The intro credits for Netflix’s “Scott Pilgrim Takes Off” should not be missed.
Pokémon Needs To Give Raichu More Respect
Here on Exp. Share, Kotaku’s weekly Pokémon column, I look back at various nonsense and cool shit from the series’ long history. But as players and fans, we all experience that history in our own way. So much of my experience of the series and so many of my own cherished memories of it over the years are closely…

Crunchyroll is adding mobile games to its subscription service

Crunchyroll is getting into gaming. On Tuesday, the anime streaming service launched Crunchyroll Game Vault, a destination for mobile games, for both its Mega and Ultimate Fan subscribers.
The best gaming deals for Nov. 2023, from ‘Elden Ring’ to the Nintendo Switch holiday bundle

The games will also be “free,” although you’d already be paying either $10 or $15 for a Crunchyroll subscription.
The Verge noted that Crunchyroll’s gaming offering looks to be more focused on “premium mobile games specifically for fans of anime and anime-inspired entertainment.”
That feels like a no-brainer considering folks in those subscription tiers are already shelling out good money for an anime service. It also feels like a natural choice, considering streamers like Netflix are already experimenting with gaming.

Attack On Titan Anime Finale Rewrites The Ending For The Better
After what’s felt like a never-ending final season, Attack on Titan, the mega-popular shonen anime series, finally came to an end on November 4 on Crunchyroll and Hulu. Unlike the manga it’s based on, whose controversial ending split its fandom in half over whether the decade-spanning series was an utter disappointment
