The recent cancellation of Buffy might come as a surprise, but it’s not the first time a show from the Buffy universe has been cut short. Back in the 2000s, plans for a sixth season of Angel fell through, leaving the show with an unresolved cliffhanger. More recently, before New Sunnydale was announced, some of the original Buffy cast reunited for Slayers: A Buffyverse Story, an audio drama from Audible.

The anime series Akane-banashi, created by Yuki Suenaga and Takamasa Moue, has quietly become a standout show this spring. It was previously only available on YouTube, but now it’s streaming on Netflix with a brand new English dub! The first two episodes are available now, with more episodes coming out each week, making it a great time to start watching.

This could be a challenge for game developers. A recent survey shows most gamers aren’t purchasing games when they first release, preferring to wait for discounts or try different, more affordable options. While this makes sense for players, it’s concerning for developers because traditional measures of success rely on strong initial sales.

So, Variety is reporting what the casting director, Nina Gold, is looking for in the next James Bond, and it basically comes down to two things. First, they need someone who just naturally has that undeniable sex appeal. But, and this is important, they also need someone relatively young – someone who could realistically play 007 for at least four movies, maybe even more! As a movie fan, that makes total sense – you want someone who can grow with the role.

It often felt like the creators were determined to answer every question about the story, even ones fans hadn’t thought to ask. However, some mysteries remain unsolved. We still don’t fully understand the secrets of the Department of Mysteries, or much about Harry’s wider family history. But the biggest unanswered question—one crucial to the entire story—concerns Horcruxes. We know creating one requires murder, but J.K. Rowling deliberately avoided providing specific details, and actually deepened the mystery in a 2007 interview on the PotterCast podcast, stating:

Nemesis is a thrilling cat-and-mouse story about an LAPD detective determined to catch a brilliant thief responsible for a series of bold robberies. Their pursuit quickly becomes a personal obsession, a high-stakes game where only one can win. The show evokes the classic feel of crime noir, and strong performances from the actors have earned it rave reviews.

A recent leak, shared by a source named Tidux, suggests a new PlayStation State of Play is coming soon. Tidux’s information hasn’t always been accurate, but they’ve been right on occasion. This follows confirmation from Nate the Hate, a well-known and reliable industry insider, who says he has a rough idea of when the event will happen – indicating details are starting to surface from those involved. Tidux hasn’t shared any specifics beyond confirming the State of Play is on the horizon.

HIDIVE will be the exclusive streaming home for the anime version of The Forsaken Saintess and Her Foodie Road Trip in Another World this summer. Fans in the U.S., Canada, as well as the U.K., Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand will be able to watch it. The series arrives on HIDIVE in July, and you can find a trailer below.

The Scarlet Witch has been responsible for some of the biggest changes in the Marvel Universe. From completely altering reality in “House of M” to magically creating and then losing her twin children, here’s a look at her most impactful comic book storylines – the ones that dramatically reshaped everything around her.

Although the game was a hit, a proper sequel has never been released – it’s only been improved with updates and fixes. While many people have speculated about a third game, none have come to fruition. This has allowed fans to create their own modifications, and the newest one, Mann Versus Zombies, shows there’s still plenty of potential left in the game. In fact, it might just prove that a third installment is exactly what players want.
