The Kazakhstan-based studio Odd Meter has a hard time categorizing their game, Indika, and for good reason – it’s a unique blend of genres. While mostly a 3D, third-person adventure, Indika sometimes switches to 2D pixel art.

Reviewers have highlighted how Indika successfully combines historical fantasy and surrealism while thoughtfully tackling complex questions about life, religion, and existence.

MiniPay, since its late 2023 debut, has processed 350 million transactions and activated over 12.6 million wallets. A triumph of technology, or merely a new guise for old exploitation? The jury is still out.

Shorter, self-contained anime like Bocchi the Rock! work well as a complete package, but longer series such as My Hero Academia and Oshi no Ko benefit from being analyzed arc by arc. This allows fans to identify the truly outstanding story arcs of the past decade. While many arcs have been popular – like the Mugen Train arc from Demon Slayer – they often pale in comparison to the very best arcs in recent anime history.
