The animated movie The Prince of Egypt became available on Peacock on April 1st, right before Easter. Released in 1998 as DreamWorks Animation’s second and first traditionally animated film, it’s still considered one of the best animated movies of all time by both critics and viewers. The film is a musical adaptation of the story of Exodus, telling the story of Moses’ life from his early days as an Egyptian prince to his destiny as the leader of the Israelites.

Let’s clarify how we’re ranking these anime. We’re not judging the shows themselves, but how much their delays affected the anime world overall. We’re also focusing on original series, not sequels or continuations – for example, we won’t be including both Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball Super on this list. Thankfully (or unfortunately!), many anime have experienced significant delays, giving us a lot to choose from.

The movie 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple has climbed to number two on JustWatch’s weekly Top 10 Movies chart, up from third place last week. It’s currently just behind the popular crime drama Crime 101.

A new trailer for the second season of Daredevil: Born Again revealed that Jessica Jones has a daughter. Krysten Ritter’s character says someone came to her home while her daughter was there, though the child wasn’t shown and her name or father remains a mystery. Interestingly, in the Marvel comics, Jessica Jones has a daughter named Danielle Cage with Luke Cage. Adding to the excitement, photos from the set of Daredevil: Born Again confirm that Mike Colter and Finn Jones will be returning as Luke Cage and Iron Fist, suggesting a full reunion of the Defenders team. Given Colter’s return and the comic book storyline, many fans believe the daughter will eventually become Captain America.

I’m so excited! Apple TV just gave us a fantastic update on the next season of Dark Matter. Not only will Season 2 premiere on August 28th, with new episodes coming out every week through October, but they’ve also shared what the new season is all about. It’s been almost two years since we last saw these characters, which seems to be pretty common with streaming shows these days, but this season is promising something really big – they’re finally going to answer a question fans have been waiting for ten years to get answered! And it sounds like the show is going to move beyond the original Blake Crouch book it’s based on, which is incredibly exciting!

The anime Witch Hat Atelier has launched with its first two episodes, and viewers are already enjoying it. However, some fans have pointed out differences between the anime and the original manga. Hiroaki Kojima, a producer at the animation studio Bug Films, explained on social media that these changes were made to fit the time limitations of a TV series. He stated that, “In TV anime, we unfortunately have to cut scenes sometimes due to time constraints.”

Surprise game releases, often called ‘shadow drops,’ can generate a lot of excitement and sales very quickly – I even contributed to crashing the PlayStation store when Oblivion Remastered unexpectedly launched! While not every surprise release is a success, some have been incredibly beneficial. I still believe we might see The Elder Scrolls 6 released as a shadow drop when it’s finished, but here are some of the biggest and most successful surprise game launches from recent years.

Yoshi is a beloved character for Nintendo, and the makers of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie recognized how important he is to fans. The film gave Yoshi a detailed backstory and accurately showed his close relationship with Mario and Luigi. Interestingly, when Nintendo and Illumination were searching for a voice actor – knowing Yoshi doesn’t say much – Chris Pratt actually volunteered himself for the part! The result has been a hit with both critics and audiences, which is great news for Nintendo and Illumination, especially with a popular star like Pratt involved. Furthermore, Yoshi’s games have a distinctive style that could make his movie stand out from other animated Mario adventures.

In the 2000s, Marvel introduced a lot of popular characters – some brand new, and others who took on the mantles of previous heroes. These exciting additions helped launch a strong new era for Marvel Comics in the 21st century.

A PlayStation 5 user shared a redesigned home screen on the PlayStation subreddit, highlighting upcoming changes to the PS5 interface. Since the console launched in 2020, the home screen hasn’t seen major updates, with only smaller additions like the Welcome Hub. Now, Sony is planning a significant overhaul, moving key apps – like PS Plus, the PS Store, and your game library – to a new bar at the top of the screen. You’ll be able to scroll through this bar using the L1 and R1 buttons, keeping your games front and center.
