The Tokyo Extreme Racer series started as a Sega exclusive, but in 2001, Genki shifted it to PlayStation 2 with Tokyo Xtreme Racer: Zero. Over the next four years, they released several more games – Tokyo Xtreme Racer: Drift, Tokyo Xtreme Racer 3, and Tokyo Xtreme Racer: Drift 2 – all for PlayStation. After that, the series went silent on PlayStation. In 2006, Import Tuner Challenge was released exclusively for Xbox 360, but after that, the series largely disappeared except for a few mobile games. Now, the series is making a comeback.

Some sci-fi TV shows never get the attention they deserve, but manage to find dedicated fans. Others quietly become hidden treasures.

Here are some currently streaming in the US, perfect for a sci-fi night.

Based on the popular manga and anime, Death Note The Musical first debuted in Japan in 2015 and has since been performed around the globe, including in Russia, the UK, and South Korea. Anime fans in London will soon have a chance to see a unique stage version of Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata’s story, as performances begin at the Barbican Theatre on July 30th and run until September 12th. Interestingly, the production team includes designer Jon Bausor, who previously worked on the stage adaptation of Studio Ghibli’s Spirited Away.

When people think of superhero TV shows, Smallville is often one of the first that comes to mind. Although critics weren’t blown away – it has a 78% rating – it remains a hugely memorable show for many millennials. Spanning ten seasons, the series focuses on Superman’s early life, showing young Kal-El learning to control his powers and accept the responsibilities that come with them, all while dealing with everyday teenage issues. This makes it a particularly interesting and relatable coming-of-age story, and it really enhances your appreciation for the iconic superhero.

I noticed this week that the Me & Roboco movie is now streaming on Crunchyroll! It originally came out in Japanese theaters last year and was a fun surprise for fans, even featuring a crossover with characters from other popular anime. Unfortunately, it didn’t get a wide international release until now, so it’s great that fans can finally watch it on Crunchyroll.

We still don’t know exactly what happened in DC K.O. #5, but it seems unlikely DC would leave its universe unprotected for long. Recent announcements reveal that Superboy-Prime, a character once known for causing trouble, will be taking over the main Superman comic. He’ll essentially be the DC Universe’s Superman while the original is missing. This raises several questions: who is Superboy-Prime, why is he taking on this responsibility, and can he be relied on to do the right thing?

Resident Evil Requiem takes the series in a new direction, especially with the introduction of the Elpis antiviral and how it could impact future storylines. The game’s focus on Grace—initially believed to be Alyssa’s daughter—reveals a surprising backstory that unexpectedly links her to a core villain from the Resident Evil universe.

Forget just dark atmospheres and familiar storylines – the new episodes of The Vampire Lestat bring plenty of new conflicts, suspense, and a surprisingly different feel. Here are the 5 most exciting things you can look forward to.
