The upcoming release of Grand Theft Auto VI is already closer than it has ever been before, taking into account when the two previous delays were announced, and it’s fair to say that excitement is understandably ramping up. Unfortunately, we haven’t really heard much from Rockstar officially, and that has started to become galling for gathered fans. The most recent communication we have seen comes from a more tertiary approach, with a few interesting tidbits from Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick, as well as the report on the game’s progress as part of the company’s earnings call.

What some anime fans may not realize is that those dynamics weren’t always a staple of shōnen storytelling. Years before Team 7 became one of the most recognizable anime teams, Sailor Moon stood out as…
The engine cuts out. The sails fill. The boat tilts just slightly to one side and begins to glide. Quietly, smoothly through water so clear you can count the rocks six meters down. That moment, somewhere between Brač and Hvar, is why you come to Croatia on a sailing trip.
