If you are an ardent fan of Greek mythology and read a plethora of books such as The Song of Achilles, Circe, Percy Jackson Series, and many more, then you surely would have enjoyed watching Netflix’s Blood of Zeus. Even though the series is based on Greek mythology and legends, it is nothing that we don’t know or haven’t read. Despite trying to stand apart from the ancient legends and myths that we are aware of, the show often falters in creating something new.
Heron, the son of Zeus
The show is full of problems, and it is only great when it adds a dark twist to the Greek legends while trying not to stray too far away from the authentic source material. However, it looks like the show is in a tight spot, as the creators, Vlas and Charley Parlapanides, open up about the repetitive aspect of the show.

Kagurabachi, which started serializing in Weekly Shonen Jump in the latter half of 2023, has gained quite the popularity among fans due to its action packed storyline and the revenge filled theme at its center.
In an interview put out on Manga Plus, the manga’s editor Takuro Imamura revealed the inspirations that led author Takeru Hokazono to craft such a story.
Talking about the revenge aspect, Imamura said that Hokazono always aspired to “make a revenge story” and get serialized in Jump. The one shots that he had drawn before also had similar themes.
Simply put, the revenge genre was Hokazono’s favorite, thanks to his love for Western movies, especially those directed by Quentin Tarantino.
These movies, along with the recent John Wick instalments served as an inspiration for the author to craft the unique setting in Kagurabachi manga.

When Donald Cammell's techno-horror "Demon Seed" crept into theaters in 1977, critics were not impressed. From being described as utterly nonsensical to being viciously torn apart as a film with no right to exist, "Demon Seed" was mostly reviled as unwatchable garbage that relied on flagrant shock value to capture audience attention.
Today, the film's critical reappraisal does not quite elevate "Demon Seed" into a cult classic but does approach it with a more balanced lens, where there is some value to be found in its social commentary about technological singularity and the uprooting of female autonomy. Cammell's film is an uncomfortable look into the extent to which those in power wish to control bodily autonomy — a theme that feels especially poignant now. Apart from this, "Demon Seed" also underlines the horrifying extremes of unchecked artificial intelligence, and how it preys on those it perceives as easily exploitable.

Recent reports that have come out pointed out that Solo Leveling Blu-ray volume 2 has bombed miserable in Japan despite its overseas popularity. One week after the release of the Blu-Ray, it has failed to appear on any sales rankings in Japan, falling significantly below expectations.

Solo Leveling Blu-ray vol. 1 had also failed to make it to any sales charts.

He revealed some important information about the Bleach anime series, after which, Shueisha, the Japanese publishing company, was forced to cut an entire part of his interview.
Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War
According to reports, Kubo shared some exclusive details about the captain of the 13th division of the Gotei 13, Jūshirō Ukitake, and his connection to Hell in the Bleach narrative. Although the connection between the two has already been discussed in the manga, Kubo must have revealed something extremely intriguing for Shueisha to take such a step.
The revelation was made by the interviewer, Chiaaki Matsuzawa who was interviewing Kubo for the Krew beInside special show on Jump Comics YouTube channel. She later pointed out that the part about Ukitake and Hell’s Phosphorus...

When the Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War anime was first released in 2022, fans were so impressed by the series and the modifications that it made to the original storyline from Tite Kubo’s manga that the anime series was considered by many to be better than the Bleach manga. This was even admitted by Kubo himself.
Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War
In an interview, Kubo revealed that the Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War anime did a better job of portraying the story and developing the presence of characters compared to the anime. He even pointed out the two characters who were not focused much on in the manga, but the anime did a good job of redeeming them with the help of voice actors.
The two characters in the discussion are Ryūnosuke Yuki and Shino Madarame, who served as the replacement for Zennosuke Kurumadani as the guardian of Karakura Town. Although these characters...

Attack on Titan ended on a great note and wrote its name in the history books as one of the greatest anime to be ever made. After entertaining the fans for a decade and making them experience all kinds of emotions, everyone bid goodbye to Eren Jaeger in a feature-length finale released on November 4, 2023. While the manga ended in 2021, the anime took a couple of years to reach the finale.
Hajime Isayama’s ending was not taken on a great note by the fans, so he had to make a few changes before the release of the finale. Even though it proved to be a massive success, there is one aspect that Hajime Isayama wished he could have changed. It might have been his greatest regret with Attack on Titan.

In 2022, Vinland Saga’s creator Makoto Yukimura did a joint interview with Attack on Titan’s mangaka Hajime Isayama, where they discussed each other’s works. While talking about Vinland Saga and Attack on Titan, Isayama made a big revelation when he talked about his favorite character from Yukimura’s magnum opus.
Still from the end of Season 1 of Vinland Saga
During the interview, Isayama revealed that his favorite character from Vinland Saga was Thorfinn, who is the protagonist of the series. Thorfinn, when introduced, was a small kid who always dreamed of going on an adventure, and when he was able to fulfill this dream, his life took an unexpected and dark turn. The series is based around Thorfinn’s struggle.

Created, written, and drawn by Makoto Yukimura, Vinland Saga is a historical epic and a work of true genius. While many series rely on high-stakes action to become massive names, Yukimura’s manga cements its status by making its readers appreciate the great storytelling and the emotional depth it features. At first glance, the manga will look like an action series, taking place in ancient Scandinavia of the Viking Age, showcasing how a young Thorfinn seeks revenge on a mercenary who killed his father.

However, once knee-deep in the series, the readers will find how the series features the theme of fatherhood, honor, and the consequences of violence. Though it will sound surprising, Yukimura was not exploring one of these themes in his manga, as he recalls how one of the key themes in his series was sheer accident.

Although anime manga might just be a source of entertainment for many people, there are some series that have a deep meaning and value behind them, the Vinland Saga being one. The epicenter of the plot is Thorfinn, who sets out to get revenge for his father but fate has some other plans for him.
Makoto Yukimura does a fantastic job of immersing viewers in the story, which has been ongoing since 2005, with more than 200 chapters already published. However, as all things end, the inevitable cessation is extremely close, with fans scratching their heads at how the story might end.
Thorfinn
If you are deeply in love with Thorfinn, then it might shock you; however, if Makoto Yukimura keeps following history as closely as he has so far, then most likely Thorfinn is going to die at the age of 27, as the inspiration behind him, Thorfinn Karlsefni Thórdarson, also passed...

Anime’s popularity can be attributed to a number of factors, including its diverse genres, unique storytelling methods, and its unique art style. But what makes anime more interesting is how they include raw violence to add an extra layer of intensity and realism to their plot. Nowadays, anime studios are censoring themselves as they are making anime following Western standards.

However, the series, compared to his predecessor, had a few changes that fans might not have noticed. While these changes did not affect the series in any way, they surely brought a new upgrade to the series. One such change was so discreet that even the creator of the series, Kubo, could not notice.
In an interview, Kubo mentioned that the voice of the protagonist, Kurosaki Ichigo, had changed a little, and he was not able to point it out. But his family was quick to grasp it and even mentioned it to him.

Zoro is a legendary character, not only in One Piece but in other anime and manga franchises as well. The daunting swordsman is often the butt of jokes due to his inability to figure out directions. However, that has not stopped him from appearing in other famous works.
Franchises like Haikyu!!, Kagurabachi and more have included Zoro references in their plot, proving that other mangakas are nerds for Eiichiro Oda’s work. But make sure this doesn’t reach the ears of Sanji fans, or the rivalry between the characters might just prove fatal.

His creations like Dragon Ball and Dr. Slump have opened the realm of manga to a global audience that has now fallen in love with the anime and manga industry, making it one of the biggest entertainment artworks of all time.

However, Toriyama revealed in an interview that he did not plan to send the drafts of his magnum opus, Dragon Ball, to Weekly Shonen Jump. Rather, he wanted to send it to Weekly Shonen Magazine at first but, ultimately, was forced to get his work published in Weekly Shonen Jump. Toriyama’s first manga, Dr. Slump, was already a big deal in Weekly Shonen Magazine at the time.

Kaiju No. 8 is finally here for fans to watch after having waited for an extremely long time. Seeing how much care and dedication Naoya Matsumoto has put into the series, it is only fair that the anime should either do justice to the manga or surpass it beyond the fans’ expectations. There have been many shows, movies, and other anime that it has been compared to.

From Attack on Titan to Godzilla, the world of monsters isn’t unique yet it is not too common either. One of the biggest works it gets constantly compared with is Hajime Isayama’s magnum opus. Whether it is about Eren Jaeger’s story being eerily similar to Kafka’s or just the uncanny presence of monsters in general.

We are currently in the midst of an international Kaiju renaissance of sorts. Godzilla Minus One won an Academy Award for its visual effects and was a hit across the globe. Meanwhile, Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire was number one in the American box office for a second week in a row. And though he’s certainly “King of the Monsters,” Godzilla isn’t the only giant creature to get the spotlight. With the release of the Kaiju No. 8 anime, based off the wonderful manga by Naoya Matsumoto, the audience for stories of mysterious gargantuan creatures will grow even wider. But even if they don’t necessarily fit into the Kaiju Eiga (monster movie) subgenre of science fiction, the potency of the Kaiju has been explored in anime over and over again. There is a power to the idea of a mammoth monster with god-like strength, one that often...

There are so many directions that a Spy x Family could pursue. The ongoing anime has a deeply versatile story structure that allows it to indulge in diverse missions so that the series always feels fresh. Accordingly, it’s seriously surprising to see Code: White function as a covert cooking anime movie.
It’s the type of story that audiences would expect to see in a Food Wars! or Toriko feature film, but not Spy x Family. It’s also an ambitious approach to Spy x Family’s first movie that hedges its bets and is too cautious to disrupt the status quo. Code: White is still rich in classic Spy x Family elements, even if it amounts to an empty meal.

The Attack on Titan manga officially ended in 2021, and the anime was also finished last year, so we can say that the series is over. And while Hajime Isayama did leave space for a continuation, it doesn’t seem likely that a sequel to the globally popular series will appear anytime soon. But, this doesn’t mean that there won’t be any more Attack on Titan content, as a special art book titled Attack On Titan Art Book: Fly is set to be released on April 30, 2024. And while this special collector’s edition will certainly be a proper gift for every fan of the series, this is not the most important detail.
