One of the most popular exports out of Japan to the West is without a doubt Anime. Since the days of Dragonball Z and Bleach to the early days of Robotech, anime has always found a huge audience out West. And that trend continues to this day, with Anime bigger than it’s ever been, and for good reason. Anime offers incredible animations, with wonderful stories and a varied array of genres to capture every single type of imagination out there. And thanks to streaming services like CrunchyRoll and Funimation, the latest and greatest from Japan is now but a button press away. In 2021, anime fans were treated to some amazing shows and 2022 is shaping up even better. So here are the must watch shows available to you right…

The Japanese Role-Playing Game, better known as a JRPG, has been a staple of gaming since the early days of the beloved pastime. Offering multiple hours of epic stories, insane battles against enemies the size of skyscrapers and hours upon hours of leveling up your team members. From Final Fantasy to Dragon Quest to the Tales of series, JRPGs have become one of the most popular genres of all time. In recent years, Nintendo’s Xenoblade series quietly became arguably one of the most respected and anticipated JRPG and with the new release of Xenoblade Chronicles 3, the series proves that it hasn’t lost any steam. Developer Monolith Soft has once again taken what made the previous installments so successful and built on top of that to deliver the best Xenoblade…

Liv Arnold is an award-winning romance author, mental health advocate and sex advice columnist that pushes all the right buttons. Such an absolute honor to have you on FHM! What are you currently working on? Thank you. I am a romance author and have written the books, Law & Disorder, Etched in Stone and Stepping Stone. I’m a huge advocate for mental health. A percentage of Stepping Stone’s profits are going towards the Anxiety and Depression Association of America (ADAA). I have always had anxiety. Mental health challenges are often seen as taboo. I write characters with realistic issues, so people feel less alone. What is your idea of a really good time? A little one. A two. A one, two, three. A three. A five. A four. A three,…

Firstly, let’s get the pronunciation right because this is one of those rare occasions where Ferrari hasn’t just slapped three numbers to their new model, called it a day and gone to the local pizzeria. Instead, Ferrari’s first crossover needs a name that is as unique as the car it represents with four syllables to curl your tongue around. On paper it’s written as Purosangue but Pur-Oh-San-Gway - the Italian word for thoroughbred - is actually how it’s said. And you’re likely to be saying it a lot in the coming months around every barbeque or car meet because it could totally transform the company in the same way that the Cayenne upturned Porsche’s profits. Another faux pa to avoid would be to call the Purosangue an ‘SUV’. According to…

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 As expected, Samsung would be the ones to create arguably the best foldable phone on the market right now. With its impressive main and cover screens, the Fold 4 has also been optimized for multitasking. Although the device might seem similar in design to the Fold 3, it’s what’s inside that counts. The Fold 4 features a much more powerful Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chipset, a great 50MP primary camera, and updated software that was far better suited to its large 7.6-inch screen. It is still quite expensive though and the camera might not be the best Samsung has to offer, as well as it not being an essential upgrade if you already own the Fold 3, but for any newcomers to the foldable…

A lifetime ago, aged 19, I joined the police with, if I’m totally honest, a principal yearning to be looked after. As an employer, this respected profession gave me everything – job security, a decent wage, prospects, status, companionship, a roof over my head, and identity. My self-worth, for an insecure guy lacking in worldly wisdom, was immediate and all that was required of me was to do the bidding of the State. This, roughly speaking, was arresting villains, and imprisoning the more serious offenders. The latter, colloquially referred to as “banging them up,” appeared to me as a fairly robust mechanism complementing both justice and deterrent. After all, who the hell would ever want to return to one of the many dilapidated UK prisons? Not me! I had visited…

The launch of any Porsche GT3 model generally makes the entire motoring world stand up and take notice and when that model happens to carry the iconic RS letters, the anticipation is palpable. The new model has big shoes to fill; the GT3 RS has earned itself a formidable reputation that goes back nearly twenty years with the erstwhile 996 GT3 RS. For many Porsche connoisseurs, each generation has been considered the definitive track car, and one that you can drive home. Based off the current 992 shape, this latest GT3 RS introduces a more effective aero package along with small power upgrades. The shape is anything but subtle, thanks to a plethora of wings and vents that will have spent considerable time in a wind tunnel. Even parts of…

Let’s see how to answer this question… Honestly, I always work on many projects - I don’t know where to start! If I had to select just one project to share. One of meaning, merit and a triumph for me? I would have to share the fascinating journey of my new life, and the career path that has blossomed these last few years. First, I was bottomed out with stress and despair due to COVID lockdowns. Then I discovered an opportunity as a content creator and now find myself a respected…

The philosophy of identity has been the subject of unceasing debate since the origin of humankind. If you are so minded, you can read the classical scholarly accounts, including the marathon poem ‘The Odyssey,’ understood to have been penned by Homer around the eighth century BC, which, amongst other things, connects with the notion of self. Since I was a kid, and old enough to have deep and meaningful conversations with myself, the enigma of personality has been captivating. As I matured these ambiguities lessened somewhat as I negotiated a career – starting as a police officer ─ getting married and becoming a father. Loss has also shaped who I am. However, since adolescence one identifying feature has remained fairly consistent – the way I look. Save a much later…

BMW plans to launch a range of vegan interiors by the end of 2023. These vegan interiors, which will become an alternative to animal-sourced leather, form part of BMW’s relentless pursuit to reduce overall carbon emissions and reach carbon neutrality by 2050. BMW has been moving away from leather to more sustainable materials over the years and believes this is the next, cutting-edge step for the company’s future. It is reported that BMW’s proportion of vehicle components that contain traces of raw materials of animal origin will fall to less than one percent in the respective BMW and MINI vehicles. According to BMW, most of the emissions produced, around 80 percent, came in the form of methane gas from cattle rearing. The remaining 20 percent was accounted for by processing…
