encoded: Invincible is back! After only a year away from our screens, Mark Grayson (Steven Yeun) is about to be put through another gruelling ordeal in his superhero double-life. The (strictly) adult animated series has gone from strength-to-strength since its belated second season, finding a confident stride in terms of both storytelling and release pattern. Likewise, Mark himself has become a more competent and formidable hero before our eyes, having been forced to step up to the plate earlier than expected following the stunning betrayal of his father, Omni-Man (JK Simmons). Based on the comic books by The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman, Invincible has never failed to attract A-list talent to its cast – and season 4 is no exception! Lee Pace (Foundation), Danai Gurira (Black Panther) and Matthew Rhys (The Beast in Me) are making their series debuts, alongside a long list of returning favourites.

This hugely popular dark fantasy series is based on the manga by Gege Akutami, starring a high school student named Yuji, who gains magical powers and joins a secret society of sorcerers. In later arcs the plot focuses more on Yuji's mentor Gojo, and as we enter season 3, the anime is about halfway through adapting the manga's 30-volume run. Whether you're a fan of the manga, the anime adaptation, or both, you may be wondering which storylines have been covered so far. If so, you should check out this guide to watching every Jujutsu Kaisen arc in order, including some recent updates regarding what to expect from season 3. What arc is Jujutsu Kaisen currently in? Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 aired its final episode in December 2023, concluding the Shibuya Incident arc. In the manga, this storyline took place over seven volumes or 53 chapters, concluding in chapter 136. In season 3 the anime series is set to adapt the Culling Game arc, a lengthy battle royale storyline that fans have been anticipating for years. Every Jujutsu Kaisen arc in order Since the original manga published its final volume in 2024, fans know more or less what to expect from future seasons of the anime series - unless, of course, it radically departs from the source material.

description: Gintama can look a little confusing, but we promise it's easier than it looks to watch this sci-fi series.
encoded: Developed by creator Hideaki Sorachi in 2003, Gintama follows the a space samurai known as Gintoki Sakata, a self-established freelancer who works alongside his friends Shinpachi Shimura and Kagura in a store to help pay rent. Oh, and the Tokyo they live in has been conquered by aliens. Because why not? If that sounds a little wacky, then it's because it is. But that's what makes the series so memorable in the first place. Fun fact: Gintama is cited as one of the best-selling manga series of all time, with over 55 million copies in print alone. But it isn't just the manga that's popular. Gintama's anime, which began in December 2003 and only ended in June 2019, has had its home entertainment releases consistently in the top ten rankings of DVDs and Blu-rays. If that isn't worth bragging about, then we don't know what is. Gintama is also coming back in a major way with a brand new spin-off series: Gintama '3-Nen Z-Gumi Ginpachi-sensei. Its first trailer was revealed earlier in the year, but its launch is set to come sometime in October 2025. Of course, some fans may be wondering if you need to watch everything Gintama to understand it. If that's you, then you're in the right place. Read on to learn the best way to watch this expansive anime (though not quite as expansive as One Piece) in order. Should I watch Gintama in chronological order? Gintama can seem a little confusing initially due to all the slightly different wordings of each season, with some being cited as ‘sequel series’ – but in actuality, they’re all seasons of a singular show just branded slightly differently to reflect each season’s different tone and style. Here’s the best way to watch all of Gintama in order: Gintama episodes 1 - 57 Gintama: The Movie (this serves as a remake of episodes 58 - 61) Gintama episodes 62 - 201 Gintama’ episodes 1 - 51 Gintama’ Enchousen episodes 1 - 53 Gintama: The Movie: The Final Chapter: Be Forever Yorozuya Gintama° episodes 1 - 51 Gintama. episodes 1 - 12 Gintama.: …

description: When will we be going back to the castle?
encoded: It's almost time to return to one of Netflix's most popular anime franchises, Castlevania, in the form of Castlevania: Nocturne season 2! The hype is building even more with the recent release of a new trailer, as fans wait to see what's in store for Richter and the vampire hunters. For one thing, co-showrunner Kevin Kolde recently told Tudum that season 2 features "the biggest, craziest Castlevania fight scene ever", which is quite the promise given what has preceded it. This new season will see Richter and co joined by Alucard, as they race to stop Erzsebet Báthory's dark and terrible plans for the world. The series is loosely based on the popular Castlevania games, and like its predecessor has been praised for its visual style and its willingness to lean into some pretty gnarly violence. But when will season 2 be releasing on Netflix, and what can fans expect? Read on for everything we know about Castlevania: Nocturne season 2. Castlevania: Nocturne season 2 release date It was confirmed in December 2024 that the second season of Castlevania: Nocturne would debut on Thursday 16th January 2025. Seeing as the original Castlevania series was widely acclaimed as one of the best anime projects Netflix had produced in a while, and thanks to the rave reviews of the first season, Netflix officially announced on 6th October 2023 that Castlevania: Nocturne would be returning for a second season. The show was initially announced to be in development on Deadline on 16th April 2021, with reports stating that the show would be set during the French Revolution and would feature new characters, rather than continuing with the original troupe from Castlevania. Almost a full year later, at Netflix's 2022 Geeked Week, the title was unveiled as Castlevania: Nocturne. Another year later, we had the official cast announcement on 27th July 2023, and finally, the first season of Castlevania: Nocturne released onto Netflix 28th September 2023. This second season is arriving around 16 mon…

"Their battle, especially in Revolution, encapsulates every theme of Masters of the Universe: magic vs technology, good vs evil, self-empowerment vs duty to others. It’s all there in every punch." Masters of the Universe: Revolution cast – Who's returning?

description: Peter Lord recently spoke to RadioTimes.com about the history of Aardman Animations.
encoded: When it comes to iconic Aardman Animations characters, after Wallace & Gromit, Shaun the Sheep isn’t far behind. First introduced in the Wallace & Gromit short A Close Shave back in 1996, Shaun had his first full solo outing in 2007, with the first season of his self-titled spin-off show. Since then, there have been over 150 episodes, two movies, an adorable spin-off - Timmy Time - for toddlers, video games and live theatre. Shaun has even been to space, having been one of the lucky passengers on Artemis 1 back in 2022, as part of the European Space Agency's work. While it’s clear now how remarkably universal the fusion of Aardman’s warm humour with the everyday farmyard antics is, not everyone was sure that the studio could pull off the strong, silent approach in the beginning. Speaking exclusively to RadioTimes.com during a recent in-depth chat about the studio's 50-year history, Aardman co-founder Peter Lord revealed that not everyone was sure about the mischievous mute sheep at the beginning. Read more: Wallace & Gromit creators look back on 5 decades of Aardman Animations Chicken Run sequel director explains hidden Wallace & Gromit reference "There were naysayers with Shaun the Sheep," he explained. "There were people that said, 'You can’t make a series without any words, you know, that’s not possible.' "And then subsequently they said, 'You can’t make a movie with characters that don’t say any words!' And in both cases, we did, and people loved it." According to the Science and Media Museum, Shaun the Sheep has actually gone on to become Aardman’s most successful animated character in the history of the company, having been broadcast in over 170 different countries, while stage shows of the farm have been put on in the likes of Cairo, Saudi Arabia and Qatar. In Japan, an exhibition set within the world of Shaun the Sheep garnered over 30,000 people in just five days. Little sheep, big audience.

description: Nick Park and Peter Lord discuss the studio's legacy as its latest film Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget arrives on Netflix.
encoded: 'Is Aardman running out of clay?' was the worry on every British person's mind not too long after a Daily Telegraph report came out claiming such a horror – fortunately, the fears of a clay drought weren't entirely founded. "It is true that we heard that production was going to cease so we basically just stockpiled," Peter Lord laughs during an exclusive interview with RadioTimes.com. "We stockpiled! So wherever you go around the studio, there's piles of modelling clay wherever you look." As Lord explains, the clay houses Aardman are in touch with are developing vats of clay by the 100 kilos, and while they do need some clay, their heroes' pint-sized appearances mean it's much less than you'd expect. "I mean... how many chickens are there in Dawn of the Nugget? I think it's around 300 or something. So it's not a very, very large number." The animation studio was co-founded in 1972 by Peter Lord and David Sproxton, with little plasticine bundle of joy Morph bouncing into the world in 1977. When you watch the early one-minute Morph shorts, everything Aardman has come to be known for is right there – its universal, charming humour anchored by a character with such vivid humanity it truly feels alive. In that same year, Aardman created Down and Out for the BBC – its first foray into adult animation, using vox pop recordings and animating them – the Animated Conversations and Conversation Pieces series would lay the groundwork for the iconic Creature Comforts, yet another idea with infinite steam to keep going, as Park agrees: "The joy of Creature Comforts is that it's the sort of thing that can run and run, as we will never run out of people to interview." All of this tinkering with adult animation led Aardman to a most unexpected place: 1980s Yugoslavia. "We visited a festival in Zagreb, and everything [animated] there was designed for an adult audience," says Lord. "That was an absolute revelation for us. From then on, we knew about this world, and it became part of o…

It's been a long time coming, as well, with the news of Netflix's upcoming anime, Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, first being announced back in January 2022. Well now, fans of Bryan Lee O'Malley's acclaimed graphic novel series and Edgar Wright's cult movie will be elated that the franchise is getting a brand new iteration in the world of anime and even better – the entire cast are reprising their roles (this time as voice actors). Director Edgar Wright revealed that he floated the idea of the cast's return in a simple email with the subject line “Scott Pilgrim… to be continued?” to the 2010 cast. “Hearing the actors play their parts again was emotional, heartwarming, and hilarious,” Wright told Netflix. “We’re giving them an opportunity to revisit something that meant a lot to them, but they also are bringing their years of experience, their perspective on these characters, and it leads to awesome stuff.” Of course, that means that Michael Cera will be reprising his lead role as Scott while the rest of the cast includes the likes of both Captains Marvel and America themselves, Brie Larson and Chris Evans. Fans were recently treated to their first glimpses of the cast in the the official trailer and opening credits, which were also released on YouTube. It's no secret that the cast of the 2010 film clearly enjoyed working on it, having taken part in previous 10th anniversary events for the film including a table read-through, but to have everyone back for this project shows just how beloved the film was not just by fans but by everyone involved.

description: There's a lot to learn about this heroine.
encoded: When it comes to Attack on Titan, there are three big names everyone needs to know. There's Eren Yeager, the protagonist turned main villain of the series, Armin Arlert, the noble soldier of the troupe, and, finally, there's none other than Mikasa Ackerman, the best soldier in the 104th Training Corps. Mikasa serves as one of the most important characters throughout Attack on Titan, in no small part due to her connection with Eren and, of course, due to her near-perfect skills as a soldier. With Attack on Titan season 4 part 3 special 2 having just premiered, and the series having finished once and for all with Mikasa playing a crucial role in the anime's ending, here's everything you need to know about Mikasa. Who is Mikasa to Eren In Attack on Titan? Mikasa has somewhat of a tragic backstory, with her parents being murdered in a robbery gone wrong at a very young age. If that wasn't bad enough, she's kidnapped by the same robber-murderers that killed her parents, leaving none other than Eren Yeager to come to her rescue. The pair have a complicated relationship with a very long shadow of death looming over them, having begun when Eren killed the two robbers holding Mikasa, and Mikasa shortly returning the favour when the third robber gets the upper hand on young Eren. This incident is actually where Mikasa gets her iconic scarf, a gift from Eren that she treasures forever onward. From that point on, Mikasa is adopted into Eren's family as his adoptive sister, devoting much of her career and life to the protection of Eren - she both idolises him and is infatuated with him, making their connection even more complicated. What is Mikasa's military history? Eren, Mikasa and Armin are all compelled to join up to the 104th Training Corps after the events of the Wall Maria destruction. Mikasa quickly masters the vertical maneuvering equipment and goes on to become the top ranked graduate in her class - she also is instrumental in ensuring that Eren passes the qualifying t…

They've been around for a long, long time - from the masters of such tales including Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai and Ran to more recent additions like Takashi Miike's 13 Assassins, Sucker Punch's Ghost of Tsushima and more, these knights are fabled for their incredible agility, strength and, most of all, mystery. It's no surprise, then, that Netflix are looking to sharpen their already razor-sharp animation slate, as Blue Eye Samurai has landed onto Netflix with a sharp swipe, boasting some heavyweight creatives and top talent cast behind the voices. Here's everything we know about Blue Eye Samurai, including cast announcements, release dates and trailers. Blue Eye Samurai release date The series was first announced on Variety on 9th October 2020 as part of the first projects signed with an overall deal with writer and producer Michael Green, which also revealed he and Amber Noizumi would be co-showrunning the series.

You may still be reeling from some of the finale's biggest surprises - we certainly are - and, of course, having such a monumental anime come to its final close has seen original series creator Hajime Isayama reflecting on the legacy of the titan manga and anime. One of the biggest points of contention leading up to the show's finale was undoubtedly the ending - was Isayama going to stick to what he had originally written in the manga's final chapter? Or would it be a significant break and take us down a new conclusion entirely? Speaking to the New York Times, creator Isayama explained: "The truth is, the situation with Eren actually overlaps in a certain sense with my own story with this manga. When I first started the series, I was worried that it would probably be cancelled. "It was a work that no one knew about. But I had already started the story with the ending in mind. And the story ended up being read and watched by an incredible number of people, and it led to me being given a huge power that I didn't quite feel comfortable with." When Isayama ended the manga back on 9th April 2021, it was an incredibly divisive finale, so much so that Isayama even had to put out a public statement in response to the fans' passionate response on his Instagram. Reflecting back on that now, he continued by saying: "It would have been nice if I could have changed the ending. Writing manga is supposed to be freeing. "But if I was completely free, then I should have been able to change the ending. I could have changed it and said I wanted to go in a different direction. "But the fact is that I was tied down to what I had originally envisioned when I was young. And so, manga became a very restrictive art form for me, similar to how the massive powers that Eren acquired ended up restricting him." While it's pretty conclusive that there won't be a…

encoded: Despite having just finished the Wano Country Arc, it seems that One Piece isn't taking its foot off the gas. The latest episode of One Piece, titled The World Will Burn! The Onslaught of a Navy Admiral, delved into the fallout after the fight between Kaido and Big Mom, alongside Luffy's Gear 5 upgrade. While the anime has been mostly focused on that epic confrontation between the would-be Pirate King and the dragon warrior, these recent episodes have been side-stories of sorts showing us what's been going on in the interim. This has included the reveal of the four new Emperors of the Sea alongside the now astronomically high bounty placed on the gang of 3 billion+ berries. However, the most surprising reveal has undoubtedly been the return of a fan-favorite character to the colourful animated seas. The episode showed none other than Red-Haired Shanks himself, Luffy's inspirational hero, returning to see just what Luffy has made of himself - and being quite impressed by the youngster's legacy too. We get a touching flashback which shows a toddler Luffy and a seemingly younger Shanks enjoying themselves atop a hill as the sun sets in front of the pair.

These flashbacks initially make us think that maybe a Shanks/Luffy team-up is on the cards, only for Shanks to realize that Luffy is no longer the kid he looked after - he's the new competition in town.

description: This Astro Boy spin-off is sure to make a planet-sized impact.
encoded: Before there was My Hero Academia, Attack on Titan, Dragon Ball Z and even Pokémon, there was Astro Boy. Widely regarded as the first popular Japanese animation that embodied the aesthetic that would go on to be coined as 'anime' all over the world, the original manga, written by Osamu Tezuka, appeared in 1952 and ran until 1968, soon becoming a national - then global - sensation. Astro Boy stands as one of the most successful manga and anime of all time, having sold over 100 million copies, the 1963 anime series becoming acclaimed in not just Japan but also the USA. So it's no surprise that Pluto, a spin-off of Astro Boy created by Naoki Urasawa and Takashi Nagasaki, long-time fans of the original robotic boy adventures, has finally been picked up for an anime adaptation - and by Netflix, no less. The series is noticeably darker than the more upbeat and outwardly heroic exploits of Astro Boy, unafraid of delving to the dark side of the world's robotics industry and the cybernetic beings that it has created. Pluto has since released onto Netflix and received critical acclaim by fans and critics alike, which means that we're likely to get a second season of the robot boy anime. Read on to learn everything we know about Pluto, including a release date, trailer and cast announcements. Pluto release date Netflix surprised Astro Boy fans on 14th February 2023 with the announcement that they would be producing an animated series based on the hit manga PLUTO, based on the creations of Urasawa and Nagasaki. Speaking about the series, Urasawa is clearly excited for fans to dive into what they've managed to create: "I applaud the courage of everyone that has taken on the challenge of making an anime based on Pluto. "I am excited about the birth of this new series to win over people's hearts. I hope that now, more than ever, Osamu Tezuka's message reaches the world." Since then, Pluto season 1 launched onto Netflix on 26th October 2023, and is available to watch in its 8-episo…

Fans have been on the edge of their seats for quite a while, after the revelation that the fourth season would be stretched across three years, each instalment becoming smaller as they went on. If the idea of jumping into Attack on Titan feels a little daunting, worry not, because we've got you covered. Are you a mega-fan who's hungry to know all the details around season 4 part 3? We've got that, too. But if you want to know if Attack on Titan is really, truly finished, read on to find out everything we know. Is Attack on Titan finished? Yes... and no, surprisingly. From the perspective of the anime, Attack on Titan is one episode away from finishing forever. The fourth and final season, set four years after Eren and his friends learn the truth about their world, has been split into three parts so far. The last chapter, Attack on Titan season 4 part 3, is being released as two specials, with the first released on 3rd March 2023. The final ever part of Attack on Titan will arrive on 4th November 2023 at midnight in Japan. However, from the perspective of the manga, there has been a surprising development. Despite having ended officially on 9th April 2021, on 6th October 2023 there was the surprise announcement that the Attack on Titan manga will receive a surprise 35th volume that will accompany the illustrated artbook Attack on Titan Fly. The final, final chapter is set to release on 30th April 2024, and will have 18 pages of story to ensure AoT fans get one last hit before the series is over for good. Is Attack on Titan Season 4 Part 3 the end? Attack on Titan season 4 part 3 is indeed the end for the long-running anime, which originally began a whole decade earlier on 7th April 2013. Since then, we've had 88 episodes over 10 years, with season 4 being by far the longest season, having begun on 7th December 2020 and only now just ending on 5th November 2023.

description: We could be in for something special.
encoded: When it comes to adapting anime to live-action, there's unfortunately not the best of track records. One need only look at the likes of The Last Airbender, Dragonball Evolution, Death Note and Ghost in the Shell to recognise that it takes more than just taking a brilliantly told story in anime form and translating it across (though it's worth noting, all of these adaptations are American.) However, in recent years, there has been an uptick in successful anime to live-action adaptations, which includes James Cameron's Alita: Battle Angel, and perhaps the best modern example, Netflix's first season of One Piece which has received widespread acclaim and extreme demand for a second season (which may be arriving sooner than you think). Considering the incredible popularity of Attack on Titan, not to mention its long-running nature, has there ever been an attempt to bring the larger-than-life Titans into the real world? It may surprise you, but not only has it been done before, but there's another attempt on the world. Here's everything we know about a live-action Attack on Titan movie. Is there a live-action Attack on Titan? Yes, in fact, there are technically two live-action Attack on Titan films. We say technically because, actually, it's one movie divided into two parts – but since they're both feature-length, it's essentially two different movies, similar to Infinity War and Endgame. The first part was released on 14th July 2015 while the second film, which received the subtitle End of the World, released later that same year on 19th September 2015. The reviews of the two-part adaptation were mixed. There was clear praise for the skilful translation of the Titans' unsettling design to reality, alongside the decision to give the films a more B-movie style, but the changes implemented by series creator Hajime Isayama were criticised as unnecessary and detracting from the great story they had from the start. Are the Attack on Titan live-action films the same as the anim…

description: Belmonts to the rescue!
encoded: Warning: Full spoilers ahead for Castlevania: Nocturne. Since Netflix's initial announcement of Castlevania: Nocturne back in 2022, fans have been dying to sink their teeth into the latest blood-filled instalment of the hit anime universe. Finally we got to explore the rollercoaster ride of Richter Belmont's quest to prevent the end of the world at the hands of Erzsebet Báthory and Drolta Tzuentes, two chillingly evil vampire warriors that have given Simon's encounter with Dracula in the original series a real run for its money. There's a lot packed into the final episode of Castlevania: Nocturne, 'Devourer of Light', setting up a potential season 2 with a big introduction in the episode's closing moments that is sure to drive fans wild with speculation as to how Nocturne could continue. Castlevania Nocturne ending explained: What happens to Erzsebet and Drolta? As teased by the show's synopsis, the mysterious 'Vampire Messiah' is none other than Erzsebet Báthory, based on the real-life Hungarian noblewoman and murderer of a similar name. There is also a character that resembles Erzsebet in Castlevania: Bloodlines, but ultimately Erzsebet is a whole new creation for Nocturne. Erzsebet seems set on following through with her promise to 'eat the sun', drinking the blood of none other than Sekhmet the Egyptian Goddess of war and medicine, but more notably, none other than the daughter of Ra, god of light, the sun, power. You name it, he ruled over it. This allows her to become the aforementioned 'Devourer of Light' understandably putting Richter, Tera, Mizrak and Annette on the back-foot when it comes to defeating her. From there, she begins to wreck havoc on the town with her right-hand woman Drolta leading a nightmarish army of vampires and night creatures through the town, hunting down the quartet of heroes. Does Maria Renard die? By this time, we now know that Abbot Emmanuel, Maria's father, has formed an uneasy alliance with the vampires and is creating the night …

Is Castlevania: Nocturne a sequel? Netflix's new anime explained

description: Things may not be as clear as they seem.
encoded: When Netflix released Castlevania onto the service back in 2017, it made waves throughout both the anime and gaming communities. Based on the popular games Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse and Castlevania: Curse of Darkness, the anime was widely acclaimed for its rich visual style, dipping heavily into the Gothic overtones of the original games, alongside its willingness to lean into some pretty gnarly violence with a beautiful score as the cherry on top of what was already quite an accomplished vision. The show went on to have three equally successful seasons, although it stumbled a little in the final season, generating a somewhat divisive reception based on the pacing as it reached its final episodes. However, that hasn't stopped Netflix from seeing the value in keeping the Castlevania train going, as Castlevania: Nocturne is right around the corner. This has led many fans to wonder though - is Castlevania: Nocturne a sequel series, or is it something else entirely? Read on to find out everything we know about the show, including whether or not you need to have watched Castlevania first. Is Castlevania: Nocturne a sequel to Castlevania? Yes and no. The original Castlevania series wrapped up relatively nice compared to a lot of other anime series - most of the bad guys got 'fixed', most of the good guys lived to see another day and it was as close to a 'happy ever after' tale that you could get from a Castlevania-related TV show. It's also worth noting that the events in Castlevania are set in the mid 1470s, whereas Castlevania: Nocturne is set to take place during the French Revolution, which is round about 300 years later, give or take. While we are talking about near-immortal beings like vampires here, given that most of the vamps that popped up in Castlevania were vanquished, leaving the (very mortal) humans left as possible returning characters, it seems quite unlikely that we'll be seeing anyone from Castlevania - though, there might be one or two. However, …

description: Get ready to set sail all over again.
encoded: Have you just finished the first season of Netflix's One Piece and are desperate for another pirate adventure? Well, never fear! Netflix has just confirmed that the series has been renewed for a second season. The announcement came from the official One Piece X account, and none other than One Piece creator himself, Eiichiro Oda... via a Den Den Mushi transponder. "Two weeks after the launch, I just received some great news... Netflix has decided to renew the show!" Oda mentioned one of the pivotal reasons for the series's renewal is the global response to the first season: "It seems people around the world have been enjoying the show, which makes the hard work from the production team truly worth it." However, it's worth noting that while season 2 has been confirmed, it might take a while to come to our screens: "The adventures of Iñaki and the live-action Straw Hats will continue onward! "It'll still take a while to get the scripts ready, so please be patient. From here on, it seems to me the Straw Hats will need a great doctor... We will see," Oda said. And, of course, just like how season 1 ended, the video message gave us a little tease as to who we can expect to pop up in season 2: none other than famed doctor of the seas, Chopper. View Green Video on the source website Although series creator Eiichiro Oda mentioned that the scripts would take a while to "get ready", One Piece's producers explained that the story for the second season is actually there to shoot as soon as the ongoing WGA and SAG strikes are concluded. In an interview with Variety, they gave hope to fans that a second season of adventure may not be years away: "Realistically, hopefully, a year away, if we move very quickly, and that is a possibility." One Piece is available to stream on Netflix. Sign up for Netflix from £4.99 a month. Netflix is also available on Sky Glass and Virgin Media Stream.
