But, hey, these guys with knowledge of the future can actually influence history, can’t they? Unfortunately, they frequently get this close before being yanked back into the time stream. The Tic-Toc team (okay, it’s sounding sillier by the minute) are able to communicate with them in the different eras they arrive in, and attempts to pull them back to the present but send them instead to different periods in history. Anthony Newman (James Darren - hey, Vic Fontaine from Deep Space Nine!) enter, and are plunged through time. The premise is kind of cool: Project Tic-Toc (okay, that part definitely diminishes much of the cool) has developed an experimental time machine (which remains a great visual) in which Dr. ![]() Producer Irwin Allen ruled much of the sci-fi airwaves throughout the 1960s with shows like Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea, Lost In Space, Land Of The Giants and this show, The Time Tunnel. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Her name is Freya Barker and her latest book From Dust just went live.

Although the anime isn't close to ending yet, manga fans should already know who the strongest Demon Slayer characters are. In addition to multiple movies, this franchise has grown to include spin-offs, video games, stage plays, and even light novels. Updated on by Ajay Aravind: Koyoharu Gotouge's Demon Slayer is undoubtedly one of the most successful shonen anime series of the last decade. As of February 2021, the manga had over 150 million copies in circulation (including digital copies), making it the ninth best-selling. As such, sorting them by strength becomes a relatively easy task because characters only experience growth when it's relevant to the overarching storyline. Koyoharu Gotouge ( Japanese:, Hepburn: Gotge Koyoharu, born May 5, 1989) is a Japanese manga artist, known for the manga series Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba (20162020).
