Let’s look back at the incredible anime of the 1990s by celebrating some of the biggest hits and now-classic shows. While some ’90s anime can be difficult to find, many popular series are now easily available on streaming services like Crunchyroll and HIDIVE. This accessibility likely contributed to a recent surge in their popularity, but I believe fan-made videos on TikTok and YouTube have played an even larger role.
The Shinjuku Showdown arc of Jujutsu Kaisen would be perfect for a movie release. As the final arc of the series, it kicks off with the epic battle between Gojo and Sukuna. This arc is packed with thrilling action and features some of the best fights in recent shonen anime. The Gojo versus Sukuna fight is already legendary in the manga, and seeing it on the big screen would make it truly unforgettable.
Oda’s storytelling in One Piece continues to improve, and many characters stand out due to their incredible accomplishments. Here are a few who have truly left their mark on the series.
Okay, so when I’m hitting up those important locations, I’ve learned it’s way better to bring my own gear instead of relying on whatever free stuff is lying around. You never know when you’ll run into some aggressive Raiders or those tough ARC guys, and being prepared makes all the difference. For places like the hospital, where things get tight, I like to use something like the Il Toro or Kettle – they’re good for a lighter loadout. But if I’m going in expecting a real fight, I’ll grab the Bobcat or Vulcano. And honestly, a couple of Jolt Mines are a lifesaver. I always place them near the doors to give me a heads-up if someone’s coming.
The idea of a challenging hunt isn’t inherently negative – some players actually enjoy the effort, feeling the reward is greater when they finally get a shiny Pokémon. I understand that perspective, and in theory, I agree. But because I really love shiny Pokémon, I struggle with grinds that can take 70+ hours, like finding a shiny starter in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen. I simply don’t have that much free time. I was lucky to find mine after 43 hours of resetting, and that makes me wish I was still playing the newer games like Gen 9 and Scarlet and Violet.
Microsoft’s gaming division is heading in a new direction following the retirement of longtime leader Phil Spencer, who envisioned a future where gaming wasn’t tied to specific consoles. CEO Satya Nadella unexpectedly appointed Asha Sharma to run the $24 billion business. Sharma’s background is different from Spencer’s; she comes from companies like Meta and Instacart and most recently worked on AI projects at Microsoft. This choice worried some dedicated fans and industry experts, who feared someone without a gaming background wouldn’t fully grasp what gamers want, and some speculated she might scale back Microsoft’s console business to prioritize artificial intelligence. While Xbox hasn’t been performing as well as Nintendo and Sony lately, it remains an important part of Microsoft’s overall business.
It can be a little strange for longtime anime fans to revisit shows they loved as kids or teens and realize they now feel like classics from the past, especially with so many exciting new anime like Jujutsu Kaisen and Gachiakuta being popular today. However, becoming a classic is something to be proud of! It means these older anime were truly the best of their era, and they deserve to be remembered and appreciated, even if they don’t feel as brand new anymore.
Many people experience a letdown after finishing something they’ve really enjoyed, and this isn’t just limited to video games. Fans of anime, books, or any other long-form entertainment often feel a similar sense of emptiness once it’s over. This ‘post-game depression’ happens because the time you spent engaging with the story or activity is suddenly gone, leaving a void. It’s similar to how you might feel after achieving a big goal – a bit down once the excitement fades. As video games become more complex and lengthy, finishing one can be a real accomplishment, and that accomplishment can be followed by surprisingly strong emotions.
Fans of One Piece won’t have to wait much longer for the show’s return – it’s coming in under two weeks! But before the new season starts, there’s a special treat: a brand new opening sequence will be released on March 28, 2026. This will give fans their first glimpse of the highly anticipated Elbaf arc, even before the episodes air. Considering the excellent openings during the Egghead Arc, this new sequence will likely give fans a good idea of what to expect from the upcoming story.
Before Nintendo brings the cosmic adventures of the upcoming Super Mario Galaxy movie to theaters, fans are hoping to see one more iconic location adapted for the big screen: Isle Delfino from Super Mario Sunshine. Many believe this tropical paradise would be the ideal setting for a third Super Mario film, offering a fun and refreshing contrast to the space-based adventure and leaving audiences eager for more with its signature “Wahoo!” energy.
