If you have simply been blown away by all the characters and voice actors in HoriMiya and want to know who voices your favorite characters in the popular anime show, then you are at the right place. Hori-san and Miyamura-kun, or better known as Horimiya, is the anime adaption of HERO and Daisuke Hagiwara’s manga series and the original Hori-san to Miyamura-kun webcomic by HERO. 

The anime show is about a high school student Kyouko Hori who has been hiding another side of herself from everyone and Izumi Miyamura, a gentle person hopeless at studying. In this article, we will take a look at all the characters and voice actors in HoriMiya.

All Characters & Voice Actors in HoriMiya

HoriMiya officially announced the cast for its English dub release last year and for this list, we have included both the English and the Japanese voice artists. That said, below are all the characters along with their respective voice actors in the anime:

Wondering what Fortnite Rule 34 is? Well, we have got you covered. Fortnite is a massively popular Battle Royale and a game that probably doesn’t need any introductions. The game has a sprawling community and has garnered a ton of fans via both its gameplay and out-of-the-box collaborations. 

There are even some unofficial set of rules called Fortnite rules that the game’s community tries to abide by and follow. Not everyone can remember each and every Fortnite rule, so if you have forgotten or simply don’t know what is Fortnite Rule 34, then here’s a quick guide explaining the same.

Before we go on to explain what it means, you must know that Rule 34 isn’t exclusive to Fortnite, and it applies to the whole online space in general. Internet is a wild place now, but it’s almost unthinkable what sort of content one can find on it. But it wasn’t like this.

During the early years, when the internet started growing, there was a large influx of content but no means to sensor them. That’s where Rule 34 comes into play.

What Is Fortnite Rule 34?

Rule 34 states that if there exists something, there will be some kind of adult pornographic content of it somewhere on the internet. As mentioned already, this rule isn’t only for Fortnite but is simply an unsaid rule which happens to apply to Fortnite too.

Today Square Enix released a gallery of new screenshots of its super-popular MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV, focusing on the upcoming update 6.15.

We get to see the brand new side-story questlines “Tataru’s Grand Endeavor,” “Omega: Beyond the Rift,” and “Somehow Further Hildibrand Adventures,” which will bring back a few beloved characters who we haven’t seen in a while.

The Arkasodara Tribal Quests will bring more daily quests and rewards, including a rather cute hippo cart mount, and “Custom Deliveries: Ameliance” will give crafters new tasks to perform.

We already know that the update will go live on June 7. After that, we’ll be still waiting for 6.18, which is supposed to bring forth the much-awaited Datacenter Travel features, which will allow players to visit all of their friends within the same region, bringing an end to sever borders that have been in place pretty much forever.

While we wait for that, you can check out all the brand new screenshots below.

Tons of info about Pokemon Scarlet and Violet have just come out, allowing players to make more informed decisions about which version they’ll want to pick. Just like in past mainline entries, there are different legendary Pokemon in each version, along with other minute changes and exclusives that you might miss. Here’s a rundown of all the differences and exclusives in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet that we know of so far.

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Differences and Exclusives

At the time of writing, we’re still pretty far out from the release of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, so this article will be updated with more in-depth differences about version-exclusive Pokemon as that information becomes available. For now, these are all the differences we’ve noticed.

“I haven’t really had time to let it sink in yet, I don’t think,” says Jeremy Fielding, community manager for Stunlock Studios. When we spoke on Tuesday, their early access vampire sim survival game V Rising had just passed 1.5 million players, far beyond the team’s wildest expectations.

The new and revamped PlayStation Plus, which includes three tiers and bundles together Plus with PlayStation Now in two of them, is now live in Japan. As such, we have our first look at the PS Plus launch lineup of games ranging from PlayStation 5 to the first PlayStation, and even PlayStation Portable too, courtesy of Gematsu.

Of course, it’s important to note that since this is the lineup of games available today in Japan, there’s the possibility this lineup could be just for Japan. The U.S. lineup, which launches on June 13, for example, could be completely different. Only time will tell. However, the Japan lineup could, at the very least, be a great indication of what’s to come. 

Here’s the launch lineup of Plus games in Japan, broken up by platform: 

Coming off a down year that felt indicative of the stagnation that so many longtime players decry when looking at the Madden NFL series, EA Sports has a lot to prove. With this year paying tribute to the late John Madden through three special covers, EA Sports wants to deliver a product worthy of putting his face back on the main cover for the first time in more than 20 years. I spent a day in EA Orlando's offices to learn how this year's game pushes the series forward and applies lessons learned from previous years to deliver several key improvements in this year's product.

PlayStation 4 launched in November 2013 and just three years later, Sony followed it up with the release of both PlayStation 4 Pro and PlayStation VR - so what are the chances of history repeating itself for the latest console generation? We know that a new virtual reality headset is in offing, but what about a PS5 Pro, or indeed an Xbox Series equivalent? Rumours of enhanced consoles have been floating around for a while now, while a recent press event from TV manufacturer TCL suggests that 'gen 9.5' consoles will launch in 2023/2024 - so what's the likelihood of that actually happening?

There are a number of reasons to bet against the arrival of enhanced consoles - not least because we're still mired in an interminably long cross-gen transition that looks likely to extend into the third year of this generation. PS4 Pro and Xbox One X were also designed to support a new breed of ultra HD display and there's no evidence to suggest that 8K or even 4K at 120Hz stands much of a chance of justifying more powerful hardware. Perhaps more importantly though, there's the question of economics, the idea that Sony and Microsoft may not find the route to an affordable console in current conditions, while the rampant inflation, a cost of living crysis and the spectre of recession means less money in the pocket of the audience.

The metaverse has quickly become a popular topic of speculation for tech companies and rich CEOs as they scramble to not be left behind while people look for ways to escape our hellish current-day digital landscape. But the metaverse is (probably) a giant bust, and Strauss Zelnick, CEO of GTA and Borderlands publisher…

Glitchhikers: The Spaces Between isn’t necessarily what I thought it was going to be.

Bandai Namco introduced Johnny Joestar in the new JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R. This is actually a situation in which you're seeing both him and another supporting character, though. This is because Johnny rides Slow Dancer, his horse, in-game. So someone using the character will see Johnny, Slow Dancer, and Johnny's Stand Tusk attacking.

Johnny is the star of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Steel Ball Run and also appears in JoJolion. He’s a jockey and paraplegic, which is why Slow Dancer features so prominently in the story and game. While this is a part of the series and features a Joestar and Stands, it isn’t a part of the same storyline as entries like Stardust Crusaders, Golden Wind, and Stone Ocean.

Riding in from Steel Ball Run, Johnny Joestar and his horse, Slow Dancer, are coming to #JJASBR!

At the end of May 2022, Square Enix confirmed the FFXIV Make It Rain campaign would be back with emote rewards. Now, there’s an update further detailing things people can get. In addition to the Ballroom Etiquette - Soliciting Applause Show Left and Show Right emotes, there will be a Moogle Balloon piece of furniture. New screenshots show how everything will look.

First, the FFXIV Make It Rain Show Left and Show Right emote options appeared in additional screenshots. Two feature it being used with nothing around it. This allows people to see the sparkle effect that will appear to the right or left of the player. In addition to the obvious sparkle, there seems to be a bit of a gold overlay as well.

The Moogle Balloon furnishing is the other new one of the FFXIV Make It Rain rewards. People can get it with MGP from the campaign attendant. Before you buy it, you can also see it at the Golden Saucer as a decoration.
[gallery ids="928949,928951,928950" link="file"]
The announcement confirmed past Make It Rain items will be back. However, it didn't name which ones will appear. It only noted those will be cheaper than before.

Final Fantasy XIV is available for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC. The FFXIV Make It Rain campaign will run June 3-20, 2022.

Back in December 2021, Arc System Works said people would see new gameplay systems in Granblue Fantasy Versus in Summer 2022. Now, there's an exact date for the additions. Granblue Fantasy Versus update 2.80 will appear on June 3, 2022. When it does, it will add Overdrive, Tactical Move: Backshift, and Tactical Move: Rush to the game. All three new actions rely on the Skybound Art (SBA) gauge.

There’s a video going over how each of these new battle actions work in Granblue Fantasy Versus. Folks can see the inputs and how they react with the help of Gran and Djeeta. First, Tactical Move: Rush shows up. It uses 50% of the SBA gauge and requires people to press L2 and the direction they are facing to dash forward. At the 52 second mark, the Tactical Move: Backshift shows up. It is a way to quickly dash backward. Like the Rush, it uses 50% of the SBA gauge. The inputs are similar too. You hold L2 and the direction away from the one you’re facing.

Finally, Overdrive comes up at the 1:25 mark. This is a “mega buff” that is triggered by pressing L2 and R2 when the SBA gauge is full. You can do it once. When you do that, you’ll be able to get increased attack power and your overhead attack will be faster. Your attacks will deal chip damage if blocked, but you won’t take any chip damage. Simple command cooldown will be shortened to match technical commands. You’ll also be able to immediately use your Skybound Art or Super Skybound Art.

Ahead of Klonoa Phantasy Reverie Series bringing back Klonoa: Door to Phantomile and Klonoa 2: Lunatea’s Veil , new gameplay videos appeared. These segments show off both the first and second game. This means people get an opportunity to see how both remasters look. [Thanks, Dancrane212 on Resetera!]

The assortment of videos kicked off with the Klonoa: Door to Phantomile opening movie.

The next Klonoa Phantasy Reverie Series gameplay video shows the very first stage in Klonoa: Door to Phantomile.

The last Klonoa: Door to Phantomile video shows the Rongo Lango boss fight.

Over the years, the Dragon Ball series has evolved from a supernatural martial arts anime to a show about multiversal aliens battling gods with the fate of the universe on the line. Due to this progression, it makes sense that things can get a little confusing when it comes to the series’ order of operations, even when we are just dealing with the first series. Don’t worry, though, as we’ve got everything you need to know about how to watch Dragon Ball in order right here.

All Dragon Ball Episodes & Seasons in Order

Son Goku’s Boyhood Group

1. Emperor Pilaf Saga (Ep. 1-13)
   • Movie 1: Curse of the Blood Rubies (alternate plot)
2. Tournament Saga (Ep. 14-28)

For the most part, Dragon Ball has a pretty straightforward watch order. The only thing that might confuse people is where the movies fall in line with everything. As you can see above, most of the films are either an alternate version of what happened within the saga it is listed under or an altered re-telling of the plot.

Today D3 Publisher released a large gallery of new screenshots of the upcoming action game Earth Defense Force 6.

The screenshots showcase several recently-revealed elements of the game (some of which appeared in the latest trailer).

These include the super-massive kaiju “Siren,” which is the biggest that ever appeared in the series by a large margin, and the alien paratroopers called “Cosmonauts.”

We also take a look at soldiers that should have lost their life at the end of Earth Defense Force 5, but their appearance is not explained.

You can check out all the screenshots in the gallery below.

Today Bandai Namco released another character trailer of its upcoming fighting game JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle R.

The video focuses on Johnny Joestar and his horse Slow Dancer, as they basically form one playable character. On top of that, you’re also getting your required ration of “ora ora ora”. It follows the trailer featuring Jotaro Kujo, another focusing on Jonathan Joestar, and one showcasing Dio Brando.

You can check Johnny and Slow Dancer out below.

A bit confused as to how to play the Fortnite Geoguessr game? Then no worries, you aren’t alone. In fact, we’ve even come up with a handy guide to help break down some of the more intricate details about this game down below. So let’s get into it.

For the uninitiated, GeoGuessr is a browser-based geographic puzzle game that places the player somewhere in the real world and assigns them with finding out where they’ve been located on a map.  This same gameplay has been used by Epic Games for Fortnite and is based on every map from each in-game chapter.

This week on the Electronic Wireless Show podcast we clear up an initial misunderstanding but eventually get in sync and talk about the game things we'd want in real life: health packs, tetris, inventory management. By their powers combined we manage to create an absolutely nightmarish dystopian society where people live forever but cannot put more than four of the same thing in a line. It's bleak. Games should stay in games.

Over two years after release, with multiple seasons of characters added, it looks like Arc System Works and Cygames aren't done with Granblue Fantasy Versus quite yet. Starting tomorrow, a new patch will be applied to the fighting game that will add balance changes to the roster, but more importantly, also add new mechanics to the game.

Patch 2.80 for Granblue Fantasy Versus is ushering in three new mechanics that will undoubtedly change the game in massive ways. First is Rush, a tactical move that dashes the character forward to quickly close the distance on the opponent and strike when they least expect it. Similarly, Backshift is a dash backward that allows for a quick escape from pressure or a dodge to use in dicey situations, like back-dashing on wakeup to foil the opposition's advance. Both are used by pressing L2 on the PlayStation controller (or corresponding mapped button) and the direction you want the dash to move in. Using either of these tactical moves consumes 50% of the Skybound Art gauge, so use them sparingly and only when needed.

In the mainline Pokémon games, there’s always a professor, and they’re always a mentor. It’s practically inviolable at this point. But some fans think the (hot) professors in this year’s Pokémon Scarlet and Violet might actually be the villains. Yes, this is just a theory, but it’s not as far-fetched as you’d think.

EA and BioWare offered an update on Dragon Age 4, which is officially known as Dragon Age: Dreadwolf. It also offered a first peek at the logo. The blog post announcing the title confirmed a returning character would appear as an antagonist. Finally, the announcement closed by saying additional details will come up at the end of 2022.

At The Game Awards 2018, a Dread Wolf rises teaser appeared. It offered a hint that a certain person would return. In Executive Producer Mark Darrah offered hints work was being done on Dragon Age 4 back in 2020. An additional update came at Gamescom 2020. However, it wasn't until The Game Awards 2020 that a better look at the game showed up.

Editor's Note: There will be Dragon Age Dread Wolf spoilers below that suggest elements that will appear in Dragon Age: Dreadwolf.

In Dragon Age, there is an elven god called the Dread Wolf Fen’Harel. In Dragon Age: Inquisition, people learn that one of players’ party members, Solas, is that person. The game ends with a fateful encounter between Solas and another important, recurring character from past installments.

Nintendo is closing in on the late-July release date of Xenoblade Chronicles 3, but there's more to be done before the game launches. For example, teaching potential players how to use the Arts system. A new edition of Nintendo's ongoing "Xenoblade 3 Notes" blog series explains Arts to the laymen in the audience.

As in previous entries in the series, Arts are basically the techniques and special attacks used by characters in battle. Typically characters will automatically attack the targeted enemy, but Arts forms the core of Xenoblade Chronicles 3 combat. They're assigned to the face buttons by default for easy access, though using an Arts technique will trigger a cooldown time that varies depending on the technique's power and complexity.

People won’t need to head to a foreign Nintendo Switch eShop to get Key’s visual novel Loopers. Now that the shop update is live, it is available both inside and outside Japan. People could pick it up, with English, Japanese, and Simplified Chinese localizations, immediately. It costs $24.99.

As the name suggests, Loopers is Key’s visual novel about a Groundhog Day-like time loop. Written by 07th Expansion’s Ryukishi07, who is behind the When They Cry series, it features a group of geohunting individuals who get stuck in a Temporal Spiral. Once inside, all the people reliving August 1st are Loopers attempting to break the cycle. As you go through it, you'll watch and see if people can solve the mystery and break free.

This is one of Key’s kinetic visual novels. This means you don’t make any choices as you go through it. You just read along with the story. Similar games from the company include Harmonia and Planetarian. (The latter is also available on the Switch worldwide.)

BioWare says that using Solas’s namesake “no doubt suggests a spectrum of endless possibilities of where things may go. But at the core of this, like every past game, is you.”

A very merry Pride month to all, and what better way to celebrate than by putting some money in queer developers' pockets and getting more than 500 games (and zines and other such goodies) in return? There's a bit of everything in here, from a bird-run grocery store to a meditation on the decay and connection both inherent to today's internet.

So far, Obi-Wan Kenobi has been filled to the brim with Easter Eggs, name drops, and cameos that fans of the series both old and new have loved. That includes everything from referencing Jedi like Djinn Altis and Quinlan Vos or even hearing James Earl Jones returns as the voice of everyone’s favorite Sith Lord.

Amidst all of these cameos, though, there is likely one actor that appeared in Obi-Wan Kenobi that you didn’t even realize: Zach Braff. Yes, the infamous Dr. John Michael “J.D.” Dorian, M.D himself was actually in episode 3 of the show. So who did he play?

Braff was actually responsible for providing the voice for the alien known as Freck. This Imperial fanboy plays a minor role in the episode, as he gives Obi-Wan and Leia a ride before turning them into some Storm Troopers at a checkpoint.

Thanks to the costume, no one even realized Zach Braff was responsible for voicing Freck until after the fact, as eagle-eyed fans spotted his name in the credits.

Diablo Immortal is an open-world-action RPG title featuring a massive map divided into eight regions. However, traveling the vast areas of the game by foot isn’t a viable option as it will be a fairly time-consuming process. Therefore, Diablo Immortal offers various ways to conveniently fast travel from one point to another. With that in mind, this guide explains how one can fast travel in Diablo Immortal to bring down their travel times.

How To Fast Travel in Diablo Immortal

Fast traveling is the easiest method to move quickly across the different regions of Diablo Immortal. For this, players can use the game’s teleport feature, which can be unlocked after reaching a certain point of the game’s story. Once it’s unlocked, players can fast travel by teleporting to the discovered Waypoints.
