Daemons of the Shadow Realm gives us some diversity, revelations, and revelations about diversity in Ep. 11 "Big Brother and Little Brother". This comes as no surprise if you're already a longtime fan of Hiromu Arakawa. She's always been pretty good about diversity and representation in her manga.
Witch Hat Atelier demonstrates that a well-designed test can have many solutions in Ep. 12 "The Shadow of Romonon". See, the whole point of a test isn't to see if the student can see which answer is the one that's defined as "correct" by the instructor. A good test is to see if the student can
Daemons of the Shadow Realm gives us an epic clash between monsters and humans in Ep. 10 "Long-Arm and Long-Leg". To be more precise actually, it's a clash between daemons, with the humans being caught firmly in the middle. However, the humans here also show that despite being so clearly
Witch Hat Atelier has always been more than a bit queer-coded, but Ep. 11 "The Test in Serpentback Cave" is where they make it obvious. The yuri is quite strong here between Coco and Agott, even if it's quite a bumpy road towards the yuri. And with Richeh getting her traumatic backstory here, this

The Power Rangers reassemble for one last mission against a new evil in the upcoming Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (2026) #1. And after a decade-long era of peace to boot. The teens are definitely no longer teens now, with all of them having their own lives and jobs as adults. Will that hiatus

Daemons of the Shadow Realm gives Yuru and Asa a very tense breakfast to look forward to in Ep. 8 "Suspicion and Conviction". All with a whole bunch of lore dropped and many characters being explored for their motivations and goals, which all leads to some rather critical decisions on both Yuru's
Remaking Faces of Death is a hell of a move in 2026. Although, this movie doesn't really remake that diabolical film from 1978, it instead takes inspiration from it and it even exists in the universe that this film takes place in. So getting that out of the way so that the horror "diehards" who
The trailer for A24's The Drama does a great job of keeping things intentionally vague. We meet Charlie (Robert Pattinson) and Emma (Zendaya), a couple about to get married who seem like they know everything about each other… until they very clearly don’t. One drunken night at dinner with
When Margaret Atwood returned to Gilead almost 35 years later, with her book The Testaments, the sequel to her seminal The Handmaid’s Tale, they said she could never match its genius. The story more than matched her 1985 dystopian classic, winning the 2019 Booker Prize, feeling horrifically timely
