Ever since the anime community has gained world recognition, the one thing that has remained constant is the love for the Japanese version of the many series from the community. Be it an anime movie or a series, fans prefer the original version with subtitles over the English dub version as it doesn’t have that authentic feel to it.

However, this is not the case for every anime series. There are a few anime series that have managed to make their English dub version as iconic as the Japanese version, and the fans are all for it. One of them is the classic Mob Psycho 100, written and illustrated by One. While the series ended in 2022, it is still considered a legend.

And a lot of the credit for its success goes to the English-dub version of the series. The English voice artists of Mob Psycho 100,...

In Demon Slayer, the Twelve Kizuki are the twelve strongest demons in existence, and they all serve Muzan Kibutsuji – the original demon. The Twelve Kizuki are divided between the Upper-Ranks and Lower-Ranks. The Lower-Ranks get replaced quite often, but the Upper-Ranks have not changed in more than a century. There are not many anime characters who can defeat the Twelve Kizuki, but there are a few characters who can.

Each member of the Twelve Kizuki can use a Blood Demon Art, and they have great regenerative abilities. The Upper-Ranks can heal most injuries within seconds. That being said, they will all die if they are exposed to the sun. Most of the anime characters who can defeat the Twelve Kizuki can harness the power of the sun in some way, and others possess abilities that can counter their regeneration.

After finding huge success in WWE, Dwayne Johnson has gone on to become one of the most sought-after actors in Hollywood and was recently named the highest paid actor of the year.

Many people were predicting the worst for Jeff Fowler’s Sonic the Hedgehog, and understandably so, as the original design for the character was rather terrifying and no one really wanted to hand over their money to sit in a cinema watching a family film where the titular hero was a nightmare to look at. Thankfully, then, Paramount delayed the pic by three months and spent millions of dollars on a total redesign.

Things worked out well, too, as Sonic the Hedgehog went on to find itself as just the second video game adaptation ever to secure a Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes after Detective Pikachu, not to mention it’s also the fourth biggest hit of this year thanks to bringing in $310 million globally.

Of course, a sequel was announced in short order and we know that it’ll feature Knuckles in what’s said to be a substantial role.

With only a few weeks left in 2018, we’ve stumbled upon some eleventh hour riches on the Sailor Moon news front. Before we ring in 2019, let’s take a look at what we have to look forward to.

Despite having formed a close bond with Sailor Chibi Moon (Sandy Fox), Pegasus is still holding back some secrets. As the plot thickens, new villains appear, including the distubingly sexualized despite their age Amazoness Quartet...
