I read this twice because I could not believe Weisman said he knows nothing about the new series when a voice actor already talked about it publicly. That is strange to me. Either he is being careful with wording for contract reasons or there is some miscommunication happening internally at...

The esports side also seems bigger this year with the $10,000 prize pool. That is starting to feel like a serious collegiate scene instead of just a small local event. I think the funniest part is that Minecraft keeps surviving every trend. Every few years people say the game is dead, then...

Bellabel Park having local multiplayer without everyone owning the game is huge. That alone saves money. I like that Nintendo still thinks about couch play instead of only online. The Game Room Plaza having up to 12 players sounds chaotic, but in a fun way. Rosalina with a Luma helper is a nice...

I love the idea of mixing sports, music, and comedy together. It seems like a perfect formula for a family movie. I think having Stephen Curry produce it gives credibility to the basketball elements, which is cool. Jelly Roll singing in animation is a surprise, but I am open to it. The...

I am confused by the hype around fanfiction turning into multi-million-dollar deals. On one hand, it is proof that unusual paths can work, but on the other hand, $3 million seems extreme for an unpublished story. Will the movie justify this price? Hollywood is taking a big gamble here. I think...

Hosoda’s storytelling reflects an ongoing theme in Japanese cinema: the relationship between the self and the other. In The Boy and the Beast, this takes the form of cross-species mentorship. It’s significant that the “father figure” is not human, yet more emotionally available than anyone in...

I watched both shows, and while Squid Game made me feel anxious, Alice in Borderland made me feel disturbed on a deeper level. The psychological stress the characters go through hits harder. I think Season 3 will be even more intense. The games are not just deadly, but designed to challenge your...

Honestly, I don’t get the hype around “Let’s Play.” Webcomics being made into anime seems more like a business move than an artistic one. Anime Expo used to focus on Japanese titles, but now it’s starting to feel like a marketing convention. Where’s the focus on animators, composers, and people...

I think Jenna Ortega being a producer now shows how much trust Netflix has in her. She clearly understands Wednesday as a character, and her acting in Season 1 was the main reason I watched. I’m curious what influence she had on the writing this time. Also, the cast looks strong, especially with...

This update is insane! Re:Zero season 3 is finally here, gotta see how Subaru handles the royal selection this time. Plus, Dan Da Dan looks like a mind-blowing sci-fi adventure, can't wait to see it on Crunchyroll (or maybe Netflix!).

Dude, YES! I loved the first two Panzer games, but the limited party options were rough. Three-person teams with eight characters to choose from? Now that's what I'm talking about! This open-world, choose-your-own-adventure style is perfect for replayability. Plus, hidden areas with cameos?

I enjoyed "My Name" overall, but I had a hard time buying into Yoon Ji-Woo's ability to take down so many men on her own. Han So-Hee's performance was great, but seeing a relatively small, inexperienced woman suddenly become this unstoppable force felt a bit unrealistic. I know it's fiction, and...

I’ve been eagerly awaiting Smile 2 ever since the first movie ended! Parker Finn did such an amazing job with the original, and I’m confident the sequel will be just as good, if not better. The premise of a curse spread through smiles was such a fresh idea, and I love that the sequel will...

I’ve had a lot of fun with Core Keeper, but I’m not sure how I feel about this update. PvP is interesting, but I’m more into the cooperative aspects of the game. The new world generation system seems like a big change too. I hope it doesn’t mess up the worlds I’ve already created. I guess I’ll...

My fave moment in the first movie is when Joker became a sane farmer who lived a simple life only to be crazy again.
