As a huge Ghibli fan, I’m absolutely thrilled with how 2026 is shaping up! The studio started the year with some stunning new artwork from Miyazaki himself, and it’s been amazing. Last month, he surprised everyone with beautifully redrawn illustrations of his classic films for something called a Panorama Box. It’s a really cool technique where layers create a 3D effect – you’ll be able to see it at the Ghibli’s Grand Warehouse starting July 8th, 2026. Ghibli Park in Aichi Prefecture is just full of surprises! On top of this incredible new work from Miyazaki, they’ve also given us a sneak peek at a new collaboration with TOHO Cinemas. It’s a fantastic time to be a Ghibli enthusiast!

Netflix recently shared more information about when viewers worldwide can watch the new anime. Last month, before the anime launched, the official Netflix Anime X account announced it would begin streaming in parts of Asia on April 5th. While a specific global release date isn’t set, it will be available on the platform starting in May. Both dubbed and subtitled versions will be offered. The anime has already premiered with two episodes, and its creator, Yue Suenaga, has shared his initial reactions.

You can buy the Shinobu Kocho character (from Infinity Castle) as a standalone purchase called the “Shinobu Kocho (Infinity Castle) Character Pack.” Alternatively, you can get her as part of the “Infinity Castle – Part 1 Character Pass,” which gives you access to several other characters as well.

A powerful new hero is actually someone we’ve seen before, and she might play a key, though understated, role in the upcoming battle against Homelander. The other new characters introduced this season seem designed to be secondary, even the ones with considerable strength.

After the final episode aired, the anime’s website published interviews with the voice actors for Frieren (Atsumi Tanezaki), Fern (Kana Ichinose), and Stark (Chiaki Kobyashi). They discussed their experiences with the new season, how it differed from the first, and their overall impressions of the story. Kana Ichinose, who voices Fern, specifically talked about how her character evolved from Season 1.

The latest season of Ascendance of a Bookworm premiered with a new opening, but fans quickly noticed something was off and suspected it was created using AI. After looking into the claims, WIT Studio confirmed that AI-generated content was used. Now, the anime has a completely new opening sequence, which you can watch here.

Here is a look at the most powerful Nova Corps in the history of Marvel Comics.

Cale is a truly endearing character, and Lyonne’s performance is so captivating that it’s difficult to picture the show continuing without her at the center of the story. While there was discussion about Peter Dinklage potentially taking the lead, that seems increasingly unlikely. Only time will tell what happens, but even if it doesn’t work out, we’ll always have the 22 episodes featuring Cale – though some are definitely better than others.

The post-credits scene of Zootopia 2 strongly suggests that birds are part of the Zootopia world – similar to how everyone thought snakes had disappeared. Interestingly, the feather used to hint at this was a last-minute addition. Because there wasn’t enough time to create new animation, the filmmakers actually used graphics borrowed from a different movie.
