Guide a band of travelers across the icy wasteland, stumbling upon the remnants of an enormous warship and searching diligently for coal to rekindle its power source. Construct dwellings albeit at a slower pace, resulting in numerous casualties due to the harsh cold. Accelerate resource collection, distribute provisions, and unearth a thriving seal colony. Neglect using this knowledge, allowing nature to take its course. Uncover that rations will not last before the impending storm (and decline the elderly’s request to leave the safety of our camp to preserve food for all). Continuously attempt new strategies, only to start anew time and again.

The animated version of Sui Ishida’s Tokyo Ghoul manga started airing in 2014, and since then, it has introduced characters like Ken Kaneki and other ghouls to a massive fanbase who continue to support the series.

You can pre-order this collection now on Crunchyroll’s store or Amazon with an expected release date of December 31st.

Ever since horror master Junji Ito began sketching manga that left readers squirming in their seats, it seemed like an insurmountable challenge to bring his work to life on screen. With Ito’s intricate details and visually unsettling imagery spanning over the years, anime adaptations have attempted but mostly fell short of meeting fan expectations. However, that all changed with Toonami, Studio Drive, and Production I.G.’s Uzumaki, as this limited series has achieved what many thought was unattainable – successfully embodying the spirit of Junji Ito’s art, resulting in a spine-tingling anime that’s ideal for Halloween viewing.

In the ongoing narrative of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians,” the cast from Camp Half-Blood expands further. This TV series, based on Rick Riordan’s popular books, primarily focuses on Walker Scobell’s character, Percy Jackson, who is a demigod. Simultaneously, it delves into the tales of other children born to Mount Olympus’s powerful deities. Initially, in “The Lightning Thief,” Percy, the son of Poseidon, was believed to be the only offspring of the Big Three (Poseidon, Zeus, Hades). However, as the main series unfolds, it gradually becomes clear that there are also other demigods roaming the human world, who share lineage with the god of lightning and the god of the dead.

Over the weekend for Batman Day 2024, I was thrilled to get my hands on a Mezco Toyz collection of 3.75-inch scale figures inspired by Tim Burton’s iconic 1989 Batman movie featuring Michael Keaton. The set includes a trio of figures – Batman, Joker, and Joker Goon – each with numerous interchangeable heads, arms, and accessories to customize their looks. To make it perfect, they also released a Batmobile vehicle that fits the Batman figure and boasts cool features like an armored canopy attachment, flip-up weapons, rotating wheels, and an attachable exhaust flame. It’s definitely going to be a great addition to my collection!

Keegan-Michael Key, famous for his role in Transformers One, confesses that he seldom gets to spend time with his longtime comedy partner Jordan Peele these days, a situation he describes as unfortunate. However, it’s not because they have fallen out; instead, they have followed separate paths professionally. While Key is garnering recognition for his serious acting roles, Peele has made a name for himself behind the scenes, directing and producing several successful genre films since his critically-acclaimed directorial debut with Get Out in 2017. These changes weren’t spontaneous; they’ve both been working diligently in various sectors of the industry, which has unfortunately left them with less time to spend together.
