From 2013 to 2018, the acclaimed animation studio WIT Studio brought the first three seasons of Attack on Titan to life. MAPPA then took over for the final season and the movie. Now, two years after the Attack on Titan franchise concluded with the film Attack on Titan: The Last Attack, WIT Studio has announced a new, smaller project and their return to the series.

Over the past ten years, watching other people play tabletop role-playing games (TTRPGs) – often called “actual play” series – has become hugely popular. This trend really took off with shows like Critical Role, which stars well-known voice actors including Matthew Mercer, Travis Willingham, Laura Bailey, and Liam O’Brien. When people were looking for entertainment during the COVID-19 pandemic, actual play series exploded in popularity, and that momentum has continued. Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) even had its own show, Dice, Camera, Action, but it ended in 2020 following a disagreement between two of the players.
People often underestimate Luffy, assuming he’s naive and lacks depth, but he’s actually a very thoughtful character.

As a crypto investor, I’ve been following the news about Kash Patel, and it’s pretty wild. The FBI director is actually suing The Atlantic for $250 million over an article they published. Apparently, Democrats are demanding the director’s resignation because of it. From what I understand, the suit claims the article was a deliberate attack on Patel’s reputation, designed to get him removed from his position. It’s a big legal battle and definitely something to keep an eye on, especially considering the potential impact on public trust and how these things can influence markets – even crypto.
Fans have been waiting a long time, but the next installment in 4A Games’ Metro series, Metro 2039, is coming soon. The game will once again take players into the dark and dangerous tunnels beneath Moscow, filled with mutants and other threats. This sequel promises to be the most intense and frightening Metro game yet. This time, players won’t control Artyom, the series’ long-time hero. Instead, they’ll play as a mysterious character known as the Stranger, fighting against a harsh new government called the Novoreich, led by Hunter – a memorable character originally from Metro 2033. Metro 2039 is returning to the series’ scary, survival-horror origins, and the story is deeply influenced by the real-life experiences of the developers with the Russian invasion of Ukraine. It could be the biggest and most impactful game in the Metro series so far.
As a huge One Piece fan, I’ve been thinking about how Viz Media translated Maki, and it’s interesting! They went with ‘Omen,’ which makes sense if you just look at the words, but it doesn’t quite capture what Maki is in the story. See, ‘Maki’ is the actual Japanese word for this power, and it’s super important because it’s directly linked to Haki. Haki is all about ‘spiritual domination,’ but Maki is more like ‘demonic energy’ – a kind of dark counterpart to Haki. Both words actually share ‘Ki,’ which just means spiritual energy, but that’s where the similarity ends. Haki has a positive vibe, while Maki, with its ‘demonic’ roots, feels like the opposite – a really cool, darker version of the same thing!
