Ranma ½ Season 2: How are They Going to Handle Master Happosai without Getting Cancelled?
Just like Urusei Yatsura before it, Ranma ½ by Rumiko Takahashi has gotten the anime reboot treatment, and we're expecting a bunch of new characters for the next season of the show. The second season is going to be introducing a bunch of new characters who appeared in the anime including Mousse, Ukyo, and Cologne, but the new trailer has also confirmed that the next season is also going to include Master Happosai. Check it out: Though Happosai feels like any silly Takahashi character, a lot of fans who have watched the anime or read the manga have been nervous about his reintroduction ever since the reboot was announced. If anything, some have even been calling for the series to just omit Happosai altogether. For context, Happosai is the master of Genma and Soun, essentially making him the patriarch of the Anything Goes Martial-Arts school that Ranma is a member of. He's an insanely gifted fighter, but there's one caveat. Essentially, the entire character of Happosai is that he's a massive pervert; and besides perving on girl Ranma, Akane, and the other women of the series, he spends a lot of his time going around town and stealing womens' underwear; where there's also a hot spring, you can expect Happosai is somewhere around trying to sneak a peek. While this seemed like a fine comic villain back in the 90s, a lot of fans don't think that he can fly as a character for the Western market in the 2020s. Even Dandadan was dropped by several viewers after the first episode because sexual assault is a big no no for them. Though he started out as an antagonist, Happosai eventually becomes a mainstay of the Tendo Dojo and essentially fills in the grandpa role. Though he does like to steal underwear and stalk women, the show treats him as harmless for the most part—unless they want him to get up to some shenanigans. Fans who have checked out the new anime have been commending the series for more nuanced takes on the characters, especially Akane—who is given a lot more character as compared to being a damsel in distress/tsundere. Maybe the new anime will tone down Happosai's perversions, but we'll just have to wait and see what happens. Ranma ½ Season 2 returns to Netflix sometime later this year.

No sequel has been announced for K-Pop Demon Hunters yet, but the ending does leave fans hopeful for a follow-up, especially with the billboard of Huntrix saying they have a new song/album called Comeback. Some are even hoping that the girls actually get to go on a world tour this time, and maybe they can find Hunters from every other nation—pretty much like what happened with Trolls World Tour .

Latest Trailer for Weapons Proves It's The Most Anticipated Horror Movie of the Year
Zach Cregger took everyone by surprise with Barbarian , and before he gets to go mainstream with his reboot of Resident Evil , he has one movie he's working on that has horror fans excited. Weapons is set to come to cinemas this August, and we have a disturbing new trailer for this mystery horror film. Check it out: Though the premise itself was interesting, everyone is excited by the top talent that the movie was able to gather including the likes of Josh Brolin, Benedict Wong, Julia Garner, and Alden Ehrenreich. We don't know what the movie is about exactly, but some are speculating that with the title Weapons and children being the focal point of the story; the film could be looking to say something about school shootings or violence being instilled in young children. Admittedly, Netflix's Adolesence kind of tackled the 'mysogny growing in young males' problem already, but it's going to be fascinating to see how Cregger is going to take on the issue with a horror lens. Then again, this is just speculation on the fans' part; and we don't know exactly what to expect with Weapons —which is what makes it so exciting. It also doesn't hurt that rumors were going around that Jordan Peele fired his agent because he wanted to direct this movie and Cregger got the job instead. Here's the official description for the movie: When all but one child from the same class mysteriously vanish on the same night at exactly the same time, a community is left questioning who or what is behind their disappearance. Watch out for Weapons when it comes to cinemas on Aug. 8.

WB Games Restructuring will Prioritize 4 Major Franchises Including Mortal Kombat and Harry Potter
It's no mystery that WB Games have been having major missteps recently, what with the cancellation of huge games like Wonder Woman and the underperformance of Mortal Kombat 1 . While rumors had been flying around that WB should just sell their gaming division, it does look like they've decided to do some major restructuring—which a lot of people in the game community think could mean great things for the brand. According to Variety, WBD has announced that they will now focus on four key franchises, namely Harry Potter, Game of Thrones, Mortal Kombat , and DC. Three studio heads have been promoted to major decision-making positions, them being WB Games Montreal studio head Yves Lachance, NethereRealm Studio head Shaun Himmerick, and WB Games New York studio chief Steven Flenory. All three have been promoted to senior vice president with Lachance handling Potter and Thrones ; Himmerick dealing with DC and Mortal Kombat; and Flenory overseeing 'game and publishing technology, customer service, quality assurance, and user research.' With WB Games recently getting flak for poor management, a lot of people in the community think that the promotion of Lachance, Himmerick, and Flenory is a great choice since all have been in the industry for a long time, and they have a better handle at the game development process—which should allow them to make better decisions from up top. The news of the restructuring follows the announcement that heads like David Zaslav will be taking huge paycuts based on the performance of the WB brand since he took over. What's great news is that no layoffs have been made, and it's said that mostly the executives were the one to take the blow here. We don't know what the future holds for WB Games now, but hopefully the restructuring will lead to less games getting cancelled and more hits coming out under the WB banner.
