The stories found in shojo anime often revolve around deeper emotional themes compared to shonen, such as love, friendship, and coming-of-age stories.

Kimi Ni Todoke

Kimi ni Todoke is a staple shojo series that deserves to be on every anime fan’s watchlist, especially with the return of season 3 on Netflix. The anime follows Sawako, a 15-year-old girl in Hokkaido that is constantly picked on by her peers for her resemblance to Sadako from The Ring.

Despite her reputation, Sawako is very mild-mannered and kind. When the class clown and popular boy, Kazehaya, starts taking an interest in Sawako, her life gets flipped upside down as she’s finally able to live like a normal teenage girl; making friends and falling in love for the very first time.

Say “I Love You”

Say is a shojo romance anime that follows Mei Tachibana, a high school girl who doesn’t have any friends and doesn’t want any either. However, her life changes when she meets Yamato Kurosawa, the most popular boy in school.

The two eventually become friends, and then something more. The anime explores their relationship as they deal with the ups and downs of teenage love.

My Little Monster

The story shows the life of Shizuku Mizutani, a high school student who is content with her life being nothing but academics. She doesn’t have time for friends, let alone love.

However, everything changes when she meets Haru Yoshida, a transfer student with an unpredictable personality. Through their unlikely friendship, Shizuku starts to see the value in other things besides academics.

Yona of the Dawn

Akatsuki no Yona is about the life of Princess Yona as she lives a sheltered life in the Kingdom of Kouka. Her idyllic world is turned upside down when her father is murdered and she is forced to flee the palace with her bodyguard Hak.

As she sets out on a journey to find allies and take back her throne, she must learn how to survive in a world full of war and betrayal, while still building unbreakable bonds with the people she meets along the way.

Maid-Sama

Set in the modern day, Kaichou wa Maid-sama! is a story that follows the life of Misaki Ayuzawa. She’s the perfect example of a tough and independent woman; she’s strong, intelligent, and most importantly, she’s the president of her school’s student council.

But there’s just one little problem: Misaki secretly works part-time at a maid café in order to support her family. Of course, it doesn’t take long before Misaki’s biggest secret is revealed to the public by none other than her arch-rival, Takumi Usui.

But instead of using this information to blackmail her, Usui actually ends up falling in love with Misaki. And so begins a hilarious and heartwarming story of two people from completely different worlds learning to understand and accept one another.

Ouran High School Host Club

If you’re looking for a shoujo anime that’s both heartwarming and hilarious, then look no further than Ouran High School Host Club. The story follows Haruhi, a bright-eyed girl who stumbles into an elite club full of gorgeous boys who cater to the needs of female students.

While it may sound like a typical reverse-harem anime, Ouran High School Host Club is actually a clever satire that pokes fun at the shoujo genre while still managing to be a charming story in its own right.

Cardcaptor Sakura

Cardcaptor Sakura tells the story of Sakura Kinomoto, a fourth grader who discovers that she possesses magical powers after accidentally releasing a set of tarot cards from a book in her basement. She then embarks on a journey to capture all the cards while dealing with everyday life and relationships with her friends and family.

Cardcaptor Sakura has a rich history in the industry, and for many anime fans that grew up with old-school shojo, Sakura’s adventures made a huge impact on them as children, well into their adulthoods.

Vampire Knight

Vampire Knight introduces viewers to Yuuki Cross, a student at Cross Academy. The academy is home to two groups of students: the Day Class, which is made up of humans, and the Night Class, which consists of vampires.

Yuuki is tasked with protecting the Day Class from the Night Class, but she finds her world turned upside down when she meets Zero Kiryu, a vampire who hates all bloodsuckers with a passion.

Fruits Basket

Fruits Basket is the story of a girl, Tohru Honda, who’s living in a tent after her mom dies in a car accident. She then gets taken in by the Sohma family, who have a curse where they turn into animals from the Chinese zodiac when hugged by someone of the opposite sex.

Tohru tries to help break the curse and falls in love with one of the members. The anime adaptation of Fruits Basket was originally released in 2001 but it was remade in 2019. Both have a certain kind of charm that makes them an enjoyable watch.

Sailor Moon

The OG shoujo anime, Sailor Moon, is one of the most popular and enduring franchises of all time. It’s the story of a group of super-powered girls who use their powers to defend the world from evil. The show is full of action, romance, and comedy.

It is also significant for its strong female friendships and its positive portrayal of women in general. Sailor Moon definitely has something for everyone, not just young girls.

The shared universe, much like the original DC Universe in comic books and the television programs, was established by crossing over common plot elements, settings, cast, and characters.

Whether you’re newly diving into the world of DC movies or you’re a longtime fan who wants to binge-watch the entire series in order, here’s the best watch order for the DC movies. For the context of this list, we’ve chosen chronological order based on the in-unvierse timeline.

Wonder Woman (2017)

The first film to watch in the DCEU is Patty Jenkins’ Wonder Woman. The story follows Diana (Gal Gadot), an Amazonian princess who discovers her true identity and destiny after meeting American pilot Steve Trevor (Chris Pine). She then sets out on a journey to stop World War I from happening.

The main story takes place from 1914 to 1918, which is the time period of World War I. However, there are also flashbacks to Diana’s childhood on Themyscira.

Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)

The sequel follows Diana working in the Smithsonian Museum and her encounter with the Dreamstone, which allows her to resurrect her deceased lover Steve Trevor. The film also introduces Barbara Minerva and Maxwell “Max Lord” Lorenzano, who steal the Dreamstone for their own selfish desires.

Wonder Woman 1984 explores the struggle between heroism and honesty when faced with difficult choices. Diana is tempted to use the Dreamstone to keep Steve Trevor alive, but she knows it’s not right. She must choose what’s best for the world, even if it means sacrificing her own happiness.

Man of Steel (2013)

The DCEU film that started it all, Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel introduces Superman (Henry Cavill) as he tries to find his place in the world. Itlso sets up the conflict between him and General Zod (Michael Shannon). The cast includes Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Laurence Fishburne as Perry White, and Diane Lane as Martha Kent.

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

In Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, the world’s greatest superheroes — Batman and Superman — go head-to-head in the ultimate showdown of good versus evil. Behind the scenes, BvS is where Warner Bros. took immediate action course-correcting their slate of films into a universe. If the movie feels muddled as a result, that’s because it is.

It’s a clash of the titans, as Batman (Ben Affleck), the world’s greatest detective, and Superman (Henry Cavill), the powerful alien from Krypton, come together for the first time on the big screen. But while they share a common goal—stopping Lex Luthor (Jesse Eisenberg) and his diabolical plans—they have very different methods of achieving it. And as the two clash, the planet is caught in the middle.

Suicide Squad (2016)

In Suicide Squad, a secret government agency recruits some of the most dangerous criminals in the world to take on dangerous missions in exchange for reduced sentences. The team is then sent on a mission to track down and stop a powerful magical being called Enchantress.

It’s set in the aftermath of Superman’s death, which is why it comes after Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice since it helps to understand the context of Suicide Squad.

Justice League (2017) / Zack Snyder’s Justice League (2021)

Justice League follows a team of superheroes as they come together to stop Steppenwolf from conquering Earth. It features an ensemble cast including Ben Affleck, Gal Gadot, Jason Momoa, Ezra Miller, and Ray Fisher. The setting shows the heroes working together for the first time and provides context for their individual stories.

With more behind-the-scenes drama brewing, director Zack Snyder was forced to step away from production due to a personal tragedy. Marvel’s Avengers director Joss Whedon stepped in to finish, and the end result is a weird Frankenstein mess. Erasing Henry Cavill’s mustache still gives us chills.

With the dawn of streaming services and persistent fan outcry, Warner Bros. eventually cleared Snyder to finish his version of Justice League. In 2021, Zack Snyder’s Justice League released on HBO Max as a 4-hour cut that scrubbed Whedon’s interference clean and preserved Snyder’s original vision. It’s epic in scale, and arguably so long due to the absurd amount of slo-mo.

Aquaman (2018)

Aquaman is a visual spectacle, with stunning visuals of the undersea world and some amazing action sequences. It’s also a great origin story for Aquaman, telling the tale of how he came to be the King of Atlantis.

Shazam! (2019)

Shazam! follows Billy Batson (Asher Angel), a streetwise 14-year-old who can transform into the adult superhero Shazam (Zachary Levi) by saying his name. While it lacks the high stakes of some of the other DC movies, Shazam! is a fun and lighthearted romp that’s perfect for introducing younger viewers to the world of superheroes.

Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) (2020)

Birds of Prey showcases Harley Quinn’s emancipation from the Joker and cements her place as one of DC’s most badass characters. It provides a good introduction to Harley and the other main characters.

The Suicide Squad (2021)

The Suicide Squad is a standalone sequel to the 2016 film and features the same format of enlisting a team of supervillains to complete a dangerous mission for the government. This time, it’s taking down Starro, an alien conqueror. The Suicide Squad is directed and written by James Gunn, who is known for his work on Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy films, and will lead the entire rebirth of DC’s future films.

The best way to watch The Suicide Squad is after you’ve seen all of the other DC movies. That way, you can appreciate all of the Easter eggs and references.

Black Adam (2022)

Black Adam focuses on the anti-hero of the same name, played by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. The character is a former slave who was given superpowers by the wizard Shazam. There’s an interesting cameo in the mid-credits scene that DC fans should definitely watch out for.

Shazam! Fury of the Gods (2023)

Shazam! Fury of the Gods is the sequel to Zachary Levi’s adventures as Billy Batson. In this film, Billy continues to struggles with growing up. Except this time, turning 18 means potentially losing a family he’s finally called his own. The Shazamily are still newbie superheroes and are still learning how to work together as a team. When a trio of ancient gods arrive in Boston in search of magic that’s tied to Billy, the Shazamily must join together to save the world from annihilation.

The followup to 2019’s Shazam! came and went like a pebble thrown into a lake. Meaning, Shazam! Fury of the Gods failed to make a splash with audiences. As James Gunn inches closer toward resetting the DC Universe, fans weren’t interested in showing up to a movie that no longer connects to the larger picture.

It won’t be long until The Flash officially resets the current DC timeline in June 2023.

That said, here are all the Xbox consoles in order of release date.

Every Xbox Console in Release Order

Xbox (2001)

The first Xbox was Microsoft’s first foray into the gaming console market. It was powered by a 733 MHz Intel Pentium III processor and had 256 MB of RAM. The system also had a hard drive for storing games and other data. The first Xbox could connect to the internet via a dial-up connection or broadband adapter. It was discontinued in 2005, but the original Xbox laid the foundation for Microsoft’s gaming console business, which would go on to release the Xbox 360, Xbox One, and Xbox Series.

Xbox 360 (2005)

The second generation of the Xbox 360 was released in 2005. The console featured a new design, a smaller form factor, and an upgraded processor. It also included support for HDMI and 1080p output. Many users felt that the second-gen Xbox 360 was a significant improvement over the original model with its three-core 3.2 GHz PowerPC processor with 512 RAM.

With its more powerful hardware, it allowed Xbox 360 to produce 1080 p visuals up to 60 fps. What gave Xbox 360 its major edge over its predecessor was its audio capabilities supported by Dolby Digital 5.1, which allowed a major upgrade for an immersive gaming experience. Lastly, Xbox 360, with its upgraded online capabilities, allowed gamers to play with or against each other across platforms and download movies, music, and other services.

Xbox 360 S (2010)

In 2010, Microsoft released the Xbox 360 S (Slim). The console was a big improvement over its predecessor in terms of hardware. It had a larger hard drive, a built-in Wi-Fi adapter, and a smaller form factor. The Xbox 360 S also came with Kinect support out of the box and was very successful, selling well over 80 million units worldwide.

Aside from its size being its major difference as compared to its predecessor (Xbox 360), Xbox 360 S came with a 250 GB hard drive along with its upgraded hardware. This made it ideal for players who need additional storage for all their games and other forms of media. Xbox 360 S featured a built-in Media Center app allowing you to stream Netflix and Hulu Plus. When it comes to gaming, Xbox 360 S and Xbox 360 did not have much difference in the immersive experience they could provide.

Xbox 360 E (2013)

Xbox 360 E (Elite) is the last of the second-generation Xbox 360s. It was released in November 2013 and discontinued in 2016. It is similar to the Xbox One S in terms of specs, with a slightly upgraded CPU and GPU. The biggest difference is its lack of an optical drive, which was replaced by a 1TB hard drive. It also came with a Kinect sensor.

As far as performance goes, the Xbox 360 S has more power under the hood and can handle more intense gaming experiences, while the Xbox 360 E has less power and is better suited to more casual gaming. In terms of connectivity, both Xbox 360 E and Xbox 360 S feature Wi-Fi and HDMI outputs. Xbox 360 E does not have HD DVD drives and lacks an Ethernet port. The ability to accept up to two additional controllers via USB ports is what sets apart Xbox 360 E from its predecessors.

Xbox One (2013)

The third-gen Xbox One was released in 2013 and was the first of its kind to offer a truly next-generation gaming experience. It featured an all-new design, powerful internals, and an impressive lineup of launch titles that included Forza Motorsport 5 and Ryse: Son of Rome.

The Xbox One struggled initially against the more powerful PlayStation 4 but has since found its footing and is now considered one of the best consoles on the market. It has a strong line-up of exclusives that includes the likes of Halo 5: Guardians, Gears of War 4, and Forza Horizon 3.

The console is also now a part of Microsoft’s “One X” initiative, which means it is compatible with all Xbox One games. It also has the added bonus of being able to play some select Xbox 360 and original Xbox titles, like Final Fantasy XIII, Assassin’s Creed Liberation HD, and Prince of Persia.

Xbox One S (2016)

The Xbox One S was released in 2016 as the third generation of Xbox consoles. It is a slimmer version of the original Xbox One and comes with a range of new features including 4K video output, Blu-ray player support (allowing users to watch movies in stunning Ultra-HD resolution), and quantum dot display technology. This third-gen Xbox also has an updated user interface with a new home screen and dashboard design.

In terms of performance, both consoles offer similar gaming experiences with no significant differences between them. However, the Xbox One S is capable of running games at slightly higher frame rates thanks to its more powerful GPU and faster processor. Additionally, the Xbox One S supports HDR, which gives games a more vibrant and immersive look.

Xbox One X (2017)

This console was released in 2017 and boasts some pretty impressive specs. It has a more powerful architecture compared to Xbox One S with its six Teraflop GPU, 12 GB of GDDR5 memory, and a 2.3 GHz octa-core processor, making it capable of running games at higher resolutions and frame rates, which makes it better suited for 4K gaming. The X, as mentioned, supports 4K resolution and HDR gaming. It is backward compatible with all Xbox One games and accessories, as well as many Xbox 360 games.

In terms of storage, Xbox One X offers a significant upgrade, compared to its predecessors, of 1 TB internal storage. Furthermore, it even supports external hard drives via its USB ports, allowing for an expansion of its capacity for up to 2 TB. If you are looking for a powerful gaming console that can handle 4K gaming and provide lots of storage space for your games and media files, then the Xbox One X is a great option.

Xbox Series X (2020)

The latest release in the Xbox series is the Xbox Series X. This console, a chunky box-shaped console that takes up more space than its slimmer counterpart was released in 2020 and is the most powerful one yet. It has a custom-designed CPU, GPU, and SSD. The CPU is eight times more powerful than that of the Xbox One and the GPU is four times more powerful. The SSD allows for much faster loading times and overall gameplay. Another new feature of this console is that it can play games at 120 frames per second.

The Xbox Series X offers more raw power than the Xbox Series S with its 8-core AMD Zen 2 CPU and 12 teraflops of GPU power. This makes it the ideal choice for gamers who want to play demanding titles at their highest settings. In terms of storage capacity, Xbox Series X comes with a 1 TB hard drive, and it supports external storage such as USB drives or external hard drives whenever you find yourself needing additional space. The Xbox Series X offers more power and storage, making it the better choice for gamers who want to experience cutting-edge titles at 4K resolution.

Xbox Series S (2020)

The Xbox Series S was released alongside the more powerful Xbox Series X. The two consoles share many features, but the main difference is that the Xbox Series S targets 1440p resolution at 60fps instead of 4K like the Xbox Series X. This makes the Xbox Series S a more affordable option for those who don’t have a 4K TV or don’t care about 4K gaming.

As Xbox Series S is a more budget-friendly option, it still offers plenty of power with its four core/8 thread AMD Zen 2 processor and four teraflops of GPU performance. While not quite as powerful as Xbox Series X, this console still packs enough punch to run most modern games without sacrificing too much in terms of visuals. In terms of storage, it comes with 512 GB storage capacity making it more suitable for gamers who do not need as much space for their games and other media. If you are looking for a more affordable option that still gets the job done, then the Xbox Series S may be just what you need.

7. Grand Theft Auto III (16 hours)

Just a bit longer than Liberty City Stories but still a pretty hefty time investment, Grand Theft Auto III is one of the most open-ended games on this list. The game gives you a massive city to explore, with plenty of side missions and activities to keep you busy for hours on end. What’s more, the game features a variety of weapons and vehicles to help you get around, making it an incredibly satisfying experience for any player.

6. Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories (16.5 hours)

5. Grand Theft Auto: Episodes From Liberty City (19.5 hours)

Episodes from Liberty City is the expansion pack for GTA IV and includes two new stories that take place in the same city. The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony are well-written and interesting, but they can be quite long. This may be why the game has an average playtime of 19.5 hours. It also has some of the best open-world activities available, which can add hours to your playtime. You can spend hours just cruising around the city, completing side missions and activities.

4. Grand Theft Auto: Vice City (19.5 hours)

It also features a number of side missions, including races, rampages, and hidden packages that can keep you occupied for hours.

3. Grand Theft Auto IV (28 hours)

GTA IV jumps to over 28 hours of gameplay when all missions are completed. That’s a lot of time for Niko Bellic to explore Liberty City, and there’s plenty to do. The main story is fantastic, but the real meat lies in the side quests and minigames. Whether it’s bowling, darts, or visiting strip clubs, there’s always something to keep you busy in GTA 4. The game also features some of the most memorable characters in the GTA universe, such as Brucie Kibbutz and Little Jacob.

2. Grand Theft Auto V (31.5 hours)

GTA V is one of the longest games in the series by a wide margin. It’s not just that the main story is longer than any of its predecessors—it’s that there are so many more things to do in Los Santos. Between the three protagonists, there are several missions to complete. And that’s not counting side activities like heists, races, collectibles, and random events. Even if you stick to the main storyline, you’re looking at a game that will take you over 30 hours to beat.

1. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (31.5 hours)

In GTA: San Andreas, players also have to clock in about 31 hours to complete the game. That’s a lot of time, but it’s also what made San Andreas one of the most beloved entries in the series. The story follows Carl “CJ” Johnson as he returns to his hometown of Los Santos after his mother’s murder. From there, players are free to explore the massive open world, engage in criminal activity, and build up Carl’s reputation.

The nonlinear narrative structure of Memento has led to it being discussed as an example of reverse causation. The film has been ranked by many critics as one of the best films of its decade and is particularly praised for its originality, clever writing, direction, and performances.

If you’re looking for more movies like Memento, check out our list below. We’ve included a variety of films that share similar themes and elements with Nolan’s masterpiece:

The Machinist (2004)

The Machinist is a psychological thriller starring Christian Bale as Trevor Reznik, a factory worker who starts to experience severe insomnia and hallucinations after an accident at work. As Trevor’s mental state deteriorates, he becomes obsessed with finding out the truth behind his co-worker’s mysterious death.

It’s directed by Brad Anderson and also stars Jennifer Jason Leigh, John Sharian, and Aitana Sánchez-Gijón. It’s similar to Memento in that it’s a mind-bending thriller that will keep you guessing until the very end.

Shutter Island (2010)

With an eerily similar opening to Memento — a man wakes up in a hospital with no memory of how he got there — Shutter Island is another psychological thriller that will have you questioning everything you thought you knew.

Leonardo DiCaprio stars as U.S. Marshal Edward “Teddy” Daniels, who is sent to investigate the disappearance of a patient from Shutter Island’s mental hospital. But the more Teddy investigates, the more he realizes that there is much more going on than meets the eye.

12 Monkeys (1995)

Directed by Terry Gilliam, this mind-bending sci-fi thriller stars Bruce Willis as a time traveler from the future who’s sent back in time to save the human race from a deadly virus. Brad Pitt co-stars as a fellow inmate at a mental institution who may or may not be able to help him.

It’s a complex and confusing story, told in a non-linear fashion that will leave you guessing until the very end. If you’re looking for a movie that’s similar to Memento in terms of its mind-bending plot, 12 Monkeys is definitely worth checking out.

Oldboy (2003)

Oldboy is a South Korean revenge thriller film directed by Park Chan-wook. The film stars Choi Min-sik as the protagonist, Oh Dae-su. After being inexplicably imprisoned for 15 years, he is released and sets out to find his captor to get revenge. It’s critically acclaimed, and like Memento, features non-linear storytelling.

The Jacket (2005)

Jack Starks (Adrien Brody) is a Gulf War veteran who returns home to Vermont suffering from amnesia. His doctors believe that Jack’s memory loss is the result of a trauma sustained during the war and that if he can remember what happened to him, his condition will improve.

To this end, they subject him to a controversial treatment in which he is placed in a jacket that constricts his body and limits his movement. The hope is that by doing this, Jack will be forced to confront his memories and hopefully regain his lost memories.

The Jacket is a psychological thriller that is similar to Memento in its use of non-linear storytelling and its focus on memory and its role in our lives. Both movies are also visually striking, with The Jacket making use of some interesting camera techniques to disorient the viewer and add to the sense of confusion that Jack is feeling.

The Sixth Sense (1999)

This famous thriller has garnered critical acclaim for its plot twists and shock value. Starring Bruce Willis as a child psychologist who tries to help a young boy who claims to see dead people, the film features some truly eerie moments.

If you’re a fan of Memento’s non-linear storytelling, then you’ll definitely enjoy The Sixth Sense, which features a similar structure with a huge twist at the end.

The Prestige (2006)

This Christopher Nolan classic tells the story of two magicians in Victorian England who engage in a deadly battle with one another after one steals the other’s secrets. Like Memento, The Prestige features a complex plot with multiple timelines that will keep you guessing until the very end.

Christian Bale and Hugh Jackman‘s performances are both magnetic, and the film’s stunning visuals will leave you spellbound. If you’re looking for a mind-bending thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat, The Prestige is a must-watch.

This is definitely one of the best songs to play on Guitar Hero, and it’s also a great choice for karaoke thanks to Axl Rose’s signature screeching vocals.

Bohemian Rhapsody – Queen

Brian May’s guitar solo is one of the most iconic in rock history, and Bohemian Rhapsody wouldn’t be the same without it. This song is a must-play for any guitar hero.

Everlong – Foo Fighters

One of the most popular songs on Foo Fighters’ 1997 album The Colour and the Shape, Everlong is an instant classic that’s perfect for Guitar Hero. It features a great guitar riff from Dave Grohl and some tricky solo work, making it a perfect song to show off your skills on.

Suck My Kiss – Red Hot Chili Peppers

This is one of the most popular songs from the early ‘90s and it’s easy to see why — the opening riff is catchy as hell and Anthony Kiedis’ vocals are just as iconic. The verses are simple but effective, and the chorus will have you singing along in no time. It’s a great song to start with if you’re new to Guitar Hero, but it can also be quite challenging on higher difficulties.

Bulls on Parade – Rage Against the Machine

This song is the perfect opening track for any Guitar Hero game. It’s got a great riff, it’s fast-paced and it gets you pumped up for the rest of the game. The song is also a good challenge for even the most seasoned Guitar Hero players.

Reptilia – The Strokes

The Strokes are one of the most popular and influential bands of the early 21st century. They’re known for their catchy, yet simple songs that are easy to sing along to. Reptilia is one of their most popular and well-known songs, and it’s also one of the best Guitar Hero songs of all time.

The song starts out with a simple guitar riff that’s easy to follow. As the song progresses, the guitar gets more complex, but it’s still easy to play. The chorus is catchy and will stick in your head for days. The song ends with a simple guitar solo that anyone can play.

Take Me Out – Franz Ferdinand

This is one of the best guitar hero songs because it is just so catchy. The intro alone will get you hooked and the rest of the song is just as good. There are some great guitar parts throughout and the whole song has a great energy to it.

Free Bird – Lynyrd Skynyrd

There is no other song in the history of Guitar Hero that has caused as much frustration, anger, and joy as Free Bird. The song is legendary, and the fact that it’s actually possible to play it in its entirety in one sitting is a minor miracle.

The main riff is deceptively simple, but nailing it requires some serious finger dexterity. The solo is even harder, with some truly mind-bending runs that will leave your fingers aching for days. But when you finally nail it, the sense of satisfaction is unbeatable.

Livin’ On a Prayer – Bon Jovi

There’s no denying that Livin’ On a Prayer is an all-time classic rock song, and it makes for an excellent addition to any Guitar Hero setlist. The track features some great guitar work from Richie Sambora, and it’s sure to get the crowd pumped up.

Star Trek is known for its sci-fi storyline that’s way ahead of its time. Of course, as with any other fictional universe, the show also dabbles in the concept of time travel. Here are some of the best episodes that feature time travel in the Star Trek universe:

Thor: Ragnarok (2017)

Taika Waititi directed one of the best Marvel movies yet with Thor: Ragnarok. The movie is hilarious, but also has some excellent action and drama. Chris Hemsworth is great as Thor, and the supporting cast including Tom Hiddleston, Cate Blanchett, Jeff Goldblum, and Mark Ruffalo are all superb. He also played Korg, a character that he really brought to life and who is one of the best things about the movie.

What We Do In The Shadows (2014)

This mockumentary comedy follows the everyday lives of four vampires who share a flat in Wellington, New Zealand. Though its set-up may not sound like much, What We Do In The Shadows is one of the funniest films in recent memory, thanks largely to the deadpan delivery of its cast and Waititi’s sharp direction. If you’re a fan of The Office or Parks and Recreation, you’ll find plenty to enjoy here.

Hunt for the Wilderpeople (2016)

Taika Waititi directed, co-wrote, and starred in this heartwarming film about a foster kid and his grumpy foster dad who go on the run in the New Zealand bush. It’s funny, touching, and visually gorgeous, which is why it’s considered as one of his best works.

The coming-of-age story follows Ricky (Julian Dennison), a city kid who’s been placed with Bella (Rima Te Wiata) and Hec (Sam Neill) in the rural New Zealand bush. When Bella unexpectedly dies, Ricky and Hec find themselves on the run from child services, which results in them forming an unlikely bond.

How to Change Your COD Username

There are many COD games available in the market today. The two major platforms are mobile and PC. Below are the ways to change your username on these devices.

On PC

For COD games like Warzone and Modern Warfare, you can change your username through your Activision account. Just log in to the official website and go to Options > Accounts. Find the Change Display Name option to change and confirm your new username. You can change your username through Activision every six months for free.

On Mobile

If you’re playing Call of Duty: Mobile on an iOS or Android device, the process for changing your username is a little different. First, you have to pay to change your name. You can do this by opening the in-game store and buying the Rename Card.

Once you’ve done that, just click on the newly bought item and enter the new name you want.

Tips When Choosing the Best COD Username

Don’t Use Your Real Name

Never use your full name to identify yourself online. This is for your own safety, as well as to keep your identity private. If you want to personalize your username, stick to using your first name and add some cool characters or numbers after it.

Find One That Reflects Your Personality

When thinking of the best COD username, consider something that would reflect your personality. If you’re funny, try to be humorous with your username. If you’re cool and collected, go for something that represents that. You want people playing with you online to get an idea of who you are just by looking at your username.

You can even use puns on your first name to come up with a funny or cool username. This way, people will already have an idea of your personality before they even start playing with you.

Keep It Short

Keep your username at a maximum of 12 characters. This will make it easier for your friends to find you on their friends list if they want to play with you.

Stay Wholesome

You can actually get reported for having an offensive name. As such, stay away from using any racial or sexual slurs in your username. You might think it’s funny, but someone else might not and could get you into trouble.

Stick to something simple and inoffensive. This will make it more likely that people will want to play with you online. Moreover, you don’t want to be targeted for trash-talking and bullying, nor should you want to be the offensive person in the room.

Consider a Random Name Generator

You can find plenty of random name generators online that can help you come up with the best COD username. Simply enter some keywords related to what you’re looking for, and the generator will spit out a bunch of possible options.

Minecraft is a game all about creativity, exploration, and survival. However, many players also enjoy playing on multiplayer servers, where they can join player versus player (PVP) in mini-games, build massive structures together, or just chat and make new friends.

When playing on a multiplayer server, it’s important to have a good Minecraft client to take advantage of all the features available to you and have the best possible gaming experience.

That said, here are the best Minecraft clients for PVP:

Cosmic

The Cosmic client has been available to Minecraft users for quite some time now. It offers customized Heads-Up Display (HUD) options, including real-time cooldown timers and an array of additional features that are great for those who want to dominate in PVP.

Its server allows players to explore six planets. You can also join tournaments and invasions to fight new AI bosses. As such, it offers great content for those who love playing PVP games. You can also find many mods and custom servers to join on this client.

Lunar

The primary benefit that players enjoy with the Lunar client is that they don’t have to install multiple Minecraft mods. Instead, they can use this one client that offers a variety of features. The client is lightweight and doesn’t take up much space on your computer.

The client allows you to customize your HUD by easily dragging and dropping elements. This way, you can have all the information that you need while playing and not be distracted by other things.

LabyMod also features its own installer, which you can use to download mods straight to the launcher safely. Overall, it’s a great client if you’re looking for something that will give you an edge in PvP.

BatMod

BatMod features multiple mods and the older 1.7 Java edition installments. If you’ve been playing Minecraft for a while now and you’re used to the old game mechanics, such as Blockhit, Rod, and eating animations, you can easily get them through this client.

The client also boosts your frames-per-second (FPS) rate, which is a huge advantage in PVP. Plus, it helps fix your lag and mouse delay along with memory leaks.

An interesting BatMod feature is the Spotify selection screen, where you can play your favorite songs in-game. As such, you can keep yourself entertained while you’re waiting for your opponents to show up or boost your concentration during battles.

Badlion

Badlion’s outstanding feature is its anti-cheat software. It’s constantly being updated to catch the latest hacks, making it one of the most secure ways to play Minecraft. It also has a built-in client modification system, which allows you to do things like change your crosshair and add custom hotkeys.

There are a variety of options for players looking for the best Minecraft client for PVP, all with great features that make playing the game more enjoyable.

If you’re a big fan of fantasy and adventure, then you’ve probably dabbled in the genre of isekai anime. Isekai anime are ones where the protagonist is typically transported to another world, often with a medieval or fantastical setting. While there are definitely some clunkers in the genre, there are also some true gems. Here are what we think are the best isekai anime series of all time.

The Vision of Escaflowne

The Vision of Escaflowne is a fantasy, mecha anime series that follows Hitomi Kanzaki, a high school girl who is transported to the world of Gaea when she faints during track practice. There, she meets Van Fanel, the young prince of Fanelia. When his country is attacked by the Zaibach Empire, he enlists Hitomi’s help in piloting his family’s ancient mecha, the Escaflowne.

The Vision of Escaflowne is an excellent example of an isekai anime. The story is intriguing, and the characters are well-developed. The mecha battles are also some of the best in any anime series.

The Devil is a Part-Timer!

The Devil is a Part-Timer puts a unique twist on the isekai genre. Instead of being transported to another world, the main character, Sadao Maou, is transported to modern-day Japan. He has to start from the bottom and work his way up in society, all while fending off attacks from other demons who have also been transported.

This series is funny and heartwarming, with great characters that you can’t help but root for. It’s a must-watch for any fan of the isekai genre.

The Saga of Tanya the Evil

In this anime series, a Japanese salaryman becomes a reincarnated German girl during World War I after an encounter with God or Being X. The story follows Tanya Degurechaff, who is now a ruthless soldier bent on ascending the ranks of the military.

The series has been praised for its unique setting and characters. Tanya is a great protagonist because she’s so unlikable, yet you can’t help but root for her. The series is also very well-researched, giving it a sense of realism that’s rare in fantasy anime.

InuYasha

One of the OGs when it comes to isekai anime, InuYasha tells the story of a young woman named Kagome who is transported from her time period in Japan to the Sengoku era. She then teams up with the titular half-demon Inuyasha to defeat the evil demon Naraku and find the shards of the Shikon Jewel.

Full of action, adventure, and romance, InuYasha is a timeless classic that still holds up today. Plus, who doesn’t love a good ol’ “demon slaying” anime?

Re:Zer0 – Starting Life in Another World

Re:Zer0 has been praised for its interesting plot, strong characters, and beautiful animation. The anime tells the story of Subaru Natsuki, a hikikomori who is transported to another world on his way home from buying groceries. In this new world, he finds himself unable to use his modern-day knowledge and must rely on his wits and strength to survive.

Sword Art Online

Sword Art Online is another classic isekai series that has been around for years. The story follows the adventure of Kirito and Asuna as they try to escape from the virtual world of Aincrad. The show is action-packed and full of suspense, making it one of the most enjoyable isekai anime to watch.

Cautious Hero: The Hero Is Overpowered but Overly Cautious

Konosuba is one of the funniest anime in the genre. It tells the story of Kazuma, a NEET who dies and is sent to another world. There, he meets Aqua, a goddess who gives him the power to defeat any enemy but also makes him incredibly cautious. The result is a hilarious series that’s also full of action and adventure.

How Not to Summon a Demon Lord

How Not to Summon a Demon Lord follows the story of an otaku who is transported into the body of his favorite character in an MMORPG. He then proceeds to kick some serious demon butt while trying not to succumb to the advances of the women in his new world. This show has it all: plenty of action, fan service, and a healthy dose of comedy.

That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime

This anime series takes the cake as one of the more unique takes on the isekai genre. The story follows Rimuru, a man who died and was reincarnated as a slime in another world. As he makes new friends and expands his kingdom, this show touches on themes of family, identity, and what it means to be human.

The series has been praised for its originality, characterization, and world-building. It’s also one of the funniest anime out there!

No Game, No Life

No Game, No Life is a great anime series that tells the story of two step-siblings who are amazing at video games. The series follows their adventures in an alternate world where everything is decided by games. The siblings work together to try and conquer this new world.

The Seinen genre is aimed at a demographic of older teens and young adults, and as such, the stories and artwork tend to be more mature than those anime targeted at a younger audience. It features stories that are typically darker, with more complex plotlines and characters.

If you’re looking for an anime or manga with complex plot lines and adult themes, then check out our picks for the best seinen manga and anime:

Steins;Gate

Steins;Gate is a seinen manga and anime series that follows the story of Rintaro Okabe, a self-proclaimed “mad scientist” who runs the Future Gadget Laboratory in Akihabara, Tokyo. The lab members create strange gadgets with unknown purposes, and all seems well until one day when they discover that their inventions can send text messages to the past. This revelation sets off a chain of events that leads them down a dark path full of time travel, conspiracies, and death. 

The story of Steins;Gate is engaging and thought-provoking, with plenty of twists and turns to keep you guessing. The characters are well-developed and likable, despite their flaws. The artwork is excellent, and the anime adaptation is one of the best out there.

It’s one of the more popular series and has even been turned into a Hollywood live-action movie. The story is well thought out and the characters are interesting.

Gantz

A black sphere known as “Gantz” tells them that they must participate in deadly games in order to return to their lives.

Akira

As one of the most-known classics, Akira is a seinen manga that was serialized from 1982 to 1990. The story is set in a post-apocalyptic Neo-Tokyo and follows the lives of a group of young delinquents as they get caught up in the city’s dark side. It has been adapted into an anime movie that is considered one of the most influential animated films of all time.

The series has been adapted into a hugely successful video game franchise, and two TV shows are currently in production on Netflix. With such a high profile, it’s no wonder that people are interested in reading the books that started it all. Whether you’re new or a returning fan, here’s how to read The Witcher books in order:

The Last Wish

Although The Last Wish is, technically, the third book released in the Witcher series, it is actually the very first book in the chronology of the stories. This book consists of a collection of stories that Geralt, our main character, has experienced during his many years as a Witcher.

Many of these stories are actually flashbacks and only make sense if you already know what happens later on in the series. Think of it as a prequel collection of short stories, rather than a traditional novel. One story that stands out is “The Lesser Evil,” which is about Geralt being caught in the middle of Stregobor and Renfri, needing to decide whom to trust. This thought-provoking story lets the reader make the judgment on the characters’ actions rather than depict one as more or less evil than the other.

Sword of Destiny

The second book, Sword of Destiny, comes after The Witcher (1990, only released in Poland). Just like The Last Wish, it’s a collection of short stories that depict Geralt’s early years. The stories in this book are a little more serious than in the last one, and they focus on Geralt’s further development as a Witcher.

“A Shard of Ice” and “A Little Sacrifice” are two notable stories in this book. The former tells of Geralt’s complicated relationship with Yennefer, while the latter talks about his affair with Essi, a female minstrel.

Blood of Elves

Blood of Elves is officially the start of the Witcher Saga. This is the book where Geralt finally meets Ciri, the girl who will change his life forever.

You can start with this book if you want to read the main storyline right away. However, we highly recommend reading the short story collections above first. They’re not essential to the plot, but they provide important backstories and context that will make your experience with Blood of Elves much richer.

Time of Contempt

After Blood of Elves comes Time of Contempt. This time, Geralt of Rivia returns to his home country of Brokilon, where he has been living in self-imposed exile for the past twelve years.

The forest of Brokilon is a magical place and it is said that time does not exist there. But when Geralt enters the forest, he finds that things have changed: the elves are now at war with the humans and Geralt is caught in the middle.

Time of Contempt is a dark and complex novel that deals with themes of prejudice, betrayal, and loss. It is also considered one of the most beautifully written books in the series.

Baptism of Fire

In Baptism of Fire, Geralt finally has his memories back and goes on a mission to rescue the princess Ciri. The book itself is split into two parts, the first part follows Geralt and Dandelion as they travel to meet up with some friends of Dandelion’s. The second half follows Ciri as she tries to stay ahead of the Wild Hunt.

While the Witcher series is known for its no-nonsense depiction of violence, Baptism of Fire seems particularly more dark and gritty. The book does not shy away from the horrific elements, whether from monsters or men.

The Tower of the Swallow

In this book, Ciri, Geralt’s adopted daughter, is on the run from the Wild Hunt. She ends up in the city of Novigrad where she meets a group of dwarves. They offer to help her find Geralt if she helps them with a heist. It turns out the heist is a trap set by the king of the city and Ciri is captured. Geralt arrives just in time to save her and they defeat the king and his men.

The Lady of the Lake

The Lady of the Lake is the final book in Andrzej Sapkowski’s Witcher series. This time, Geralt of Rivia is on a mission to find and save Ciri, the daughter of his late friend Yennefer. He is also dealing with some personal demons, as well as the political machinations of Nilfgaard. The book has many twists and turns and is an exciting conclusion to the series.

Optional: Season of Storms

Season of Storms is a standalone novel that’s set years after The Witcher saga. Here, Geralt finds himself battling a monster that’s been terrorizing a small town. While the novel does provide some closure to Geralt’s character, this is an optional read and isn’t necessarily part of the main arc. If you’re interested in reading it, it’s best to do so after finishing the saga.

The show chronicles the Clone Wars, which are fought between the Galactic Republic under Chancellor Palpatine and the Confederacy of Independent Systems under Count Dooku.

The series is about the characters Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Ahsoka Tano, and a clone trooper named Rex. The show also features appearances from other characters in the Star Wars universe such as Darth Maul, Lando Calrissian, Padmé Amidala, General Grievous, and Boba Fett.

How to Watch The Clone Wars in Order

While the decision to release The Clone Wars out of chronological order worked well for the dynamic of the show, it can be confusing for viewers who are trying to watch the series for the first time.

Don’t worry, though. We’ve got you covered. Here is the best viewing order for Star Wars: The Clone Wars in chronological order:

Why Wasn’t The Clone Wars Released in Chronological Order?

The Clone Wars television series was released out of chronological order because of creative decisions made by the show’s producers. George Lucas and Dave Filoni, the supervising director of The Clone Wars, decided that it would be more interesting to model the show to a monthly comic book series.

In a monthly comic book series, the story is told out of chronological order and each issue is its own self-contained story. This allowed The Clone Wars to be more flexible with its storytelling.

Lucas also opted to jump around the timeline and give focus to multiple characters rather than a single protagonist. This way, viewers would get a more well-rounded understanding of the entire franchise.
