Every season, plenty of anime shows and films are met with hype to incredible degrees. Whether it’s because of the popularity of the source material, the pedigree of the staff and studio, or some combination of the two, some anime will stand out more than others, and those that do are often the ones that are the best to watch in their respective seasons.

Hype tends to be a good way of judging how good an anime will be, but that isn’t always the case. As often as anime are given hype, they’re just as often ignored either before their premieres or during because of their premises or a general lack of interest, but even with that, there are many cases when an anime will find major success with fans and critics alike after initially garnering little to no interest. A few anime, in particular, are especially...

Pernida is one of Yhwach's Royal Guards, making it one of the strongest Quincy in Bleach. It may consider itself a Quincy, but Pernida is actually the sentient Left Arm of the Soul King, which governs evolution. As a result, Pernida can rapidly evolve to adapt to any situation or ability. The Compulsory allows Pernida to inject its nerves into a target, using them to rapidly destroy the person's body within seconds. Pernida can destroy many notable Bleach characters with this Schrift.

Pernida can destroy many Captain-level Soul Reapers who possess powerful Shikai and Bankai. Pernida values Quincy above all else, but if it were forced into a corner, it can easily destroy several Sternritter with The Compulsory. It can also obliterate a former Espada who specializes in close-range combat.

Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero is all set to release on...

October will be dominated by Bleach once again because of the return of the Thousand-Year Blood War Arc. The arc has been a massive success thus far. It has received a great deal of praise for its animation and action. The first two seasons of the Thousand-Year Blood War showcased incredible fights that manga readers had been eagerly awaiting for over a decade. Part 3 will continue this trend with several highly anticipated battles.

Part 3's most anticipated fights will see Captain-level Soul Reapers taking on Yhwach's elite Quincy, but some of the fights will be between two Quincy. Yhwach will fight more than once in Part 3, but he will be far more powerful this time around. Most of these fights will stand out because they include new Bankai and stunning character moments. Certain fights will end quicker than others, but they will all be bloody affairs.

Two talented actors who've voiced Frieza, Daman Mills and Linda Young, recently teamed up to record a video in character. Frieza has had four different English voice actors since 1996, with the latest being brought on near Dragon Ball Super's end. Fans have not heard the last of Frieza, as more of Daman Mills' take on the character will likely be heard when Dragon Ball Super's anime returns.

Dragon Ball's Galactic Emperor Frieza has had several talented voice actors take on the iconic role, and two of his best recently teamed up in a video to take over the universe. The planet-destroying villain helped create one of the most fantastic arcs in all of Shnen and even returned from the dead to team up with Goku in one of Dragon Ball Super's best fights. But Frieza's voice has gone through more than a couple of iterations over the years.

The latest entry in the animated franchise, Resident Evil: Death Island comes two years after the last entry, Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness, and is set in 2015, just after the events of Resident Evil: Vendetta but before Resident Evil 7. Got that?

Somewhere in San Fransisco Dso Agent Leon S. Kennedy is trying to recover kidnapped scientist Dr. Antonio Taylor (Frank Todaro) when a mysterious woman appears and, after a high-speed chase, causes him to crash. Claire Redfield is also in town, trying to find out what kind of creature can use Orcas as a food source. And whether or not the creature is a bioweapon.

Jill Valentine, Chris Redfield and Rebecca Chambers are also looking for answers.

Resident Evil is a video-game franchise with no foreseeable end in sight. And as Capcom’s zombie shooter approaches the big 3-0, it unleashes another entry in the often overlooked animated series of films. Taking place between games 6 and 7, and following 2017’s Vendetta, the story of Resident Evil: Death Island is subject to the same formula as its predecessors. A big threat brews somewhere, and the characters rush in to stop it. However, the new animated film does manage to set itself apart by featuring an all-star cast and complementing the over-the-top action sequences with organic emotional moments.

While the previous animated films — Degeneration, Damnation, and Vendetta — tend to star only a few major characters from the game franchise, Death Island includes four heavy-hitters. Leon S. Kennedy, Jill Valentine, Chris Redfield, and Claire Redfield are all active during this mission.

Death Island opens with a flashback from the Raccoon City...
