Baki-Dou: The Invincible Samurai continues the long-running Baki saga, picking up after the events of Hanma Baki and introducing one of the anime’s biggest villains yet. After finally settling his conflict with his father, Baki is left with no one left to challenge him. As the champion of the underground fighting world, he effortlessly defeats anyone who steps into the arena against him, leaving him bored and searching for a new purpose. But that sense of calm is quickly erased when a scientific experiment brings one of Japan’s most famous historical figures back to life: the legendary samurai Musashi Miyamoto. Resurrected with the same skills and deadly instincts that made him a legend centuries ago, Musashi immediately begins testing his strength against the greatest fighters of the modern era.

However, adapting to the present proves difficult for the swordsman. Being someone who always stood by honor and who was shaped by war and dueling to the death, Musashi finds himself at odds with modern, softer society. As he carves a path through Tokyo’s strongest warriors in pursuit of worthy opponents, his inevitable showdown with Baki looms on the horizon. Season 1 Part 2 raises the stakes as Baki and the world’s greatest fighters confront a threat unlike any they’ve faced before.

The story follows Liko, a shy and quiet girl who leaves her home to attend the Indigo Academy and begin her journey as a Pokémon Trainer. Things quickly become far more complicated than she anticipated, as the mysterious pendant she received from her grandmother before leaving home turns out to be an unusual heirloom that soon attracts the attention of a shadowy organization known as the Explorers.

While being chased by them, Liko is rescued by the Rising Volt Tacklers, a group of adventurers led by Pokémon trainer Friede. Alongside new friends and Pokémon companions, she sets out to uncover the truth behind the pendant while growing stronger as a Trainer.

Release Date: April 6 | Studio: Bug Films | Streamer: Crunchyroll

Cast: Rena Motomura, Natsuki Hanae, Hibiku Yamamura, Kurumi Haruki.

Coming to an end this month, Witch Hat Atelier has established itself as one of the standout fantasy anime of the year. Set in a world where magic is inaccessible to ordinary people, the story follows Coco, a young girl who has spent her life fascinated by witches and the wonders they can create. Raised by her mother, a dressmaker, Coco assumes magic is a gift people are simply born with, until a chance encounter changes everything. Driven by curiosity and excitement, she attempts to cast a spell herself, only for her actions to trigger a devastating accident that changes her life forever.

Recognizing both her talent and the difficult road ahead, the witch Qifrey takes Coco under his wing, introducing her to a hidden world of magic and powerful forces she never knew existed. As Coco trains alongside other apprentices, she begins to realize that magic is as dangerous as it is beautiful. Filled with breathtaking animation, heartfelt character growth, and a richly imagined fantasy world, Witch Hat Atelier balances wonder with genuinely creepy beats. Add in intriguing villains and complex characters, and it’s easy to see why fans are already hoping for a second season.

Go For It, Nakamura-kun!!

Episodes 10-13

Image via Crunchyroll

Release Date: April 1 | Studio: Drive | Streamer: Crunchyroll

Cast: Chiaki Kobayashi, Yuuki Sakakihara, Takuya Eguchi, Ai Fairouz.

Also wrapping up this month, Go For It, Nakamura-kun!! is a charming romantic comedy that proves sometimes the biggest obstacle to love is simply saying hello. The series follows Okuto Nakamura, a painfully shy high school student who has been hopelessly smitten with his classmate Aiki Hirose ever since they first crossed paths at their school’s entrance ceremony. While Hirose is outgoing, friendly, and effortlessly approachable, Nakamura struggles with anxiety and overthinks even the simplest social interactions.

Determined to get closer to his crush, Nakamura spends countless hours rehearsing conversations and imagining every possible outcome before finally working up the courage to talk to him. Unsurprisingly, things don’t go according to plan, and what should have been a simple hello quickly turns into an awkward misunderstanding, setting the tone for a story filled with equal parts secondhand embarrassment and genuine sweetness. Beneath the humor, Go For It, Nakamura-kun!! is a heartfelt coming-of-age story about friendship, love, and finding the courage to be honest about your feelings. School events, cultural festivals, and everyday teenage experiences help gradually bring Nakamura and Hirose closer together, creating a relationship that feels both relatable and endearing. Funny and surprisingly heartfelt, it’s the kind of anime viewers will be sad to say goodbye to when it comes to an end later this month.

‘ONE PIECE’ Elbaph Arc

Release Date: April 5 | Studio: Toei Animation | Streamer: Crunchyroll

Long before the crew ever set foot on its shores, Elbaph had already become one of the most mysterious and important locations in the world of One Piece. Now, with the Giant Warrior Pirates welcoming the Straw Hats into their homeland, long-awaited reunions, new allies, and unexpected discoveries await around every corner.

Of course, we’re talking about One Piece, so peace never lasts for long. As the crew explores this massive new setting, they find themselves drawn into confrontations and mysteries that could have major implications for the future of the ever-expanding story. With the race for the One Piece treasure entering its final stages, every new revelation carries more weight than ever before.

Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun returns for a fourth season, and once again, Iruma Suzuki finds himself facing a challenge that seems almost impossible. After spending years secretly navigating life in the Demon World, making friends, and steadily climbing the ranks despite being the only human in a school full of demons, Iruma has become an essential member of the chaotic Misfit Class.

This season centers on the prestigious Music Festival, a major event that could determine the future of the entire class. The students are given a daunting objective: all thirteen members of the Misfit Class must reach Rank 4, a feat many consider unattainable. Their best chance of success lies in winning the festival, forcing each student to push their talents further than ever before.

After rising from an ordinary slime to one of the most powerful Demon Lords in the world, Rimuru has spent much of the anime pursuing the dream of creating a nation where humans and monsters can coexist peacefully.

But as Tempest’s influence continues to expand, political tensions begin to rise across the continent.

Among those standing in Rimuru’s way are Granville Rozzo and his granddaughter Maribel, influential figures who believe humanity’s future can only be secured through strict control. Their ambitions put them on a direct collision course with Rimuru’s ideals, setting the stage for a conflict that could reshape the balance of power in the world.

Waka Flocka Returns To Social Media With Brief Message After Revealing He’s Expecting His First Child

On Sunday, May 31, Waka Flocka took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share a brief message with his more than 1.6 million followers. Furthermore, the message arrived as he celebrated his 40th birthday and, hours earlier, revealed that he’s expecting his first child, a baby boy.

On X, Waka seemingly signified his headspace, writing, “Put God before 1st no questions asked.”

More On Waka Flocka Revealing He’s Expecting His First Child

As The Shade Room previously reported, hours earlier, Waka Flocka shared his major life update with a post on Instagram. Specifically, Waka shared a wooden cutout of the letter “J.” Additionally, the wood cutout had the name “Jaquin Jr.” featured on its base.

“Just waiting for you to come home Jr. Best gift a man could ever ask for 🤲🏽👨🏽‍🍼 I walked 40yrs on earth!!” he captioned the photo while celebrating his birthday.

Who Is The Rapper Having A Child With?

Waka Flocka did not disclose who he’s expecting his first child with, so at this time, that information remains unclear.  As The Shade Room previously reported, Waka Flocka was last publicly linked to a woman named Melanie. In January 2024, at the time, he took to Instagram to share a photo of himself alongside her while they were standing in front of a helicopter.

At the time, criticism of Mel prompted Charlie, Waka’s ex-wife’s daughter, to speak out and clear the air.

By March of that year, fans speculated that Melanie was throwing shade at Tammy, per The Shade Room.

At this time, it remains unclear how and if Waka and Mel’s romance progressed after these events.

Euphoria left viewers with so many questions throughout season 3, including whether Maddy and Alamo actually had sex — which Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje is finally addressing.

“It was an interesting scene because it’s so layered. It’s very loaded,” Akinnuoye-Agbaje, 58, exclusively told Us Weekly at the MPTF NextGen Summer Party, which was presented by Delta Air Lines and Waymo, on Sunday, May 31.

Akinnuoye-Agbaje pointed out that his character, Alamo, “had orchestrated the whole sequence” between him and Maddy (Alexa Demie).

“From the bathing suit to the music to the champagne, he knew exactly what he was going to do,” he explained. “So myself and Yana Grebenyuk Sam [Levinson], we discussed that. And whilst it was going to be flirtatious from Alamo’s perspective — and playful — there’s an ominous reality that, you know, you’re going to do what I tell you to do now.”

Related: Which of Euphoria’s Explicit Season 3 Scenes Received Offscreen Backlash?

Euphoria‘s long-awaited return has been met with major backlash due to numerous explicit — and controversial — scenes. The HBO series, which premiered in 2019, has always been known to push boundaries while following teenager Rue’s (Zendaya) attempt to remain sober after struggling with addiction. While the first two seasons were set in high school, […]

Akinnuoye-Agbaje continued: “To answer your question, did he sleep with her? Well, he was not there to play with her toes. For what she’s asking him to do — take out a life and give a million dollars — yeah, he most definitely did what he needed to do with that beautiful lady.”

The confusion originally started after a May episode of the hit HBO show had Alamo make Maddy put on a bathing suit and get in a hot tub with him. He ultimately agreed to help Maddy get the $1 million needed to save Nate (Jacob Elordi), but the scene cut off before the rest of their interaction was shown.

In the season 3 finale, which aired on Sunday, Maddy visited Alamo at his strip club, where he contemplated his life choices. He also made a move on Maddie while proposing they have four kids together. Alamo started to touch Maddy — who got on his lap — before the scene cut out again amid an implied but unseen kiss.

Alamo’s conversation with Maddy didn’t last long, however, because Ali (Colman Domingo) arrived to avenge Rue’s (Zendaya) death.

While speaking to Us at the annual fundraiser, Akinnuoye-Agbaje addressed possible backlash toward Alamo’s involvement in Rue’s fatal overdose.

Euphoria has caused a lot of confusion for viewers throughout the seasons — and now they are asking what exactly took place between Maddy and Alamo. Ahead of the season 3 finale, Maddy (Alexa Demie) had to ask Alamo (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje) for money after Cassie (Sydney Sweeney) found out that Nate (Jacob Elordi) only had […]

“Look, it’s a voracious fan base. It’s really their show,” he said. “It preceded me. I’ve done my part. Whatever they say and do is their part, so that’s where I leave it.”

Akinnuoye-Agbaje then weighed in on the possibility of Euphoria continuing with more seasons — despite Levinson confirming the show is over.

“The beautiful thing about Euphoria is — first of all — this incredible performance that Zendaya has done. She narrates the show and we’ve seen it largely through her perspective,” he noted. “One of the beautiful things is that [her death] opens it up to the perspective of so many of the other characters. Whether they’re within Rue’s group and vicinity, you have Laurie’s gang and you have Alamo’s gang and you have Rue’s friends. There’s room to explore those backstories, those relationships and those adventures that they would have.”

He concluded: “This is TV. There’s always a world in which it could — if they wanted to — [they could explore the world more]. Whether they want to or not … I don’t know.”

Euphoria is currently streaming on HBO Max.

Sydney Sweeney didn’t want to “skirt around” any nudity when it came to her Euphoria season 3 story line, according to the show’s creator, Sam Levinson.

“When I first wrote it … I thought, ‘Well, maybe, we shoot all of this, and we don’t have any nudity,’” Levinson, 41, said during the Monday, June 1, episode of The New York Times’ “Popcast” podcast. “I was talking to her about, maybe, there’s ways to shoot around certain [things] — and she looked at me, and she’s like, ‘Are you kidding? I’m playing an OnlyFans model.’”

Levinson made it clear that he “always” has a discussion with actors about “what works best for the character.” Sweeney, 28, wasn’t afraid to take any risks.

“I think she’s a totally fearless actor. She’s also just wonderfully professional, and shows up just game every day,” he continued. “I adore working with her, because there’s such a flexibility in terms of the performance.”

Levinson said there’s “a lot of trust” between him and Sweeney.

“I can say, ‘Why don’t we try this scene just a little crazier, with a little more humor.’ Suddenly, this whole other version of the scene can come out just based on her performance,” he added. “We’re tackling this world of OnlyFans where women are being paid to whisper into an ear-shaped microphone and lick it. There is a level of absurdity to it that is just fun.”

While other story lines had a more definitive end during the Sunday, May 31, season finale, Sweeney’s was left open-ended with her final scene taking place alongside Maude Apatow. Cassie (Sweeney) was washing her sex toys while her sister, Lexi (Apatow), got emotional over Rue’s (Zendaya) death.

Sydney Sweeney has been candid about what goes into stripping down for nude scenes in Euphoria and other projects. After Euphoria premiered in 2019, Sweeney, who plays Cassie, opened up about the downsides of being naked on screen. “I don’t think as many people took me seriously in Euphoria because I took my shirt off,” […]

Ahead of Sunday’s episode, Sweeney took to Instagram with several behind-the-scenes photos from the show’s final season.

“It’s called… acting,” she captioned the post, which included a nearly nude photo. (Sweeney’s topless scenes received widespread criticism throughout the season.)

Levison previously addressed fan backlash to Sweeney’s NSFW story line during an interview with The Hollywood Reporter in April.

“[Cassie] has got her dog house and her little dog ears and the nose, and that has its own humor,” he said at the time. “But what makes the scene is the fact that her housekeeper is the one filming it.”

He added, “What we wanted to always find is the other layer of absurdity that we’re able to tie into it so that we’re not too inside of her fantasy or illusion. The gag is to jump out, to break the wall.”

Whether it be lingering post-acne marks, sun spots or pesky discoloration, an uneven skin tone can be surprisingly difficult to treat. That’s why Fig.1 Even Tone Serum is essential for getting to the root of the problem, helping address the issue at its source instead of relying on makeup to cover it up. Designed to target discoloration from multiple angles, the lightweight formula combines four dermatologist-loved brightening ingredients to help reveal a more radiant complexion over time.

At the heart of the Even Tone Serum is 4% niacinamide, a multitasking ingredient known for improving skin tone, strengthening the skin barrier, and minimizing the appearance of pores. It works alongside 3% tranexamic acid for stubborn discoloration and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Alpha-arbutin and azelaic acid are also superstars in the formula, helping refine texture. Together, these ingredients help visibly reduce the appearance of hard-to-treat dark spots and general unevenness.

Incorporating the Even Tone Serum into your routine is seamless. After cleansing, apply one to two pumps on dry skin before moisturizer. The texture layers nicely underneath other skincare products, making it suitable for both morning and evening use.

It also absorbs into the skin quickly without leaving behind a tacky film. Makeup lovers will appreciate that it doesn’t pill underneath products, a common complaint with some brightening treatments. Instead, skin feels hydrated and comfortable after application.

Plus, the Even Tone Serum iis suitable for all skin types — yes, sensitive skin included. Whether you lean dry, oily or combination, it feels comfortable without stinging, burning or feeling heavy. Because the formula focuses on brightening ingredients rather than aggressive exfoliants, it’s also a gentler option for anyone looking to address discoloration without compromising their skin barrier.

If dark spots, post-acne marks, or an uneven complexion have been keeping your skin from looking its brightest, Fig.1 Even Tone Serum is worth trying out. Add it to your cart to experience your best skin yet!
