Is Star Trek: Lower Decks for Adults?

The animated series on Paramount+ Star Trek: Lower Decks returns for its fifth and final season in October, and it’s a significant part of the third wave of Gene Roddenberry’s universe. While it’s not the first cartoon to explore the final frontier, it is the first one to do so on a streaming service with less stringent content rules. Like most other Star Trek series, Lower Decks is a series that appeals to both adults and younger viewers.

When Star Trek: The Animated Series debuted more than 50 years ago, it aired on Saturday mornings as part of a block of programming for young children. Because of this, the most ardent Star Trek fans tried to kill the show, protesting NBC in fear that it would “dumb down” the thought-provoking sci-fi stories found in The Original Series. However, they quickly discovered, despite the hasty cost-conscious animation from Filmation, that Star Trek: TAS delivered the same quality of storytelling from the previous, live-action show. Lower Decks is similar in that way. While it is a comedy, series creator Mike McMahan still wanted it to be “real” Star Trek. Of course, the show does push boundaries with cartoon violence, language and the rare sexual situation.

Star Trek: Lower Decks Is Rated TV-14

In December 1996, television stations and studios agreed to adopt a parental guidance rating system. Like the Motion Picture Association ratings for films, these would help parents determine whether or not a show is appropriate for younger viewers. On Paramount+, the vast majority of Star Trek series are rated “TV-PG,” which means they are suitable for viewers of any age, but parents should likely watch the series with them. Every child is different, and each family has its own sense of what is and is not appropriate for them to watch.

Lower Decks is still a Star Trek series, complete with the kind of morality and social allegory the universe is known for. This series just pushes the boundaries of appropriateness a little further in the name of comedy. While this may not entirely make sense, since the first and second wave shows aired on FCC-controlled networks. Yet, given the heady themes explored in Star Trek series, along with violence and, in rare cases, sexuality, younger viewers might benefit from being able to discuss a given episode with their parents.

When it comes to Star Trek: Lower Decks, it is rated “TV-14,” meaning those who assign ratings to shows believe it’s suitable for viewers aged 14 and up. It joins series like Star Trek: Short Treks and Star Trek: Picard, both rated TV-14 as well, though the content in the shows couldn’t be more different. Short Treks, for example, is a mix of animated storytelling, live-action, and runs the gamut from serious drama to light-hearted comedy vignettes.

In a way, Lower Decks is most similar to that show, because interspersed throughout its sci-fi workplace comedy gags are stories of adventure, morality and heroism that Star Trek is known for. In Lower Decks, the characters do swear far more than one might find in a live-action Star Trek show. However, unlike in Discovery or Picard, Lower Decks will “bleep” many of them. In fact, cable and broadcast television (after certain hours in the evening) can freely use words like “goddamn” or “shit,” where Lower Decks will censor them.

The non-profit website Common Sense Media rates the series acceptable for viewers aged 13 and older for “adult humor” and “gory violence.” However, these ratings are merely where parents should start when evaluating if Star Trek: Lower Decks is for adults or suitable for their kids. Of course, given that Discovery holds the same parental guidance rating as Star Trek: The Animated Series, adults can’t determine what audience a given show is for from these alone.

Jujutsu Kaisen’s Real-Life Yuta & Rika Engagement Ring Gets Worldwide Release

The tragic love story of Yuta Okkotsu and his childhood friend Rika is widely considered to be one of Jujutsu Kaisen‘s most memorable (yet heartbreaking) arcs. Now, JJK fans outside of Japan can purchase the real-life version of Yuta Okkotsu’s engagement ring.

Meccha Japan, an online retailer that features goods from a myriad of popular anime franchises, recently began accepting preorders for Yuta’s engagement ring, produced by Bandai. Like its animated counterpart, it is a modest silver band embedded with a single crystal. It also comes with a 45 cm-long brass plated chain, allowing it to be worn around the neck. Meccha Japan, which caters to both domestic and international markets, offers worldwide shipping. Accordingly, listed prices are displayed in the predominant currency of the customer’s region. At the time of writing, the retail price for Yuta’s ring is US$172.95.

Bandai Releases New JJK Replica Engagement Ring for International Fans

The Jujutsu Kaisen franchise began with Gege Akutami’s hit dark fantasy manga, which initially launched in March 2018. The series was later adapted into a hit anime series by Studio MAPPA (Attack on Titan). JJK is set in a world where curses, or beings manifested from negative human emotions, run rampant. As Jujutsu sorcerers-in-training, the cursed energy experts at Jujutsu High work to protect humans from malevolent curses. Written as a prequel story, Jujutsu Kaisen 0 revolves around Yuta Okkotsu, a timid high school student who is frequently bullied. However, Jujutsu High instructor Satoru Gojo becomes interested in him when he realizes that Yuta is haunted by a powerful cursed spirit that attacks anyone who threatens him. In reality, the cursed spirit is actually Rika, a close friend of Yuta’s who died in a car accident. As children, the two made a pledge to get married and sealed the promise with an exchange of rings. Even after Rika’s morbid transformation, Yuta keeps the ring with him at all times.

Jujutsu Kaisen 0 Movie Was a Massive Success With Over $160 Million Worldwide

Yuta and Rika’s relationship is the emotional core of Jujutsu Kaisen 0. Believing that Rika is unwillingly tethered to him, Yuta joins the student body of Jujutsu High to find a way to free her spirit. The story was adapted into a highly successful anime film, which has grossed over $166.7 million worldwide. After the heart-wrenching conclusion of Jujutsu Kaisen 0, Yuta goes on to be a major ally to JJK‘s central protagonist Yuji Itadori, especially during the manga’s “Culling Game” story arc. Jujutsu Kaisen‘s upcoming sequel will cover the events of this arc, which revolves primarily around a high-stakes Jujutsu sorcerer battle royale staged by the villainous Kenjaku. While MAPPA has released a short teaser, it has not yet revealed a proper trailer or release window for the sequel.

Look Back Anime Expands North American Release After Major Box Office Success

Look Back, the animated movie based on Chainsaw Man‘s Tatsuki Fujimoto’s one-shot story, will receive additional screenings after exceeding expectations at the North American box office. The film was initially planned as a two-day limited release in the United States but will soon expand its theatrical reach.

American independent film distributor GKIDS announced that Look Back, the critically acclaimed anime movie by director Kiyotaka Oshiyama, will receive additional screenings in the near future thanks to the film’s financial success at the box office. “Because of your outstanding support,” GKIDS said on X (formerly Twitter), “many theatres will be adding showtimes past Oct 7 soon. If you want Look Back in your area, contact your local theatre and demand it!”

Chainsaw Man Creator’s Look Back Anime Adaptation Makes Waves at the Box Office

According to The Numbers, Look Back has grossed over $688,000 during its opening weekend at the American box office. This is impressive for a limited animated release based on a niche manga (albeit one from the author of Chainsaw Man) — especially since the release almost didn’t happen given that Look Back ran under the 70-minute requirement for American theatrical screenings. However, the film’s English distribution by GKIDS includes a behind-the-scenes featurette with the cast and film director, extending Look Back‘s length to nearly 80 minutes. Currently, Box Office Mojo estimates the worldwide gross of Look Back to be over $9,850,000.

Look Back Has Received Widesparead Praise, From Fans to Studio Ghibli Present

The surprising box office success and critical acclaim of Look Back in the U.S. mirrors its initial release in Japan. The anime adaptation grossed $1 billion yen after 18 days at the box office. The film originally premiered on June 28, 2024, and has earned vast praise from fans, critics and influential figures in the animation industry. Fujimoto himself has praised the anime adaption of his story by Oshiyama and Studio Durian, saying he was brought to tears by its sincerity. “It felt like I was watching through a camera the world in which Fujino and Kyomoto live,” Fujimoto said. “The animation and the voice actors’ performances were so natural and wonderful. I cried, thinking that I may never again in my life have my work created with such sincerity.”

Look Back Earns 100% Critic Score on Rotten Tomatoes

Rotten Tomatoes has Look Back at 100% positive reviews from critics and 99% approval from fans online. Despite the incredible reception to adapting one of Fujimoto’s most acclaimed stories, Oshiyama seemingly declined to direct an anime version of Goodbye, Eri — another short story by the creator of Chainsaw Man — believing that his directorial style wouldn’t match the book’s tone. This announcement was made during an in-person introduction at a Look Back screening in Burbank, California.

Look Back is based on the one-shot story published in Shonen Jump+ on July 2021. The film’s description reads: “Popular, outgoing Fujino is celebrated by her classmates for her funny comics in the class newspaper. One day, her teacher asks her to share the space with Kyomoto, a truant recluse whose beautiful artwork sparks a competitive fervor in Fujino. What starts as jealousy transforms when Fujino realizes their shared passion for drawing. Based on the acclaimed manga by Tatsuki Fujimoto, the creator of Chainsaw Man, Look Back captures the highs and lows of pursuing artistic excellence and the special bonds formed through creative collaboration. The heart-wrenching story is the stunning feature-length directorial debut from Kiyotaka Oshiyama that will leave you in tears and inspire you to chase your own artistic dreams.”

Meg Ryan Was Animators’ First Choice for Anastasia

1997’s Anastasia was an epic, animated musical and one of the surprising non-Disney endeavors when the entertainment giant was dominating the 1990s market. 20th Century Fox had owned the rights to Anastasia since the production of the 1956 film starring Ingrid Bergman, on which the 1997 remake was based. But adding music, new characters, and choosing to add a memorable list of songs to the retelling was a stroke of inspiration. Similar to George Bernard Shaw’s play, Pygmalion — which partially inspired the ’97 film – Anastasia has seen many different iterations over the years from stage to screen. And though the leading character herself is based on a tragic historical figure, the story of her short life has reached mythical proportions.

Audiences never seem to tire of hearing about the fated Romanov daughter and the idea that she may have survived her assassins. Even after the truth of her death was revealed in 2007, Anastasia merited a remake in Broadway form. And with Disney’s acquisition of 20th Century Fox in 2019, it might be time for her to step into the spotlight once more.

Meg Ryan Was Animators’ First Choice for Anastasia

When directors Don Bluth and Gary Goldman were looking to cast their movie, they started with the leading lady. Meg Ryan was approached by the filmmakers but wasn’t sure she wanted to commit since Anastasia’s true-life story is steeped in tragedy. The real Anastasia was assassinated at the age of 17, along with the rest of her family, during the Russian Revolution. But Bluth and Goldman admitted they took the route of flattery to get Ryan to come onto the project. They whipped up an animation test using audio of Ryan’s performance as Annie Reed in Sleepless in Seattle and presented it to the actress. Ryan took the role after seeing the test, admitting, “I was blown away that they did that . . . I couldn’t say no.”

The ’90s was the decade that celebrity casting became common in voice-over. Following the success of Robin Williams as the Genie in Disney’s Aladdin, studios began to turn their minds to celebrities to bring their animated heroes and heroines to life. And Anastasia had its fair share of heavy hitters. ’90s favorite rom-com star, John Cusack, starred as the conman turned romantic interest, Dimitri. Vulture described how his performance “fit his very ’90s rom-com nice-guy arc: He talks like a salesman out to exploit an opportunity.” And added how Ryan was “uniquely melodic as the titular Anastasia, and Cusack’s voice is a perfect foil.” Indeed, the dynamic between Anya/Anastasia and Dimitri was very reminiscent of a Nora Ephron dynamic à la You’ve Got Mail. Not a common trope you see in a Disney movie, but one that 20th Century Fox chose to lean into.

Generally, voice actors tend to record their parts separately, but for Anastasia, the studio made an exception. Production began with Ryan recording her lines on her own, but something just wasn’t working. Goldman said, “Ryan he was having a tough time not being able to be cute with her body and her face and expressions that she did.” For actors not accustomed to performing everything in front of a mic with only line readers to play off of, this could present a real challenge. Luckily, in this case, Cusack and Ryan’s recording sessions were back-to-back, so they were able to accommodate the actors in such a way that they could perform together. The change in their performance was clear and Goldman added that “it made a huge difference.”

Many other iconic voices added their names to the film’s roster. Angela Lansbury opens the movie narrating as the Dowager Empress Maria Feodorovna, mother of Tsar Nicholas II. Kelsey Grammar –who was still starring in his own sitcom Frasier at the time — played Vlad, Dimitri’s cohort. Woody Allen and Martin Short were both considered for the role of Bartok the bat, but Hank Azaria won out after he adlibbed dialogue for the comedic kung fu scene. Peter O’Toole was originally considered for Rasputin, but the role went to Back to the Future star Christopher Lloyd. Anastasia screenwriter Bruce Graham simply stated, “kids don’t know who Peter O’Toole is, but they’ve all seen Back to the Future.”

What is Dragon Ball DAIMA?

Dragon Ball Daima is Akira Toriyama’s final gift to fans, coming out on October 11. There’s a lot to unwrap about the new series and where it fits in the Dragon Ball franchise. The prolific battle shonen is still going strong after nearly four decades and this year’s Dragon Ball Daima will celebrate the series’ 40th anniversary with a brand-new story. Fans have been anxious for any new Dragon Ball content, even if Dragon Ball Super’s manga continues to turn out new chapters and periodic feature films hit the cinema.

It’s very rare for a completely new Dragon Ball entity to get announced and catch audiences by surprise, but fans are dying to see Toriyama’s final contribution to his beloved franchise. There’s no doubt that Dragon Ball Daima is 2024’s most highly-anticipated anime. The series has embraced secrecy and many of its biggest revelations won’t be clear until it makes its debut. That being said, Dragon Ball Daima is closer than ever to being released, and key information has already been disclosed.

Updated by Arthur Goyaz, October 04, 2024: After a long wait, Dragon Ball Daima is finally making its debut on October 11. This article was updated to discuss everything fans need to know about the new Dragon Ball anime.

Dragon Ball fans know that they can expect to see most of their favorite characters in Dragon Ball Daima, but most of the anime’s grander narrative is still being kept a mystery ahead of the series’ release on October 11. The main feature in Daima’s marketing and in the anime’s story seems to be the magically de-aged versions of Goku, Vegeta, Piccolo, and the majority of the Dragon Ball cast. Even characters like Shin, Kibito, and Hercule Satan are not immune to this metamorphosis. Dragon Ball Daima’s plot will revolve around Goku and company’s attempts to figure out what’s happened to them and reverse this cruel curse, embarking on grand adventures and engaging in dangerous battles along the way.

Dragon Ball Daima is an original series that’s not based on a Dragon Ball manga, which is why fans have so many questions and theories. That’s not to say that a manga won’t follow the anime’s debut without Toriyama, but this will likely be dependent upon the series’ success. Dragon Ball Daima‘s title also provides a hint regarding what audiences will see in the new series. There are plenty of occasions where an anime’s extension chooses to delineate that it’s different from its predecessor through the addition of a random letter, such as Sailor Moon S, Saber Marionette J, and of course, Dragon Ball Z.

However, this title suffix can also serve a greater purpose, such as how Dragon Ball GT stands for “Grand Tour,” in reference to the galactic journey that kicks off the franchise. Toriyama had revealed that “Daima” is ultimately a made-up word, but that it’s possible to translate it to “Evil” in English. Dragon Ball Daima’s latest trailer has confirmed that the anime will take place in the Demon Realm, perfectly connecting with the idea of exploring a new evil world.

This Bleach Character Moment from Thousand Year Blood War Shows Serious Development

There are a lot of characters in Bleach. However, the length of the series has given plenty of them moments to shine. These moments and the power system naturally lend themselves to character growth and development. Even growth that happens off-screen can be exemplified in small scenes that have a big impact. One of the characters that’s benefited from this is Soi Fon, Captain of the Second Division and the head of the Onmitsukido (Stealth Force).

Soi Fon was an antagonist during the Soul Society Invasion, holding a grudge against Yoruichi Shihoin. Yoruichi was once her mentor and the person she was dedicated to serving, and Soi Fon never forgave Yoruichi for leaving Soul Society. While Soi Fon became an excellent assassin and ruthless leader, she was deeply hurt over her abandonment. However, the confrontation she had with Yoruichi and her later battles against Baraggan Luisenbairn gave her a chance to move past these feelings and better herself.

Soi Fon is an Assassin and a Captain

This Powerful Bleach Character is Essential to Thousand-Year Blood War Season 3

After Aizen’s fall, a new power and threat emerged in the world of Bleach and the self-proclaimed father of all Quincy, King Yhwach, is key to TYBW.

Soi Fon functions under two major roles for Soul Society. She’s both a squad captain and their head assassin. Generally, these roles demand the same things from her, but not always. At the beginning of the series, Soi Fon values her abilities as an assassin more than anything, so she doesn’t like her bankai and is reluctant to use it. However, she was faced with the limitations of her shikai and her assassination skills when fighting Barragan. They simply weren’t what was needed from a captain in a full-scale battle.

When the Quincy invasion happened, Soi Fon first tried her shikai. While she could have tried it more than once, she was willing to adapt after being rebuffed. When she struggled with landing the hits needed, she decided to try her bankai. Soi Fon knew bankai were being stolen, but she put the need for information on how that worked and the lives of her subordinates above that fact. She lost her bankai because she was willing to work with others, even if it didn’t amount to much. Her willingness to use her bankai shows how she’s grown in the time since the Arrancar arc.

“Mountain of Stress”: Jujutsu Kaisen Director Finally Explains the Real Reason for a Major ‘Fall Into Darkness’

Season 2 of the Jujutsu Kaisen anime chronicles a critical episode from Satoru Gojo’s youth in which his best friend Suguru Geto decides that the world would be better off without any non-sorcerers. During a joint interview with several members of Jujutsu Kaisen‘s cast and crew, director Shota Goshozono explained the reason for what he refers to as Geto’s “fall into darkness.”

In Jujutsu Kaisen, Geto is introduced as a talented sorcerer with purely noble ambitions. However, his resolve falters after an eye-opening incident involving two child sorcerers and a town driven mad with grief and anger. Per Oricon, Goshozono discusses how, for him, Geto’s fall from grace is also related to the ongoing struggles within the larger jujutsu sorcerer community. “For [Gojo’s Past arc], I had my own theme in mind: how to interpret the reasons for Geto’s fall into darkness and his actions and incorporate them into the anime…as a result, I came to the interpretation that Geto’s actions for killing non-sorcerers and creating a world of sorcerers alone were not something he did on his own, but rather that Geto’s own stress piled on top of the mountain of stress that the world of sorcery had been building up for a long time, until he finally broke through and took action.”

Jujutsu Kaisen’s Season 2 Director Explains the Reason for Geto’s Ultimate Betrayal

According to Goshozono, his version of Gojo’s past deliberately contrasts a “bright and fun” coming-of-age tale against later events in order to heighten the impact of the arc’s grim conclusion. “I think one of the charms of Jujutsu Kaisen is that it defies expectations in a good way…the story goes from a bright and fun coming-of-age movie about Gojo and Geto to a complete turnaround with Riko’s death, which leads to a rift between Gojo and Geto. That’s the biggest ‘betrayal’ in the story. [Once] we got to that big betrayal,’ I was conscious of going all out and creating the complete opposite of a bright and fun coming-of-age movie to create an emotional gap.”

The “Gojo’s Past” arc serves as a highly emotional preface to Jujutsu Kaisen‘s “Shibuya Incident” arc, in which Gojo is confronted by Kenjaku — a powerful cursed entity who has taken over Geto’s body in order to bring about the world once envisioned by the late sorcerer. Jujutsu Kaisen‘s sequel anime, currently in production at Studio MAPPA, will chronicle the events of the “Culling Game” arc — a high-stakes battle royale created to spearhead humanity’s evolution. After finding out that Megumi Fushiguro’s sister Tsumiki is participating, Yuji, Megumi and Nobara Kugisaki enter into order to protect her from Kenjaku’s dark scheme. MAPPA has not yet revealed an official release window or full trailer for the anime.

50 Years Ago, Captain America Adopted a Brand-New Superhero Identity

In every Look Back, we examine a comic book issue from 10/25/50/75 years ago (plus a wild card every month with a fifth week in it). This time around, we head to September 1974 to see the debut of Captain America’s new superhero identity, Nomad, the man without a country!

It’s fascinating how there is such an interesting balancing act with comic book history when it comes to certain types of tropes. What I mean is that there are certain kinds of stories that, depending on the particular era of comic book history, are either notable or commonplace, and that boils entirely down to the way that comic books handled continuity. If you are telling just one-off stories, like comic books did for MANY years during the Golden Age and most of the SIlver Age, you could try all sorts of crazy ideas, because everything would be back to normal by the end of the issue. Nowadays, we are ALSO used to comic books trying drastically different things all of the time, since it is so much harder to get readers to pay attention to things.

That, therefore, leaves an interesting period in time when comic books had real continuity, so a major change would last for more than an issue, and that readers weren’t used to this sort of thing, therefore giving the changes real gravity to them. This is a long way towards explaining why it is was such a big deal fifty years ago when Steve Rogers not only abandoned his identity as Captain America, but adopted a brand-new superhero identity in September 1974’s Captain America #180 (by Steve Englehart, Sal Buscema, and Vince Colleta.

Why did Captain America abandon his identity?

As I detailed in a recent Look Back, Captain America was framed for murder, and was forced to go on the run, hunted down by a supervillain, Moonstone, who was pretending to be a superhero. Cap and his partner, Falcon, discovered that this had all been engineered by a shadowy organization known as the Secret Empire, who planned on using a faked attack by a flying ship powered by mutants to attack Washington D.C. The only people who could stop the mutants were the Secret Empire, and the President would then declare martial law, and install the Secret Empire as the rulers of the country.

Captain America foiled the plot, and exposed all the lies, but was shocked to discover that the head of the Secret Empire was actually the then-current President of the United States, who then took his own life in the Oval Office in front of a shocked Captain America.

Captain America struggled with his role as the symbol of America, and ultimately decided that he could no longer, in good conscience, call himself Captain AMERICA, so he quit in Captain America #176…

For the next two issues, the Falcon was forced to fight crime by himself without Captain America, while Steve Rogers adjusted to no longer being a superhero. Then, in Captain America #179, Steve and his girlfriend, Sharon Carter, were accosted by what appeared to be a supervillain. Steve was forced to subdue the “villain” in his civilian identity, and it turned out to be his Avenger teammate, Hawkeye, who was trying to show Steve how he really was too good to STOP being a superhero. He said that if Steve really didn’t want to be Captain America anymore, then fine, but he should be SOME sort of superhero.
