The final episode of *Rascal Does Not Dream of Santa Claus* recently aired, along with the summer anime schedule wrap-up. However, a big surprise was also revealed: the series won’t continue with a new season. Instead, a new movie, *Rascal Does Not Dream of a Dear Friend*, is planned for release next year. You can find a first look at the movie below.
The horror movie *The Devil Inside*, known for its shocking ending and controversial marketing, is still generating discussion years after its 2012 release. Now streaming on Paramount+ since September 1st, the film-directed by William Brent Bell-follows a woman investigating the disturbing events surrounding her mother, who was accused of killing three people while seemingly possessed two decades earlier. It received a very low 6% score from critics on Rotten Tomatoes.
I was really happy to see how these games connected to each other. It was great to watch the characters develop and see storylines properly resolved. Unlike many other series where characters rarely reappear, *The Wind Waker*, *Phantom Hourglass*, and *Spirit Tracks* offered a strong sense of continuity, and I still enjoy them for that reason.
This week also brings new releases like *Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2* on Switch, *UNYIELDER* for PC, and an early access version of *Genokids* for PC.
Of all the characters in *The Vampire Diaries*, which ones truly had satisfying and well-resolved storylines? Here are four characters who received the best endings.
Putting aside talk about his role as Daredevil, Damian Lillard recently told an audience at LACC that he’s hoping James Gunn will consider him for a future project. He joked that he’s been waiting for the call and feels like the invitation might have gotten lost in the mail.
Patrick Stewart has already been in a Marvel project, but most of his former colleagues from the X-Men haven’t. With Marvel planning to restart the X-Men series, this could be their final opportunity to play superheroes. However, a few of the mutants from the *Doomsday* movie might get another chance because they’re also appearing in the *Deadpool* franchise. Even so, the upcoming *Avengers* film could negatively impact how these characters are viewed, so it might be best if they don’t stay around for too long.
Adult Swim has launched several exciting new animated shows this year, and October will bring even more. One standout is *Haha, You Clowns*, which feels surprisingly different from other Adult Swim series, offering a surprisingly heartwarming vibe as seen in its trailer. Check out the trailer below to get a preview of this unique show.
In *Hades 2*, you’re ultimately working towards two major final battles. First, you’ll help Melinoe defeat Chronos and reclaim the Underworld. Then, her family will ask for your assistance with a separate conflict on Olympus. To see the complete ending, you need to beat both Chronos and conquer Olympus. However, defeating Chronos only once isn’t enough, as he’s an immortal Titan and will keep returning.
Even though the Straw Hat Pirates’ story seems to be nearing its end, the series still has a lot more to unfold. Each major arc, or Saga, is different, so fans will likely always debate which one is the best – they all bring something special to the table. While no arc of *One Piece* is truly weak, some are definitely stronger and more memorable than others.
