One of the most compelling genres in anime features a hero transported to a new world and forced to start over from nothing. Some shows really stand out by creating incredibly detailed and well-developed societies, with a lot of thought put into their world-building. Here are seven popular Isekai anime that focus heavily on building and developing these new worlds.
The sixth book in the A Court of Thorns and Roses series will be released on October 27th, and the seventh book will follow on January 12th. While the sixth book will answer many of our questions about the overall story, the seventh book promises to be special too – it’s breaking two series records, which should make it an amazing read.
As a long-time D&D fan, it’s been awesome seeing how they’ve been developing the 5th Edition rules this year! They’ve been releasing a lot of ‘Unearthed Arcana’ content – basically, playtest materials – which has given us players a ton of new options, especially with subclasses. Sometimes these are totally new ideas, and other times they’re revamped versions of older favorites. It’s cool to see how they test things out! A great example is the Artificer class. I remember seeing an early version in Unearthed Arcana, and then it officially showed up in the Eberron: Forge of the Artificer book. It’s exciting to see those ideas make it into the official rules!
A discussion on a Harry Potter Reddit thread started when someone shared their unpopular opinion that Hagrid shouldn’t have been hired as a teacher at Hogwarts. While acknowledging Hagrid’s good qualities, the original poster pointed out that he was expelled from school, never completed his magical exams (OWLs or NEWTs), and didn’t even have a wand. They argued that while Hagrid was unfairly expelled and had valuable practical knowledge, he lacked the necessary qualifications to teach. This sparked a large debate about whether Hagrid was truly fit for the job.
Arnold Schwarzenegger recently shared exciting news with TheArnoldFans.com at the Arnold Sports Festival: Fox is developing a new King Conan movie! He revealed that Christopher McQuarrie, the director behind the last four Mission: Impossible films, has been hired to write and direct. If this is confirmed, fans could finally see a sequel to Conan the Destroyer after over 40 years.
Well-known classics often get updated for today’s audiences, but many creative shows from the 1990s have been forgotten. This is unfortunate because a lot of innovative series were canceled too soon or didn’t get the attention they deserved, leaving complex storylines unfinished.
When DC relaunched their universe with the New 52, Superman got a fresh start with a new backstory and world. We were all so excited! They put Grant Morrison – arguably their best writer – on Action Comics, which was supposed to be one of their biggest titles. It really felt like things were going to be incredible for the character and for us fans. But looking back now, knowing how things turned out, the New 52 is actually considered one of the weakest periods for Superman. Thankfully, Morrison’s run on Action Comics still holds up as one of the very best Superman series ever written.
I remember when Captain Marvel came out on March 8, 2019. It got some really good buzz and absolutely crushed it at the box office, earning over $1.13 billion worldwide! It felt like proof that Marvel could make a blockbuster out of any of their characters. But looking back, it’s kind of amazing – it turned out to be the last time an original Marvel movie, not a sequel, managed to hit that billion-dollar mark. Everything since then – Avengers: Endgame, Spider-Man: Far From Home, Spider-Man: No Way Home, and now Deadpool & Wolverine – has all been part of already-established, successful franchises.
Prime Video’s new action thriller, Shadow Force, follows Kyrah and Isaac, former leaders of an elite international special forces team.

Now, their past is catching up to them – the Shadow Force is hunting them down, and a hefty reward has been offered for their capture, forcing them to fight for their lives.
