Naruto is a really captivating story thanks to its detailed world and the many characters you won’t forget. Although the story mainly follows Team 7 – especially Naruto and Sasuke (with Sakura also playing a key role) – a lot of the supporting characters became fan favorites. Rock Lee is a perfect example of a side character who became incredibly popular and iconic within the series.
The very best anime series are incredibly competitive, meaning many excellent shows just miss out on being considered true masterpieces. Series like the recent Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War, the classic Naruto, Gintama, and Gurren Lagann would easily be considered top 10 in most years, but when looking at the best anime from 1986 to 2026, the competition is so strong that even these fantastic shows don’t quite make the cut.

Osgood Perkins’ 2024 horror thriller, Longlegs, benefited from a fantastic marketing campaign, but the film itself was even more terrifying than expected. Now, nearly two years later, Perkins is developing another movie set within the same world.

Fans have been eagerly awaiting the next generation of Pokemon games after Pokemon Scarlet and Violet came out in 2022. The usual yearly releases slowed down, with only DLC for Scarlet and Violet in 2023 and no new main game in 2024. The launch of the Nintendo Switch 2 has significantly boosted how well Pokemon games run, as seen with Pokemon Legends: Z-A (2025) and Pokemon Pokopia (2026). However, the pace of the new Pokemon anime suggests that Pokemon Winds and Waves might not arrive as soon as fans hope.
One issue with Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen is that certain Pokemon are only available in specific versions, and some are clearly stronger than their counterparts in the other version. It’s not just about version exclusives, though – some Pokemon are also much easier to find in one game compared to the other. A good example early on is Nidoran: on Route 3, male Nidoran appears much more often in FireRed, while female Nidoran is more common in LeafGreen. This matters because Nidoking is generally considered better than Nidoqueen in these remakes. This same uneven availability applies to Koffing, Grimer, Weezing, and Muk, and that might be especially important for players aiming to become Pokemon Champions.
