In the world of Solo Leveling, Hunters are humanity’s last line of defense against the magical beasts that live inside the mysterious gates that span all across the globe. To ensure that the monsters inside don’t spill out into the real world, these Hunters head inside, fighting against the dungeon bosses to close the gate before the mana within the gate causes it to crack open.

To better ensure that the right Hunters enter gates at their level, Hunters are classified into ranks based on their strength and skills, with the gamut ranging from the formidable and rare S-Rank Hunters to the weaker and more common E-Rank Hunters. In between these two groups are the B-Rank and the C-Rank Hunters, who play a vital role in clearing the middling gates. Aside from series protagonist, Sung Jinwoo, no other Hunter can level up their skills, with their ranking firmly...

With season two of Star Wars: Visions coming in 2023, I wanted to look back at each short from season one and celebrate why they’re great. This is Visions Remembered.

Ah, The Twins. Probably the most polarizing of the Star Wars Visions shorts. From what I gather from various reactions, people either love this one or it’s their least favorite. There’s very little in between. The ones who adore it tend to be fans of Studio Trigger’s work, especially since Karre’s design is so similar to Lio, on of the main characters in Trigger’s film Promare. The people who don’t really dig this one usually come down to the aesthetics of The Twins and it’s simply not their taste which is totally fine.

Everything above is exactly why I love The Twins. It’s so out there that people do tend to have...

Modern anime titles appeal to a wide variety of demographics, including older anime community members. For those who have been following anime since the 80s and 90s, there are still plenty of popular titles that appeal to older audiences. There may seem to be no shortage of titles that appeal to younger audiences. However, that doesn't mean that some of those same series can cultivate a following among older fans too.

Often, series that are successful with older audiences might have a more mature tone and themes. Conversely, they might offer a new twist on established anime tropes. Series like Dragon Ball can appeal to just about anyone, but sometimes that universal appeal can only go so far to interesting fans who have seen hundreds of similar action anime. That's what sets these examples apart from ones with universal appeal.

Ranma 1/2 may be full of magic and mayhem, but the ending theme for the new adaptation is taking things a little slower. And a creditless version of that ending is now available to enjoy. Set to the new song "Anta Nante" by Riria., the ending sequence explores the complicated relationship between Ranma and Akane. We also get a peek at the show's many other characters, as well as Akane's handwritten feelings about Ranma. (Spoiler: it's "baka.")

Over the past few years, there has been a shocking increase in anime where eating delicious food plays a major role. The most recent success story has been Ryoko Kui's Delicious in Dungeon, a story where a band of adventurers venture deep into a labyrinth dungeon to rescue the leader's sister. Along the way, they need to eat delicious, nutritious meals made of monsters to save time getting to the sister. Other successful anime include Food Wars, Restaurant to Another World, and Campfire Cooking In Another World With My Absurd Skill.

While these anime managed to succeed and see their source material translated into English, a certain restaurant isekai anime wasn't so lucky. Studio Sunrise released Isekai Izakaya "Nobu" in 2018.

With the first half of 2024 coming to a close, the best-selling manga of 2024 so far has been unveiled. Although a lot could change between now and the end of the year, the current scope of the industry has shown an immense amount of change and growth as far as what fans are reading, and genres that are becoming more successful.

Like most years, there are some new and unexpected additions, some long-time veterans, and some who soared to great heights because of their anime. This year's is particularly interesting, as fans have discovered some hidden gems that have dethroned giants, like One Piece and My Hero Academia, which is a good sign.

Based on the manga series, Delicious in Dungeon is a comedic fantasy series with a cooking emphasis. The series follows the exploits of a guild leader named Laios as...

Delicious in Dungeon (also known as Dungeon Meshi) was 2024's breakout anime series. When it first hit screens in January 2024, it quickly became one of the season's most popular and talked about anime. Becoming an instant viral sensation that captured the hearts, minds, and stomachs of both long-time anime fans and fantasy lovers who hadn't dipped their toes into the world of anime before. Due to this immense popularity, fans are desperate to know when the second season will arrive and what they can expect when it does. But what is currently known about Delicious in Dungeon's second season, and when can fans expect it to launch?

Created by Ryoko Kui (the winner of the manga Excellence Award at the 2013 Japan Media Arts Festival), Delicious In Dungeon began as a manga. Serialized in Harta magazine between February 2014 and September 2023, the story opens with an adventuring party consisting of swordsman Laios Touden,...

Marcille from Delicious in Dungeon is brought to life authentically in a charming cosplay by model Dalila Barbieri. The cosplay shoot, while stunning, focuses solely on Marcille, with no monster meals from the anime featured. Barbieri, known as Baubab09, also embodies characters from Chainsaw Man, Baldur's Gate III, and Genshin Impact on her Instagram.

Delicious in Dungeon quickly made waves in the anime community for its lovable characters, tasty monster-based foods, and an endearing plot featuring Laios Touden and the party he assembles to rescue his sister. After losing Falin Touden to a Red Dragon in the dungeon, the party's members venture back to rescue her while surviving on the remains of the monsters they defeat. Marcille Donato joins this quest, and Italy-based fashion model Dalila Barbieri beautifully captures her Half-Elf visage and overall look in a charming Delicious in Dungeon cosplay.

Sung Jinwoo's relentless pursuit of growth in Solo Leveling captivates viewers. Jinwoo's battle against Igris showcases his strategic brilliance and victory. Jinwoo's acceptance of the role of Shadow Monarch signifies a new chapter in his journey.

Solo Leveling's debut in the anime industry has made a significant impact, positioning it as a strong contender for awards like Crunchyroll's Anime of the Year. The series offers a refreshing and unique narrative that, while distinct from the traditional Shnen genre, still captures its essence. The key to its widespread popularity lies in its protagonist, Sung Jinwoo, and his solo journey of leveling up to become the strongest hunter.

Watching Sung Jinwoo rise to higher levels is just as satisfying as leveling up a character in a game and unlocking precious rewards. His journey is an emotional roller coaster, and A-1 Pictures has masterfully brought each pivotal moment to life in a stellar adaptation.

Kadokawa -- the Japan-based media publisher behind hit franchises like Sword Art Online and Re:Zero: Starting Life in Another World -- is currently riding high on the success of several up-and-coming franchises. Recently, the company announced its top-earning IPs for the first quarter of 2024 (April-June), revealing a number of surprising titles that are gaining major traction in the anime marketplace this year.

According to GameBiz, Delicious in Dungeon (alternatively known as Dungeon Meshi) is Kadokawa's highest-earning IP of the year by far, having exceeded over two billion yen total in "publishing, anime and rights income." In second place is KonoSuba: God's Blessings on This Wonderful World, which has earned close to one billion yen in media sales. Notably, Doga Kobo's anime-only IP, Oshi no Ko, managed to earn the third place spot, despite only accumulating sales from one medium.

Dungeon Meshi topped the rankings in both the publishing and IP creation segment, as well as the anime production segment, earning more than twice the sales of the second-place IP.

Coming in second was KonoSuba: God’s Blessing on This Wonderful World!, which brought in close to 1 billion yen in sales.

Despite being licensed from another company, the anime adaptation of Oshi no Ko secured the third position, solely based on its anime revenue.

Delicious in Dungeon has quite the effective formula, being: discover a monster, kill it, and eat it. The anime is unique for its interpretation of dungeons, borrowing heavily from various fantasy tropes to create something truly special within the anime community. While the food looks delicious, the monsters are truly the stars of the show.

Every episode features a unique monster and situation the party comes across to further their advance down the seemingly endless dungeon to save Falin. With so many monsters to choose from, the fights are just the cherry on top for many who enjoy a comedic, yet high-stakes adventure. Considering Falin's rescue is what drives the majority of the plot, the fights serve both as exciting moments and as a way for the author to provide fun lore for everyone to enjoy, not to mention the food.

One of the most unorthodox fantasy anime to come out in recent years, Delicious in Dungeon, is a show that approaches the classic premise of adventuring stories from a completely unique angle, leaning heavily into the heart of its central gimmick. Following a party of mismatched adventurers as they descend a mysterious dungeon swarming with monsters, the series focuses front and center on the peculiar way Laios and his companions battle the hunger on their lengthy, treacherous journey - by cooking the frightening creatures they encounter into delectable meals.

Yet, Delicious in Dungeon is not simply a foodie show with a novel twist. Dungeon food, in all of its abnormalities, is a means to connect and strengthen the bonds between the party members, the meals Laios and his friends share becoming the foundation of their odd found family. While certainly unusual, the most mouthwatering dishes of Delicious in Dungeon are...

A unique and influential figure in sports-entertainment history, Sullivan found success both in the ring and behind the scenes with his penchant for far out ideas that pushed creative boundaries.“

The statement continues: “As a villain, Sullivan was a major rival for the ring’s most legendary heroes, including Dusty Rhodes, Hulk Hogan and The Road Warriors.

Sakamoto Days, the upcoming anime adaptation of the popular Shonen Jump series, has now received a release window courtesy of Netflix. The new series will also go against the grain by dropping a long-time hated release strategy by the mainstream streaming service.

The official Netflix YouTube account released its own trailer for its upcoming animated adaptation of Sakamoto Days, based on the manga by Yuto Suzuki. In the trailer, Tarou Sakamotos old life as one of the greatest assassins in the world clashes with his new everyday life as a family man running an ordinary convenience store. Although Sakamotos current appearance as a married man nearing his 30s is far from his younger days as an intimidating hitman, he still possesses those deadly skills that put him at the top.

The Black Clover manga written and illustrated by Yuki Tabata debuted in early 2015, and within the span of a few short months, it became one of the fastest-growing series published by Shone Jump in some time. Two years later, the franchise received an anime adaptation produced by Pierrot the same animation studio behind hits like Naruto, Bleach and Tokyo Ghoul. On October 3, 2017, the first episode of Black Clover Season 1 hit airwaves on TV Tokyo. But unlike its shnen contemporaries, its initial reception was mixed. This was mostly due to the fact that, to many, Black Clover Season 1 seemed painfully clichd and predictable. Thankfully, time has been kind to the anime, and it's since been vindicated.

In total, the first season of Black Clover ran for 51 episodes, accounting for roughly one-third of the series' 170 episodes. Although the debut season is far from perfect, it was still a hit with anime fans around the world,...

The ability to take in nutrients and calories is pretty important to continue the process of existence. It can be said that food forms a very central point in not just the human experience, but the experience of all living creatures. Everything is either food or eventually becomes food for something else as the circle of life goes on. With that in mind, anime food has a reputation for looking particularly appetizing and delectable. Anyone who has ever watched a Ghibli film knows that half of the appeal is just how good the food looks.

Delicious in Dungeon has a premise that revolves almost entirely around the idea of food and working with what is available in the environment. On one hand, it actually makes sense. Anyone who has played Dungeons & Dragons knows how deep a dungeon can go and, well, kobolds gotta eat. The way in which the...
