Three bored teenagers decide to form a rock band, not because they believe they can make it, even or fake it, but […]
It all ends here: many years after a launch that quickly turned into a breakout hit, Attack On Titan is winding down its story with its fourth and final season of episodes.

A few days ago, Adult Swim ran a Lazor Wulf marathon as part of their Thanksgiving Weekend schedule (other currently running shows like Rick & Morty and Primal got marathons as well as classics like Aqua Teen Hunger Force).

The words “White Snake” might bring to mind an 80s hair metal band in America, but in China they think of an ancient folk tale. And that tale is the premise behind the new animated movie of the same name, heading to disc and digital formats later this month. As you know, Chinese animation factories […]
By the end of November, we’ll finally know if the Animaniacs reboot was worth it or not. The long-in development partnership between Hulu and WB, probably the only one of its kind now that every studio has their own streaming service, will at last produce its fruit a month from now.
