The sun sets on the first day in your new home, in a charming little village full of people you hope will one day call you friend. You’re wandering the woods and feel an unexpected sense of foreboding as a shiver snakes its way down your spine. Is it just because you’re alone — or […]
You don’t typically put Sherlock Holmes, P.G. Wodehouse, and Wallace and Gromit in the same thought — unless you’re Pascal Cammisotto, writer and director for Draw Me A Pixel’s upcoming time-travel adventure Crushed in Time. Cammisotto tells Polygon he used these as starting points for building on his previous work, There Is No Game: Wrong […]
“I am Zangetsu.” For years, that line in Tite Kubo’s Bleach sounded like a threat. Coming from the monstrous voice buried within Ichigo Kurosaki’s sword, Zangetsu, the declaration felt invasive, almost parasitic, like something trying to overtake him from within. But over time, the line transforms into something far more tragic. What once sounded like […]

For All Mankind season 5 airs its final episode on May 29, with the alt-history space-race show’s sixth and final season expected to premiere in 2027.

Since the humanoid robot from Tetsujin 28 walked across screens in 1963, mecha anime has endured within the cultural zeitgeist. Though there’s often a war at the center, there’s an escapist element to the spectacle of two or more gigantic robots fighting. Creators have ruminated on the futility of human conflict in everything from Gundam […]
Mortal Kombat 2 is full of dismemberment, decapitations, and death. It’s also replete with characters from 2021’s Mortal Kombat who’ve been brought back from the dead, like Josh Lawson’s Kano, or newly made undead, like Kung Lao (Max Huang) and Sindel (Ana Thu Nguyen). Their returns happen in ways that are authentic to the fighting […]
