    The Shark Week Calendar is Live

    We have been waiting almost one year for the 2025 rundown of Shark Week, and we have finally received the news! The Shark Week Calendar is now live on Discovery! Let me just say…It looks JAW-some! From Shark mating habits to Dancing with the Sharks, there will be a show for everyone! It looks like even the extremely popular show Caught! will be back with Sharks Strike Back!

    Now here is the big news we have all been waiting for. Drum roll please…Dickie Chivell is BACK! The man, the legend, the shark expert we have all come to love, is returning to Shark Week in the new show, Great White Assassins! After his long ordeal with the prospect of never being able to do what he loves again, Dickie Chivell defied all odds and is returning to his life among the Sharks! This time, instead of living underwater or walking along the bottom of the ocean in shark infested waters, Dickie will pose as an Orca to see how Great Whites react. Yup, he is returning to these shark infested waters to learn how an Orca takes down a Great White and the implications this hunting behavior has had on the sharks migrating habits. I will certainly be watching Great White Assassins!

        • Shark expert Alison Towner teams up with Shark Week legend Dickie Chivell to decode how killer whales take down great whites with ease. To get answers, the team travels to New Zealand and goes to the extreme, sending Dickie underwater posed as an orca to see how the great whites react.

        • Shark attack survivor Paul de Gelder attempts the unthinkable – getting attacked by a shark, again. Under the supervision of experts, Paul provokes sharks to attack him in multiple scenarios, where they bite and tear off prosthetic limbs to teach life-saving tactics for surviving an encounter with nature’s deadliest predators.
      • 10PM ET/PT – Black Mako of the Abyss
        • When Shark Tagger Keith Poe saw the shark for the first time, he knew it was different. It was aggressive, 13-feet long and had very dark skin.

      • 8PM ET/PT – Expedition Unknown: Shark Files
        • Global adventurer Josh Gates solves some of the strangest and most disturbing shark mysteries of all-time, including the real-life bloody inspiration for the movie Jaws and the gruesome case of the Tiger Shark who vomited an arm while living in captivity and ultimately helped police solve a murder mystery.
      • 9PM ET/PT – Expedition X: Malpelo Monster Shark
        • Josh Gates sends Phil Torres and Heather Amaro on their most perilous mission yet – tracking a legendary monster shark that lurks in the eerie waters of Malpelo Island, 300 miles off Colombia’s coast.

      • 8PM ET/PT – Surviving Jaws
        • Fifty years ago, Jaws changed the beachgoing experience forever – striking fear into millions of Americans who vowed to never go in the water again. Now, marine biologist Tom “Blowfish” Hird and predator ecologist Michelle Jewell re-examine the movie and dive with Great Whites to separate fact from fiction, answering questions like: does skinny dipping really attract great white sharks? Could a monster shark chew through a boat’s hull?
      • 9PM ET/PT – Caught! Sharks Strike Back
        • This year has set a record for shark encounters captured on camera, from a hilarious moment when a shark slaps a fisherman in the face to the intense 10-minutes a great white stalked a kayaker… these are craziest moments of when sharks strike back.

      • 8PM ET/PT – Great White Reign of Terror
        • In South Africa, two people are killed by great whites near the eastern cape, an area that hasn’t seen an attack in decades. Scientists worry it could be the start of a series of attacks eerily similar to Black December in 1957, when six people lost their lives. Ryan Johnson, Gibbs Kuguru and Andy Casagrande head out to investigate the cause behind the spike in attacks before there’s another fatality.
      • 9PM ET/PT – Florida’s Death Beach
        • The numbers are in, and once again, Florida – specifically New Smyrna Beach – has earned the title of “The Shark Attack Capital of the World,” accounting for 30% of global shark attacks.

When a team sets out to track down the shark responsible for the attacks, they uncover a seismic force that may be triggering aggression in sharks.
        • 9PM ET/PT – Battle for Shark Mountain
          • Off Mozambique’s coast, sharks swarm a hidden peak, hunting Giant Trevally in a once-a-year feeding frenzy. But when 5,000 Trevally fight back, the hunters become the hunted in one of the ocean’s wildest showdowns.

    The Starting Date for the Shark Week 2025 has been Announced!

    Discovery Channel has finally dropped Jaw-some news! The 37th year of Shark Week starts July 20, 2025! That means our summer nights will be filled with shark facts, shark tricks, shark science, and maybe even a few shark absurdities…especially if the SYFY channel gets involved. I do believe we all remember the epic tales of Sharknado.

    However, the absurdities are not fully in the SYFY Channel’s corner. Shark Week is also known to bring in a few characters who think jumping over sharks or swimming in a feeding frenzy are good ideas. This year, Discovery Channel is trying something completely unprecedented; they are hosting their first ever ‘Dancing With Sharks’ Shark Week Special. If you pictured a person in a dress holding onto a shark dancing the Waltz, you may not be far off.

    According to Discovery Channel, five expert divers will “blend skill, grace, and the daring pursuit of the ultimate underwater thrill” in a choreographed competition. The underwater dance will include crazy dance moves that were invented for these performances including the Hammerhead Hoedown and Tiger Trot.

    It would actually be funny to see Dickie Chivell dancing with a great white. In fact…Discovery Channel, let’s make this happen!

    Hosted by Emmy® Award-winning television personality Tom Bergeron, Dancing With Sharks will redefine dancing with danger as each contestant looks to impress the judges with their take on thunniform swimming.

    Discovery Channel will release a full programming schedule for “Shark Week” in the coming weeks. So keep an eye out for the soon -to-be epic list of Shark Week fun!

    Solo Leveling wins Anime of the Year at the Crunchyroll Anime Awards

    On May 25, at the Crunchyroll Anime Awards, fans and judges gathered to hear which Anime series would take the Best Anime of the Year award. Some of the most notable Anime series that could take number one were Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End, Kaiju No. 8, Dan Da Dan, Delicious in Dungeon, The Apothecary Diaries, and Solo Leveling. After the judges made their decision and all the votes were tallied, I am happy to say, Solo Leveling took the win!

    Solo Leveling follows Sung Jinwoo, an E-rank hunter, that keeps getting injured and/or almost killed at every dungeon battle. He continues fighting because he wants to make sure that his sister can go to school and that his mom’s hospital bills are paid for. However, when Sung Jinwoo faces a double dungeon, everything changes. After almost losing his life, Sung Jinwoo reawakens with the rare OP ability to level up his rank. He takes this ability and begins his quest of increasing his powers so that he can find the ultimate elixir to save his mom.

    Combining family love, powerful fights, fantastic voice overs, and one of the best scores I have ever heard in an Anime, Solo Leveling caught the attention of Anime fans all over the world earning its ‘Anime of the Year’ title.

    Of course, Solo Leveling took more than just Anime of the year. Its other wins, which can be found on the official Crunchyroll site, include:

    • Best New Anime Series
    • Best Action Anime
    • Best Main Character – Sung Jinwoo
    • Best Anime Score
    • Best Anime Ending Sequence – request by krage
    • Best Anime Voice Artist Performance – Brazilian Portuguese – Charles Emmanuel as Sung Jinwoo
    • Best Anime Voice Artist Performance – Castilian Spanish – Masumi Mutsuda as Sung Jinwoo
    • Best Anime Voice Artist Performance – English – Aleks Le as Sung Jinwoo (Wakey Wakey)

    Way to go Solo Leveling and all of those involved! You all deserve this win! Now…Will we get a season 3?

    To celebrate Solo Leveling taking Anime of the Year, I have created a Sung Jinwoo Cubeecraft Papercraft. Simply click the image below and save it to your computer. Then print and create by using the instructions below. This Cuneecraft has a lot of black so I used his blue glow to make the edges and fold lines seeable.

    To Build the Cubeecraft you will need:
    Printer
    Card stock
    scissors
    x-acto knife

    To make:

    • Cut out each item along the outer black lines.
    • Cut along the white on each tab using the x-acto knife including in either side of the face
    • Cut along each bright lue lines of the coat using the x-acto knife
    • Fold along each inner solid black/blue line and slide each tab into the slots you createdto form a cube of the head, body, arms, and feet
    • Slide the arms through the blue slots on either side of the body.
    • Slide the feet through the red slots at the base of the body.
    • Slide the now completed body through the red lots of the head.

    Sung Jinwoo is done. Click below to grab the template and create your own master of the Shadowborn
