In Eiichiro Oda’s One Piece, a number of characters are shrouded in mystery, and the most popular name that resonates with this idea is the Captain of the Red-Hair Pirates, Shanks. When he was first introduced in the series, fans fell in love with him and wanted to see more of him.

However, very little of him was shown, and fans did not know much about him. Though the series was flawless, fans had one reason for criticism: they wanted to see more of the Yonko. Interestingly, from the Wano Arc, Oda-Sensei features more of him following Luffy’s victory against Kaido.

Sadly, that is bad news for the fans of the grand series because the manga artist of the series has commented on the regular appearances of Monkey D. Luffy’s mentor. Sadly, it is not exciting, as it means that Oda-Sensei...

The most powerful pirates in One Piece, the Four Emperors of the Sea, recently saw a big change when Buggy and Luffy grabbed the spot of Kaido and Big Mom as the new Yonkos. While they are making their way to the One Piece treasure, they still have a lot of powerful opponents to face, and one of them is Red-Haired Shanks, the captain of the Red-Haired Pirates.

Shanks’ strength as an Emperor is defined by the fact that he is the longest-running Yonko who has yet to face a defeat in the series. As of now, he is the strongest Haki user of the current era, and this was recently witnessed when he took down Eustass Kid and his crew with just one attack. But that attack had a lot of significance behind it.

Fans might have noticed that the attack that...

Former Endor Productions Managing Director Carlo Dusi has set up British indie Turning Point with backing from Canada’s Shaftesbury.

Turning Point will reunite Dusi with Endor colleagues Jennifer McConnell, who is Creative Director, and Molly Scull, who becomes Development Executive. The business also launches with several Endor projects, with “many in paid development with broadcasters and studios” and several newer development projects initiated since Turning Point’s launch.

The Seven.One Studios-backed Endor had closed its doors in June in the face of the tough market conditions facing production companies.

For Shaftesbury, the undisclosed investment comes three years after it landed backing from AMC Studios to expand in the international market. Christina Jennings’ Canadian prodco and distributor is best known for shows such as Murdoch Mysteries, Departure and Hudson & Rex.

“I am thrilled to build on the fantastic collaboration that Jen, Molly and I have enjoyed over the past two years,...

The devastating crash of the Swissair Flight 111 in 1998 will be retold in a feature project that just started shooting, and is produced by Zurich-based C-Films Ag and Nova Scotia’s Auguste Content.

Yoshihiro Togashi’s Hunter x Hunter is one of the most popular manga and anime series. It has become a name that has transcended the borders of Japan, becoming a massive series all around the world. While the series is generally praised for its plot and action sequences, the voice actors did a fabulous job of breathing life into the characters.

Everyone has done a magnificent job, but one name has resonated quite well with the fans. It’s none other than Daisuke Namikawa, who voiced Hisoka in the Shonen series. His work has received an immense following, as he has been nicknamed The Voice of Weird.

However, much to the surprise of the fans, Namikawa-San has also voiced two fan-favorite characters from The Big Three. Interestingly, all three characters have one thing in common: they are all unstable, and their actions would make your skin crawl.

There are several fan theories surrounding Roronoa Zoro’s true ability. In One Piece Volume 105 Sbs, Eiichiro Oda confirmed the Straw Hat swordsman is a descendant of the Shimotsuki clan. Even though his parents are yet to be revealed, he has had several meetings with strong people who belonged to Wano.

Even after much research, Oda has kept the swordsman’s true nature a mystery. He has been called a demon/monster on countless occasions. Even his latest blade and most potent move is named after the residence of demons, Hell. A notable scene in Zoro vs. King’s battle proves he might actually be the demon.

One Piece is one of the most successful anime ever. It has been going on for more than two decades, yet its fanbase seems to increase every second. Eiichiro Oda’s magnum opus follows the journey of Monkey D. Luffy, who wants to become the king of the pirates. One of the best things about One Piece is that it often gives birth to new mysteries that keep the audiences on the edge of their seats.

Most of the time, the answers are hidden in plain sight, but Eiichiro Oda’s brilliant storytelling makes it difficult to see. It often leads to the creation of fan theories. One such fan theory that recently had the One Piece fandom thinking was about a particular noble who is an ally to the Straw Hat Pirates, yet none of them knew about his real identity.

Denjiro Might Be Hiding A Big Secret In...

Spoiler Alert !!!The following article has spoilers for One Piece Episode 1112!

Eiichiro Oda’s One Piece continues to surprise the world as its latest episode, 1112, decided to feature one of the coldest storylines in the entire series. The episode featured the long-awaited rematch between Eustass Kid and Red-Haired Shanks, where the latter defeated his foe as well as his crew with a single strike.

While the Captain of the Kid Pirates displayed his strength against Red-Hair’s fleet, the overwhelming strength and Haki of one of the Conquerors of the Sea were too much for him. Hence, he brought his adventure on the Grand Line to an end.

Some fans were content with how Oda-Sensei decided to bid farewell to one of the most notorious names from The Worst Generation. However, others have started to draw theories about how Shanks...

Much of Eiichiro Oda’s One Piece is centered on Monkey D. Luffy and his Straw Hat Pirate crew going on a fantastical adventure on the Grand Line. However, the Shonen series does not focus primarily on its main characters, as over its long run, Oda-Sensei has featured several mysteries around its characters.

One of the most sought-after mysteries revolving around the anime and manga series is The Will of D. The characters with these initials are notorious figures tirelessly hunted by the Marines. While characters like Ace, Dragon, Garp, Saul, and many more flaunt the letter in their names, Trafalgar D. Water Law prefers to hide the letter from his name.

Though fans initially assumed that he preferred to have negligent attention and did not want the Marine on his tail, it turns out that he prefers to hide the letter for a very different reason.

If on a random day, Eiichiro Oda confirmed Crocodile to be Luffy’s mother, no One Piece fan would find themselves to be surprised. The theory has been one that fans have found themselves pondering over for the longest time. Out of all the secrets the author has been hiding, one about Luffy’s mother has gotten every fan to scratch their head.

His father has been an active figure of the story for a long time but even the mention of his mother seems to be slim. As a result, the theory of Crocodile being Luffy’s mom made a surprising surge in popularity. It isn’t just something about his being Luffy’s mother that may be interesting but rather what compelled him to allegedly change his gender in the first place.

Hayao Miyazaki is considered to be the greatest storyteller of this generation, known for his iconic anime movies that have taken him and his Studio Ghibli to the top of the world. His notable works like Spirited Away, Ponyo, and his recent Academy Award-winning project The Boy and the Heron have earned him global fame.

However, one of his older works is still considered to be Miyazaki-San’s magnum opus; it is none other than Princess Mononoke, which was released in theaters back in 1997! The movie was one of the biggest names, as it became the highest-grossing film in Japan that year.

Interestingly, the film still captivates the otaku community as it continues to bloom and feature complex themes with unforgettable storytelling in medieval Japan during the 14th century.

HBO’s The Leftovers starts with 2 percent of the world’s population suddenly disappearing for reasons unexplained — and the plot just gets more bizarre from there. Created by Damon Lindelof and Tom Perrotta — and based on Perrotta’s novel of the same name — The Leftovers starred Justin Theroux, Christoper Eccleston, Carrie Coon, and Amy Brenneman, among others, as the ones left behind when the Sudden Departure strikes. The series debuted on June 29, 2014, and ran for three critically acclaimed seasons, topping critics’ year-end lists of top 10 TV shows more than 20 times. And as The Leftovers attests, there’s no telling what will happen after one of every 50 persons on this planet — and three out of four Perfect Strangers cast members — vanish into thin air. Some people want to be (non-fatally shot) in the chest. Some opt for orgies aboard ferries. And some start heralding the return of Gary Busey. Here are...

Not only will sci-fi/Monsterverse fans get another season of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, Apple TV+ has announced multiple Monarch spinoffs are in the works. Monarch: Legacy of Monsters has officially been renewed for season two, but doesn’t yet have a targeted premiere date.

Apple TV+’s announcement did not provide details on the number of spinoffs or plots.

Exclusive: Tye White (American Auto) and Jason O’Mara (The Man in the High Castle) are set for key recurring roles on the upcoming second season of CBS drama series Fire Country.

The drama stars Max Thieriot as Bode Donovan, a young convict seeking redemption and a shortened prison sentence by joining a prison release firefighting program in Northern California, where he and other inmates are partnered with elite firefighters to extinguish massive, unpredictable wildfires across the region. It’s a high-risk, high-reward assignment, and the heat is turned up when Bode is assigned to the program in his rural hometown, where he was once a golden all-American son – until his troubles began. Five years ago, Bode burned down everything in his life, leaving town with a big secret. Now he’s back, with the rap sheet of a criminal and the audacity to believe in a chance for redemption with Cal Fire.

Monarch: Legacy of Monsters is a monster television series created by Chris Black, who also developed the series with Matt Fraction. The Apple TV+ series is based on Godzilla and serves as the sixth installment in the MonsterVerse. It revolves around the members of an organization called Monarch and it spans over three generations and almost half a decade. The main story follows the events after Godzilla and MUTOs epic battle in 2015 that destroyed San Francisco.

The new Apple TV+ series will finally shed light on the mysterious Monarch organization, and with that, we will also see how humans reacted to the discovery of Titans and how they continue to react.

“Monarch: Legacy of Monsters” — the live-action series based on Legendary’s MonsterVerse — premieres this month.

If you’re a fan of the Titan (giant monster) film franchise that began with 2014’s “Godzilla” and includes 2017’s “Kong: Skull Island,” 2019’s “Godzilla: King of the Monsters” and 2021’s “Godzilla vs. Kong,” you’ll want to dive in this generation-spanning series that explores the past, present and future of Monarch.

The official description for the Apple TV+ series reads:

Following the thunderous battle between Godzilla and the Titans that leveled San Francisco, and the shocking revelation that monsters are real, “Monarch: Legacy of Monsters” tracks two siblings following in their father’s footsteps to uncover their family’s connection to the secretive organization known as Monarch.

Befuddlement, of course, is one of Alan’s defining traits and right now he is unable to figure out: A) how he got here in the first place; B) whether he’s already been through this pantomimic ordeal once before; or C) if the studio audience currently snickering away hyena-like in the darkness even exists. More importantly, though, he has no recollection whatsoever of penning another book.

You see, he’s been suffering from crippling writer’s block for the past few years and, as far as he can tell,...

Season three of international thriller drama series Departure, headlined by Archie Panjabi, has begun production in St. John’s, Newfoundland and Toronto. Will & Grace alum Eric McCormack has joined the series, produced by Shaftesbury in association with Corus Entertainment, Starlings Television and Red Arrow Studios International.

Departure, whose existing two seasons are streaming on Peacock, was renewed for a third season by Canadian network Global in May. Peacock picked up Seasons 1 and 2, which also starred the late Christopher Plummer, after screening them so it is too early to say if the streamer will also take in Season 3.

Created by Vincent Shiao, with Jackie May serving as showrunner and Canadian Screen Award winner T.J. Scott as director, Departure centers on the mystery of The Queen of the Narrows ferry, destined for St. John’s Newfoundland, which sinks in record time with many of its 500 passangers on board.

Since 2011, the Edinburgh Film Festival’s Talent Lab has nurtured a number of rising filmmakers through an assortment of masterclasses, workshops and individual mentoring sessions: Talents like Ben Sharrock (“Limbo”), Eva Riley (a recent winner BIFA winner for “Perfect 10”) and Rob Savage (“Host”) are alumni of the program. In 2019, however, the program yielded the Talent Lab Connects offshoot, in which a smaller selection of writers, directors and producers are given the chance to develop specific feature film or series projects with a range of industry mentors.

Now in its third year — and its second of the program taking place online — the program will be headed again by renowned U.K. script editor Kate Leys, whose recent credits include Simon Amstell’s “Benjamin,” Bart Layton’s “American Animals” and John Maclean’s “Slow West.”
