Weekly recommendations may include any format, media, genre, age range, et cetera. I’ll be recommending work from any release year. Why? Because you just need something to get into every now and then.
The Legend of Korra
- Cartoon Series, 52 episodes
- Action, Adventure, Comedy
Set in the same world as Avatar: The Last Airbender, where some people have the ability to “bend” one of the four elements (fire, air, earth, and water). Only the avatar has the ability to bend all four. Korra is the reincarnation of Aang, the avatar from the previous series, and it is her turn to take on the responsibility of keeping the world politically and spiritually in order.
RWBY: Combat Ready
- Board Game
- Deck Building, Dice Roll, Cooperative
Play as one of five RWBY characters (Ruby, Yang, Blake, Weiss, and Penny) to stop the villain from carrying out his or her evil scheme. Torchwich, Cinder, and Adam are the villains, and more characters, both good and evil, can be added via expansion packs. Two to four players collaborate, swapping between fighting the main villain and dealing with side villains or completing a side quest. There are numerous scenarios to select and create, and campaigns carry over to the next game, where you keep your stats gained from the previous game. For additional information, see my comprehensive review of the game.
Spider-Man/Deadpool Vol. 1: Isn’t It Bromantic
- Marvel Comic
- Action, Comedy
Spider-Man and Deadpool team up to create a fun adventure full of hilarious shenanigans. Deadpool may be too much for Spider-Man at times, but these two are making their friendship work. However, that friendship may be put to the test when Deadpool’s next target is a man named Peter Parker. They must also contend with weird mysteries at Parker Industries, double dates, and a Deadpool: The Movie set in Hollywood.
Howl’s Moving Castle
- Anime Movie
- Adventure, Romance, Fantasy, Drama
Howl is a notorious womanizing, powerful wizard who lives in a self-moving castle. Sophie is the daughter of a hat maker, who is content to spend the rest of her life working at the hat shop. However, when she’s saved by the wizard, the jealous Witch of the Waste curses her to turn into an elderly woman. Sophie joins Howl and his companions in the moving castle in order to return to normal, all while a war rages in the background. Read more about this movie on myanimelist.
