Overly broad? Sure: For one thing, this gloomy outlook couldn't account for...
While you start out in a Dragon Ball Z-inspired world, Anime Eternal is in no short supply of other popular shounen destinations and that's easily its biggest draw. Brawling your way through the streets is the key to unlocking even more themed locations from series like Bleach and Jujutsu Kaisen, but you'll need to beef up to power through.

Countless Reddit threads and social media posts piled up this week strongly criticizing Blizzard's decision to add a MOBA-style draft system to Overwatch 2's popular Stadium mode.
