We are now in August, which means we are drawing ever closer to the return of Saitama in the third season of One-Punch Man, which arrives in October. Saitama, the titular One Punch Man who only needs to land a single blow to fell any enemy, has been off-screen for five years. Season 2 of One-Punch Man aired in July 2019 and there hasn't been anything since, until now at least. Production on Season 3 has been ongoing for some time now as the show prepares for its return in the fall. Saitama is voiced by Makoto Furukawa and, according to an update shared on social media by official sources, Furukawa will be on double hero duty in Season 3. Besides voicing our titular hero, Furukawa will also serve as the new series' ending song artist. However, the update did not confirm a song title.

One-Punch Man Season 3 was first announced back in...

Viz Media has officially acquired One Punch Man, as Season 3 is just a few months away at this point. It's been some time since we last laid eyes on Saitama, with the second season premiering way back in 2019. While the return was not certain previously, it's set in stone now with Season 3 of One Punch Man arriving later this year. Ahead of Anime Expo this week, Viz Media offered an exciting update for the coming season as the English dub voice cast for the upcoming third season was revealed. The negativity with which the second season was greeted means that Season 3 has triggered both fears and hype in equal measure.

Much of the team that voiced the characters in Season 2 are set to reprise their roles, but a voice actor who has been in the news quite a bit recently because of some controversy is joining the team. Taking to their official X account,...

Brian Trenchard-Smith, the British-Australian director of such Ozploitation classics as Turkey Shoot and Dead End Drive-In, eventually made the big move to Hollywood in the early 1990s, and in due time, he was entrusted with the third installment of that decade’s most madcap horror franchise. Amazingly, Trenchard-Smith made his mark on a genre series already known for its schlocky pleasures and cheesy execution. And for those who prefer the wackier and more untamed entries in the Leprechaun universe, they really have Trenchard-Smith to thank; he steered these films in a cracked direction that still has fans talking to this day.

What better person to direct a Leprechaun sequel than the man who once said subtlety isn’t his middle name. Trenchard-Smith, a director of many self-deprecating quotes, made his Hollywood horror debut with another sequel, Night of the Demons 2, before boarding Leprechaun 3. In fact, it was his relationship...

The Hashira are the strongest warriors in Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba. They're arguably the most significant characters in the story, as they seek to eradicate the demon menace and bring peace to the world. The Hashira are led by Kagaya Ubuyashiki, who only allows the strongest fighters to join the Corps. They are always searching for a successor to pass their techniques on to after their death or retirement, which is how both Giyu and Tanjiro learn Water Breathing.

That being said, this tradition is maintained so the Corps always gains stronger fighters as time passes. To become a Hashira, one must neutralize one of the Twelve Kizuki or defeat 50 demons while undergoing intense training that would take five years for the average person. Given how overpowered every single Hashira happens to be, here is a list of every member ranked according to their strength.

Throughout the Naruto series, shinobi have been divided into a unit of three people, with a Jonin leader at the top, commanding them. Distributed on the basis of their skills and to maintain balance throughout the unit, the teams are often sent on various missions, the difficulty of which usually depends on their skill and ninja rank.

This ninja system, while more prominent in Konoha, has also been adopted throughout the five nations. Each generation of shinobi has produced some great teams which have left their mark on history. Some of them have done so through their deeds in battle, while others have gone on to inherit powerful positions in their village.

Updated on April 28th, 2024 by Sage Ashford: Naruto's shinobi teams are one of the main things that separate the series from other ninja anime. Viewers love getting to see how different combinations of ninja interact and learn how to work together.

Sasuke Uchiha is Naruto's best friend and rival, and he has become one of the strongest ninja in history. Like other members of his clan, Sasuke has awakened the Sharingan, but he also possesses the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, and he obtained the Rinnegan near the end of the series. Sasuke fought villains like Orochimaru, Danzo, Madara, and Kaguya, but there were several other Naruto villains that he never got the chance to fight.

Most of the villains that Sasuke never fought were part of the Akatsuki. Several of them appeared before the timeskip, and they were connected to Orochimaru. There is even a canonical movie villain that Sasuke never faced. Sasuke might have been able to defeat these villains, but many of them would have given him a fair bit of trouble.

Julia Fletcher vividly remembers the day her child, Elliot, came out as transgender. "It was August 21, 2013," she says. "It was the second day of his senior year of high school. He was 17." Elliot had been designated a female at birth, but identified as male. And on that August day in 2013, he told his family that he wanted to begin living as a boy. Despite the enormity of the announcement, the family wasn't surprised. "We had said goodbye to the concept of a little girl in her Christmas dress long before," says Julia. "So by the time he came out to us,...

All the Warwick Davis Leprechaun movies are coming out in a new Blu Ray combo pack. The commentary tracks offer some memories of my two contributions to the guilty pleasure franchise. Here are a few more.

I grew up enjoying the absurdist humor of the Monty Python’s Flying Circus TV series. So why not Absurdist Cinema? I loved the 1941 Hellzapoppin’, an early iconic example. The concept of the mid ’90’s Leprechaun franchise was proudly ludicrous – pint sized Jason/Freddy/Chucky amalgam with an Irish twist terrorizes and kills most of the supporting cast. But he was never really scary. I decided to embrace the absurd and make it as much fun as the formula allowed.

Blue Rider Pictures, for whom I had made Night Of The Demons 2, were asked by Trimark to produce the third and, at that stage, the intended last in the series. Send the little guy to Vegas,...
