Depp v Heard: When the Lines Between Reality and Fiction Blur

The Depp v Heard “Show”

It was practically impossible not to get sucked into the rabbit hole of what seemed to be the greatest show of all time.

Anime Mania

Anime has made an impressive impact across the world in the past years. The anime craze has reached millions of people, increasing the number of anime fans.

While cartoons are for viewers of all ages, anime can be violent, gory and even sexual, proving to be more suitable for adult viewing. Unlike cartoons, anime provides viewers with a wide range of genres: romance, action, horror and even comedy. In Japanese, the word anime is originally an abbreviation of the word animation. It uses signature aspects of Japanese-style animation, like vibrant colours, dramatic panning and characteristic facial expressions.
