Panini will launch a trading card game based on the Attack on Titan anime.

VIZ Media announced new manga, an art book, and an anime at Otakon this past weekend.

After a bunch of slow weeks the pace of home entertainment offerings picks up this week with the release of the latest installment in the biggest horror film franchise of all time, plus the first season of the densely-populated DC Comics-based series Legends of Tomorrow , a Twin Peaks -infused take on the teen heroes of Archie Comics, the latest season of Once Upon a Time , and a great collection of vintage Sheena TV series and movies.

Two top-selling manga franchises are coming to an end, but Netflix's latest anime announcements may give some new series a boost, and the Death Note movie looks promising as well.

The ugly situation actually speaks to a larger issue affecting fan events that have seen their popularity grow during the "peak geek" era.

The Dog Days of August don’t typically see the release of great films on disc, and this week is no exception with three of the summer of 2017’s many box office duds getting home entertainment releases including a frenetic Arthurian fantasy from Guy Ritchie, a rare comic misfire from Amy Schumer, and a failed “reboot” of the Wimpy Kid series, though this week’s lineup is leavened a bit by new seasons of Portlandia and Blindspot as well as the disc debut of Tokyo Ravens .

Sony Pictures Television Networks will acquire 95% of anime distributor FUNimation Productions for $143 million.

The big fall home entertainment releases are still a few weeks away, but this week the caper comedy Going in Style offers sheer entertainment, while the social media-examining The Circle raises plenty of interesting questions, the dark comedy Big Little Lies features a A-level cast in a prestige series that has been nominated for 14 Emmy Awards, while the BBC series Fortitude is a claustrophobic thriller set on the top of the world, and Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin is a 2015 retelling of the original Gundam TV anime.

VIZ Media, Vertical Comics, and Drawn and Quarterly announced new manga licenses at Comic-Con International in San Diego.

Bushiroad is drawing on the Accel World anime for a second time this year with the Accel World – Infinite Burst expansion for its Weiss Schwarz trading card game.
