  Feeling the need for some vintage mecha action? Head over to YouTube!   Bandai Spirits has just uploaded two whole series to celebrate the releases of new toy lines and anime series. At the fore is Mashin Hero Wataru ,  which is receiving a continuation this spring.

  Nobita's robotic cat friend from the future is turning 50 according to our clocks—and to celebrate, he's gtting his own clock!   The new Doraemon clock opened in front of DiverCity Tokyo Plaza in Tokyo's Odaiba District. The playfully-designed structure features "boxes" containing images of Doraemon, Nobita, and their friends, with the clock itself at the very top. In a curtained box in the middle lives the Mood-Lifting Orchestra, part of Doraemon's stash of futuristic inventions, which plays the Doraemon  theme song at certain times throughout the day.   You can also see life-sized statues of Doraemon, Nobita, and Shizuka on the clock's platform.     The beloved classic has seen multiple generations through its childhood years with annual films and regularly-running TV series. Also joining the anniversary festivities are 2020's film Nobita's New Dinosaurs  and the recently released Doraemon Story of Seasons  game.   The clock b...

It’s been a year since Red Dead Redemption 2 surprised us all: The maturity, the subtlety, blew us away. We watched as one of the medium’s most multi-layered characters changed from belligerent badass to vulnerable hero (assuming the player guided Arthur toward the good path). What made it so moving wasn’t just the detail given to Arthur but the detail of the world. Join us as we look back at this monumental achievement, highlighting five easy to miss encounters that together encapsulate both Arthur's transformation and its significance.  Mickey Going into the game’s final act, Arthur looks to help people but doesn’t see himself as worthy of that same kindness. He writes:  “I don’t want saving. I don’t deserve it. I just want to help a few folk” Enter Mickey, a war vet in Valentine who Arthur can run into from time to time. Their interactions are utterly mundane. Arthur says almost nothing to the rambling Mickey. He just lends him an ear – allowing Mickey to share h...

In celebration of the Crunchyroll Villain Takeover , we have a slate of features all about our favorite villains! Stay tuned for a whole week about just how fun it is on the dark side of things, and keep an eye out on #VillainTakeover on social for more mayhem!     Manga and anime pioneer Go Nagai changed anime forever with the introduction of super robots, combining robots, transforming superheroines, and more. His heroes were always brash, bold, and larger than life—usually equipped with insanely powerful mecha or weapons. So how do you fight an over-the-top hero? With an over-the-top villain, of course!   Just as Nagai's heroes were on a whole other level, his villains were unlike anything even anime audiences had seen before. From mythical beings to bizarre hybrids, his Rogues' Gallery was an exercise in strange concepts and stranger character designs. Villains like Panther Zora and the Great General of Darkness gave heroes like Cutie Honey and Koji Kabuto a se...
