The anime series Lazarus marks the first original project directed by Watanabe since Carole & Tuesday in 2019. It’s produced by the renowned Studio MAPPA, known for hits like Jujutsu Kaisen and Chainsaw Man. Recently, the fan account @Swimpedia shared an updated schedule for Toonami, the anime programming block that airs on Saturdays from 12 a.m. to 3:50 a.m.
Some stories endure because they aren’t afraid to tackle complex ideas. The richer and more detailed a fantasy world is, the more real it feels to audiences, and the easier it is for them to connect with it. Fantasy doesn’t need to be completely separate from our own lives, either. Even a touch of magic or the unusual in an otherwise familiar setting can create a sense of wonder that goes beyond what typical dramas offer.
The gloomy look of the recent Spider-Man trailer could just be a stylistic choice, meant to show Peter Parker’s mood. However, some fans believe it hints at a bigger plot point. They point to the upcoming Thunderbolts movie, where a similar darkness descends on New York City. If the trailer scene shows that event from Peter’s point of view, the new film could finally reveal a key part of Spider-Man’s origin story that’s been missing from the Marvel Cinematic Universe: the death of Uncle Ben.
Besides the Avengers, the X-Men are one of Marvel Comics’ most famous superhero teams, and fans are excited to see them join the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Marvel Studios appears to be developing this in several ways. According to entertainment insider Daniel RPK, a fourth X-Men-related project is now in development, reportedly an X-Force project, though details are still unknown.
The latest trailer for Lucasfilm’s Maul — Shadow Lord gave fans their best view yet of Jedi Master Eeko-Dio Daki. Daki seems to have a significant part to play in the series, which will be Darth Maul’s first standalone project.
As a huge Zelda fan, it’s easy to picture things like Link’s green outfit or the different versions of Zelda herself. But what really sticks with me are the items Link uses on his quests! Whether it’s a super powerful artifact, a magical sword, or even just a simple tool, so many of those items are totally iconic – even people who don’t usually play Zelda games would probably recognize them.
At $200 million, the new space film is likely Ryan Gosling’s biggest action role to date, but he’s certainly no stranger to playing heroes. And let’s be honest, few actors look as good while saving the world as this Canadian star – a lot of that comes down to his consistently fantastic costumes.
Marvel Studios recently launched four new projects—three shows on Disney+ and one movie—as part of Phase 6 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. They’ve all been well-received by both critics and fans, making it difficult to rank them because each one is so strong.
The film Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba The Movie – Infinity Castle won the “Anime of the Year” award at the Tokyo Anime Award Festival 2026. During the acceptance speech, Yuichi Terao, the film’s cinematography and finishing director, praised the animation team’s hard work, especially the 3D animators who built the elaborate “Infinity Castle.”
I’m a huge sci-fi fan, and it’s always a bit of a gamble. You see a show like Severance really take off, which is fantastic, but then you remember Firefly – a brilliant show that was just gone too soon. There are so many amazing sci-fi series out there, and when they’re good, they just keep getting better, but you always worry they might not get the chance!
