A key feature of Nen is that it actually benefits from limitations. If a character willingly puts restrictions or takes risks on their own powers, those powers can become significantly stronger. The anime is praised for taking the time to thoroughly explain its power system and focusing on strategic battles, which is a big reason why many fans consider it a particularly well-written action series.
On February 13th, Xbox Game Pass subscribers will get immediate access to the highly anticipated High on Life 2 upon its release on Xbox Series X and PC. The original High on Life was a huge hit on Game Pass in 2022, becoming the service’s biggest single-player and third-party launch ever, so the sequel is already shaping up to be one of the biggest releases of 2026. Also coming to Game Pass on February 13th is Kingdom Come Deliverance, a popular RPG from 2018 and the first game in a series that continued with the critically acclaimed Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 in 2025.
Good news for fans! A sixth season of the anime Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? (also known as DanMachi) is officially happening. The announcement came during a 10th-anniversary event in Japan, and a new teaser trailer offers a glimpse of what’s to come.

The Star Wars Kids YouTube channel recently shared a short animated video showing Rey’s journey in the sequel trilogy. Near the end, the video portrays her battle with Emperor Palpatine, explaining she gains strength and support from “the power of 1,000 generations of Jedi.” As this is said, the video flashes images of Jedi Masters like Luke, Leia, Yoda, Qui-Gon Jinn, and Ahsoka. This suggests that Ahsoka died before the events of the sequel trilogy.
Golden Trigger isn’t a disaster, but it’s also not a brilliant, overlooked gem. It frequently looks good and has moments of cleverness, but often loses sight of its main direction. The show aims for the adventurous spirit of the original Dragon Ball, but also feels pressure from Dragon Ball Z to escalate every conflict into a massive battle. This constant struggle between those two ideas is why people are still debating Golden Trigger decades later. It’s not simply that viewers disagree with the creative decisions; the series itself is fundamentally built on conflicting ideas.
The horror film Clown in a Cornfield, directed by Eli Craig, is coming to Hulu on February 10th. While it had a limited release in theaters last May, it actually did well at the box office and is worth checking out when it starts streaming.
Batman is a formidable hero, but there have been many different versions of him over the years, and some aren’t as powerful as the one most people know. Sometimes, other characters have temporarily become Batman when Bruce Wayne was unavailable. Other times, these are simply different versions from alternate universes or past storylines that don’t measure up to the current Batman. Here are five of the weakest versions of Batman to appear in comic books. While they each have some abilities, none of them are as strong as the Batman we see today.
Admiral Helena Cain, portrayed by Michelle Forbes, was a compelling villain motivated by saving humanity, even if it meant sacrificing her morals and the values of the original colonies. She disrupted the fleet and directly challenged William Adama (Edward James Olmos), establishing herself as one of the show’s most memorable antagonists. Cain’s story concluded in the critically acclaimed episode “Resurrection Ship – Part 2” on January 13, 2006, in a way that felt realistic and avoided simplistic portrayals of evil or easy forgiveness.
Valve recently explained on Steam why they haven’t announced the release date or price of the Steam Machine. They originally intended to have that information, along with details for the new Steam Frame VR headset, available by now. However, shortages of parts have significantly increased manufacturing costs, forcing Valve to reconsider their plans. They still aim to launch both products in the first half of the year, but aren’t ready to share specific dates or prices just yet.
Rather than trying to be exactly like the original series, House of the Dragon focuses on a specific conflict – the Targaryen civil war – and a more limited political landscape. This makes for a more focused and intense show, full of drama and harsh moments, but it also means it doesn’t have the same sweeping scale that attracted so many viewers to Game of Thrones. Is House of the Dragon better or worse? It’s not a simple question. Here are three areas where the new show excels, and three where it doesn’t quite measure up.
