Netflix's take on the Grand Adventure.

One piece has caught the tide
and Nbb A Writer's Guild Award

for the Romance Dawn episode.

Writers Matt Owens and Steven Mida are
basking in the glory as their live action

adaptation outshines in the children's
episodic long form and specials category.

The series made quite the splash
chilling at the top of the global

English language TV rankings on
Netflix for three consecutive weeks.

If that's not enough to get
your gears grinding, guess what?

A second season is on the horizon.

Though it didn't take home the
gold for best hair styling, this

Because the Pokemon world
has faced a real life team.

Rocket scenario, Kyoto Police captured
an interior decorator who decided to

dip into a different kind of design
hacking Pokemon in Pokemon Violet for

the switch, selling these enhanced
pocket monsters for a pretty penny.

The suspect wrangled millions of
yen to support their lifestyle.

Talk about taking the game to a new level.

Comedy Central is raising its
acts for a hearty swing into

nostalgia in other realms.

The dubs are poised to rival
their original counterparts with

a lineup of voice talents, and a
sound team bringing their A game.

Get ready to fill your spring with a
dose of romance and high flying action.

And on a somber note, we bid farewell
to a voice that has echoed through many

of our favorite series, Yasuo Mur Matsu,
the founder of Office Karu, and the

voice behind characters in one piece.

Detective Conan.

And Mobil suit.

Gundam has passed away at
91 a titan in the industry.
