Megan Thee Stallion has long been open about her love for anime, from cosplaying as My Hero Academia’s Shoto Todoroki to name-dropping Goku in her lyrics. Now, she is leveling up from fan to creator. In a recent announcement, Megan revealed that her very own anime series is in the works, and she is teaming up with none other than The Boondocks executive producer Carl Jones to bring it to life. The upcoming show will stream on Amazon Prime Video, adding some serious star power to the platform’s growing anime offerings.

Megan teased the project with infectious enthusiasm, according to @ToonHive on X, promising fans, “You ain’t never seen an anime like this ever in your life!” That bold claim, coming from someone with a deep appreciation for the genre, has stirred major buzz online.

Rolling Stone has confirmed Jenkins’ death. Jenkins’ wife, Raquel Cepeda, told The Hollywood Reporter that the cause was complications from multiple system atrophy.

Jenkins’ output was multifaceted and vast. As a journalist, he started underground zines; wrote for and edited prominent publications like Vibe, Rolling Stone, and Spin (He was currently creative director of Mass Appeal); and profiled major artists across various genres.

Aaron McGruder's comic strip "The Boondocks" first appeared in 1996 in the pages of The Diamondback, the school newspaper of the University of Maryland. McGruder attended U of M, graduating with a degree in African American Studies. "The Boondocks" followed the life and experiences of a 10-year-old big-city Chicago boy named Huey and his brother Riley, who have to go live with their grandfather in the suburbs of Maryland. Huey, like McGruder, was sharply aware of the fineries of Black culture and the way it was commonly misused by corporate America. Riley, meanwhile, loved gangsta rap culture and sought the wealth and conspicuous consumption featured in so many rap videos. Both kids butted heads with their grandfather, who, being a WWII veteran and former civil rights activist, had a perspective all his own.

"The Boondocks" was assertively political, which was refreshing in the funny pages. McGruder tried to partner with several distribution syndicates,...

Fans missing the bone-dry wit of “Succession” may finally quench their thirst with Jesse Armstrong’s new HBO satire “Mountainhead.”

While promoting his new adult animated series “#1 Happy Family USA,” Ramy Youssef — one of the leads in the “Succession” creator’s feature film debut — called the project “funny in the same way ‘Succession’ is.”

“‘Succession’ is one of the best comedies ever made — and this film is certainly funny in the same way,” Youssef told Variety on Wednesday night at the “#1 Happy Family USA” premiere in New York. “Jesse’s writing is on another level. It’s really hard to find something of that caliber, so getting to do it was such a joy.”

“Mountainhead” follows a group of billionaire friends as they convene against the backdrop of an international crisis. The ensemble of snowed-in billionaires also includes Steve Carell as Randall, Jason Schwartzman as Souper/Hugo Van Yalk,...

Animation has become steadily more popular over the years. Audiences of all ages are beginning to realize the skill and dedication it takes to create any animated series nowadays. This is particularly true due to all the great animated series that have come out in recent years. For a long time, anime has been the standard for incredible, stylistic animation. However, more Western series have become so popular that fans consider them to be anime.

Whether they are actually anime or not is up for debate, but there is no denying that may of these series hold similar elements to the Japanese animation genre. Through character design, story inspiration, and technique, these series are considered anime worldwide.

Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir Weaves Its Lore With Asian Influences Stream Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir on Disney+

Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir is technically a French series.

Anime is a term that mainly refers to animated entertainment produced in Japan, although it has steadily grown into its own entity with many tropes and sub-genres specific to it. Anime has become its own genre, so recognizable that animated series created outside of Japan are often referred to as such because they follow styles of art or contain common tropes that show the genre.

Anime, although still holding its original meaning, has become more of an umbrella term for anime-inspired series. Avatar: The Last Airbender, for example, is a beloved Western animation but is often categorized as an anime alongside many other series that use the signature tropes of the genre as a medium to tell stories and showcase characters that can charm and captivate audiences in ways similar to the most famous anime series out there.

Over the course of a film career that has grown over three decades, writer/director Regina King has built one of the most impressive sets of credits of any actor working today. From her early performances in films by John Singleton, King has worked with such other distinguished directors as Cameron Crowe, Taylor Hackford and Barry Jenkins, delivering performances that have showcased her skills in comedy, romance and even action films. All of this work culminated in an Academy Award win for her stunning performance in 2018’s “If Beale Street Could Talk.”

King’s honors are not limited to her performances on the big screen, however. For her work in television, King has won an impressive four Emmy Awards — for the Netflix series “Seven Seconds,” the HBO limited series “Watchmen” and two consecutive Emmys for her performance in ABC’s “American Crime.” In addition, she starred in several successful series — “The Boondocks,...

The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim was something of a creative curiosity for fans. On paper, it seemed like something that might appeal to both Middle-Earth enthusiasts and anime aficionados, thus giving it prime potential to be a box office hit in the holiday season. After many fans of Tolkien's legenderium felt let down by Amazon's Rings of Power, hearing of Peter Jackson's return to Middle-Earth became something to look forward to. Unfortunately, the movie's financial stockings have been stuffed with coal, and it's more than obvious why.

Beyond its struggles as an adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's works and its mixed reception, The War of the Rohirrim fell short as a proper anime film. Despite a sizable budget, it lacked the visual finesse and dynamic energy characteristic of most anime, making its flaws even more glaring. The animation felt uninspired and unrefined, undermining any...

LeSean Thomas, the first African-American animator to direct anime in Japan, has been driven to work in animation for the majority of his life. However, the prominent creator is dismayed by his audiences continuously asking for shows like Vinland Saga or Samurai Champloo instead of more innovative projects that push conventional boundaries.

Per Anime News Network, The Japan Society in New York City recently hosted an event called "Foreign Exchanges: Anime Inspirations & Visionaries with LeSean Thomas." While speaking at three talks organized by Coach Mike of "The ImagiNation Project," Thomas discusses the experiences he had while directing major anime projects like Cannon Busters (2019) and Yasuke (2021). Many criticized the latter series at the time of its release due to its incorporation of fantasy and mecha elements into a historical drama story. However, Thomas wishes to avoid "retreading" ground seen in other works -- something he has accused other Black directors of doing.

Good things come to those who wait, they say. For those who are fans of The Boondocks Saints, that wait has lingered for quite a while, but it is set to end soon. Starring Norman Reedus and Sean Patrick Flanery, The Boondocks Saints was not an appreciated project when it first premiered in 1999. However, just like wine gets better with age, the movie is now a beloved cult classic with a sequel, The Boondock Saints 2: All Saints Day, which arrived a decade later. Conversations surrounding the production of The Boondock Saints 3 have swirled around for a while now. However, in recent months, it has begun to gather significant pace.

Animated sitcoms have carved out their own niche within the landscape of television, and the genre has evolved a lot over the years. Starting with shows like The Flintstones and The Jetsons in the 1960s, animated sitcoms presented a novel variation on a tired format. Animation allowed these shows to tell stories and jokes that would be impossible in traditional live-action sitcoms. After shows like The Simpsons, Family Guy and South Park became popular in the 1990s, animated sitcoms took another big leap forward, with shows focused solely on adults.

Nowadays, animated sitcoms are more common than ever before, since advances in technology have made them quicker and easier to make. The genre has opened up to allow for original and creative concepts, many of which do things which live-action isn't built to do. Modern classics like Rick and Morty and BoJack Horseman showcase all the fast-paced fun of animation,...

The Boondocks is not classified as anime due to being created by American companies, despite anime influences in its visuals. Aaron McGruder drew inspiration from iconic anime series like Samurai Champloo, enriching The Boondocks with cultural themes and hip-hop influences. Moi Animation's involvement in the second season elevated The Boondocks' animation quality, bringing a richer visual experience in line with authentic anime standards.

The Boondocks, a show steeped in controversy and praise alike, stands out not only for its incisive social commentary but also for its unique visual style, which borrows heavily from Japanese animation, but The Boondocks isn't anime. Created by Aaron McGruder, the series follows the adventures of the Freemans, particularly the two young brothers, Huey and Riley, a Black family who moves from the inner city to the predominantly white suburbs. The Boondocks blends satire, racial politics, and the clash of cultures.

Throughout its run, the show...

In an exclusive interview with Variety, German maestro filmmaker Werner Herzog discussed his plans to lead the 3rd Film Accelerator program organized by Barcelona-based La Selva. Herzog and his long-time cinematographer Peter Zeitlinger will be on hand to guide the 25 directing and 25 cinematography aspirants who will pair up to create short films no longer than 10 mins in length.

On day one, he will give them a framework on which to base their project. “They’re not to come with a pre-formulated plan for their projects,” said Herzog, who revealed that he was lending his voice to “Parasite” director Bong Joon Ho’s upcoming hand-drawn animated feature about deep-sea creatures.

This would not be the first time for Herzog, who has lent his distinguished gravelly voice to many other parts in the past, most notably in episodes of “The Simpsons,” “The Boondocks” as well as Adult Swim’s “Rick and Morty” and “Metalocalypse.

The title of Eric Monte and Mike Evans’ Norman Lear-produced sitcom Good Times was designed to be welcoming and inclusive. The theme song was a litany of poverty-driven adversity — temporary layoffs, easy credit rip-offs, etc. — interjected with the chorus of “Good Times!,” setting up the story of the Evans family weathering the travails of the Chicago projects with a mix of pride, determination and a whole lot of dysfunctional domestic affection.

The title of Netflix’s new 10-episode animated Good Times has taken on an almost antagonistic quality, since the first trailer was released and devotees of the original blasted those two minutes for being a violation of said original’s style and spirit.

Boondock Saints 3 has potential for big success, bringing back old cast while working with new vigilantes. Franchise to learn from John Wick's family-focused action genre to improve writing and characters. New entry in Boondock Saints series needs stronger script, complex characters, and family themes.

The Boondock Saints 3 is in the perfect position to be a massive success thanks to the critical and commercial acclaim of a $1 billion action thriller franchise. With the original cast returning for The Boondock Saints 3, audiences will hopefully receive another quality entry into the beloved genre. While there are few details available, The Boondock Saints 3 will see the MacManus brothers working with a new generation of vigilantes. With the last entry in the franchise being 2009's The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day, The Boondock Saints 3 will be a reimagining of the franchise.

After appearing in Ti West’s slasher movie X last year, Scott Mescudi (aka Kid Cudi) will next be starring in new animated feature Slime, Deadline reports today.

Slime is described as “a classic monster movie decked out in fashion-forward video game skins that are wickedly satirical, scary as hell and trippy Af.”

The Simpsons' recent seasons have improved considerably, winning over both critics and fans, making it one of the stronger animated adult comedies on television. The fact that new shows, even with notable talents like Dan Harmon, are struggling to gain hype emphasizes The Simpsons' impressive comeback. Despite its age, The Simpsons' formula continues to work, allowing it to outperform newer shows and earn more acclaim than even Dan Harmon's new series.

While The Simpsons season 35 might not be as good as the show’s best outings, the creator of Rick and Morty’s new animated Fox sitcom shows just how good the series still is today. It was no major surprise when The Simpsons seasons 30 through 33 struggled with critics and fans alike. The show’s so-called Golden Age ended around season 11, a full 20 years before season 32 began. The Simpsons paved the way for much of the modern adult animation landscape but,...

Deadline hears that another remake of the film, which originally starred Burt Reynolds in 1974 and was remade starring Adam Sandler in 2005, is in the works at Paramount Pictures. Rodney Barnes, who was an exec producer and writer on HBO’s Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty, is writing.

It comes from Gunpowder & Sky, whose CEO Van Toffler was an exec producer on the 2005 version when he worked at then-MTV owner Viacom. Toffler is producing with former MTV Films boss David Gale, who reunited with Toffler at Gunpowder & Sky and who also exec produced the Sandler version.

The Longest Yard is a prison sports comedy film.

Fans of The Boondocks got a glimpse at what the now-shelved TV series might have looked like.

On Oct. 28 and 30, Seung-Eun Kim revealed concept art for The Boondocks' reboot via X. Fans were also able to get a sense of possible themes and episodes of the series, as images of alternate versions of United States Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the popular Street Fighter character Cammy depict personalities taken far out of their usual contexts, in typical The Boondocks fashion. Many fans noted that the art style was homaging Capcom, a theory that Cammy's appearance appears to bolster. Check out the concept designs below:

Adult Swim has been gradually taking up more airtime on Cartoon Network, with recent events suggesting that it may eventually dominate the entire day's schedule. Adult Swim's success with older demographics and its recent increase in ratings have positioned it as a key player for Warner Bros. Discovery, which is looking to target the older generation to combat the decline of cable TV. Cartoon Network's relevance is at risk, as linear ratings continue to decline and original series migrate to streaming platforms. With Adult Swim dominating 13 hours of the day, Cartoon Network's future is uncertain.

Those of us who grew up in the 2000s hold Cartoon Network in a special place in our hearts. Courage the Cowardly Dog, The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, The Powerpuff Girls, and Ed Edd n Eddy were just some of the titles that defined the decade for the network. When the day was over,...

The Simpsons has replaced at least fifteen voice actors throughout its 33-year run, due to reasons like actor deaths, concerns about diversity, and labor disputes. Characters like Dr. Hibbert, Artie Ziff, and Carl Carlson have been recast in recent years to address diversity issues in the show. While some character changes caused controversy, most of the recast characters in The Simpsons did not receive significant backlash from fans.

While The Simpsons has a cast of thousands, the show has changed the voice actors of at least fifteen characters for a diverse range of reasons. The Simpsons has been on the air for over 33 years. During that time, the long-running animated comedy introduced viewers to thousands of characters. From one-off joke characters to ever-present fan favorites, The Simpsons has a vast cast. However, many of the show’s characters are voiced by the same handful of actors, with comedy veterans like Harry Shearer,...

The writers and actors strike is getting a boost from the comics world and a new superhero named General Strike.

Indie publisher Black Mask Studios, run by Matteo Pizzolo, is putting together a comics anthology that will be written by WGA members with the company matching the writers’ fees with donations to the safety net organization Entertainment Community Fund.

The announcement comes as the writers strike hits its 100th day. No new contract talks are scheduled to begin any time soon.

Titled General Stike: Calexit and Other Tales of Fighting the Good Fight, the collection of new stories has the theme of confronting economic inequality and, like any good superhero story, featuring new characters fighting the good fight against injustice. A bubblegum-chewing, labor-organizing character named General Strike will act as the host of the comic, threading the stories together.

The book is in pre-launch mode on Kickstarter now, with an official launch set for Aug.

“Atlanta” is bowing out with a final season and hoping to earn one last Best Comedy Series nomination after a stellar run at the Emmys.

Donald Glover‘s hit FX show, which he created, co-writes, co-directs, and stars in follows the multi-hyphenate as Earn, who tries to help his cousin Alfred (Brian Tyree Henry) make a career as a rapper in Atlanta named Paper Boi. Across the show’s run, they and Darius (Lakeith Stanfield) come across various issues that touch on money, race, relationship, status, and parenthood.

The show has moments of real drama and has received acclaim for its distinct brand of eccentric humor, driven by Glover. With moments of bizarre surrealness, the show is idiosyncratic in its ideas and executions and is one of the most unique shows from one of the most impressive storytellers out there.

The show has always been well-received and its fourth and final season,...
