In a new video from the game’s creator, Yuji Horii, Square Enix revealed they built physical models of the main characters – the Hero, Kiefer, and others – and then scanned them into the game.
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle had a record-breaking opening night in the United States for a Sony Pictures Entertainment film, and it’s continued to exceed expectations. Earning an estimated $33 million on Friday, the film is projected to make $75 million over the weekend, making it the biggest opening weekend ever for an anime film in the United States.
The new *Demon Slayer* movie isn’t just about the heroes’ motivations – the demons have compelling reasons to fight too. Because the series is built on a deeply emotional story, fans are eager to learn what makes the Upper Moon Rank demons so powerful. The first part of *Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle* will focus on three significant events, involving seven main characters and several others who are essential to the story.
Released 47 years ago, *Galaxy Express 999* is a highly influential sci-fi anime from Toei Animation. The series uniquely blends futuristic space settings with a classic, almost old-fashioned style. The central element, the Galaxy Express 999 train, looks like an antique steam engine but travels across the universe seemingly by magic – we only get hints about how it actually works. The show builds its world using a dreamlike logic, creating a distinct mood of atmosphere and suspense. Though it shares similarities with *Star Trek* through its exploration and individual episodes, *Galaxy Express 999* is truly original – a retro-futuristic anime based on the work of a visionary manga artist whose stories have been adapted for decades.
Many consider *The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt* to be one of the greatest role-playing games ever made. Its protagonist, Geralt of Rivia, is a beloved character, and the game’s storytelling is highly acclaimed. While the main storyline is fantastic, a hidden side quest stands out as a fan favorite – it’s often cited as one of the best side quests in any video game. That quest is known as the Bloody Baron.
The week kicked off on Sunday with some new additions to Netflix. The streaming service added a reunion special featuring the cast of *Grace and Frankie*, and also released the 2022 comedy *Moving On*, starring Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin as two friends determined to get even.
While newer Final Fantasy games, like the remakes of *Final Fantasy 7*, have moved away from traditional turn-based battles, that style of combat is still popular. Games such as *Clair Obscur: Expedition 33* and Pokemon demonstrate there’s still a demand for strategic, thoughtful battles. These 5 JRPGs offer that classic turn-based experience, letting you carefully plan each move, all while providing fresh stories and worlds to discover.
James Gunn’s past creative choices are now having consequences as he leads DC Studios. The start of *Peacemaker* Season 2 changes what happened at the end of Season 1, swapping the Justice League for the Justice Gang from the *Superman* universe. While this is a change to the story, it’s not as drastic as completely removing a plot point, which is what *Peacemaker* does by revealing a surprising detail about Peacemaker’s life after his victory over the Butterflies.
The world of anime and manga has evolved significantly, with many exciting new series emerging and sometimes becoming even more popular than older favorites. Unlike the original “Big Three” series, many of today’s manga don’t run for decades, which makes it hard to definitively name a new “Big Three.” While series like *My Hero Academia*, *Jujutsu Kaisen*, and *Demon Slayer* were strong contenders for a while, now that those stories have finished, new, currently-running titles are quickly gaining popularity and entering the conversation.
From 1973 to 1985, Super Friends aired on ABC as a popular Saturday morning cartoon, bringing DC Comics heroes – mostly from the Justice League – to a young audience. The first three seasons are currently available to stream on Prime Video in the US, but they will be removed at the end of September 2025. That means you have limited time to enjoy nearly 50 episodes of the Justice League’s early adventures.
