In a recent interview with *Hollywood Authentic*, Hermione Granger actress Emma Watson explained her decision to take a break from acting. She acknowledged how lucky she was to find success in the industry, but emphasized that the constant promotion and publicity surrounding her work became overwhelming. Watson admitted she disliked the business side of acting, finding it creatively draining, and that she missed the actual artistic process itself. She felt she spent too little time doing what she truly loved about her job.

Kadokawa’s *Isekai Quartet* has become incredibly popular, resulting in two full seasons of the TV series and a movie. This crossover brings together characters from hit anime like *Overlord*, *Konosuba*, and *The Rising of the Shield Hero*, and even more series are joining the fun in the upcoming third season. You can get a sneak peek at the new crossovers with the trailer and poster released for *Isekai Quartet* Season 3.

While a release date for the new anime movie, *Death Stranding: Mosquito*, hasn’t been announced yet, we’re learning more about this first animated project from Hideo Kojima. The film is being produced by ABC Animation Studio, known for popular series like *Violet Evergarden*, *Darling in the FranXX*, and *Lycoris Recoil*. Hiroshi Miyamoto, who has worked on titles like *Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods* and *Saint Seiya: Legend of Sanctuary*, is directing. Details about the story are still coming, but the movie’s main character certainly lives up to the “Mosquito” title with its unusual appearance, and Norman Reedus may be involved.

These four games all had rough starts, but eventually won over players and became beloved titles. They’re listed alphabetically, so the order doesn’t indicate a ranking.

PlayStation will host a new State of Play broadcast on Wednesday, September 24th at 5pm Eastern Time / 2pm Pacific Time.

I absolutely love *One Piece*, it’s a pirate anime legend! But honestly, getting into it can feel like a huge commitment with so many episodes. If you’re craving a pirate adventure but aren’t sure about diving into that massive series, don’t worry! There are tons of other fantastic anime out there that explore the world of piracy – some even take it to space! And while some shows put a modern spin on the idea of pirates, others stick to the classic swashbuckling adventures. I’ve put together a list of ten awesome pirate anime that are perfect if you’re looking for something new to watch.

It’s not always because fans stop playing that online games disappear. Even games people love can be taken offline for reasons beyond player interest. Things like legal issues, lost licensing agreements, or publishers deciding not to spend money on maintaining older games can all cause a game to be removed, and that’s what happened with these three titles.

This story isn’t about inherited power or heartbreaking loss. It’s about a group of people creating their own definition of family after years of emotional hurt and intentional separation during their childhoods. Watching them slowly learn to trust and care for each other highlights the power of forgiveness and the strength that comes from supporting one another-a connection that feels more genuine and relatable than many of the other relationships in the series.

The new game, currently known as Physint, is likely a PlayStation 6 title, as it’s still very early in development and doesn’t even have a cast chosen yet. Despite this, Hideo Kojima recently offered a small glimpse into the project during a celebration of his studio’s 10th anniversary.

The game *Girls Band Cry: First Riff* will be showcased at Tokyo Game Show 2025, held from September 25th to 28th at Makuhari Messe in Chiba, Japan. Attendees can watch the teaser trailer, play a demo of *Momoka o Washoi*, and collect promotional goodies at the booth.
