The 2025 Anime Scene: What's Really Worth Your Screen Time
Anime in 2025: Too Much of a Good Thing? Let's be honest – trying to keep up with new anime releases these days feels like being that one kid at the buffet who overloads their plate just because everything looks good. There's more content than ever, but most of it's about as memorable as last week's isekai protagonist. Still, a handful of shows have broken through the noise to become genuine cultural moments.

6 Movie Reviews in 100 Words
Fear Street: Prom Queen (2025), Director: Matt Palmer Fear Street: Prom Queen is one of the most generic, slow, and unrealistic slasher films. This felt more like a Goosebumps anthology than a new addition to the Fear Street franchise. The characters are uninteresting, led by dialogue that sounds nothing like how teenagers talk. Matt Palmer has no buildup in the tension or dynamics. You’re telling me that prom night doesn’t come to an immediate halt when a student’s disembodied head is found in the punch bowl? Other than some of the kills, Fear Street: Prom Queen is uninteresting. It doesn’t do anything different from the usual slasher films.

Silver the hedgehog needs his own game!!!
To clarify, I am not a gamer, but rather an observer of the gaming world. While watching videos on YouTube, I came across several old games of the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise. I can’t believe Silver the Hedgehog doesn’t have his own game. So far, Silver has only appeared in a few Sonic games, and he has had a minor role. You would think it's about time he got his own game, because Silver is quite popular in comic books, as well as in fan fiction and animations found on the internet.
