The conflict in Joko Anwar’s Nightmares and Daydreams was presented as a battle between humans on Earth and the monsters from the mythological underworld realm of Agartha. As per the lore of the series, Agarthans were created along with humans, but for some reason, the Agarthans were relegated to a place underneath the surface of the earth, called the hollow Earth. Since then, they’ve been growing envious of humans and have been trying to find ways to consume or enslave them. As things like financial crises, homelessness, and food scarcity plagued humankind, it became easier for the Agarthans to pick humans apart and occupy positions of influence in society. That said, there was one character who neither emulated the characteristics of the Agarthans nor the humans. That’s right! I’m talking about Syafin.
Spoiler Alert
Syafin appeared in the second episode of Nightmares and Daydreams, which is titled The Orphan,...

The recent narrative of One Piece, which features the Egghead Island arc, has put a special focus on weapons that may prove to be a significant factor in the final saga. From the Iron Giant to the Mother Flame, every weaponized element holds a lot of importance, and the characters who could control them would lead the battle.
The Seraphim – One Piece | Viz Media
Among these weapons, the most unique ones are the Pacifista human weapons, also known as the Seraphim. They are modified humans designed to replace the seven Warlords of the Sea, and because of this, the Seraphim are significant clones of every Warlord in One Piece. They are considered the ultimate weapon of destruction.
However, these Seraphim may have a weakness that was probably introduced by Dr. Vegapunk to turn the tide against the World Government in One Piece. This weakness could very well make Seraphim unstable...

The portrayal of female characters in prominent anime series like Naruto and One Piece has always been a subject of discussion among anime fans. The mangas, being a part of the Shonen genre, have always been blamed for either overly sexualizing the female characters in the series or not giving them enough background or storyline to highlight their importance.
Sakura Haruno | Studio Pierrot
Both One Piece and Naruto have faced these allegations, but according to the overall narrative, One Piece might triumph over Naruto in terms of giving their female characters enough screen time that they leave an impact on the fans. This was proved when Masashi Kishimoto, the creator of Naruto, talked about the portrayal of Sakura in the series.
The manga revealed that because Sakura was a normal girl, she didn’t have any additional storyline to add gravitas to her character, which would have marked her importance...

The Five Elders in One Piece are currently trying their best to defeat the Straw Hat Pirates and take control of Egghead Island, which will help them stop the message broadcast by Dr. Vegapunk. While stopping the message may prove to be a difficult task, the Gorosei have easily taken control of their fight against Luffy.
The Gorosei in One Piece | Viz Media
This is because of the mysterious power that grants them regeneration ability from any kind of attack, thus making them immortal. The One Piece narrative has no possible explanation for immortality except Trafalgar D. Law’s Devil Fruit. According to Doflamingo, Law’s Devil Fruit grants eternal life in exchange for the user’s life through a special surgery.
According to one theory, when Corazon stole the Devil Fruit and gave it to Law to treat his disease, he prevented one Celestial Dragon from becoming one of the Five Elders.

Keisuke Itagaki’s Baki the Grappler was probably one of the first series that redefined anime and manga fighting sequences. The battles and 1-on-1 fights in Baki were completely different from what fans had normally seen in other anime and manga series; thus, it helped the series skyrocket toward success in a very short period of time.
Baki the Grappler | Tms Entertainment
While the series became popular because of his extraordinary fights, there were some chapters that were so explicit that Weekly Shonen Champion, the publisher of Itagaki’s Baki, had to ban these chapters from being released. Although the contents of Baki are quite mature, this particular edition shocked everyone.
The scene involved the protagonist of the series, Baki, and his love interest, Kozue. The edition had an intimate interaction between the two characters, but it was so detailed and magnified that it was removed from the original manga...

Monkey D. Luffy, Trafalgar D. Water Law, Marshall D. Teach, and Gol D. Roger. The only common thing between all these One Piece characters except their roles as pirates is the initial D in their middle name. The mysterious initial signifies a Will that is associated with these characters, and its definition has multiple renditions.
Monkey D. Luffy in One Piece | Toei Animation
While some believe that the Will of D links the characters to the devil, others believe that it is a family name that has been passed down for generations. But no one knows the actual story behind it, except for Eiichiro Oda, the manga creator. Multiple theories have been devised to find out what the Will of D could be, but none of them can be termed accurate.
However, there is one theory that might shed some light on the mystery and offer a new perspective on the Will of D.

When Castlevania dropped the fourth season of the highly popular anime series, fans got to see a new side of Trevor, Sypha, and Alucard. The season was considered one of the best, as it adapted the story from the game perfectly and still managed to leave an essence that was unique to the anime series.
Castlevania Season 4 | Powerhouse Animation Studios
However, the conditions of season 4 were not at all good, as Warren Ellis, the creator and writer of Castlevania, almost got it canceled after its third season. The creator once revealed that he nearly sacrificed the entire fourth season because he wanted to change the pace of the entire season, starting from the third season.
Initially, the first two seasons had only eight episodes, but with the third season, the series upgraded the number of episodes and added two additional episodes. This was, in a way, a positive move for Castlevania,...

A healthy rivalry between manga creators is not a new thing. Especially when you are the creators of two of the Big Three. There was a time, not so long ago, when Tite Kubo and Eiichiro Oda, the biggest mangakas in the industry, were competing for the top spot. Their rivalry led to the succession of their works, Bleach and One Piece, which became industry giants.
One Piece | Toei Animation
However, this healthy rivalry may not have been good for Kubo, as the manga creator once confessed that he developed feelings of jealousy towards Oda because his One Piece manga always stood one step ahead of Bleach. He even went on to say that he hated the mangaka because of this.
But Oda, being the kind soul he is, gave the perfect response to Kubo’s comment and won the hearts of everyone. The manga creator not only confessed that...

The emotional phase of the Egghead Island arc has just started in the One Piece anime, and fans are not ready for it. One Piece episode 1106, which was released on May 25, marked the beginning of the backstory of Bartholomew Kuma and Jewelry Bonney as Bonney entered the Nikyu room and found her father’s memories.
Bonney Enter Kuma’s Memories in One Piece Anime | Toei Animation
The episode has quite a few interesting narratives, like Sentomaru ordering the new Pacifista models to defend their creator (Dr. Vegapunk) from the Navy and World Government, and Morgans announcing to the world that Dr. Vegapunk is kidnapped by the Straw Hat Pirates, and they have gotten into an all-out war with the Navy.
However, the only thing that One Piece fans cared about the most in the episode that left them in emotional turmoil was when Bonney got to see her father in his worst state.

One Piece fans are waiting for a couple of battles that will change the entire course of the story. These battles will likely take place during the final arc, and when they do, they will be some of the biggest fights in the history of anime. Among these fights, the one that fans are waiting for the most is the Zoro vs. Mihawk rematch.
Roronoa Zoro | Toei Animation
Since the beginning, Zoro has been motivated by a single ambition, which is to become the strongest swordsman in the world. For this, he has to defeat the current strongest swordsman, Dracule Mihawk. The two have fought once during the Baratie arc, and Zoro was easily defeated by Mihawk.
Ever since then, he has been training vigorously and waiting for a rematch that will once again give him a chance to finally achieve the title. While Zoro and the One Piece fans waited,...

The Gorosei have attacked with full force and the Straw Hats are having difficulty keeping the oldies at bay. Despite Luffy’s Gear 5 transformation, the battle is leaning towards the Five Elders in One Piece‘s Egghead Island arc.
In this dire situation, it is visible that another power-up is necessary to suppress the Gorosei. But since Luffy is already operating at Gear 5, a new transformation might be on its way from the swordsman of the group, Zoro.
Zoro’s Foreshadowed ‘Cutting Nothing’ Technique
Zoro could be the ultimate savior of the Straw Hats from the danger posed by the Gorosei. However, he would need to master a new ability if he wants his attacks to prove effective against such monsters.

The recent episode of the One Piece anime featured an intriguing battle between the Swordsman of the Straw Hat Pirates, Roronoa Zoro, and the mini version of the Strongest Swordsman in the world, Dracule Mihawk. Toei Animation and Eiichiro Oda blessed the fans with another epic moment of Roronoa Zoro, where he went toe to toe with the Seraphim S-Hawk.

Seraphims are based on the former Warlord of the Sea, and S-Hawk was inspired by Dracule Mihawk with some new modifications that enhance their fighting capabilities.

The rivalry between the wings (Zoro and Sanji) of the future Pirate King, Monkey D. Luffy, has always been one of the most heated discussions among One Piece fans. While one-half of the fandom is always rooting for Zoro and his achievements, the other half is always pointing out the injustice that has been done to the cook of the Straw Hat Pirates.

Greek mythology is perhaps one of the most overused settings in popular culture. It has been used everywhere from the God of War video games to movies and TV shows like Percy Jackson and the Olympians. So it's all the more amazing to see an original animated series from Netflix that manages to tell a story that's both familiar and entirely new, spiced with a fair amount of horror and gore.
Fans of high-quality animation, Greek mythology and spectacular action should not miss Blood of Zeus from the creators of Castlevania.

The young man Heron and his mother Electra live in an unnamed Greek polis. The inhabitants of the town do not like the couple: they blame them for any misfortune and sometimes try to throw stones at them.

Blood of Zeus season 1 had proven to the fans that Netflix is more than capable of making a captivating anime. Now Charles and Vlas Parlapanides return for the second season of the series. While the first season focused primarily on Heron and Zeus, their bittersweet relationship, and the wrath of Hera; the sequel season takes a major tonal shift while honoring the legacy of the King of Gods.

This article contains spoilers for Blood of Zeus season 2.
Netflix has increasingly become the top place to turn for hard-hitting adult animation and Blood of Zeus immediately made waves upon its 2020 release. The Powerhouse Animation production remixes Greek mythology into an engrossing dark fantasy that feels like God of War meets Game of Thrones. Heron, the demigod son of Zeus, embarks on a bold and bloody journey for identity, autonomy, and authority that concludes the first season on an apocalyptic note where supernatural Giants storm Olympus and challenge its Gods. Blood of Zeus season 2 reaches such extreme heights that its freshman year almost seems quaint in comparison.
Zeus’ tragic death precipitates a terrifying power vacuum that throws Olympus into unprecedented chaos and lights a fire under Hades to steal his brother’s throne and claim what he believes to be his birthright. The growing war between Hades and Zeus, and Heron and Seraphim,...

The recent success of Netflix’s original animated ventures didn’t happen overnight, and a lion’s share of the credit should go to some of the streaming service’s earliest animated titles, Castlevania and Blood of Zeus. While the first one redefines the established game lore of the same name with a quasi-historical setting and modern sensibility, Blood of Zeus depends on the age-old formula of demigod legacy, challenging the established status quo of the divine creators, inspired by legends like Perseus or Hercules.
Free from the burden of stringent adherence to a singular lore, Greek mythology is effectively a treasure trove for experimentation on character dynamics. The makers of Blood of Zeus utilized this aspect in the best possible way as they took viewers through the journey of Heron and Seraphim while navigating through the world of gods and monsters, questioning the humanity of the associated characters the whole while.

If you are an ardent fan of Greek mythology and read a plethora of books such as The Song of Achilles, Circe, Percy Jackson Series, and many more, then you surely would have enjoyed watching Netflix’s Blood of Zeus. Even though the series is based on Greek mythology and legends, it is nothing that we don’t know or haven’t read. Despite trying to stand apart from the ancient legends and myths that we are aware of, the show often falters in creating something new.
Heron, the son of Zeus
The show is full of problems, and it is only great when it adds a dark twist to the Greek legends while trying not to stray too far away from the authentic source material. However, it looks like the show is in a tight spot, as the creators, Vlas and Charley Parlapanides, open up about the repetitive aspect of the show.
