Grey’s Anatomy had said farewell to another series regular.

Midori Francis’ surgical intern Mika Yasuda scrubbed in to Seattle’s Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital for the last time on Thursday, after joining the show at the start of season 19.

The eighth episode of season 21 — also the fall finale of the hit ABC medical drama, which returns March 6, 2025 — picked up after Jake Borelli’s Dr. Levi Schmitt also departed Grey’s Anatomy. Yasuda’s younger sister, Chloe (Julia Rose Gruenberg), tragically died after a horrible car accident when Yasuda fell asleep at the wheel after pulling an all-nighter at the hospital. The combination of Chloe’s wounds from the accident and the impact of chemo on her body from treating her cancer proved to be fatal, and Chloe died from her injuries.

At the start of this week’s episode,...

Reese Witherspoon had a difficult time with her career after her divorce from Ryan Phillippe Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe | Michael Loccisano/FilmMagic

Witherspoon and Phillippe dated for one year before getting married in 1999. It might’ve been love at first sight for Witherspoon, who charmed her future husband when he attended her 21st birthday party.

“I don’t know what came over me — maybe the seven Midori sours — but I told him, ‘I think you’re my birthday present,’ ” she once told Jane (via Metro). “He thought it was so flattering and now that I think about it … how embarrassing!”

When they divorced, however, the two were pretty coy on the details. There were rumors floating...

Kyoto Animation announced on Sep 21, 2024, that Keiichi Arawi’s manga City will be adapted into anime, titled City The Animation, set to air in 2025. This marks Kyoto Animation’s first new project in six years.

The anime adaptation announcement was accompanied by a Pv and teaser visual.

Taichi Ishidate, known for works like Beyond The Boundary and Violet Evergarden, will helm the project.

Voice actors include:

Mikako Komatsu as Midori Nagumo Aki Toyosaki as Niikura Yui Ishikawa as Wako Izumi

City is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Keiichi Arawi. It was serialized from September 2016 to February 2021 in Kodansha’s Seinen manga magazine Morning. It was published in 13 tankobon volumes.

In North America, the series is licensed by Vertical.

Mal describes the plot of City as:

From the creator of Nichijou, this surreal-slapstick series revolves around a penniless college student, Midori Nagumo, who lives in an ordinary city filled with not-quite-ordinary people.

Made in the midst of his run of feverish, postmodern genre films at Nikkatsu, Suzuki Seijun’s Tattooed Life is something of a snapshot of the more patient, probing works that the filmmaker made in the 1980s and beyond. It starts, though, at a frenzy, with yakuza hood Tetsu (Takahashi Hideki) set up from the jump by his bosses to carry out a hit on a rival that’s also meant to sacrifice him as a patsy. His brother, the sensitive and soft-spoken artist Kenji (Hananomoto Kotobuki), ends up killing the other yakuza to save Tetsu, forcing both to flee from both rival gangs and their own superiors, who are seeking to tie up loose ends. Further double-crosses follow as the brothers are conned by gangsters and everyday charlatans making false promises of safe passage to Japan’s Manchuria colony.

The brothers do eventually make it to Manchuria, where they...

Winner for Best Actor (Masato Furuoya), Best Supporting Actress and Best Film from the 2nd Yokohama Film Festival, Kazuki Omori‘s third film has an unusual theme, as it focuses on the lives of medical students during their tenure in a hospital dealing, though, with the details of the profession at least as much as on the characters themselves. That Omori was a medical student himself, definitely helps in that regard.

Where to watch

The story takes place during the 70s, and revolves around Ogino, a tall, timid guy, who tries to balance his rather complicated life, not sure about his overall path. He and a group of other medical students, Kawamoto, who entered medical school due to family expectations; Oshima, a passionate student with a strong interest in medicine; Kato, an older student with a family; Wang, a former baseball player; and the only female, the excellent student Midori,...

After many rumors and a lot of information leaked online, the name and release date of the new game from Ubisoft’s most popular franchise have finally been confirmed. Assassin’s Creed Shadows will arrive in November and promises to be a breath of fresh air for the saga, which had several games that failed to fully convince fans.

However, the publisher is facing negative publicity due to an unusual contest in which fans are invited to contribute their voices to non-playable characters within the game. Participants in this contest will not receive any payment.

Another Controversy Involving Ubisoft Thanks to a Strange Contest Ubisoft introduced an strange contest for Assassin’s Creed Shadows fans.

The upcoming release of Assassin’s Creed Shadows this year has many fans genuinely excited. Followers of the franchise who have tried countless games believe that this title could bring the saga back to a higher quality.

Since Ubisoft dropped the announcement and gameplay trailer for Assassin’s Creed Shadows, the game remains in hot waters with one controversy after another. From the developers’ strange creative decisions to Japanese fans shunning the game altogether, there’s a lot on Ubisoft’s plate before it can finally win people over.

However, one of the most surprising developments surrounding this game has to be how some Japanese folks shunning the game online may not be Japanese in the first place. It seems we have a repeat of Persona leaker Midori’s case on our hands, all in the same month.

It isn’t the best time to be a Persona fan for multiple reasons, starting off with the lack of a sixth mainline numbered installment in the series. But things have gotten worse as a ray of sunshine in the fanbase’s life, the “insider” Midori, who used to provide accurate updates regarding Atlus’ franchise, turned out to be a false identity.

As bizarre as it may seem, the leaker’s X account used to be a prominent source when it came to news about what Sega was up to, but now that the not-so-Japanese MysticDistance has deleted his account, fans of the series may have to find other channels to stay updated with any unofficial developments.

Persona Leaker Deletes X Account, Marking a New Era for the Franchise’s Fans

The leaker’s now-deleted account on X used to be a major source of information for the Persona fanbase.

Persona 5 Tactica leaker Midori shocked the gaming community recently with the wildest revelation that not a lot of people saw coming, and every tweet made since then seems to only dig her into a deeper hole.

After cosplaying as a Japanese woman living in Japan with strong affiliations to Sega/Atlus, it turns out she was nothing that she implied to be. And, with her recent tweets, it looks like she doesn’t get what the hubbub is about at all.

Persona 5 Leaker Midori Is Confused Why People Are So Angry The leaker revealed information about Persona 5 Tactica, Persona 3 Reload’s Dlc, and more.

Hardly a day ago, shockwaves pulsated across X/Twitter, Reddit, and other social media forums, after it was revealed that the highly revered Sega/Atlus leaker Midori was not who she said she was.

While the user @MbKKssTBhz5 gave the impression of being a Japanese woman...

The gaming industry has been hit with a shocking revelation over the past few hours, as one of the industry’s most well-known gaming insiders under the name of Midori has been revealed to have actually been hiding information from the gaming community for the past few years they have been active.

The gaming insider in question is known by the name Midori on Twitter/X and is mostly known for their information regarding Atlus and Sega, the most prevalent being the Persona series, but sadly, this information isn’t what they have been withholding as gamers are being informed that this popular gaming insider is not who they claim to be.

Midori’s Persona Information May Have Been Reliable, but Its Identity Was a Rather Large Fabrication A popular Persona insider turns out to be a fake identity after all these months.

Recently, it has been announced that the...

Hiroyuki Nishiyama offers his second narrative short film, “Blue and White,” capturing themes close to the concerns of his first film “20 db” (2021) but focusing on the effects of loss and what comes after it. Its brief runtime is a delight to see, from the intimacy of its design to the intricacy of the performances.

Blue and White is screening at Short Shorts Film Festival and Asia

The film opens with Ryusuke (Jun Kunimura) starting his day gathering firewood, then cuts to his workshop where he steams seawater to harvest salt. His granddaughter, Midori (Momoko Fukuchi) eventually enters the frame, mumbling to herself why her grandfather is working that morning of her grandmother's funeral. An attendee of the funeral (Toshio Kakei) asks Midori the same question she was mumbling earlier, hinting that it is disrespectful to the dead for her grandfather to not show his face in the funeral.

What is...

After Square Enix recently reshuffled its organization and abandoned some projects in the pipeline, the company is going full speed ahead with those work-in-progress titles that made the cut.

According to a highly reliable leaker on X/Twitter, a Final Fantasy remake is currently in the works. While it’s unfortunately not the one that many were hoping to see, it’s still a great entry in the franchise.

Over the past few months, Square Enix underwent major internal changes. While many staff were cut, Tomoya Asano and his team seemed to be doing well; Asano was promoted to the role of executive officer within the company.

According to industry insider and leaker Midori, also known as MbKKssTBhz5, a Kingdom Hearts and Fortnite collaboration is in the works. While no official date has been set, the news is definitely exciting for fans of both franchises.

The buzz regarding the beloved gaming franchise joining Fortnite’s ever-expanding universe suggests that the series is continuing its recent revival and expansion, and given Disney’s connection to the developers of the two projects, Square Enix and Epic Games, it’s easy to believe this pretty convincing leak.

The Series Joining Fortnite Makes a Lot of Sense

Disney invested $1.5 billion in Fortnite to create an expansive universe.

Firstly, the Disney connection is very relevant. Both of these franchises have strong ties to Disney, making this collaboration a natural fit. This partnership would also be mutually beneficial, as Kingdom Hearts would gain exposure to Fortnite’s vast and younger audience, introducing it to the series.

Baseball, basketball, and soccer remain the kings of sports manga, with some of the most popular titles to date falling under one of those three sports: “Slam Dunk,” “Diamond no Ace,” and “Blue Lock,” for example. Combat sports have also captured the attention of manga fans, with series like “Hajime no Ippo” being the longest continually running series of all time. With so many outstanding, long-running sports manga titles available, there are equal amounts of underrated gems that don't get the attention they deserve.

Here, we present 10 sports manga worth your attention, ranging from purist interpretations to absurd takes on popular and niche sports. These manga offer different experiences and approaches to the genre, so the following list is not ranked.

Grey’s Anatomy is no stranger to losing major cast members. In recent years, it even lost the character the show is named after, although Meredith Grey at least returns occasionally for guest appearances. However, the end of the current season will see two characters leaving the show.

Here is a look at the news on the latest Grey’s Anatomy character exit.

Grey’s Anatomy Losing Two Cast Members

News broke earlier this week that Grey’s Anatomy was losing actor Jake Borelli as part of budget cuts demanded by ABC. Jake plays Levi Schmitt and has been a regular cast member for five years and appeared on the show for seven seasons now. The next few episodes will wrap up his character’s storyline in preparation for his exit.

It turns out this was just the start of cuts to the series as it scales back. Midori Francis, who plays Mika Yasuda...

The fruit for patience is sweet and Persona fans are likely to get it, of course, if they are patient. The hit Sega video game series has been quite popular worldwide and has sold over 16 Million copies while generating around $350 Million in revenue. Now the developers are reportedly advancing to a new level which may well become a new record-breaker in the series.

But it could be miles away if the leaks are anything to go by. A reputable Sega insider who has been dishing out information about the franchise may have some news that may help the fans cheer up a little. Interestingly, the second wind brought in by the leaker could just be the thing they might have been waiting for with bated breath.

Persona 4 Remake May Arrive Later, But That’s Okay The upcoming game in the Persona franchise will likely have a different color scheme.

Persona 6 has started to feel like a myth, as Atlus does not seem to be getting over the success of the fifth mainline game in the series. Originally released in 2016, Persona 5 has had multiple variations through the years, such as a dancing rhythm title and even a tactical RPG launched just last year. The publisher is obsessed with Persona 3 and 5 to take part in any discussion regarding a sixth proper game in the franchise.

However, although there still has not been an announcement from Atlus, the latest leak is in regards to the potential setting of Persona 6, and it really shouldn’t be that surprising for fans of the series.

To No One’s Surprise, Persona 6 May Have a High School Setting Again

Although considered by many academics as one of the best Japanese films of the 80s, and having won a number of awards in Japan, including the Grand Prix from the Young Cinema Grand Prize at the 1985 Tokyo Film Festival and Best Director from Three Continents in Nantes, “Typhoon Club” remains a relatively unknown film in the West.

Typhoon Club is screening at San Diego Asian Film Festival

The story revolves around a number of students attending a school at a suburb in Tokyo, and takes place on a five days span, mostly before and after a typhoon hits the place. Rie is the popular girl in the class, and has a rather strange relationship with Mikami, who is the male equivalent of hers. Both, however, hide some psychological issues, with Rie being filled with self-doubt and Mikami with dark philosophical thoughts, dealing with the way an individual can overcome his species,...

Based on the novel by Haruki Murakami, the former film follows Toru Watanabe (Kenichi Matsuyama), a young man in 1960s Tokyo, as he grapples with the suicide of a friend, as well as fledgling relationships with both the friend’s girlfriend and another woman.

A timeless Daoist quote from the ancient Chinese scripture, the Zhuangzi, goes as follows: “I dreamed I was a butterfly, flitting around in the sky; then I awoke. Now I wonder: Am I a man who dreamt of being a butterfly, or am I a butterfly dreaming that I am a man?” The question has been contemplated time after time: What if our dreams are actually flitting fragments of reality? And what if the reality we experience in our waking hours is only an illusion?

Quite a weird year for Japanese cinema, since there was no definite masterpiece this year, in the fashion of “Shoplifters” for example, while short and mid-length movies seem to have been rising intently in quality, a tendency that actually extended to a number of Asian countries, including Korea. At the same time, the “issues” of Japanese cinema, particularly the lack of mid-budget films and the “Koreeda style” of filmmaking that usually results in invitations to (big) festivals continue to happen, and along with the #MeToo movement hitting the industry quite hard, resulted in a year for local productions that is by no means great. At the same time, however, the size of the industry in terms of number of productions still gave way to a number of titles to stand out, 20 of which are to be found here. This time, the main criteria, besides the always present diversity, is films...

Spoiler Alert: This post contains plot details from the Season 2 finale of HBO Max’s The Sex Lives of College Girls

Everything is in shambles. Or, at least that’s how it seems after the Season 2 finale of The Sex Lives of College Girls. As the school year at Essex College came to a close, the four women at the center of the story seemed to be finishing their first year on a high note — until they weren’t.

Leighton [Reneé Rapp] broke up with her girlfriend, dropped her sorority and jumped head first back into a relationship with her ex, Alicia [Midori Francis]. She is, perhaps, the only one who seems to be in a good place by the end of the season (though rushing back into things with Alicia is bound to cause strife at some point).

Meanwhile, Whitney [Alyah Chanelle Scott] caught Kimberly [Pauline Chalamet] kissing her...

Spoiler Alert: This post contains plot details for the Season 2 finale of HBO Max’s The Sex Lives of College Girls.

Another year has come and gone at Essex College. Season 2 of The Sex Lives of College Girls ended on a tumultuous note Thursday, as Leighton, Kimberly, Bela and Whitney finished up their first year at the elite private university.

If you’re feeling mixed emotions about how things went down, you’re not alone. Reneé Rapp — whose character Leighton quit her sorority, broke up with her girlfriend, and rekindled her romance with her former flame, Alicia [Midori Francis] — isn’t quite sure how she feels about it either.

“I mean, she has a lot going,” Rapp told Deadline during a recent interview ahead of the finale. Episode 8 ends with Leighton receiving a text from Alicia asking if they can reconnect after the pair broke things off in Season 1 because...

On the JoBlo Movies YouTube channel, we will be posting one full movie every day of the week, giving viewers the chance to watch them entirely free of charge. The Free Movie of the Day we’re getting this week started with is a very cool one, as it happens to star Oscar-winner Russell Crowe! Crowe was born in New Zealand and got his start working on Australian projects – and today’s free movie, the 1997 crime thriller Heaven’s Burning, was the last Australian production he worked on for almost twenty years. You can check it out over on the JoBlo Movies YouTube channel, or you can just watch it in the embed at the top of this article.

Directed by Craig Lahiff from a screenplay by Louis Nowra, Heaven’s Burning has the following synopsis:

Thrown together amid chaos and violence, a man and a woman stumble upon unexpected passion.

Following the excellent “Orphan’s Blues”, which won the Grand Prix and the Hikari TV Award at the 40th Pia Film Festival, Riho Kudo released her commercial debut, “Let Me Hear it Barefoot”, which was the Pff Scholarship Film for 2021.

Naomi works for his father’s disposal business, picking up people’s junk day in and day out. He keeps some choice finds for himself in a private garage, where he wishes for a better life away from home. At the same time, he has trouble connecting with the people around him, barely having any friends, while his relationship with his father lingers somewhere between the formal and the completely disconnected. One day, though, he runs into Maki while swimming at a local pool, who is essentially the exact opposite of him, always cheerful and eager to connect, and eventually also meets his blind adoptive mother, Midori, who shares her...

“The race in Shibuya has given Kikuzato a taste of what running and competing on a blade could be, but it will take more than a new leg for him to truly be a contender the next time he races. Kikuzato needs to learn how to run, and Usami is only too happy to give him some pointers after school at track and field club. Kikuzato thought his days of training with a team were behind him, but with the club members’ help, the path to becoming a runner opens before him—though not without a few hurdles along the way!” (Yen Press)

The measure of any sports manga worthy of merit rests on the ability to draw in the reader, even if they have a limited insight into the sport itself. Undeniably, the world of Paralympics is not one with mass mainstream appeal even...

Back in the late 19th century, Japan started to modernize itself to catch up with the West and to raise its economic and military power. This effort however, had a significant impact to the country’s long lasting healthy ecosystem, with the extinction of the Japanese wolf being one of the consequences. Taking inspiration from this fact, Masakazu Kaneko pens and directs “Ring Wandering”, a rather interesting movie that unfolds on a number of levels.

“Ring Wandering” is screening on Fantasia International Film Festival

Harry Shum Jr. is dancing his way into the operating room. The Glee alum is set to play resident Daniel "Blue" Kwan in season 19 of Grey's Anatomy, E! News can confirm. His character is described by ABC as "sharp-witted, impatient and brilliant."  "He is generous by nature but competitive to a fault, naturally gifted, and used to winning at everything," the description continues. "A family crisis interfered with his career plans and now he's got a lot to prove." The latter sentence might explain why Harry's character is slightly older than the other first year medical residents, who are played by Adelaide Kane, Alexis Floyd, Niko Terho and Midori...

Grey Sloan Memorial's teaching program is back up and running. In the season 18 finale of Grey's Anatomy, the hospital was told it had to revamp its teaching program, forcing the hospital to let go of its young doctors.
