Back in the day, it was pretty common for a manga and its anime adaptation to air at the same time. Sometimes, it would even mean that the anime made many original decisions due to the lack of available chapters. Black Butler, Fruits Basket, Soul Eater, and Fullmetal Alchemist are some popular examples of this phenomenon.

While most of these series originally changed many things from the manga, Fullmetal Alchemist is the only one to bring two different experiences to life, and somehow both make sense in their own way.

While some fans prefer Fullmetal Alchemist, others wouldn’t think twice before crowning Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood as their absolute favorite. Both series have found dedicated fanbases and the ‘which one’s better’ debate has been ongoing since forever. However, when one looks at the fan discussions, it becomes clear that fans...

Square Enix Manga & Books made a handful of announcements at New York Comic-Con over the weekend, including a new English edition of a Soul Eater art book. Soul Eater: Soul Art Encore! celebrates the 20th anniversary of Atsushi Ohkubo's series in October 2025, and you can see what else is on the way from the publisher below. Dragon Quest: The Mark of Erdrick Story by Chiaki Kawamata Art by Kamui Fujiwara September 2025 Synopsis: A stunning rendition of the beloved classic video game series Dragon Quest, published in a collectors’ edition featuring full-color pages! Many years have passed since the legendary hero Erdrick and his companions defeated the forces of evil. But after a century of peace and prosperity, the world is once again under threat. Now Prince Arus, scion of the hero Erdrick, decides to take to the road along with his guardians and friends to counter the rise of darkness!

Dandadan is all the hype and for good reasons too. From its visuals to its storytelling, the series is captivating. Written by Yukinobu Tatsu, the series blends occult and action perfectly. Above all, the manga has been a rage since the end of 2023. It continues to soar in most aspects, especially through its unconventional approach to the shonen genre. But here’s the catch.

Like most mangaka, Tatsu underwent rejection during the serialization. While this may seem the norm in the industry, it highlights a major problem. The issue concerns the attitude as well as the approach of most shonen series. Interestingly, the mangaka’s series is an example of subversion of this pattern.

After the long- anxious wait of four years, Fire Force will return with its third season in Spring 2025. Crunchyroll has announced that the long-awaited final season will be divided into two halves set to release in 2025 and 2026, respectively. With the Season 3 announcement, Fire Force has taken over the internet, leaving fans eagerly anticipating its return.

Crunchyroll released a special trailer along with the desperately anticipated official confirmation. Indeed, the Season 3 announcement has created a huge buzz among the fandom, especially when Season 2 ended at a cliffhanger. Nevertheless, the long four-year delay made fans fear about the prequel’s success and concerned about the Fire Force‘s downfall.

Fire Force’s Four-Year Hiatus Could Risk Losing Its Momentum and Fanbase

Since its first season release in 2019, Fire Force anime was ahead of other titles of its time, offering viewers splendid narrative and terrific action scenes.

Gachiakuta, a brand-new Shonen Jump series, has made the whole manga community hyped up with sheer excitement and anticipation for the anime release. With Studio Bones attached to the anime adaptation, expectations are even higher now.

It is amazing to find out though, that such an author took some serious risks associated with their craft, keeping Gachiakuta on the defense of Atsushi Ohkubo’s Soul Eater series.

This is a very bold move that has taken the hearts of many fans, who are also eagerly waiting to plunge into the world of Gachiakuta and get sucked into its mix of action, adventure, and drama. Now you might wonder, what risks exactly did Urana-sensei take?

Apart from its Gothic style and Burtonesque influences, Soul Eater is one of Atsushi Ohkubo’s popular works. The mangaka’s career spans over 20 years. While most consider this manga as one of his best works, Fire Force isn’t too far behind. Both mangas are similar yet different in most aspects. This holds in terms of its influences and concepts.

While there are differences in power scaling and concepts, both mangas are strikingly similar in one aspect. The author added a tinge of nostalgia in Fire Force by bringing this quirky element to the scene.

French filmmakers Julien Maury and Alexandre Bustillo, the duo behind Inside, Leatherface, and The Deep House, step outside of horror ever so slightly for their latest, The Soul Eater. The adaptation of Alexis Laipsker‘s novel, penned by Annelyse Batrel and Ludovic Lefebvre, dabbles in the supernatural to lend atmosphere and intrigue to a standard investigative thriller. While its procedural elements may feel more rote, at least in an era inundated by crime thrillers, Maury and Bustillo pull from their horror toolkit and plunge into dark subject matter with aplomb.

Nestled in the French mountains is Roquenoir, a sleepy village on the cusp of becoming a full-blown ghost town. Just when it’s on the brink of being forgotten, a grisly murder so ruthless and inexplicable draws the attention of authorities beyond Roquenoir. Commander Elisabeth Guardiano (Virginie Ledoyen) arrives in town on assignment to investigate the murder, coinciding with Captain...

Modern day Horror Masters Alexandre Bustillo & Julien Maury are back at it again with another chilling feature, here to ruin your day and make your skin crawl. Entitled, The Soul Eater, this new venture from France’s most frightening duo investigates the disappearance of a several children and a small forest town’s relation to a disturbing boogeymen legend. In line with Bustillo & Maury’s reputation for Nsfl moments of Horror The Soul Eater is a punch in the gut, and a montage of violent, nightmare imagery filtered through the tropes and traits of a cop procedural.

Alexandre Bustillo & Julien Maury are two of my favorite horror filmmakers working today, always pushing themselves to do something different and show horror fans something they haven’t seen before. Audiences around the world couldn’t look away at the extremity on display in their debut feature Inside (2007) and their particular brand of...

The fourth season of Demon Slayer has just ended – and it didn't quite get the rave reviews it usually does. The entire season felt like one big filler, and the action that fans loved about the title was kept to a minimum.

Young journalist Meryl Stryfe and her experienced partner Roberto De Niro decide to find Vash and find out who he really is.

Jujutsu Kaisen has become a global phenomenon for its awesome anime series. But recently, the anime became known for hosting several copied moves from different anime.

An animator and episode director from season 2 of Jujutsu Kaisen, Itsuki Tsuchigami, has been accused of plagiarism from various anime like Naruto, One Piece, and other anime franchises. A viral clip shows the comparison between Jujutsu Kaisen battle moves and how they seemed almost copied from the original anime.

In the posted clip, Jujutsu Kaisen is shown to have blatantly plagiarized My Hero Academia, Naruto, One Piece, Soul Eater, and more. Since the video shows a comparison between the moves, it is easy to judge that the battle scenes have been conveniently picked up from some of the best series out there.

The One Piece live-action series has been creating a lot of buzz since the release and successful performance of season 1. Season 2 has already been announced, and fans are busy speculating the cast of the new characters.

In the midst of the chaos, popular rapper Megan Thee Stallion posted promotional pictures of her next album while cosplaying as One Piece‘s Boa Hancock. Fans lost their minds, to say the least, resulting in a major jaw-dropping moment and a few misleading posts.

Did Netflix Cast Megan Thee Stallion as Boa Hancock in One Piece Live-Action?

Recently, a rumor began spreading on X and other social media platforms that Megan Thee Stallion has been cast as Boa Hancock in Netflix’s One Piece live-action. However, it is a false rumor which is nothing but misleading.

Suggested“They’re all in love”: Eiichiro Oda on If...

Megan Thee Stallion has once again showcased her love for the anime medium, this time by referencing the popular series Attack On Titan in her latest song ‘Wanna Be’ in collaboration with GloRilla.

‘Wanna Be,’ which was released on April 6, 2024, featured a verse, “I’m the female titan, I’m steppin’ on bitches I’m showin’ my titties, I tore up the city,” which immediately caught the attention of fans and anime enthusiasts alike, who recognized it as a playful nod to the character Annie Leonhart from Attack On Titan, who transforms into the Female Titan.

The annotation accompanying the lyric on Genius.com further explains the connection, noting that the Female Titan is known for wreaking havoc in the city in season 1.

The song has reached no. 1 on US iTunes. It also crossed 1 million views on YouTube in less than 24 hours.

Two detectives with entirely different work methods are sent to the sleepy French mountain town of Roquenoir. One is investigating a series of gruesome deaths. The other is searching for some missing local children. Soon, they realise their cases are connected… by an old folklore legend of a malevolent creature, the terrifying incarnation of the Soul Eater.

The Soul Eater is a suspenseful tale of small-town horror, very much akin to similar films set in abandoned “ghost” towns. The kinds of towns synonymous with closely guarding its secrets and a weariness of outsiders. And here the audience is very much an outsider, learning what’s happening at the same time as the film’s two protagonists – Franck and Elizabeth – which the film is very much mystery-driven.

However, once the...

5 Best Monster Anime of All Time — These Are Not Your Average Creature Features (Picture Credit: IMDb)

Anime is the most hyped form of media in this day and age. While it has been popular for the longest time, newer anime such as “Jujutsu Kaisen,” “Demon Slayer,” “Attack on Titan,” “Spy x Family,” and more have taken its popularity to newer heights.

Although these mainstream anime are a wild ride, with their unique stories, gorgeous art, and endearing characters, some anime go beyond the scope of ‘likeability’ and almost border on ‘insanity.’ Some of the best monster anime in the industry are like that.

Most monster anime in the anime world are psychologically driven shows that are not for every demographic. However, they all possess an allure that many anime fans simply cannot ignore. Here are some of the best monster anime of all time.

Even if you're only passingly familiar with manga and anime, I'd bet that you've heard of "Fullmetal Alchemist," a modern classic of both mediums. First authored by Hiromu Arakawa and adapted to animation twice, all versions follow the titular alchemist, Edward Elric, and his little brother Alphonse. Mutilated when they tried to revive their dead mother, they're now on a quest to get their bodies back by finding the Philosopher's Stone. Along the way, they face obstacles ranging from a military dictatorship to ouroboros-tattooed homunculi.

"Fullmetal Alchemist" is not my all-time favorite manga or anime, but it is my favorite Shōnen series. What is that? A Japanese term referring to boys' media. Think "Dragon Ball," "Naruto," or "One Piece." They all fit under this umbrella.

Many of these series are published by the same magazine, Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump, but not "Fullmetal Alchemist." If you've ever wondered why the...

Thanks to “The X-Files,” millions of people around the globe are terrified of what lies under the bed. They steer clear of sewers at all cost.

"Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba" is a remarkably popular series. The manga of the same name currently has over 150 million copies in circulation, and the television anime adaptation, created by anime juggernauts Ufotable, is listed among IGN's best anime series of all time despite only having premiered in 2019. The show resonates profoundly on multiple levels as it tracks hero Tanjiro Kamado and his quest to vanquish Kibutsuji, the demon responsible for turning his sister, Nezuko, into one of the same.

The conventional shōnen elements are all there. Tanjiro, for his part, is unequivocally good. Yet, the way the show merges familiar elements into something wholly unique and resonant is unmatched. Its most recent season, the "Entertainment District" arc, ended wonderfully, and with a forthcoming third season on the way, fans are likely as eager as ever to find something to mind the gap. Like the best of them, "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba...
