This week marks the first Western release of Toujinmakyouden Hercules no eikou, a classic RPG originally launched on the NES/Famicom in 1987. It was the first game in a series that became quite popular, with several sequels appearing on the Super Nintendo and Game Boy. However, those sequels never made it outside of Japan. The only exception was Glory of Heracles, which was released in North America for the Nintendo DS in 2010.
Dan Harmon, one of the creators of Rick and Morty, has confirmed they’re making a movie. Jacob Hair, who directs episodes of the show, will also direct the film.

The movie shouldn’t significantly alter the show’s storyline, though it might offer some new angles and viewpoints.
For years, roguelike games were known for challenging gameplay. Recently, developers have been focusing more on creating compelling stories within these games. Now, you’ll find emotional narratives, interesting characters, and worlds that feel richer with each playthrough.

Despite their reputation for saving lives, even heroes sometimes have blood on their hands. The Justice League, known for its virtue and selflessness, has included some surprisingly deadly members.

Let’s take a look at who caused the most damage.
The actor who played Speed Racer recently revealed that the movie’s poor performance in theaters was a huge disappointment for everyone involved. He explained that the filmmakers, particularly the Wachowskis, were enthusiastic about the film and had planned several sequels to expand the story. He said there was a real sense of sadness when the movie was critically panned and failed to attract an audience. Personally, he felt like his career trajectory had drastically changed because he’d mentally prepared to film multiple sequels over the next decade, and now he was facing an uncertain future.
It wasn’t unexpected that Soldier Boy didn’t appear in the finale of The Boys, as showrunner Eric Kripke had previously announced his absence, disappointing many fans. Homelander had frozen him again in the episode before, and since only Homelander knew about it, and the Boys believed Soldier Boy was allied with his son, neither side had a reason to include him in the final fight – or enough time to do so.
Tsuyoshi Takaki’s manga series, Black Torch, was first published in Shueisha’s Jump Square and Jump+ from 2016 to 2018, but it didn’t gain much popularity at the time.

Fans will even get a sneak peek at the anime with a special world premiere event at Anime Expo 2026 before its official release.
