Companies are being forced to learn the same lesson time and time again in the AI bubble era: the backlash that almost stops them from doing dumb things with generative AI privately? It’s going to be just as bad, if not worse, when they inevitably start doing them publicly. Amazon is simply the latest to […]
Amazon’s Atrocious AI Anime Dubs Are a Dark Sign of Things to Come
As generative AI material threatens to encroach further and further upon the entertainment industry, animation—and Japanese animation in particular—has become something of a major battleground, as both sides of production and distribution weigh up the worth (and potential backlash) of using the technology. But over the weekend, a surprisingly grim new frontier opened up in […]
The ‘Fallout’ Show Won’t Give a Canon Ending for ‘New Vegas’
Season two of Fallout is just weeks away, and we’re going to down to good ol’ New Vegas for some of it. For fans of Obsidian’s 2010 game of the same name, the location’s return here is an interesting one, since the show’s set 15 years after it wrapped. Which begs the question: how did that game […]
‘Mighty Nein’ Creators Talk New Tone
The Mighty Nein premiere showed the members of the adventuring party beginning their personal journeys and meeting up in small groups, only for them to crash into each other by episode three.

Aaron Paul Won’t Play ‘Invincible’ Baddie Powerplex Again
Aaron Paul has been in his voice acting bag since leaving Breaking Bad, with one of his most recent being over on Prime Video’s Invincible.

The ‘Mass Effect’ TV Show Will Tackle What Happens After the Original Trilogy
We still don’t know a lot about Amazon’s planned TV show adaptation of Mass Effect, so there’s already been plenty of speculation about just what a thorny path to adaptation of a series defined by player choice (for good and ill) could even look like in the first place. Well, now we have some semblance of […]
5 Things We Liked, and 5 We Didn’t, About ‘Gen V’ Season 2
After reflecting on the conclusion of The Boys season four, it became time to shift our focus back to its surprisingly good, and dare we say even better, spin-off series, Gen V.

Sanda Anime Prime Video Review: Weird, Wild, Wonderful
In manga circles, Paru Itagaki is affectionately revered as a certified weirdo. Since her debut, the Beastars creator has built a reputation for crafting fearless, genre-bending stories that are unapologetically offbeat, exerting a magnetic pull that is bold and bizarre, yet impossible to tap the glass and see what wonders will never cease.

‘Life is Strange’ TV Series Coming to Prime Video
Prime Video is picking up one video game after another to bring to television, and Life Is Strange is the latest game joining those ranks.
