I discovered D1AL-OGUE in February after Steam suggested it because I enjoy Cyberpunk 2077, and it’s easy to see why. The game is set in a dark, futuristic city, much like the underbelly of Night City. However, instead of Night City, you’ll explore Chroma City, a place perpetually shrouded in darkness and lit only by commercial neon lights. You play as Chris, who runs a repair clinic in a quiet part of the shopping district, fixing androids called E.V.E.s. Using a tool called D1AL, you’ll solve puzzles to repair their bodies, but you’ll also uncover their personal stories and struggles.

The web series The Pitt has featured familiar faces playing patients and their families, including Mackenzie Astin from Scandal and Amanda Schull from Suits.

Right from the start, The Handmaid’s Tale doesn’t shy away from difficult topics. The show explores issues like the mistreatment of women, unequal power dynamics, and how society can control people – themes that sadly reflect real-life experiences for many. Even with some criticism, it remains one of the most important and timely TV series available.

The animated series based on The Boys, which premiered in March 2022 with eight episodes, featured standalone stories set in the same world as the live-action show, complete with its characteristic violence and edgy humor. While fans hoped for a second season, it seemed unlikely. Last October, Eric Kripke, an executive producer on The Boys, indicated that the show probably wouldn’t return because not enough people watched it.

Daniel Chong recently unveiled an early animation test created during the development of Hoppers.

GKIDS has announced it will distribute the upcoming live-action film Look Back, directed by celebrated Japanese director Hirokazu Kore-eda. Kore-eda is known for directing award-winning films such as Nobody Knows and Shoplifters.

Despite the criticism, several isekai anime are truly excellent and manage to stay consistently good throughout multiple seasons. While high-quality, long-running isekai series aren’t common, the best ones are definitely worth watching from start to finish.
