One of the best superhero movies of the year is finally headed to a streaming home.Before James Gunn's Superman hits theaters this July, one of the best recent Batman movies is set to start streaming very soon and could give fans a superhero fix while they wait.

Currently, all eyes are on the arrival of Gunn's Superman, but fans also have an eye on the upcoming appointment of a new Dark Knight. However, that still seems to be some way off, so perhaps the time is just right for fans to double down on the DC action with a Japanese anime film that features The Dark Knight up against the Justice League, and has been wowing critics. Read the official plot description below:

Following his return to present-day Gotham City, Batman returns to feudal-era Japan to face off against a mysterious new threat – the Yakuza League – formed...

Warner Bros. Discovery today announced that the DC anime sequel Batman Ninja vs. Yakuza League will stream exclusively on Max (soon to be called HBO Max) on Thursday, July 3.

A sequel to the globally celebrated 2018 anime film Batman Ninja, this original feature once again reimagines DC’s legendary Dark Knight through the lens of Japanese anime, blending iconic characters with bold storytelling and visually stunning animation.

Following his return to present-day Gotham City, in Batman Ninja vs. Yakuza League, Batman returns to feudal-era Japan to face off against a mysterious new threat – the Yakuza League – formed from the warped remnants of his greatest allies.

He arrives to find a world where the Yakuza war with each other, and brutality reigns without honor or humanity. Fans can expect high-octane action, bold visuals, and fresh twists on beloved DC heroes and villains in this wholly original tale.

Directed by Jumpei Mizusaki and Shinji Takagi,...

There’s been a common misconception within the Demon Slayer fandom where people might think Muzan is the series’ best villain, but he isn’t. At least fans don’t seem to agree so. The guy himself got humbled by his own subordinate, which is why fans seem to have a lot more craze for that character.

In case you still wonder who it is, of course it’s Akaza – who else could it be? But still, how credible are the fan opinions, though? Does he deserve the praise he gets? The answer would be yes. At first, he may not look so, but he has all the negative aura that a best villain needs.

Akaza solos other Uppermoons in terms of popularity

Just being a critically well-written character doesn’t make you an instant fan favorite for everyone. You need to have the charm that will magnetize viewers toward you,...

It's been six months since Funko Pop announced its limited One Piece collection, where a select few characters get immortalized in a bronze-like figure. This is part of the anime's celebration of its 25th anniversary, and now, two more have been added to this collection in this limited drop. As expected, it's the members of The Straw Hats.

Now listed on the Funko Pop website, the bronze Chopper and Sanji Pop! Plus figures are added to this limited collection. With an estimated shipping date of August 31, 2025, these two will join the likes of Monkey D. Luffy and Roronoa Zoro in this unique drop. Like the previous figures, Sanji and Chopper are coated in a shiny bronze-like coating and stand on top of rocks with their names engraved. They have a listed price of $25 and will also come with a Pop! Protector. Pre-orders will end on April 16, 2025.

To celebrate its release, more voice actors have been announced, many of whom appeared in huge anime titles like Oshi No Ko and Neon Genesis Evangelion.

Following the broadcast of the final episode of Re:Zero Season 3, it was confirmed that the fourth season of the anime is currently in production.

A teaser visual and Pv were released in order to commemorate the news. Check them out below.

The exact release date and other details regarding Re:Zero Season 4 are yet to be revealed. In the upcoming season, Subaru and his party (which includes Anastasia and Julius) will travel to the Pleiades Watchtower.

The third season of Re:Zero had a total of 16 episodes, with the second cour starting to air in February 2025.

White Fox returned to animate the third season with Masahiro Shinohara at the helm of the series. He replaced Masaharu Watanabe, who had directed the previous season of Re:Zero anime. Tappei Nagatsuki is supervising the anime.

The other staff members working on the third season include:

Batman Ninja vs. Yakuza League, a sequel to the 2018 cult hit Batman Ninja, is a film that revels in its own absurdity while delivering a heartfelt tribute to both anime conventions and the DC Universe. Directed by Junpei Mizusaki and Shinji Takagi, with a screenplay by Kazuki Nakashima, this animated superhero romp picks up a day after the events of Batman Ninja, plunging Batman and his allies into a multiversal mash-up that’s equal parts thrilling, ridiculously gorgeous and surprisingly poignant. This new film doubles down on the over-the-top nonsense of the original, offering a wild ride that’s as much a love letter to Japanese culture as it is a playful riff on the superhero genre.

Batman Ninja Vs. Yakuza League is now available to purchase on digital platforms, but DC fans will be able to preview the highly-anticipated anime sequel without having to shell out any cash. The follow-up to 2018's Batman Ninja features the titular Dark Knight and his closest allies battling an alternate, Yakuza-themed Justice League to save Gotham City. And yes, it is as awesome as it sounds, at least according to the new action-packed footage.

As of Mar. 18, Batman Ninja Vs. Yakuza League is on digital platforms like Prime Video for purchase, while a streaming option remains unavailable. It's been several years since Batman Ninja broke canon forever and delivered a truly fresh take on the classic comic book character, but it feels like it never left. In the nearly 20-minute preview, Warner Bros. allows fans to experience both the English voice acting and the Japanese dub so that you can...

The highly anticipated anime movie Batman Ninja vs. Yakuza League has just released its full preview. This new superhero film, directed by Junpei Mizusaki and Shinji Takagi, is a sequel to Batman Ninja (2018). It is produced by Warner Bros. and animated by Kamikaze Douga and YamatoWorks.

The story picks up just one day after Batman returns from the past. However, things are not the same. Japan has disappeared, and the Justice League is missing. Before Batman and his allies can figure out what happened, yakuza criminals start falling from the sky. The Bat-family must fight to protect Gotham from this dangerous new threat.

The movie features Batman and his allies battling against an alternate version of the Justice League, now known as the Yakuza League. Here are some key characters and their Japanese voice actors:

According to the preview, Re:Zero Season 3 episode 13 will focus on the fights happening across Priestella city, but especially the one between Garfiel and the legendary Eight Arms Kurgan.

Chansard’s sequences are a part of this particular fight. The Garfiel vs Kurgan fights is one of the most high intensity fights in the current arc – a literal brawl.

Nintendo may be well known for their work in the video game market, but this company does more than just make amazing games. They've also made their share of anime from time to time based on the video games their fans know and love.

Everything from Super Mario Bros. to Animal Crossing has received its own adaptation, many of which many fans have glossed over. Those fans should give Nintendo's other works a chance, especially if they are fans of those video games too.

In the west, media about the mafia captivates viewers with their high stakes and interesting criminal dynamics. The Godfather is considered a classic movie, for example, and is a reference in many other shows and movies. The Sopranos is another popular show with a similar premise. There's simply something about this dangerous life that makes for good media.

Things aren't too different in Japan, where there's plenty of media focusing on the yakuza. These organized criminal syndicates have earned their fair share of TV dramas, manga, and anime. They even have a video game inspired by their way of life, The Way of the Dragon, formerly known as Yakuza, showing off their way of life with beat-'em-up action. For anime fans excited to get in on the dangerous action tied to the yakuza, these ten shows are the best of the best.

Yakuza Fianc: Raise wa Tanin ga Ii is the newest love story in anime's Fall 2024 lineup about a high school girl, Yoshino Somei, becoming engaged to the grandson of a powerful Yakuza leader. Based on Asuka Konishi's manga of the same name, this crime-centric romantic dramedy may subvert the expectations of the typical "I can fix him" love story by corrupting the female lead instead of showing the problematic male lead a more wholesome way of life.

These characters have earned their status because of their overwhelming strength and overpowered abilities. Well-known characters get all the attention, and rightfully so, but there are several lesser known anime characters who are incredibly strong.

Most of these lesser known characters are heroes in their respective series, but there are a few villains as well. Many of these characters possess superhuman physical traits and supernatural powers. Several of these characters are human, but most of them are some type of monster or demon. One character comes from a popular shonen series, yet most anime fans are unaware that she has the power to defeat gods.

Its anime adaptation, one of the most anticipated series of the Fall 2024 lineup, just recently premiered with a hilarious 10/10 pilot that perfectly lays out the story of Yoshino Somei, the granddaughter of a Yakuza leader who wishes for nothing more than an ordinary and stress-free life as a high school girl. Much to her surprise, her grandfather ends up pushing her into an arranged marriage with the grandson of another Yakuza leader all the way in Tokyo.

Yoshino finds herself visiting the Miyama household despite her aversion to the engagement, finally meeting the man that her grandfather intended her to marry and realizing that he didn't seem to be such a bad guy after all.

The first episode of Re:Zero Season 3, which was 90 minutes long, set up the stage for what will follow in this season. While the majority of the episode was spent on setting up the scene, the final moments just upped the ante as Subaru found himself caught in the schemes of the Witch Cult.

In what was a weird and haunting sequence, Subaru fell victim to the Sin Archbishop of Wrath’s powers, causing him to return by death. And naturally, in Re:Zero Season 3 Episode 2, Subaru will try to find a way to counteract the Witch Cult’s scheme.

Compared to the previous episode, the second one will be more action packed, as both Emilia and Beatrice enter the fray to support Subaru in his fight.

Each of them is stubborn and is prepared to go through immense pain to win the day. This tale of revenge and manipulation will keep audiences on their toes.

Anime characters break the fourth wall for comedic effect, interacting with the audience and commenting on their world. Gintama stands out for its numerous fourth wall breaks, adding humor by criticizing production and referencing anime tropes. Fourth wall breaks are also seen in other anime like Fruits Basket, Pokemon, and Haruhi Suzumiya, adding humor and breaking reality.

While the genre is often known for its absurd premises and over-the-top deliveries, many anime go above and beyond that by breaking the fourth wall in the best ways. A concept with roots in theater, the fourth wall is what separates fictional characters from the real-life audience; the latter is aware of it while the former is generally not. Breaking the fourth wall is when the characters in a story become aware of their status as such, commenting on their world or the fact that theyre being watched.

Sometimes, characters will even try to interact with the audience,...

Sometimes, a popular ongoing anime will air while the manga is still being written. When the anime approaches the manga, the studio usually introduces a filler arc to give the manga writer more time to progress the story. Bleach has multiple filler arcs, which means that it has plenty of filler characters. Most of these filler characters are easily forgetable, but a few really stand out because of their personalities and backstories. Certain filler characters are so impactful that some fans wish they were actually canon.

Most of these filler characters only appear in the anime, and many of them are Soul Reapers. That being said, there is one Filler Hollow that really stands out, and there are three filler artificial souls that many Bleach fans adore. Some of these great filler characters only appear in Bleach's animated movies, and they typically help to flesh out a canonical character's backstory.

Naruto's sequel series, Naruto: Shippuden covers the second half of the Naruto manga, and it took place after a two and a half year timeskip. The series ended in 2017 and for the most part, fans were pleased with the way it ended. Many of the main characters that fans grew up with had satisfying endings. That being said, there was still a bit of controversy because several characters who were once well-established villains somehow managed to have a better ending than they deserved.

Most of Naruto's main characters were able to shine in Shippuden, and others unfortunately died before the story concluded. Those who survived until the end now live different lives. For some characters, life is now easier and more free, and for the others, it has become a bit harder.
