Anime is an art form that can be enjoyed without getting overcomplicated: You can feel the energy rush from Dragon Ball without pondering its immense global cultural impact . Naruto is equally good if you consider its profound anti-war message, or you just enjoy some ninja battles. Chainsaw Man is a beautiful character study as much as it is a gore-filled splatter extravaganza. The same can be said about My Hero Academia , one of the best shonen in recent years that delivers the classic action beats of the genre while weaving a deeply moving message into its narrative. source https://www.polygon.com/my-hero-academia-vigilantes-mha-perfect-spinoff/

The wonderful thing about an anthology show is that you don’t have to start at the beginning. You don't need to watch the first season of Netflix's Beef to enjoy season 2 (although season 1 is way better), and you don't need to be caught up on American Horror story if the premise of a new season piques your interest. With a few minor exceptions, you can watch pretty much any episode of The Twilight Zone or Black Mirror without missing a beat. source https://www.polygon.com/season-5-of-fargo-is-a-masterpiece-worth-a-weekend-binge/

When it was time to pass the torch to the next generation, Kishimoto conceived the character of Boruto in 2013 to evoke thematic parallels and differences with Naruto. Boruto has made several appearances in the primary manga, anime, and tie-in theatrical releases, like 2015’s Boruto: Naruto the Movie . When Shueisha approached Kishimoto for a Boruto manga sequel, he recommended his former assistant, Mikio Ikemoto, as the illustrator instead. Ukyō Kodachi, who penned Boruto: Naruto the Movie , took on authorial responsibilities for some time, fleshing out a spin-off saga suited for a younger demographic. The rest is history, as Boruto completes its 10th anniversary this month. source https://www.polygon.com/boruto-naruto-sequel-10-year-anniversary-flawed-legacy/

Phil Lord and Christopher Miller’s Project Hail Mary was a critical and commercial hit. It earned a gushing review from Brandon Sanderson and performed so well in theaters that Amazon MGM gave it an encore IMAX run. Now the feel-good sci-fi movie about reluctant astronaut Ryland Grace (Ryan Gosling) working with an alien to save the Earth is available to watch at home through Amazon, Apple TV, and other VOD platforms. source https://www.polygon.com/project-hail-mary-double-feature-streaming/

Augmented reality imagines a world where the internet no longer exists behind screens, but inhabits the spaces around us like an unseen second reality. It’s a fascinating concept made popular by technology and software, from Apple’s Vision Pro headset and Meta Ray-Ban sunglasses to Pokémon Go and Snapchat filters. But nearly 20 years before any of those existed, Madhouse (the studio behind Death Note , Paprika , and the first season of One-Punch Man ) imagined a world that felt eerily close to our present, where digital and physical spaces converge. source https://www.polygon.com/19-years-later-den-noh-coil-remains-the-first-anime-to-normalize-a-networked-world/

Because the new anime Daemons of the Shadow Realm is based on a manga by Fullmetal Alchemist creator Hiromu Arakawa, you can easily assume it’s going to invest heavily in kinship between siblings, a yellow-haired older brother, and an obtuse but compelling system of magic. What I did not expect, however, was that it would borrow one of M. Night Shyamalan’s greatest twists. source https://www.polygon.com/daemons-of-the-shadow-realm-steals-m-night-shyamalans-best-twist/
