The first time Goku turned Super Saiyan was a legendary moment in Dragon Ball‘s history. Every pair of eyes that saw the transformation, regardless of age, has the moment stamped in their brain. It turns out that Akira Toriyama had actually muted the transformation from what it could have been.
Turning Super Saiyan made Goku several times as powerful as his natural state, and the mode was triggered by an extreme mix of emotions. Who can forget Frieza’s face when he realized he had the bad luck of facing a legendary Saiyan who emerged once every 1000 years?
In an interview, Toriyama revealed why he decided Goku’s power level during Super Saiyan should not increase too much.

Spider-Man 4 rumors are running wild, but the potential involvement of Steven Spielberg and Christopher Nolan has to be the craziest of them all. The film has already been through a number of plausible directors, but none seem to fit the requirements of either Sony or Marvel. One industry insider took the time to call out the false information about Spider-Man 4 directors, and he debunked the theories about four famous filmmakers.
Some wild speculations are circulating online about the director of the next Spider-Man project after No Way Home
Finding a replacement for Jon Watts, who directed the first three movies, hasn’t been easy. Both Marvel and Sony look to create a phenomenal film that could outperform the box office of Spider-Man: No Way Home. However, their visions for the fourth film are very different.

If you are a One Punch Man fan, then you must be used to fights getting over in just a millisecond as soon as Saitama enters the scene. The protagonist is so overpowered that he is bored most of the time. So the plot is mostly driven by the struggles of the secondary characters in the anime.
One such below-average hero is Mumen Rider (Satoru). While he is merely a C-Ranked hero, he has won over the hearts of every One Punch Man fanatic. In fact, if this were any other shonen anime, he would be the underdog protagonist who believes in the power of justice and friendship.
Well, a fan theory suggests just that, and more outrageously, it’s not Saitama but Mumen Rider, who is the main attraction of One Punch Man.

Tom Holland’s Spider-Man 4 cannot seem to shake off the chaos surrounding its production. Sony and Marvel would love to bring back the web-slinger for a fourth film, as it was Spider-Man: No Way Home that gave their respective last billion-dollar film. However, the film hasn’t locked a director yet, with Jon Watts stepping away from the duties. One of the latest rumors suggested that Sam Raimi, the director of the original Spider-Man film series, will be helming the film.

We have recently reported that the One-Punch Man manga will be getting a live-action movie treatment. This is not a particularly new piece of information, as it has been known that a live-action adaptation is in the works for a while now, but we have gotten some crew updates recently, which confirmed that Rick and Morty writer Dan Harmon and his collaborator Heather Anne Campbell have joined the crew of the upcoming movie as writers, but as it turns out, there is a bigger story there.
Namely, as it turned out, Harmon and Campbell were not hired to simply write the movie; they were, in fact, hired to re-write an already-existing screenplay with which Sony is not satisfied. This doesn’t change much in the long run, but it is a vital piece of information that helps us understand how the pre-production phase is evolving.

One-Punch Man is an online manga written and drawn by One. It has been published on the author’s personal website since June 3, 2009. A manga adaptation drawn by Yūsuke Murata has been published in Shūeisha’s Tonari no Young Jump web magazine since June 14, 2012, and 30 volumes have been released as of the time of writing. An anime series adaptation produced by Madhouse has been airing since October 2015. If you add all of this up, you will understand, quite easily, that One-Punch Man is one of the most popular animanga titles in the world and why the quirky series has so many fans.
Building on this, you’ve probably heard that there are plans for a live-action adaptation of the manga, which isn’t all that surprising seeing how there is a live-adaptation craze currently in the West, mostly helped by Netflix’s more or less successful live-action adaptations, such as One Piece and Avatar.

Two of the best new trends we have seen in anime lately is the emergence of original series, as in not based on manga, with titles like “Bna” and a combination of parodying/homage to the style of titles (or even genres) of the past as in series like “One Punch Man” and “Mob Psycho 100”. “Bang Brave Bang Bravern” manages to combine both, this time functioning as an homage/parody of mecha titles.

Justin Lin is ready to announce his next project, Stakehorse. Is it about a horse made of wooden stakes? Doubtful. Sources say the forthcoming crime thriller is like Ben Affleck’s 2010 banger The Town. The screenplay hails from Justin Piasecki, with a plot revolving around a horse veterinarian who has a side hustle patching up criminals who need medical attention under the table.
After shooting several chapters of the Fast and Furious saga and more, Lin is a clever and creative director with a sleek style all his own. In addition to directing Stakehorse, Lin will produce through his Perfect Storm Entertainment studio with Todd Lieberman and Alex Young of Hidden Pictures. Perfect Storm’s Andrew Schneider and Sal Gatdula will exec produce.

The wait is over, and we’re all buzzing with excitement. The first trailer for ‘One-Punch Man‘ season three has just dropped, thanks to the folks at J.C. Staff. It’s been a long time since we got anything new from ‘One-Punch Man,’ and this trailer is stirring up quite the conversation.
This season puts the spotlight on Garou, the villain ready to challenge his limits. And who better to stop him than Saitama? This showdown is something we’ve been eager to see, especially with Garou’s monstrous strength on full display.
The studio behind this season, J.C. Staff, is the same one that took over from Madhouse after season one. While season two received mixed reviews due to its animation quality, we’re all hoping that season three has upped its game. The animation plays a big part in bringing the action to life, so fingers crossed...

(Welcome to Ani-time Ani-where, a regular column dedicated to helping the uninitiated understand and appreciate the world of anime.)
Fantasy is not a common genre in anime. Though most of the shows premiering each season have fantasy elements, they are mostly isekai that borrow more from JRPGs than literary fantasy and focus more on a power fantasy than an adventure. There are exceptions, of course, like "Ranking of Kings" and the Dungeons & Dragons campaign-turned-anime "Record of Lodoss War."
Now, we have a new anime that fully understands what makes fantasy unique and effective for storytelling. This is the anime fans of "Lord of the Rings" have been waiting for, a fantasy epic unlike any other — "Frieren: Beyond Journey's End."
The premise is simple: the Demon King has been slayed and the party of heroes who defeated him return home. Their 10-year-long adventure meant a significant journey that eternally...

One Punch Man Season 3 leaks are an easy clickbait for the anime fandom right now. With no information available about the studio or the staff who will be working on the third instalment of the series, even the slightest of hint feeds into the fans’ excitement, blowing up into something huge immediately.
A new rumor has similarly gained decent traction in the fandom, and this one suggests that Studio Bones and Mappa will be collaborating to animate One Punch Man Season 3. This information is being circulated with an image featuring Garou and the logos of the two studios.
At first glance, the image definitely fits the mold of a teaser visual. However, upon scrutinizing the information, it was found out that the image was a fan art created by X (formerly Twitter) user @kagetaimatsu.
The visual first was first put out by the kagetaimatsu on Jan 2, 2024, which then got picked...

Ever since the show's Season 2 finale in 2019, the hype surrounding One-Punch Man Season 3 has been high.
One-Punch Man revolves around the story of Saitama, a superhero who can defeat any opponent with a single punch and who grew bored from a lack of challenge.
The 12-episode first season of the anime explored Saitama's frustrations about easily defeating foes (it's an unending cycle). Meanwhile, Season 2 focused on Garou's arrival and Saitama's continued dominance.

Hollywood star Leonardo DiCaprio has now become more than open to making a film based on the Japanese anime film ‘Akira’, which has been a monumental influence on even Hollywood directors, particularly Zack Snyder who has frequently called it one of his favourite films.
The former Dceu director had been wanting to direct an ‘Akira’ live action based movie or series for some time, but currently the project is in development hell, or in other words, rotting in the black void of many scrapped projects.
Hollywood has never been much good doing anime adaptations, and has largely tried to stay away from anime ever since their horribly panned movie ‘Dragonball Evolution’ which was slammed by everyone.
However, since the live action adaptation of the popular anime ‘One Piece’ came out and has become rather successful, Hollywood has been open to doing live action adaptations of popular anime serials, with a...

It was recently announced that the Wizarding World is pivoting away from finishing its mixed bag of a "Harry Potter" prequel saga with "Fantastic Beasts" — which still providing some cool moments that improve on the "Potter" films — to instead retell the exact same tale of the Boy Who Lived (until he became a sacrificial lamb and sent to the slaughter). This news brought with it a lot of mixed reactions, from those who can't fundamentally reconcile their feelings for the franchise and the controversy surrounding its creator, notorious bigot J.K. Rowling, to even those who would like the property to try something new rather than just tell the same story over and over again and never move beyond Hogwarts.
Regardless, there is no denying that the idea of a school but with magic is compelling -- but how to scratch that itch without supporting Rowling or rewatching the exact same story told a second time?...

Justin Lin may be the foremost director of the "Fast and Furious" franchise, but he's taking a break from the Hollywood big leagues for his next film: an indie movie about the misguided missionary John Allen Chau. Before helming half of the entries in one of the most successful blockbuster series in modern times, Lin directed indie movies that centered on the Asian-American communities of Southern California, including the quirky comedy "Shopping for Fangs" and the Sundance Grand Jury Prize-nominated "Better Luck Tomorrow."
Lin directed "Shopping for Fangs" with Quentin Lee when they were both students in UCLA's film school in 1997. The film marks the acting debut of John Cho, who would go on to work with Lin on his follow-up feature, "Better Luck Tomorrow," as well as years later on "Star Trek Beyond." "Better Luck Tomorrow," a drama about an aimless group of Asian-Americans who throw their successes...

Based on the Outside Magazine article of the same name by Alex Perry, The Last Days of John Allen Chau will tell the true story of an American evangelical Christian missionary who believes that he’s been chosen to save the souls of an uncontacted tribe on North Sentinel Island. As outsiders are forbidden, Chau “embarks on a harrowing journey to proselytize the Sentinelese in his desperate search for identity, purpose and belonging.” The script is being penned by Ben Ripley, with production expected to begin this spring.
