    The three highest-grossing films of 2015 weren’t necessarily visual marvels. Star Wars: The Force Awakens was full of sweeping gestures, but relied on familiar, nostalgic cues to maintain interest. Jurassic World was all but doomed to exist in the gargantuan shadow of the original film, while Avengers: Age of Ultron sought an overcrowded palette that reeked of post-production overhaul and franchising obligations.

    The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild opens with Link awakening in Hyrule.

Instead, he's the cold, superpowered tool of bureaucracy, a government man here to essentially balance the budget. And that means ripping through everyone that stands in his way.

    What is the best Crunchyroll anime series to watch right now? When it comes to streaming services that specialize in anime, none are more prominent than Crunchyroll. The Sony-owned company began as a pirated video site and has somehow evolved to be top dog in a growing industry, with its success being owed to an expansive catalog of new anime, classic titles, and a fan-friendly marketing approach that has sought to ingratiate itself among the genre's ever-broadening audience.
