If you’re not super familiar with romantasy, it’s a fun blend of fantasy and romance – think magical worlds with a big focus on the love story. Usually, it follows a woman, often someone relatable, who gets thrown into this incredible, mystical adventure, and let’s just say things get pretty heated! And honestly, as a huge fan, I still think A Discovery of Witches is the gold standard – nothing really tops it for me.

Interest in the God of War series recently hit a high point with the surprise release of God of War: Sons of Sparta during a PlayStation presentation. This followed the announcement of a God of War Trilogy remake, but Sons of Sparta quickly gained attention for its unique visual style and gameplay, which was inspired by the Metroidvania genre. While many fans were thrilled to finally see the long-awaited game, a vocal group strongly criticized it both when it was revealed and after playing. This strong reaction has led me to consider what it means for the future of the series, especially with excitement growing for the next installment, God of War 6.

The anime series Reborn As a Vending Machine, I Now Wander The Dungeon is returning for a third season! The show follows a character who is reincarnated as a vending machine in a fantasy world, offering helpful items to adventurers. Since its debut in 2023, the unique premise has gained a dedicated fanbase, making the third season a highly anticipated release in 2026. With the original creator, Hirukuma, continuing to write new light novel and manga content, there’s potential for even more seasons beyond the upcoming one. You can find a preview of the new season below.

Born and raised in Greenwich, Connecticut, actor William Noonan was remarkably tall – six feet five inches – and initially played basketball as a young man. He started his career on stage but quickly transitioned to film in the 1980s. Some of his earliest roles were in Paul Mazursky’s Willie & Phil, John Cassavetes’s Gloria, and the notoriously unsuccessful Heaven’s Gate directed by Michael Cimino.

The fourth part of Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War – The Calamity will continue to benefit from the involvement of creator Tite Kubo, who is helping with the anime’s production, just as he did with the previous three parts. Kubo recently shared a message with fans through his Klub Outside group, hinting at his work on an upcoming episode in this final season. He also revealed that a completely new character, not featured in the original manga finale, will be making their debut.

The game is making a significant change to one of the X-Men, suggesting it’s willing to alter established storylines. While popular heroes like Wolverine and Storm will be playable, the inclusion of Danger as an ally is unexpected. Here’s a look at Danger’s original comic book portrayal and why her heroic version in Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls is so surprising.

LaserDisc games weren’t just innovative – they completely changed what was possible in gaming. This technology led to incredible titles like Dragon’s Lair, Space Ace, and Mad Dog McCree. These games were essentially interactive movies; players made choices at certain moments – usually by reacting to a highlighted object on screen – which would instantly trigger a corresponding video clip. The responsiveness was remarkable, and it seemed like LaserDisc games would become the future of arcades. However, despite their initial promise and groundbreaking features, the format ultimately faded away.

The newest episode of Starfleet Academy was surprisingly sensual, starting with a very intimate scene featuring tastefully done nudity. While not as explicit as some romantic fantasy stories, the connection between Caleb Mir and Tarima Sadal had many of the same elements: magical abilities, a sense of being different, intense attraction, and a forbidden romance—she’s a student at the War College, and he’s a rebellious Starfleet cadet. If any Star Trek series was going to depict normal, healthy sexuality, it would be Starfleet Academy. And the episode also included a long-awaited scene that was famously cut from earlier Star Trek footage.

Just because everyone’s talking about the big AAA games doesn’t mean there aren’t tons of awesome smaller titles on PS5 too. I was stoked to see Sony just announced they’re bringing 11 of them to us in 2026 – can’t wait to check those out!
