Iwaaki is best known for Parasyte, which gained even more fans after its anime adaptation in 2014. However, many weren’t familiar with his earlier work, the historical manga Historie, until recently. Historie first appeared in Kodansha’s Afternoon magazine in 2003, and an anime adaptation by LINDENFILMS was announced earlier this year. Now, Anime News Network reports that the anime will premiere in January 2027. Adding to the excitement, Nobunaga Shimazaki, who voiced Shinichi Izumi in Parasyte: The Maxim, will voice Eumenes in Historie. A new promotional video also revealed additional cast members.

As a huge DC fan, I’ve been keeping track of all the teams James Gunn is building for the DCU, and it’s interesting to see what’s popped up so far. We’ve seen what looks like the very first version of the Justice League – or maybe the Justice Society – in Superman, and teams like the Creature Commandos and the Suicide Squad have already been established in other projects. But that’s pretty much it! Lanterns is going to give us the Green Lantern Corps, which is awesome, but beyond that, a lot of the iconic teams from the comics are still missing. I know they can’t include everyone, but it’s a little surprising considering DC has already laid the groundwork for some of these groups in previous movies and shows.

Though it wasn’t an instant sensation, Kiki’s Delivery Service, first released in 1989, has become beloved by audiences worldwide. 2026 promises to be a fantastic year for fans, as the film recently made its IMAX debut in North America this March to great success, and Japan is hosting special screenings nationwide. Excitingly, Penguin Random House has confirmed the first-ever English translation of Eiko Kadono’s sequel novel, Kiki and the New Magic. The original film was based on Kadono’s award-winning 1985 novel, and the sequel, released in 1993, will be available in paperback, hardcover, ebook, and audiobook formats on August 26th, 2026.

On September 8th, a new book collecting the first three issues of Dune: House Corrino will be released in softcover. Written by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson (sons of original Dune author Frank Herbert) with artwork by Simone Ragazzoni and a cover by Raymond Swanland, this series launched in 2024 and is based on their 2001 novel of the same name. Dune: House Corrino is the third book in the “House Trilogy,” following Dune: House Atreides and Dune: House Harkonnen. This release is perfectly timed for fans as anticipation builds for the movie premiere of Dune: Messiah.

This anime is popular and highly praised for its original ideas, setting it apart from other shows. It was quickly renewed for a second season after the first one ended, though a release date hasn’t been announced yet. The creator recently spoke with Anime News Network about the story, what inspired it, and the anime adaptation.

Kija and Yona’s birthdays are close together – April 6th and 7th, respectively. However, the artist shared celebratory artwork for both of them on April 22nd due to a busy schedule. As popular characters, the post quickly gained a lot of attention and likes from fans. The artwork shows both Kija and Yona in gentle colors, wearing outfits that are a little different from their usual looks.

The game features both familiar and new characters within the story’s universe, battling fresh dangers that emerged after mysterious gates appeared. Alongside the game, new short stories were released, delving into the particularly tragic origins of two characters.

Footage and photos surfaced on social media Monday showing a film set at Wembley Park in London. The clips appear to depict an action sequence, but it doesn’t seem like Tom Holland was filming – a stunt double wearing a Spider-Man suit was seen instead. While fans think it might be reshoots for the movie Brand New Day, the timing suggests that’s probably not the case. You can see the footage below.
