(AfroGamers.com) Back in 2014 a goofy cosmic romp ended its very first episode by blowing up its heroes, their ship, and the planet beneath them. The credits ran over the rubble. A week later the same crew sauntered back in, hair intact and swagger somehow louder, out chasing rare aliens ...
(AfroGamers.com) Some shows hand you a glossary. This one handed you a fist and dared you to keep up. Twenty six episodes, zero homework, all attitude. Let me put it plain. Back in 2001 a scrappy series named s-CRY-ed came out swinging, and it had zero interest in handing you ...
(AfroGamers.com) Back in 1993, a whole slew of American children started absorbing Japanese storytelling logic every weekday afternoon, and not one of us had a clue.

(AfroGamers.com) Boot up a Game Boy in 1996, when Pokémon Red and Green first arrived in Japan, and you got a screen the color of pond scum. Four murky shades of green doing their best impression of color. It should have looked cheap. Instead, it felt like you were holding ...

(AfroGamers.com) Let me talk about something that has been sitting heavy on my chest since the first trailer dropped and everybody lost their minds over Lucia. That feeling did not disappear when Rockstar released its extended look. If anything, seeing more of the world made the question harder to ignore. ...
(AfroGamers.com) Real talk, there’s a certain kind of respect you only earn by vanishing for a decade and strolling back in like you never left money on the table. That is exactly where Bleach sits in the summer of 2026. Back in the Toonami and Adult Swim run, Ichigo Kurosaki ...
(AfroGamers.com) There is a quiet contradiction sitting on collector shelves across the country, and it deserves an honest look. Walk through any con floor in 2026 and count the shopping bags before you count the folks actually breaking down an episode. Money is moving. Booths stacked with resin statues stretch ...
(AfroGamers.com) Around 70 TV shows landed this summer, give or take. Not seventy episodes, mind you, but that many separate series, each elbowing for the same corner of my evening, and buried somewhere in that avalanche sits a masterpiece I will never lay eyes on, since the clock simply ran ...
