The return of one of the greatest icons of fantasy cinema Since its first appearance on the big screen in 1954, Godzilla has become one of the most recognizable characters in fantasy cinema, starring in numerous films and captivating generations of viewers. That is why the announcement of a new installment has sparked great anticipation among its fans, who are eager to discover whether this adventure will manage to surprise them and maintain the appeal of a franchise that continues to generate interest around the world. Release in Spain Godzilla Minus Zero will arrive in Spanish cinemas on November 6, 2026, three days after its release in Japan, scheduled for November 3, a date known as Godzilla Day because it coincides with the anniversary of the monster's cinematic debut in 1954.Distribution in Spain is handled by Version Digital. Everything about the production Takashi Yamazaki returns to the helm of the film as director, screenwriter, and visual effects supervisor, following the international recognition he received with Godzilla Minus One (2023), which won the Oscar for Best Visual Effects.The production, filmed entirely in Japan, is handled by TOHO Studios and ROBOT, while the company Shirogumi is in charge of the visual effects. Yamazaki's return maintains the creative continuity between the two films, while the new installment once again combines the spectacle of Godzilla with a story set in post-war Japan, where the consequences of the conflict continue to shape the lives of its inhabitants. Technical innovations for Godzilla Minus Zero The main innovation is that Godzilla Minus Zero becomes the first Japanese production filmed using the Filmed for IMAX standard, for which IMAX-certified digital cameras were used, and the image and sound were optimized for the characteristics of these theaters. In addition, some sequences take advantage of the expanded 1.43:1 aspect ratio, which allows for a taller image on compatible screens.The commitment to this format is particularly relevant in a film in which Godzilla's dimensions and the destruction he causes take center stage. The plot of Godzilla Minus Zero The action is set in 1949, two years after the events of Godzilla Minus One, when Japan has begun to recover from the devastation of World War II. However, the apparent peace does not last long: the monster was not completely destroyed, and a new threat once again puts the country in danger. The story brings back Kōichi Shikishima and Noriko Ōishi, played by Ryunosuke Kamiki and Minami Hamabe, respectively, who return in this sequel alongside new characters, including Kanji Murakami, a biologist suffering from the psychological aftermath of the war, and Makoto Aoyama, a meteorologist involved in disaster response.The trailer shows a new operation to combat Godzilla, although it has not yet been revealed how the confrontation will unfold. Meet the Cast of Godzilla Minus Zero The film brings back several characters from Godzilla Minus One and introduces new figures involved in responding to the threat.These are some of the main cast members and their roles: Ryunosuke Kamiki as Kōichi Shikishima: the former pilot who survived Godzilla's first attack and is trying to rebuild his life after the war. Minami Hamabe as Noriko Ōishi: the woman who survived Godzilla's attack on Tokyo and whose story remains linked to Kōichi's. Sae Nagatani as Akiko: the orphaned girl taken in by Kōichi and Noriko. Hidetaka Yoshioka as Kenji Noda: the scientist who participated in the attempt to stop Godzilla and now heads the Office of Major Disaster Management. Yuki Yamada as Shirō Mizushima: the young crew member of the Shinsei Maru who participated in the fight against the monster. Kuranosuke Sasaki as Seiji Akitsu: the captain of that vessel. Sakura Ando as Sumiko Ōta: Kōichi's neighbor, who runs an orphanage. Mio Tanaka as Tatsuo Hotta: former captain of the destroyer Yukikaze. Min Tanaka as Kanji Murakami: a biologist suffering from the psychological aftermath of the war. Masami Nagasawa as Makoto Aoyama: a meteorologist with a talent for developing strategies to deal with major disasters. Jun Kunimura as Dr. Ogata: a doctor who treats the victims and whose involvement appears to be linked to major events in this new installment. Kou Maehara as Akira Hagiwara: Professor Murakami's assistant. A sequel that must live up to Godzilla Minus One With the return of the Shikishima family and the addition of specialists who must face the new crisis, Godzilla Minus Zero expands the story that began in 2023 and once again places Japan in the face of the consequences of a threat that seemed to be behind it, promising a great story worthy of its predecessor, although the outcome will be left to the judgment of those who go to see it. Are you ready to face the return of Godzilla alongside the protagonists?

The return of Zelda: Ocarina of Time presents a new way to explore Hyrule and discover the secrets of an adventure that defined a generation. Changes to the controls, music,...
The long-awaited remake launches… Nintendo has confirmed that The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time will arrive exclusively for Nintendo Switch 2 on November 5, 2026, with physical and digital editions, accompanied by an announcement featuring the first images of this new version of the adventure originally published in 1998. The official game page allows you to view the available details and purchase options, while the project is presented as a reconstruction of the classic, with visual and technical changes that affect the way you explore Hyrule and follow Link's story. Graphics, music, and controls: the confirmed new features The visual presentation has been completely overhauled, including the textures of materials and environments. Nintendo has also updated the sound effects and replaced the soundtrack with an orchestral version, in addition to adding voice acting and expanded dialogue to the scenes, so encounters with characters will provide more information than in the original game. The controls incorporate major changes to adapt to a more modern experience, so Link can jump and run using new commands, while the right stick allows you to control the camera with greater freedom. The company also states that actions respond more quickly and that loading times have been reduced. The game also includes additional elements to view information about the world and track your progress in the adventure, including a record of defeated enemies and a tapestry that shows the player's progress—resources that may be useful for those who want to learn more about the game's details while exploring its environments. Link's story and a major change for the Ocarina For those unfamiliar with the game's story, here is a brief introduction… The adventure begins in the Kokiri Forest, where Link receives the mission that will lead him to face Ganondorf, the villain who intends to seize the Triforce, a sacred object linked to the fate of Hyrule. Along the way, Navi, the fairy who accompanies the protagonist, provides directions during the journey, while Princess Zelda also plays an essential role in the events. Exploration takes Link through different areas of the kingdom, where he will need to solve puzzles, overcome dungeons, and face enemies, as progress depends largely on observing the surroundings and finding ways to access places that initially seem inaccessible. The Ocarina of Time, meanwhile, is an essential tool for progressing, as its melodies trigger magical effects and allow you to solve specific situations, so learning the songs has a direct practical use during gameplay. It is precisely because of this importance that in this edition, Nintendo has added a feature that recognizes melodies played or hummed near the console's built-in microphone, allowing the player to activate learned songs without relying exclusively on the usual controls, making the experience feel much more immersive. What has changed compared to the Nintendo 64 version? Those familiar with the 1998 title will find a very different presentation, with reconstructed environments, an orchestral soundtrack, and characters with spoken dialogue, as we have already mentioned. They will also need to get used to the new movement and camera controls, which change the way you move through and view the environments, although they aim to provide a better experience. Meanwhile, the adventure's main structure retains its starting point: Link must stop Ganondorf and protect Hyrule, and exploration, dungeons, and the use of the Ocarina continue to play a central role, although the technical improvements and additional resources offer an experience different from that of the Nintendo 64. For those who have never played the original, this edition can serve as an entry point to one of the most well-known titles, as it will not be necessary to know the story beforehand to follow Link's journey, although it is advisable to pay attention to the characters and clues that appear during the adventure. Additional features and tips for getting started Before setting out to explore, it is advisable to learn about the help options that accompany the game. Nintendo has announced ZELDA NOTES, a service linked to the Nintendo Switch app for compatible devices, which allows you to view daily achievements, tackle challenges that involve locating places from images, and use an Ocarina from your phone. You can also use amiibo figures from The Legend of Zelda series to earn in-game extras, and the new Child Link and Child Zelda figures, planned for 2027, will allow you to unlock masks with a graphic appearance inspired by older versions. If this is your first playthrough, explore each area without rushing and read the dialogue carefully: some characters provide clues that help you overcome obstacles. Becoming familiar with the camera and trying out the Ocarina's melodies when the game allows you to will also make progressing easier. Meanwhile, those returning from the Nintendo 64 version can discover the new features at their own pace, without having to relearn the story from scratch.

Azeroth is marked by weapons capable of absorbing souls, channeling elemental forces, and unleashing extraordinary magical power. With the return of WoW Forever, discover what sets some of Warcraft's most...
WoW Forever: a new chapter for classic Azeroth World of Warcraft: Forever is Blizzard's new release, bringing back the original continents of Azeroth and offering a refreshed experience with new stories, zones, dungeons, and content to continue progressing up to level 60. Rather than a simple re-release, it is designed as a permanent world that will grow with future updates and coexist with the modern and classic versions of World of Warcraft. Its worldwide launch is scheduled for November 4, 2026, and access will be included with an active World of Warcraft subscription or game time. Today, the return to the original settings also invites us to remember some of the most iconic items in the Warcraft universe, including the weapons that have accompanied its heroes and villains, from swords bound to ancient curses to hammers capable of channeling elemental forces. Although not all of them can be obtained in the game or belong to the classic era, they are part of the stories that have given Azeroth its personality, so below we review some of the most iconic ones to celebrate the news with you in our own way. The legendary weapons of Warcraft Frostmourne: Arthas's cursed sword Known in Spanish as Agonía de Escarcha, it is a sinister-looking runeblade whose edge is surrounded by dark, icy magic. Its power goes far beyond the damage it can deal in battle, as it is capable of absorbing the souls of those who fall before it and subjecting its wielder to a corrupting influence. Ashbringer: the sword against the undead It is a powerful sword, recognizable by its luminous blade and the holy energy it uses against the undead. Its original name, which can be translated as Ashbringer, is linked to its ability to fight the creatures of the Scourge, against whom it is especially dangerous. Throughout Warcraft history, it has had different versions, including a corrupted form in which its holy power is a darkened version twisted by evil forces. Doomhammer: the hammer of the elements Known as Martillo Maldito, it is a massive warhammer associated with the orcs and, in particular, with Thrall. Its sturdy design, with a metal head built to crush its adversaries, reflects its nature as a melee weapon, although its importance does not depend solely on its physical strength; it also represents a connection to the elements, whose energies can be channeled to enhance its attacks. Shalamayne: the two-bladed sword It is a uniquely designed sword born from the union of two elven weapons, Shalla'tor and Ellemayne, combining both blades into a single large weapon. This gives it an imposing presence and makes it an unmistakable piece in Azeroth's arsenal. Azzinoth's Glaives: Illidan's blades They are two curved weapons recognizable by their aggressive design and their close connection to Illidan Stormrage. Their blades are linked to demonic power and fit the demon hunter's fast combat style, which combines physical attacks with supernatural abilities. Their distinctive appearance and presence in the Black Temple made them some of the most coveted weapons for World of Warcraft players. Gorehowl: the axe of the Warsong It is a massive war axe with a heavy blade and a design intended to represent the brute strength of orc warriors. Although its power is primarily based on the force of its blows, it is also famous for its connection to the Warsong's warrior tradition. Its most prominent wielder was Grommash Hellscream. Quel'Delar: the elven sword It is an elven sword whose elegant design contrasts with the harshness of orcish war weapons, and whose value lies in the legacy it represents for the elven peoples. Thunderfury: the sword of the wind Known in Spanish as Trueno Furioso, it is a legendary sword associated with the power of the wind and elemental forces. Its blade is linked to an energy capable of unleashing electrical attacks, allowing it to strike enemies with a force that goes beyond steel. Atiesh: the Guardian's staff It is a magical staff associated with the Guardians of Tirisfal and Medivh. Its design, typical of an object intended to channel magic, represents a tradition of arcane power linked to some of Azeroth's most important sorcerers. Unlike swords and hammers, its function is associated with the mastery of magical energies, and obtaining it in the game required gathering fragments and completing a particularly difficult process. Sulfuras: Ragnaros's hammer It is Ragnaros, the Firelord's massive hammer, and is linked to the destructive power of flames. Its imposing appearance and elemental nature make it a weapon capable of dealing devastating damage, fitting the strength of its owner. However, players could also craft a version of the hammer using a specific recipe and materials, which required gathering rare resources in the game. The Helm of Domination: the Lich King's helmet Although it is not a weapon, the Helm of Domination is one of Warcraft's most recognizable relics because of the power it wields over the Scourge. Its function is to control the undead and subject them to a dominant will, making it a threat even without directly participating in combat. Its dark and menacing design is linked to the figure of the Lich King and the magic that sustains his rule.

Japanese folklore preserves tales and supernatural beings capable of evoking fascination, unease, and curiosity, whose traces are still present in numerous manga and anime works. Through various legends and their...
Yūrei, onryō and yokai: Three concepts from Japan's supernatural world Japanese folklore brings together a wide variety of spirits, creatures, and supernatural phenomena that have inspired a variety of stories, eventually reaching manga and anime. Among its most well-known figures are yūrei, onryō, and yōkai, three concepts related to the supernatural world that help us understand the Japanese view of it, although each has its own characteristics. What are yūrei and onryō? In both cases, they are the spirits of deceased people, and for this reason, they are traditionally depicted as figures dressed in white, a color associated with mourning, with long, dark hair, as it was believed that it continued to grow after death, and with outstretched hands. What differentiated them was their motivation. Yūrei are usually associated with attachments, unfinished business, intense emotions, or the absence of the necessary rites to bid farewell to the deceased, as well as other circumstances that keep them tied to this world. Their image became especially associated with theater and Japanese art, although manga and anime later adopted these traits to represent human ghosts and supernatural tales. This, combined with Eastern horror cinema, helped spread this view. Onryō, on the other hand, are a specific type of yūrei related to resentment and revenge. They are violent entities that can also manifest through misfortunes affecting more than one specific person or even entire communities, as a person who suffered an unjust death could become a spirit capable of causing misfortune. This belief was linked to the worship of goryō, through which certain spirits were appeased and their power was turned into protection for the community. Among the historical figures associated with this tradition is Sugawara no Michizane, whose spirit, after his death, was linked to various misfortunes and eventually came to be venerated as Tenjin. What are yōkai? The term yōkai encompasses supernatural beings, creatures, apparitions, and strange phenomena found in various Japanese traditions, forming a much broader category.Some have animal or hybrid forms, others have a human or humanoid appearance, and some are associated with specific places or situations. There are even some linked to everyday objects that acquire supernatural characteristics when certain conditions are met, such as tsukumogami. Many even have their own names, as if they were a particular species, such as Wanyūdō, flaming cartwheels, or Biwa-bokuboku, biwa musical instruments with humanoid features. Anime has drawn on many of them, making them world-famous, such as kappa, yuki-onna, tengu, and rokurokubi, and even incorporating the term into series like InuYasha. Traditional legends that left their mark on anime Some legends inspired a wider variety of anime and characters than others, so below we present some of them that you might recognize, although you may know even more… Hōichi and the spirits of the dead The story of Hōichi the Earless is one of the best-known Japanese supernatural tales.Hōichi was a blind musician who played the biwa and recited the history of the war between the Taira and Minamoto clans. One night, a warrior appeared before him and asked him to accompany him to play for his lord. After accepting, Hōichi left the temple for several nights to go to the designated place, where he performed the Battle of Dan-no-ura. However, his absences worried the monks, so one decided to follow him.He discovered that Hōichi went to a cemetery near the coast to honor the dead from the battle, playing at the graves of the Taira warriors and surrounded by their spirits, who drained his life force, weakening him.Upon returning, the monks decided to protect him, covering Hōichi's body with Buddhist sutras to make him invisible to the spirits before the next night. However, they forgot to cover his ears. When the warrior returned, all he saw were the ears, and thinking there was nothing else left of him, he tore them off to take as proof that he had been in search of Hōichi. In this story, the Taira warriors are spirits still linked to the memory of the battle in which they died and the place where they are honored, seeking to hear the narration of the battle that keeps alive the memory of their past and the events that shaped their fate. Although no evil intent is assigned to them per se, Hōichi ends up involuntarily becoming a victim of the spirits who had yet to find peace. This is one of the classic tales of Japanese supernatural folklore and was adapted alongside other traditional stories in 1976 in the horror anime “Manga Nihon Mukashi Banashi.” In addition, Hoji Tsuchiya has been working on a short film inspired by this legend since 2011. Although it is still in development, it was included in the Hiroshima Animation Season 2025 program, so its release is expected by next year at the latest. Kuchisake-onna, the slit-mouthed woman Kuchisake-onna is one of the most well-known and widely depicted spirits.She is a woman with a beautiful figure who appears with her face covered and asks those she encounters on the street in an enchanting voice: “Do you think I’m beautiful?”If she receives a “yes,” she reveals her mouth, slit from ear to ear, and asks again: “And now? Do you still think I’m beautiful?”According to one of the best-known versions, answering “yes” causes her to follow the person and slit their mouth so they will look “just as beautiful,” while answering “no” or showing fear or disgust provokes a violent reaction and ends with her killing them. Although there seems to be no escape from the blade of her scissors, the weapon she is usually depicted with, other versions say that answering “normal” or “so-so” can be salvation, and even answering with a question can confuse her and allow escape. Associated especially with Gifu Prefecture, she later spread to different areas of Japan. Although the covered face, the question about her beauty, and the slit mouth that gives her name are her most recognizable elements, her origin varies depending on the version.Among the best-known, it is said that she was a woman of great beauty whose husband, blinded by jealousy and convinced of her infidelity, slit her mouth into a smile from ear to ear before murdering her. In other versions, the culprit was a samurai, and the circumstances changed, but always, after her death, she returned as a vengeful spirit wandering in search of new victims, forcing them to face the question that seems to torment her: is she still beautiful? Other modern versions attribute her appearance to a failed cosmetic surgery, demonstrating how the legend has incorporated new fears and warnings over time. Her presence in various Japanese works of fiction has made her one of the most recognizable urban legends, as she has given rise to numerous horror film adaptations throughout history and has also reached manga and anime.Destined to appear in Gakkō no Kaidan (Ghost Stories 2000-2001), a children’s horror anime focused on supernatural phenomena and apparitions where Japanese urban legends come to life, the episode was canceled before its broadcast due to complaints from the cleft lip support association. However, she appears as the “ghost host” presenting the Gakkō no Kaidan SP (2005-2009) shorts.In Jujutsu Kaisen, she is referenced as a cursed spirit controlled by Suguru Geto, retaining characteristic elements such as the question about her beauty, the scissors, and the threat of answering incorrectly. Yuki-onna, the snow woman Associated with snowstorms, she usually appears as a woman with pale skin and white clothing who can freeze men who get lost in the mountains or lead them to their deaths, attracting them with her fragile beauty. Although her victims are only those who harbor evil intentions or impure thoughts, there are stories where she helps good-hearted people survive... Her legend has inspired characters and stories within anime, from Yu-Yu Hakusho to GeGeGe no Kitarō and Jigoku Sensei Nube, although also outside of it, and her presence in different types of stories demonstrates her ambiguity, highlighting everything from her danger to the nostalgia evoked by her image, depending on how each story or character chooses to interpret it. Hone-onna, the bone woman Hone-onna is a yōkai that takes the appearance of a beautiful woman, although she can reveal her skeletal nature once she has captured the attention of her victims, whom she often attracts with her crying...She is related to Japanese stories of entities that use beauty and deception to lure their victims, and she is often associated with the image of an Oiran, or with the spirit of a lady deceived by her lover and sold against her will, whose body was abandoned after death, thus becoming this spirit over time. In anime, her appearance in Jigoku Shōjo stands out especially, where she is part of the main cast alongside other beings (Wanyūdō and Ichimoku Ren, whose name and design are related to Ichimokuren, a traditional supernatural entity depicted as a one-eyed dragon; it is a yōkai that arose from a sword), and the protagonist, Enma Ai, a human spirit summoned by those who want to take revenge on someone.And in various adaptations of GeGeGe no Kitarō, one of the most representative series of horror and mystery anime inspired by yōkai. Beyond horror: supernatural beings in anime It is necessary to highlight that, although we are talking about the inspiration of these creatures for horror anime, such as GeGeGe no Kitarō, one of the most representative series of horror and mystery anime inspired by yōkai, their participation is far from being limited to this genre. Within the Eastern conception, their existence is not necessarily aimed at causing fear, and the beings of their supernatural beliefs go beyond good and evil or human moral conceptions, and they usually even seek to leave some kind of lesson or moral.In this way, the inspiration of yūrei, onryō, and yōkai is reflected not only in the pure horror genre, but also in psychological genres and even in other quite different genres, where their appearance is not focused on frightening, but on showing them as characters with their own natures, finding highly recognizable examples of this in InuYasha, xxxHOLiC, or Natsume Yūjin-chō.
