As a huge animation fan, I always love learning about the shows that started it all. This series was truly groundbreaking – it was the very first 30-minute animated show on Japanese TV and basically created the template for how all anime is made today. The creator, Osamu Tezuka, was a genius. He had to work with a tight budget, so he developed this really clever style called ‘limited animation’ to get weekly episodes done. The story itself is fantastic – it’s about a super-strong robot boy who feels things, and he’s trying to bring peace between humans and robots in the future. It was a massive hit, and it really opened the door for anime to become popular all over the world. Plus, it’s where that famous ‘big eyes’ style that you see in a lot of anime came from!

Bad Bunny faced a lawsuit from his former manager, Rebecca Drucker, in Los Angeles.

Bad Bunny and his lawyers strongly disputed these claims, but the two sides eventually reached a settlement. The case showed how financial disagreements can arise even between people who have worked together for a long time in the entertainment industry.

Satoru Gojo is a powerful sorcerer and teacher at Tokyo Jujutsu High, and he’s a frequent topic of conversation among fans because of his incredible ability, “Limitless.” However, the main story centers around Yuji Itadori, a high school student who accidentally consumes a cursed object connected to Ryomen Sukuna, a very powerful curse. To stop Sukuna from taking over, Yuji joins a secret group of sorcerers on a mission to find and absorb all of Sukuna’s remaining cursed fingers. Although the series explores the dark world of curses and the complex politics of the sorcery community, Gojo consistently stands out as the most talked-about character.

The last two episodes of ‘Neon Genesis Evangelion’ move away from giant robot battles and instead take viewers on a deeply psychological journey into the main character’s mind. Shinji Ikari experiences a process called Human Instrumentality, which blurs the lines between people, ultimately aiming to create one unified consciousness. The animation style changes dramatically, using simple drawings, still images, and photographs while characters discuss life’s big questions – what does it mean to exist, and what makes us valuable? The ending is intentionally open to interpretation, leaving it unclear whether Shinji achieves a positive mental breakthrough or completely disconnects from reality. This unusual conclusion is still remembered today as a significant moment in television, prioritizing inner struggles over a traditional, action-packed resolution.
