You want a complete list of the Delicious in Dungeon episodes? That I can do. That’s way easier than listing, say, “every canon episode of One Piece.” That’s not an article; it’s an assassination attempt.
Here they are, all of the Delicious in Dungeon episodes. And look! Each one is named after a food! Skeptical? “Orcs” can totally be a food. Just ask the Uruk-hai in Lord of The Rings. That one orc yelled, “Looks like meat’s back on the menu, boys!” and then they literally ate some other orcs alive! I don’t know what’s more shocking: orc cannibalism or the fact that these brutal creatures are familiar with the concepts of “menus” and other aspects about restaurant dining.
As for “Aboveground,” that’s definitely a type of food—food cooked above the Earth’s crust. The Golden Country? A total a region of food like southern food in the United States. “Nightmare”? Dream catchers eat those. “Hags”? Okay maybe not.

Controversies surrounding Star Wars: The Acolyte seem to pop up daily. Well, “controversies” may be the wrong word. There are people who are angry about every little thing the show dares to do, and thus we all have to fight about it on social media for an entire day—rinse and repeat.
These so-called “controversies” stem from things that are not even part of the show, that are from years ago, and things that “fans” are just mad about because when isn’t a certain part of the Star Wars fandom mad about something? With The Acolyte, it has been non-stop to the point where we’re all just fighting every single day about things.
So let’s talk about all of these issues and why none of them are actually real reasons to be mad at the show.
Charlie Barnett misspoke in an interview
One of the first bits of nonsense with this show was people yelling online because Charlie Barnett (who plays Yorde) meant to say Luke Skywalker but said Anakin by mistake—an honest mistake, but instead, these “fans”—who were already looking for any reason to hate the show because it dared to feature characters other than white men—acted like we saw Barnett murder someone right in front of us. He made a mistake and said Anakin blew up the Death Star.
Oh no how DARE HE. People in this world are dying, but yes, this is the worst thing a person can do. There are MULTIPLE TikTok videos floating around, all blaming Barnett for not knowing, and even insinuating he needed to go to Star Wars training to learn things. No, he doesn’t. He’s an actor hired to do an acting job, and he’s doing just that. Star Wars icon Harrison Ford often made fun of this franchise, so where was the outrage there?
Amandla Stenberg said something to Trevor Noah in 2018
The Hate U Give is a movie about a young Black girl who watches her childhood friend getting killed by the police. Stenberg played a character named Starr, and she had to find where she could use her voice to fight back against police brutality. So during the promotion for that movie, Stenberg said white people “crying was actually the goal.”
You know these “fans” took that to mean that they were talking about The Acolyte without doing any kind of research into what was going on. Don’t worry, though. Stenberg posted a video mocking those “fans” who used the 2018 interview to somehow fuel Star Wars discourse.
Saying that the Jedi aren’t great, which … they aren’t!
A big “complaint” has been that the series paints the Jedi as the bad guys. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the Jedi aren’t great. The series isn’t calling them villains, but it is pointing out the folly of the Jedi and their lack of understanding of how the rest of the galaxy works.
Review bombing is so ridiculous
Trolls love to review-bomb something and then claim it is not a “review bomb,” just an attempt to show the world what “fans” think. They get their little cronies to do it all together, and the rest of us (with lives) can’t be bothered to deal with them (or their bots). This time around, they also review bombed a movie called Acolytes from 2008 that had nothing to do with this.
This Jedi Master Ki-Adi-Mundi nonsense
So, Jedi Master Ki-Adi-Mundi was in The Acolyte, and now World War III has erupted. Mundi, who first appeared in The Phantom Menace, used to kind of have a birthday. First from a CD-ROM that even Star Wars creator George Lucas didn’t see as canon, and then from a playing card that was also deemed non-canon. So we didn’t actually know his birthday in the canon sense anyway, but that’s not stopping the haters.
The confirmation that he was alive at the time of The Acolyte gave us some new information, so Wookieepedia updated their site. It has unleashed hell on earth. Even a writer from The Acolytehas explained how it makes sense, but the anti-Acolyte faction is SCREAMING instead of hearing any kind of reason.
Now they found some random supposed Disney employee
The latest incident is a video of Michael Giordano, reportedly a vice president of business affairs at Disney, who was talking about the company’s hiring practices. “Nobody else is going to tell you this, but they’re not considering any white males for the job,” said Giordano, “there’s no way we’re hiring a white male.” That’s hilarious given the casting of Galactus, Johnny Storm, and Ben Grimm in Fantastic Four!
Even weirder since Dean-Charles Chapman is in the very same Star Wars show they’re all complaining about. But while looking into it, I saw Giordano listed nowhere in connection to Disney. I searched databases, I went onto wiki pages, and tried to search everywhere for more information, but the only things I could find were this video and those sources, so take that with the biggest grain of salt imaginable.
I’m sure we’ll have more “controversies” to add to the list soon!

Viewers eager for more of Emily in Paris‘ charm can rest assured that season 4 is officially on its way. In fact, season 4 has been on Netflix’s roster for quite some time after the streamer simultaneously renewed the show for its third and fourth seasons in January 2022.
Emily in Paris first arrived in 2020 and quickly garnered attention for offering such cozy and charming entertainment. The lighthearted rom-com follows Emily Cooper (Lily Collins), a young marketing professional who abruptly leaves her life in Chicago behind to move to Paris for a temporary job assignment. Viewers get to follow along as she experiences a bit of cultural shock, but slowly starts building a life in Paris and forming new friendships and relationships. While the depiction of Paris and its inhabitants is a bit cliché, Emily in Paris isn’t the kind of show meant to be taken too seriously. It’s intended to satisfy viewers’ fantasies of finding romance in the City of Love and can still be appreciated for its entertainment value.
For viewers who are anxious for another trip to Paris through the eyes of Emily, here’s what we know about Emily in Paris season 4 so far.
Emily in Paris season 4 sets release date after delays
(Netflix)
Recently, Netflix announced the release dates for Emily in Paris season 4, which will drop in two parts, each consisting of five episodes. Emily in Paris season 4 part 1 drops on August 15, while part 2 arrives just shy of a month later on September 12.
The news is quite exciting, considering the show faced delays due to the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Since its premiere, a new season was released every year, usually in December. However, 2023 marked the first year with no new Emily in Paris season. The series was supposed to begin filming in early 2023, but it was one of the productions impacted by the labor strikes due to studios refusing to compensate their workers adequately.
Fortunately, filming finally began in January 2024 and quickly wrapped by May, allowing Netflix to set a release date for Emily in Paris season 4 earlier than expected.
Emily in Paris may be turning into Emily in Italy for season 4
(Netflix)
Before production on Emily in Paris season 4 shut down, Collins and Netflix had begun teasing what the season’s story would be. As mentioned above, season 3 ended on a major cliffhanger, during which Emily went through a breakup with Alfie (Lucien Laviscount) and simultaneously learned that Gabriel (Lucas Bravo), the man she struggled to bury her feelings for, also broke up with his girlfriend, Camille (Camille Razat). However, Gabriel also shocks Emily by revealing Camille is pregnant. Collins teases that the series will pick up right where it left off and answer viewers’ most pressing questions about what will happen between Emily and Gabriel and if Alfie will get over his heartbreak.
The most exciting tease is when Collins mentions that Emily might go on a “Roman holiday,” though her heart will always be in Paris. Meanwhile, Tudum confirmed that Emily in Paris season 4 will take viewers to Italy. It’s unclear how much of the series will be filmed in Italy, but it will mark the first time the show has traveled outside France.
Collins’ announcement also confirms that much of the main cast will return. Of course, she will be returning to play the titular role of Emily. Bravo will also need to return, as it seems season 4 will focus on whether he and Emily can make a relationship work. Although Laviscount’s Alfie is no longer Emily’s love interest, his story may continue in the new season. Razat will also be back as Camille, as the season will explore her pregnancy and the end of her engagement to Gabriel. Melia Kreiling has also been teased to return as Sofia Sideris, a Greek artist with whom Camille had an affair.
Collins also teases Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu’s return as Sylvie, Emily’s boss, and hints that season 4 will further explore her love life. Since William Abadie has portrayed Sylvie’s long-time secret lover, Antoine Lambert, he may return for season 4, too. Ashley Park is additionally expected to return as Mindy Chen, Emily’s best friend, who is hoping to make it to Eurovision with her band. Series regulars Samuel Arnold and Bruno Gouery are likely to return as Julien and Luc, respectively.
With most of the cast returning and teases of travel, heartbreak, and romance, Emily in Paris season 4 will keep up its travelogue and rom-com charm.

We couldn’t deal with half the things Kazuma experiences on a daily basis in KonoSuba season three. Imagine being given a second chance at life only to be forced on a hero’s journey.
That’s pretty average stuff, but instead of succumbing to that, Kazuma does everything in his power to avoid it. Whenever he tries to help, things seem to get worse for his friends. Kazuma tried to help Dust save Rin from a supposedly weird noble. Kazuma and Dust thought that taking pictures in women’s underwear would distract the noble and traumatize him.
Except it was all a huge misunderstanding, and the noble apparently likes Dust. I’ll leave everything else to your imagination. We’re in for more comedic chaos in KonoSuba season three, episode 10, on June 12, 2024.
Never watch KonoSuba without headphones
If you’re watching the last two episodes of KonoSuba, don’t forget to put headphones on if there are people around you. So many things can be taken out of context in KonoSuba, and you might get weird stares when you watch this on the subway.
Unlike other isekai shows, KonoSuba actively parodies the most absurd tropes known in the genre. Kazuma is just a simple guy who can’t be bothered to work. He’s so dedicated to living a hassle-free life that he’s practically avoiding all of Lalatina’s advances. Luckily for him this time, Lalatina’s not exactly looking to be saved or to run away. She obviously crushes on Kazuma, but she isn’t going to use him as an excuse to abandon her duties as a noblewoman.

American political drama Madam Secretary had a successful run on CBS for six seasons, spanning from September 2014 to December 2019. All seasons of the show were available to stream on Netflix—until recently.
A user of the streaming service pointed out on June 5, on Reddit, that the series had “disappeared” from the streamer. Other users also raised concerns while expressing annoyance at the fact they were robbed of their comfortable nightly watch without notice.
After a conversation with the Netflix support staff, it was revealed that the show not being available on the streamer was a “global issue,” and the title would be back on the website within 48–72 hours. Multiple users on the same Reddit thread did mention getting the show back, and it does look like Madam Secretary is available to stream on Netflix again after this anomaly, at least in certain regions.
One of the biggest indicators when Netflix is about to remove a show from the playlist is the “leaving soon” icon that appears next to a title. That wasn’t the case with Madam Secretary, which is expected to be a part of the streamer’s catalog until May 15, 2025. There have been suggestions about a potential streaming rights dispute between Netflix and CBS, but there are no concrete reports to support that claim.
A similar incident was observed on Hulu last month, when users were unable to access all five Twilight movies on the streaming platform. In this scenario, it was most likely a licensing issue that led to Hulu removing the films, considering it was the start of a new month (May).
Fans of Madam Secretary who are still not able to access the show in the United States, on Netflix, can turn to Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, Fandango at Home, or Google Play Movies instead. However, it is important to note that a subscription might not be enough, as some streaming websites require additional purchases.

Denji’s goal since the beginning of the series was to have intimate physical contact with a woman, not because he is a sex-depraved womanizer, but because he seeks intimacy and connection and sees the act of physical intimacy as being able to offer him comfort. Chainsaw Man‘s creator, Tatsuki Fujimoto has put his titular character through the wringer, with trauma compounding trauma as poor Denji has suffered at the hands of people who should have loved and cared for him.
Now he has the confusion of dealing with Asa and Yoru, two people inhabiting the same body (though Denji doesn’t realize this). Much like a Jekyll and Hyde situation, one treats him well and has a romantic connection with him (Asa) while the other bullies and beats him down (Yoru). The names of this character, or characters, are also interesting as Asa in Japanese means “morning” and Yoru means “night,” a play somewhat on the expression “as different as night and day.” In chapter 166, Denji is struggling with his sexual drive, prompting Yoru to offer to “cut it off.”
(Tatsuki Fujimoto / Shounen Jump)
That does not happen, and instead in chapter 167, we see a rather uncomfortable sexual interaction between Yoru and Denji, with the latter initially looking shocked and confused by what’s happening prompting the audience to wonder if consent is really given here. Fujimoto’s use of the two characters in one is used masterfully here, as after the deed is done, Asa comes to the front and is horrified at what’s happened and the mess that Yoru has left behind.
When is chapter 168 coming out?
The next chapter will deal with the fallout of the last explosive chapter. With all the trauma Denji has gone through, this may push him over the edge, or at least have lasting consequences throughout the rest of the series. Chapter 168 will likely deal with the initial reactions of Asa and Denji and how the two will navigate this experience.
The chapter is expected to be released on June 11 at 11 AM (ET) or 8 AM (PT) and will be available to read on Viz and Mangaplus.

Shounen manga are typically center themselves around teenage male protagonists, but that’s not a hard-and-fast rule. Kaiju No. 8‘s Kafka, for example, is 32 years old. Hugely popular series like Gintama,Cowboy Bebop,One-Punch Man, and Sakamoto Days feature protagonists in their 20s. So a shounen hero doesn’t necessarily have to be 16 or 18.
Enter Denji, the protagonist of Chainsaw Man. When we first meet him, he’s living a life completely devoid of the usual age markers. He’s forced to work off his father’s debt to the yakuza, seemingly never having had the luxury to attend school. Denji quickly gets recruited into becoming a Devil Hunter, which gives him a government-sanctioned job, complete with white-collared shirt and tie. The uniform makes Denji look less like an immature teenager and more like a (still highly immature) adult.

Tanjiro has begun the much-talked-about Hashira training! Demon Slayer season 4 has given what many fans have waited for so long: the Hashiras finally having longer screentime, and we’ll see more when episode 4 arrives!
And he may no longer be a Hashira, but Tengen’s skills and experience are still vital in molding the demon slayer as seen in episode 3. But it is not only him with whom Tanjiro will train since the fourth episode of the Demon Slayer season 4 will center on another Hashira!
Demon Slayer season 4, also known as the Hashira Training Arc, is probably the shortest anime season. The heavily popular shonen anime series has kept fans on their toes since the season premiered on May 12, 2024. Since its release, Demon Slayer season 4 quickly dominated charts and trended online.
Demon Slayer season 4 episode 4 will released on June 02, 2024 at 10:45AM PT/1:24PM ET. The new episode can be streamed on Crunchyroll, as well as on other streaming platforms such as Netflix.
The new season of the shonen anime has consistently maintained its frequently praised qualities, mainly its animation. However, this is not the only reason why fans are loving it! Season 4 revolves around the preparation of Tanjiro and the rest of their allies in coming against Muzan Kibutsuji and his demons, who are more determined than ever to capture Nezuko. This preparation is a training organized and led by the Hashiras. And with the release of episode 3 last week, we have finally seen how this training works!
The Hashira training is like a step-by-step procedure, where demon slayers like Tanjiro must take individual training with a certain Hashira. Episode 3 revolves around Tengen helping Tanjiro and the rest of the demon slayers ensure they are physically fit and strengthen their stamina for the next training, which Tanjiro is expected to undergo in the upcoming episode.
Episode 3 shared glimpses of Tanjiro and Giyu Tomioka’s moment from episode 2, and Tanjiro even had a quick conversation with Tengen’s wives. In addition, more anime-only scenes were featured, for instance, Wind Hashira and Serpent Hashira discussing the Infinity Castle they saw and suspecting it as the demon’s secret base. However, it was at the end of the previous episode that had fans on the edge of their seats, thanks to the Mist Hashira’s training.
Like Tengen, Tanjiro already has a history with the Mist Hashira after defeating two upper-rank demons in the Swordsmith Village. Tokito’s high speed has been incredibly shown in season 3, and I’m excited to see how he will teach this to Tanjiro, especially with his poker face and his personality that is completely opposite to Tengen. Nevertheless, I know the episode will be good, especially since more anime-original scenes are expected to fill out the rest of season 4.

Remember Disney announcing a Moana TV series back in 2020? The bad news: We’re not getting that anymore. The good news: It’s been retooled into an entire feature-length movie!
“We were impressed by what we saw and knew it deserved a theatrical release,” Disney CEO Bob Iger said yesterday. So what can we expect from this surprise sequel?
What is the plot of Moana 2?
The official synopsis released by Disney goes as follows: “After receiving an unexpected call from her wayfinding ancestors, Moana must journey to the far seas of Oceania and into dangerous, long-lost waters for an adventure unlike anything she’s ever faced.” Everything else about the plot is being kept under wraps for now.
Who’s in the cast for Moana 2?
It was clear from the beginning that Dwayne Johnson was returning to voice Maui, especially since he tweeted the teaser after it debuted. Cravalho was more of a question mark. But on February 27 Deadline dropped the news that the 23-year-old actress, most recently seen in the musical version of Mean Girls, would be “definitely returning” to her breakout role.
However, Cravalho won’t return for the live-action version of Moana set to release in 2025. She said in an Instagram statement last year, “I am truly honored to pass this baton to the next young woman of Pacific Island descent to honor our incredible Pacific peoples, cultures, and communities that helped inspire her story, and I look forward to all the beautiful Pacific representation to come.”
Cravalho will also be an executive producer on the live-action film and who knows, perhaps she’ll return for a Moana 3 if there ever is one! It’s clearly a franchise very dear to her heart.
As for other characters appearing in this new movie … If you take a close look at the first officially released promo image (see above), you’ll notice that Heihei the chicken is there, so perhaps Alan Tudyk is coming back to voice him. There are also three new characters in the image, on the boat with Maui and Moana, but we don’t yet know who they are or who will play them.
And sorry, Lin-Manuel Miranda fans, but he won’t be doing songwriting duties for Moana 2. Instead, Grammy Award winners Abigail Barlow and Emily Bear will be writing the songs. However, Opetaia Foa’i and Mark Mancina, who did the music for the original movie, will be back.
As for directing, that job will go to Dave Derrick Jr., who worked in the art department for the original Moana.
Is there a trailer for Moana 2?
Before the trailer debuted, Disney released a little teaser where we got a glimpse of Moana on a beautiful island. It’s still available if you want to give it a look. But the full thing dropped on May 29:
The teaser trailer gives us some dialogue from Moana about how she seeks to “reconnect our people across the entire ocean,” and an appearance from Maui where he suggests eating cute chicken and pig duo Hei Hei and Pua. Don’t do it!
What’s the poster for Moana 2?
The official teaser poster for Moana 2 was released on May 28. It features the same shot that was in the teaser trailer, Moana on the island, and in front of her on the pristine yellow sands her oar and Maui’s hook form a “2.”
What’s the release date for Moana 2?
We’re getting Moana 2 much sooner than anyone expected! It’ll be out this year, November 27. The weather will much colder at that point so you’ll be able to appreciate the sunny, sandy beaches all the more.

One-Punch Man‘s anime has effectively seemed dormant since its second season aired five years ago. With all this newfound activity and hype, it makes sense that you’d want to revisit the series. It’s been a hot second since you’ve been entertained by the tale of Saitama, Tokyo’s most absurdly overpowered hero.
So you log onto Crunchyroll, which has far more anime series than any other streamer in North America. Surely, they must have One-Punch Man. And yet, when you search for it … it’s not there.
It feels like a bizarre glitch. You even vaguely remember watching One-Punch Man on Crunchyroll before. Why isn’t it there? When did this happen? And if you can’t watch One-Punch Man on Crunchyroll, where can you find it?
A hypothesis for One-Punch Man‘s disappearance from Crunchyroll
In this increasingly dystopian streaming landscape we are forced to inhabit, series come and go from services all the time. Sometimes, they were licensed to exist by that very service, and their removal means that they become dead media, since their licensor won’t agree to release a freaking Blu-Ray or something. That’s the worst-case scenario.
Fortunately, that’s not the case with Crunchyroll and One-Punch Man. This seems to simply be the more common phenomenon of a streamer’s license to a show on their platform expiring. When that license expires, the show is taken off the platform.
But, confusingly, the license may not expire in every market in which the streamer exists. Crunchyroll still has the license to One-Punch Man in France and the U.K., for example. That’s probably why the page for One-Punch Man still technically exists for Crunchyroll users in the U.S.A. and Canada. It’s just devoid of episodes.
The One-Punch Man scenario seems tied to a bunch of VIZ shows leaving Crunchyroll about a year ago. This exodus wasn’t announced; it just kind of happened. Other prominent licenses lost around the same time include Inuyasha, several Naruto and Naruto Shippuden films, and K.
The possibly good news is that there’s exactly one place where North Americans can still watch One-Punch Man: Hulu. If you don’t subscribe to Hulu … that’s definitely bad news.

Don’t be fooled by the stunning environment of Enotria: The Last Song. It may not look as foreboding as many other soulslike games, but it takes place in a place in a world that has become a stage for an endless play.
Ever since the world has been struck by ‘canovaccio,’ the people of Enotria have been stuck on a perpetual script. Even death would be preferable to stasis, but it seems that canovaccio prevents people from dying.
Anyone who has ever participated in theater knows that it’s torture to have too many show dates. You can even say that the people of Enotria are just actors playing on encore. But as bad as this all is, something tells me that we’re also going to be stuck playing Enotria: The Last Song for hours on end.
Enotria: The Last Song will officially be released on September 19, 2024. While waiting for the game’s release, you can play the demo on Steam and PS5.
A Sunny But Eerie Environment
A theater in stasis
The game borrows largely from Italian folklore and theater traditions. If you’ve read or watched performances of the Commedia dell’arte, then you’ll find many characters and concepts in the game familiar. Even Pulcinella, your creator, is one of the many mascheras from the Commedia dell’arte.
In a world with a demented script, you, the Maskless, are the only one who has no assigned role. As the Maskless, you are unaffected by the same script that others are forced to follow. It is your quest to bring change to the world, one improv at a time.

As long as the seven members of the PAW Patrol save Adventure Bay from disaster, kids will love the animated series of the same name. Children can enjoy their favorite rescue crew of pups when they’re on the go with the latest PAW Patrol kids’ Crocs. Here’s the scoop!
Before the current PAW Patrol Crocs
(Crocs)
There have been a few different styles of PAW Patrol kids’ Crocs over the last couple of years. These include a variety of large character portraits of the six pups in our crew: Chase, Rocky, Rubble, Skye, Marshall, and Zuma. The former gray and pink toddler Croc styles are still popular but can only be found secondhand or from vendors who bought inventory when Crocs still carried these versions. Good reviews abound on Amazon, where users say that kids love the Crocs and they are true to size. But Crocs wasn’t satisfied with the design, so they recently released a brand new PAW Patrol style!
The latest PAW Patrol Crocs
(Crocs)
The latest PAW Patrol Off-Court Clogs by Crocs are a step above the old design. They come in one dashing style that features the entire PAW Patrol crew and their pup emblems. The repeat pattern has all six of the pups leaping around ready for action, between paw prints that look like polka dots. No, they don’t have different colors besides these brand new, bright blue kids’ Crocs with a white sole. But that’s just fine, because the sole is a special border with raised pictures of each crew member beside their pup emblem, the one that matches their vehicle and collar tag. No kid will be disappointed with these PAW Patrol Crocs because every member of the patrol is included. Their favorite pup is sure to be here.
Where can I buy PAW Patrol Crocs?
(Crocs)
Now that you know your little one would be delighted to stomp around in these new PAW Patrol Off-Court Clogs and add Jibbitz to their hearts’ content, where can you find them? Older styles are usually available on Amazon, but it can be a gamble. There are many stores that carry the latest style with the unisex bright blue and the raised character illustrated sole, with guaranteed stock available. Here’s a list of just a few:
And of course, the all-important question: How much is it going to cost to get a pair of these exclusive new PAW Patrol Off-Court Clogs for kids? Most stores are pricing this pair of Crocs at $50, though some shave a few pennies off and have them available for $49.95.

It’s always a good time to get into Haikyuu!! But now is an especially good time, since Haikyuu!! THE MOVIE: Decisive Battle At The Garbage Dump coming out May 31, 2024.
The film covers a canonical arc towards the back-end of the manga series, so you’ll definitely enjoy yourself more if you have a sense of the characters and the Story So Far.
What’s more, Haikyuu!! is absolutely worth your time. It’s heartbreakingly sincere, which makes it incredibly special. These boys are simply just trying their best at volleyball and life. Even with a disillusioned character like Tsukishima, there’s no cynicism for miles. Any showboating or machismo feels put there as a representation of what some athletes are just like. You want to root for all of them, even though they’re on opposing teams, which means someone is getting their dreams crushed.
This honest exploration of loss is a key part of what makes Haikyuu!! feel so genuine and emotionally honest. Like I said, it’s special. Which helps explain why, in Japan, it’s everywhere. Decisive Battle At The Garbage Dump was the fourth-biggest opening weekend in Japanese box office history.
Now that I’ve hopefully convinced you to watch (or, honestly, read) Haikyuu!!, you probably want to know where to start. For the manga, simply subscribe to the Shounen Jump app, and you’re on your way. If you’re an anime sub person, simply log into Crunchyroll or Netflix, and you, too, are on your way.
But if you want English dubs, I unfortunately have some bad news for you.
The case of the missing Haikyuu!! dubs
First of all, know that an English dub of Haikyuu!! does indeed exist. Sentai Filmworks made one ages ago. The issue is that, as of May 2024, there’s nowhere you can watch it. For years, it was on HIDIVE, but Haikyuu!! vanished completely from that service.
You can currently stream Haikyuu!! on Crunchyroll and Netflix (and Amazon Prime, but only the fourth season, and it’s via Crunchyroll anyway). But Netflix only has the original Japanese audio. Crunchyroll offers a Spanish and Portuguese dub for the show’s first two seasons, but only has the Japanese original for the third and fourth. In any case, the English dub is nowhere to be found.
Fans have been asking Crunchyroll for the English dub—it’s currently the top comment on Haikyuu!!‘s Crunchyroll page. Haikyuu!! THE MOVIE: Decisive Battle At The Garbage Dump will have a dubbed version upon its US release.
So no, you cannot watch the Haikyuu!! dubs on Crunchyroll right now. But they have to be somewhere, right?

Furiosa has landed! The latest installment in the Mad Max series revisits some unforgettable characters, like Immortan Joe’s sons: Scabrous Scrotus, Corpus Colossus, and Rictus Erectus. Those are their actual names! Isn’t Mad Max great?
So who are these fine young fellows? Let’s focus on the youngest of Immortan Joe’s adult sons, Rictus Erectus (Nathan Jones).
Warning: this article contains spoilers for Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga.
Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga is a prequel to Mad Max: Fury Road, focusing on the abduction and early years of Furiosa (Anya Taylor-Joy). As Furiosa grows up in the Wasteland, she’s buffeted between the feuding warlords Immortan Joe (Lachy Hulme) and Dementus (Chris Hemsworth).
Rictus Erectus is identifiable in Furiosa and Mad Max: Fury Road by his imposing height and shaved head. He’s also the least smart of Joe’s sons. In Fury Road, his main duty is chasing down Furiosa and Joe’s stolen war rig in order to get his father’s wives back. One of those wives is pregnant, and Rictus is devastated when, dying, she delivers a stillborn baby boy.
Rictus Erectus isn’t a nice guy in Fury Road. In Furiosa, though, he reveals a newer, more revolting side of his character.
In Furiosa, Furiosa is taken to Immortan Joe’s citadel as a child, where she lives at first among Joe’s wives. Furiosa doesn’t even have time to worry about the day when Joe himself will inevitably start using her as a breeder. Rictus takes a liking to her first. Knowing he’s going to come after her, Furiosa shaves her head and turns her hair into a wig. When Rictus takes her and starts to play with the bells in her hair, she uses the wig to slip out of his grasp and run away. From then on, she disguises herself as a mute boy, and grows up as a mechanic in Joe’s empire.
As for Rictus? He eventually gets his comeuppance in Fury Road, going out in a blaze of glory, when Furiosa (Charlize Theron), Max (Tom Hardy), and the war boy Nux (Nicholas Hoult) defeat Joe’s forces once and for all.

Season 3 of Bridgerton is currently the #1 show on Netflix, and with good reason! The latest installment of the beloved romance series has all the drama and plot twists that made seasons 1 and 2 so addicting. So how many seasons can we expect total?
Bridgerton, for the uninitiated, follows the exploits of the Bridgerton family, an aristocratic clan in England’s regency period. As each Bridgerton sibling makes their debut in London society, they go on the marriage market and seek out the most rarest of gifts: a love match with a worthy suitor.
Season 1 of Bridgerton focuses on Daphne (Phoebe Dynevor), the eldest Bridgerton sister. In season 1, Daphne hatches a plan with the reclusive Simon Bassett (Regé-Jean Page), who is determined to end his family line by not marrying. However, Daphne and Simon’s plan backfires, and they genuinely fall in love with each other.
Season 2 switches gears to Daphne’s brother Anthony (Jonathan Bailey), who becomes embroiled in a love triangle with Kate Sharma (Simone Ashley) and her sister Edwina (Charithra Chandran). However, other romances percolate in the background, including Eloise Bridgerton’s (Claudia Jessie) sudden crush on a printer’s apprentice, and Colin Bridgerton’s (Luke Newton) fraught relationship with Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan).
Now, in season 3, Penelope and Colin’s relationship is in the spotlight—and younger Bridgerton sibling Francesca (Hannah Dodd) is meeting suitors of her own.
So how many seasons will there be in total?
In the original novels by Julia Quinn, there are eight Bridgerton siblings and eight books. So far, Netflix seems on board to match that number with eight seasons, although so far, the show has only been renewed through season 4.
But the people behind the show are hopeful that eight seasons will happen. Series creator Shonda Rhimes recently told Variety that she’s pushing for eight seasons. “I’ll be a granny gumming my food,” she says, “but we want to make sure that there’s ‘Bridgerton’ for all of us who love it.”
Even back in 2020, executive producer and former showrunner Chris Van Dusen told Collider, “I feel like the first season was primarily about Daphne and her love story with Simon. But, this being a family of eight children and there being eight books, I would love to be able to focus and really tell stories and love stories for all the Bridgerton siblings. For each character, for sure.”
Will Rhimes and Van Dusen get their wish? Here’s hoping.

A new Downton Abbey movie is on its way! Does that mean it’s time for a rewatch of the previous Downton Abbey movies? If so, here’s your watch order.
If you’re just interested in the movies, then you don’t have too much homework. Before the upcoming Downton Abbey movie, there have only been two previous films.
However, if you dive right into the first Downton Abbey movie, you may be in for a rude awakening, since it picks up where the TV show left off. The Downton Abbey TV series ran for six seasons from 2010 to 2025, and had a total of 52 episodes. Although the quality of the series can get a little spotty at times, with ham-fisted storylines and recycled ideas, there are some pretty incredible highlights during the show’s run. Plus, the series introduces audiences to the main characters in the films. The show is definitely worth a watch, if you’re familiarizing yourself with the world of Downton Abbey.
What is Downton Abbey about?
Downton Abbey follows the exploits of the people who live in an English estate at the turn of the 20th century. The show and films follow the Crawleys, the aristocratic owners of the estate, as they deal with issues like marriage proposals and a volatile economy. Meanwhile, the Crawleys’ staff, consisting of maids, manservants, cooks, a butler, and other service professionals, form close-knit relationships with each other and strike out on their own in searches for prosperity and fulfillment. Both storylines—the family and the servants—are equally engrossing.
If you’re down with the premise and you’ve seen at least some of the original series, here are the Downton Abbey films in order!
Downton Abbey (2018)
(ITV)
Downton Abbey, which came out after the TV series concluded, picks up where the show left off with the Crawleys preparing for a visit from the Queen.
Downton Abbey: A New Era (2022)
Downton Abbey: A New Era takes place in 1927, at the dawn of the film era. A production crew comes to the estate to use it as a setting for a silent movie.
Downton Abbey 3 (forthcoming)
(Focus Features)
We don’t know the plot of Downton Abbey 3 yet. However, we do know that Paul Giamatti will be reprising the role of Cora’s brother Harold, the American playboy. Looks like drama is afoot!

Drawing inspiration from people and happenings in the real world is normal for any author. After watching Anne Hathway’s new romantic comedy movieThe Idea of You, fans could not help but parallel the main character, Hayes Campbell, to real-life British singer Harry Styles. So, is it a story inspired by Harry?
Videos centering on theories around Harry Styles and The Idea of You‘s Hayes Campbell have been all over the internet. But is The Idea of You a Harry Styles fan-fiction come to life? Well, the answer to that is partly yes and no, and here’s why!
Hayes Campbell (Nicholas Galitzine) is a member of a sensational boy band called August Moon. While there are several boy bands out there aside from One Direction, which Harry Styles was once part of, fans were determined to connect Hayes to Harry. For fans of Harry, it seems like every bit of Hayes’ character mirrors Styles’ real-life gestures and history.
A Harry Styles fan generously connected all the dots between Hayes’ character and Harry Styles, which already garnered thousands of views:
To summarize, aside from coming from a boy band deeply (and sometimes obsessively) loved by teenagers and teenagers at heart, Hayes Campbell is also British and has tattooed arms, which is similar to Styles. Also, after realizing his true passion, Hayes pursued a career as a solo artist just like Styles. Lastly, Styles’ experience dating older women is considered to be the backbone of all these speculations.
Styles is known to have dated women older than him. His relationship with Olivia Wilde made headlines globally, with Harry stans bullying Wilde online. However, despite the uncanny similarities between Hayes and Harry Styles, the author of the 2017 novel on which the movie was based, Robinne Lee, refused to acknowledge the whole narrative around The Idea of You as Harry Styles fan fiction.
Lee told TODAY.comthat The Idea of You being called a Harry Styles fan fiction is merely used for clickbait. She said in an interview with TODAY.com, “Everyone just goes straight to Harry Styles. I feel like that’s the person that’s going to get you the most clicks.” She also clarified during the interview that there is a Harry Style reference. However, 23 other people were utilized as an inspiration for the story.
Lee mentioned several celebrities that inspired Hayes Campbell and the whole of August Moon’s characters, including Eddie Redmayne, Michael Hawkins, Duran Duran, John Taylor, and Simon Le Bon.
How did the rumors about ‘The Idea of You’ being a Harry Styles fan fiction start?
Lee said during an interview with Deborah Kalb after the publication of the novel in 2017, “I was up late surfing music videos on YouTube when I came across the face of a boy I’d never seen in a band I’d never paid attention to, and it was so aesthetically perfect it took me by surprise. It was like … art.”
She added, “I spent a good hour or so Googling and trying to figure out who this kid was, and in doing so I discovered that he often dated older women, and so the seed was planted.” Lee later jokingly told her husband that he found the ‘perfect guy’ whom she would leave him and their two kids for, and when Lee mentioned that the ‘perfect guy’ was half his age, her husband told her that the whole idea would make a great book. Hence, The Idea of You was born.
Although no names of any artists or Styles were brought up during the interview, fans quickly assumed that it was indeed Styles from whom Lee found inspiration since she started writing the novel in 2014, which was the peak era of One Direction and Harry Styles as the heartthrob lead singer of the band.
(Prime Video)
TheIdea of You explores the challenges and, at the same time, the beauty of life when turning 40. Solène (Anne Hathway) is a divorced single mom who boldly welcomes her 40s by rediscovering herself and detaching her ways from the so-called ‘traditional’ by unapologetically choosing to fall in love with someone who is almost half her age (this part might be off to some, but they wouldn’t be able to deny how splendid Anne and Nicholas played the roles.)
Harry Styles fans need to relax with all of these speculations. Do you really want to hate a film that portrays a happy woman in her 40s? No, you don’t. Just watch and enjoy because The Idea of You is unexpectedly the romance-comedy film we never knew we needed.

How many episodes of Dragon Ball Superare there? That’s not the question you should be thinking about. You SHOULD be thinking about how many push-ups you can do. How else are you gonna be able to defeat the enemies of the universe? You need more training.
What is Dragon Ball Super about?
It is about alien beings who have reached the pinnacles of power. After the defeat of Majin Buu, the Earth undergoes a new era of peace and prosperity. The mighty warrior Goku becomes a humble radish farmer. The peace is short-lived, as the God of Destruction Lord Beerus has awakened from his slumber on a faraway planet, and is headed to Earth for new opponents to fight. Who can stop them? No one but Goku and friends. But you shouldn’t concern yourself with these things, for you still require more training.
Perhaps answering this question will help your training …
Hmm … if you are truly set on finding an answer, I shall provide it. The series ran for 32 months for 131 episodes in total. 32 months. That’s just a START for the time that you should have already been training. If you truly want to become the most powerful being in the universe, you should do 131 push-ups every time Goku powers up. Every time a scouter explodes. Every time somebody eats a Senzu bean. And DOUBLE that number every time Goku shouts “VEGETA!” Only then will you have a foundation upon which your real training can begin.

Paw Patrol Live is currently on tour, and if you’re a parent, you may be wondering how long you’ll be expected to sit through it.
Paw Patrol Live, a stage show featuring puppet versions of the dogs from the animated series Paw Patrol, is currently touring several cities in the southern U.S. and British Columbia. According to the show’s website, there are three separate shows currently playing in Minnesota, Florida, Alabama, Missouri, Mississippi, Georgia, and British Columbia.
The first show is called “Heroes Unite.” Here’s a description from the website:

It’s up to the pups to catch those clones, rescue Robo Dog and show that when the going gets “ruff,” lending a paw makes you the ultimate TOP HERO!
The second show on offer is “The Great Pirate Adventure”:
It’s Pirate Day in Adventure Bay, and Mayor Goodway is getting ready for a big celebration! But first, Ryder and his team of pirate pups must rescue Cap’n Turbot from a mysterious cavern. When they do, they also discover a secret pirate treasure map! The PAW Patrol set out over land and sea to find the treasure for Mayor Goodway’s celebration before Mayor Humdinger finds it first! The pups will need all paws on deck for this pirate adventure, including some help from the newest pup … Tracker!
Finally, the third show currently playing is “Race to the Rescue.”
