New Akira Anime Series Announced with New Movie from Akira Creator
Katsuhiro Otomo, the creator of the iconic manga and animated film, Akira, is set to produce a new anime series adaptation of the story.
Sunrise Inc. announced the project during a panel at the Los Angeles Anime Expo and, in addition to the new Akira animated series adaptation, a new film and an Otomo anthology were announced.
"Orbital Era," Otomo's newly-announced sci-fi action-adventure film, is set in the near future and will tell the story of a group of young boys who live on a space colony which is still being constructed. The plot revolves around their lives and their environment as they are "tossed around by fate." Orbital Era is currently in production, and Otomo is responsible for the original concept, screenplay, as well as design works and direction, with animation production by Sunrise Inc.
New Animated Pokemon Movie Revealed for 2020
At the end of the Pokemon: Mewtwo Strikes Back - Evolution premiere at Anime Expo 2019, a short post-credits teaser revealed that a new animated Pokemon movie is on the way in 2020.
The teaser showcased Pikachu in a forest in what looked like an animation style similar to Pokemon the Series: Sun & Moon with the 2020 reveal at the end. It was only a super short teaser though, so the actual movie’s animation could be in a different style. At the very least, we know the 2020 Pokemon movie won’t be done in CG like Pokemon: Mewtwo Strikes Back - Evolution. No other specific details were given.
Pokemon: Mewtwo Strikes Back - Evolution premieres in Japan on July 12. You can see how the change to CG transforms the first Pokemon movie in the video above. For more on Pokemon, be sure to check out the 22 things we learned about Pokemon Sword and Shield at E3 2019.

The news comes after rumours of MAD Magazine being closed down entirely, but sources tell The Hollywood Reporter that the magazine will still continue, but only as a best-of collection of previously published material, rather than all-new issues each month.

Stranger Things hasn't had a particularly high body count among its regular cast members throughout its first two seasons (sorry, Barb and Bob), which led many fans to speculate that one or more main characters might die in Season 3 - but after the Season 3 finale, we've got a lot of questions about one of our heroes in particular...
Does Stranger Things Season 3 Have a Post-Credits Scene?
Nowadays, post-credits scenes are as common as the superhero movies that popularized them, and even TV shows are getting in on the action.
Despite the fact that Season 1 and Season 2 of Stranger Things didn't contain any bonus scenes, Stranger Things Season 3 does include a post-credits (or technically mid-credits) scene after the finale ends, so when you start to see snow floating across the credits, don't click away or let Netflix autoplay whatever's next on your list, since there's a fairly major reveal halfway through that seems to set up Season 4.

Reference to a PC version of Red Dead Redemption 2 has been found in the source code for Rockstar’s Social Club.
Discovered by Twitter user JakoMako51, the source code contains the phrase “RDR2_PC_Accomplishments”. Accomplishments are the Social Club equivalent of Xbox Achievements and PlayStation Trophies, and the system was used for Grand Theft Auto 5.
We’d expect a Red Dead Redemption 2 PC version to use Accomplishments, too, and so this discovery is a potential hint to the fact that Rockstar’s hit Western may be on its way to PC.
Sony Reportedly Has Two More Solo Spider-Man Movies in the Works
