x


While many fans grew up watching the famous 4Kids dub of Shaman King, it was incredibly exciting to see the manga get a second chance at an adaptation in 2021. Now, that remake is about to hit a major story arc the original never got to cover — Mt. Osore Revoir.

The arc covers one of the most emotional moments between Yoh and his oversoul Matamune and will be adapted in episodes 30-33 which are set to begin airing on November 4th. You can check out the new trailer above.

A new visual for the arc was also revealed which can be viewed below.

Hideyuki Tanaka is set to reprise his role from the Shaman King audio drama as Matamune while Hao Asakura will be voiced by Hiroki Nanami.

There is no word yet on when the English dubs of these new Shaman King episodes will hit Netflix.

Watch: Resident Evil: Welcome To Raccoon City Director Says Leon Kennedy Will Be A Nerdy, Reluctant Hero

Survival horror fans who are hoping to get more out of the upcoming Resident Evil: Welcome To Raccoon City movie than the schlocky action flicks of past installments should be relieved to hear the upcoming film will apparently put a good amount of focus on character development this time around.

You check out for yourself how writer and director Johannes Roberts is apparently trying to take his approach to Leon Kennedy back to his roots as he was portrayed in Resident Evil 2 in the above character vignette.

While Leon, played by Avan Jogia, is often seen as an action hero by fans, the character didn’t start out that way, Roberts said. In the origin film, we will get to see Leon’s “journey” from a “nerdy, reluctant hero” to a self-assured, zombie-slaying agent.

“It was really important to cast the actor that could bring Leon Kennedy to life,” Roberts said.

Addressing the issue of some of the actors’ lack of resemblance to their video game counterparts, such as is the case with Jogia’s Leon, Roberts said, “We didn’t want someone that looked identical to the games but had no emotional connection.”

He added that throughout the movie, Leon will become the character that gamers will recognize, e.g., a certified badass.

“The fans are going to be happy with this movie because it’s pulling very much from the games,” said Jogia.

We’ll have to see how it all shakes out when Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City hits theaters Nov. 24.

Ain’t gonna happen. Poor excuse to not cast someone who looks like Leon.

Watch: Netflix Releases First Official Trailer Live-Action Cowboy Bebop

Netflix finally released an official trailer for the upcoming live-action adaptation of the classic anime Cowboy Bebop this week following last week’s lost session teaser and the title sequence that debuted during Netflix’s global fan event #TUDUM last month.

The new trailer, which is available to view above, is the first look at the storylines and episodes the new series will adapt from the classic and critically acclaimed anime. We also get a small look at Spike Spiegel’s storied past alongside a taste of the epic action scenes to come.

Series showrunner Andre Nemec recently said the show will be an expansion of the Cowboy Bebop canon rather than a beat-for-beat adaptation and early images from the series have fans buzzing.

The original Cowboy Bebop anime, which aired in 1998, is widely considered to be one of the best anime of all time and served as an entry point into anime for many Americans at the time. Like the anime before it, the new series will follow the adventures of a crew of bounty hunters including Spike Spiegel (John Cho), Faye Valentine (Daniella Pineda), and Jet Black (Mustafa Shakir).

All episodes of the Cowboy Bebop adaptation are set to begin streaming on Netflix starting Nov. 19.

With the news of an upcoming thriller, Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City, came cautiously optimistic fans. While not everyone has loved the Resident Evil films’ last installments, they can rest assured that those attached to the new movie have been paying attention.

As reported by Deadline, Welcome to Raccoon City gives filmmaker and director Johannes Roberts the chance to “go back to the original first two games.” At the same time, he allows audiences to experience the intense and terrifying reactions he had while playing them for the same time. He also hopes to bring together a story about a dying town that “feels relatable.”

Roberts said this about who Redfield is and what her mission is in this movie; it’s an important one.

Claire Redfield is a runaway from Racoon City. She’s run away because she feels like something is very wrong there and now she’s coming back to tell her brother some very important information.

Scodelario shares her love for Redfield during her character featurette, not just in words but by the look of pride and awe on her face. Fans can tell she truly loves becoming Redfield and being part of the Resident Evil realm.

“Claire is a rounded character, she has her own journey, she isn’t just there to shoot gun. I love how rebellious she is. She’s an absolute badass.”

The official synopsis for the film is as follows:

“Returning to the terrifying roots of the massively popular franchise, fan and filmmaker Johannes Roberts brings the games of the billion-dollar franchise and the most successful video game adaptation in history to life for a whole new generation of fans. Once the booming home of pharmaceutical giant Umbrella Corporation, Raccoon City is now a dying Midwestern town. The company’s exodus left the city a wasteland…with great evil brewing below the surface. When that evil is unleashed, the townspeople are forever…changed…and a small group of survivors must work together to uncover the truth behind Umbrella and make it through the night.”

Fans can see Resident Evil: Welcome to Racoon City in theaters on November 24th, 2021.
