Anime Crimes Division Returns For a Second Season
Anime Crimes Division, the comedy miniseries created by Rocket Jump and Crunchyroll, is back in action with the first of six episodes airing today, September 7, at 1 PM PST on Crunchyroll.
The show stars SungWon Cho (ProZD) and Riley Rose Critchlow (Video Game High School) as they hunt down wrongdoers for anime-related crimes in Neo Otaku City. The first season was jampacked with anime references and in-jokes, like with how the first episode tackles the war on subs versus dubs. Check out IGN's exclusive video below for more on what you can expect from the second season from Anime Crimes Division's director and co-creator Freddie Wong.
The first episode of Anime Crimes Division's second season debuted at Crunchyroll Expo last weekend. New episodes of Anime Crimes Divison will be released on Crunchyroll every Friday.

6 Reasons Starlink: Battle for Atlas Could Be Space-Based Fun for Everyone
Starlink: Battle for Atlas raised more than a few eyebrows when it was announced at E3 2017, at a time when the toys-to-life genre was winding down and the conceptually similar No Man’s Sky still hadn’t completely course corrected after its underwhelming launch the year before. Yet after spending some recent hands on time with the game and its fantastic suite of plastic accessories, and chatting to key members of the Ubisoft Toronto team, I feel optimistic that Starlink: Battle for Atlas could be a spectacular space saga. Here are six reasons why it could be a success.
Starlink is much smaller in scale than No Man’s Sky. Whereas Hello Games’ interstellar survival game features more planets than any one player could possibly explore in a lifetime, Starlink features just seven planets for players to touch down on. Yet while Starlink might not have nearly as many places to visit, it seems to do a better job of giving each world a sense of place and unique characteristics, making exploration of them a more interesting and dynamic affair.

Ryan Reynolds Goes After Paddington on Twitter
Ryan Reynolds has started a war with what some might consider too great a foe. He went after Paddington Bear, and the bear himself, those involved in the making of the Paddington films, and his fans, didn't back down.
This all began when Ryan Reynolds, star of Deadpool 2, which has been nominated Best Movie and Best Action Movie at the 2018 E! People's Choice Awards, said how he was "honored by all the @peoplschioce noms." It then took a dark turn when he asked his fans to vote Deadpool 2 in for best family film, and then proceeded to go after the lovable bear.

Why Marvel’s Spider-Man’s PS4 Photo Mode Is So Great
Photo Modes have become a staple of the PlayStation 4’s exclusives library — and with a built in Share button on the controller, a staple of the console itself. None has been so bespoke — and creative — as the photo mode for Marvel’s Spider-Man.
Available Day 1 as part of a new patch, the photo mode has the standard customization options we’ve come to expect — focus changes, lighting adjustments, and filters. But Insomniac Games has taken the mode to a delightful new level, as seen in the gameplay of it above and the gallery below.
(Warning: There are some suit spoilers toward the end of the gallery — don't click through the last three or four photos if you don't want some of the suits before you play.)
