Tyson Yoshi The Villain Live in Hong Kong
Photograph: Courtesy The Bridge Agency Indie Hong Kong hip hop artist Tyson Yoshi has announced his first concert at the Kai Tak Arena, promising to show fans a new side of himself: the self-proclaimed villain. Instead of a straight-up 'bad guy', Yoshi's villain signifies his position as a black sheep in the music industry, from not doing pop to insisting on remaining independent instead of signing onto a major label. Referencing his favourite anime shows, he says, 'Other artists might be the heroes in Naruto or One Piece , but I'm more like Death Note .' Yoshi's concerts will run from July 4 to 6, and tickets range from $680 to $1,180.

10 funniest anime series that aren't supposed to be funny
10 funniest anime series that aren't supposed to be funny Some anime try really hard to be funny — and they usually are. But sometimes, the ones that make you laugh the most weren't even meant to. You start watching for the drama, the action, the fantasy — and then out of nowhere, you're cracking up at something completely unexpected. Maybe it's a character with zero chill, a plot twist that borders on the ridiculous, or just how seriously absurd the whole world is. Whether they're meant to be dark, emotional, or intense, these shows accidentally end up being comedy gold. Here are ten anime that aren't classified as comedies but are way funnier than they have any right to be. Funniest anime series that were meant to be deep, not dumb Beastars On paper, Beastars is a deep, moody show about identity, social hierarchies, and carnivore guilt. In practice? Sometimes it plays out like a furry soap opera with way too much dramatic flair. There's a mafia subplot with deer, a wolf having an emotional breakdown over a bunny crush, and high school drama taken to Shakespearean levels. One minute it's existential, the next it's unintentionally hilarious. It's kind of like Zootopia meets Twin Peaks — and you never know whether to reflect or just laugh. Attack on Titan Is Attack on Titan supposed to be funny? Absolutely not. But between Eren's overly dramatic speeches, Levi's obsessive cleaning habits, and the sheer absurdity of people parkouring off rooftops with grappling gear to fight giant naked people, it gets... weirdly funny. And let's not forget the over-the-top intensity of every. single. conversation. You could make a drinking game out of how often someone screams the word 'freedom. ' Parasyte: The Maxim Parasyte is a psychological thriller about aliens invading humans, but let's be real: Migi, the sarcastic talking hand, steals the whole show. His deadpan comebacks and weirdly logical takes on human behavior are unintentionally hilarious. Plus, watching protagonist Shinichi try to act normal while arguing with his right hand in public is pure gold. Imagine trying to walk down the street while your hand starts mocking people — it's bizarre, it's tense, but also? Kinda funny. Death Note There's murder, manipulation, and a notebook that kills people. Very serious stuff. But then you've got Light Yagami dramatically eating potato chips like he's performing Shakespeare, and L crouching in chairs like a cryptid. It's all so overacted, it crosses the line into parody — and that's what makes it glorious. No matter how dark it gets, Death Note always has that unintentional edge of 'Wait, what did I just watch?' The Promised Neverland Season 1? Straight-up psychological thriller. Season 2? Unintentional comedy. The pacing goes off the rails, the plot holes multiply, and suddenly this masterfully built world starts acting like a badly written group project. Characters make bizarre decisions, serious conversations get undercut by awkward direction, and it just... spirals. You'll be laughing more out of confusion than amusement, but hey — laughter's laughter. Tokyo Ghoul Tokyo Ghoul really wants you to feel things — pain, angst, existential dread. But somewhere between Kaneki screaming mid-torture and characters talking like they're reading slam poetry at a goth cafe, the melodrama becomes unintentionally hilarious. The constant identity crises, over-the-top internal monologues, and intense symbolism? It's almost like the show is trolling itself. And honestly, we're kind of here for it. Future Diary (Mirai Nikki) This show is pure chaos. It's supposed to be a survival game thriller, but with Yuno Gasai's unhinged yandere obsession and the main character constantly panicking like he's in a Scooby-Doo episode, it's impossible not to laugh. There's so much screaming, betrayal, and ridiculous logic jumps that it ends up feeling like an action-packed telenovela — with knives. Peak unintentional comedy. Elfen Lied If you've ever watched Elfen Lied, you know it's trying to be dark and philosophical — but it accidentally becomes absurd. There's a weird mix of ultraviolence, nudity, and moments that feel like they were written during a fever dream. The tonal whiplash is real: one second there's a massacre, the next it's awkward beach fan service. And Lucy's 'Nyuu~' persona? That alone deserves a comedy tag. Code Geass Lelouch is a genius strategist, sure, but he's also a theatrical drama queen. His speeches, poses, and constant outsmarting of everyone around him often feel like overacted stage play material. And let's not forget the pizza obsession — yes, that running gag with the giant Pizza Hut logo in a dystopian rebellion anime. The show is brilliant, but it also makes you laugh at the most unexpected times. Sometimes unintentionally. Sometimes not. Neon Genesis Evangelion You're not supposed to laugh at Evangelion, but come on — Shinji's mental breakdowns, Gendo's 'father of the year' energy, and Asuka's rage-fueled tirades can get unintentionally ridiculous. And the ending? It's either deeply symbolic or just so cryptic it becomes meme-worthy. 'Congratulations!' might be one of the weirdest feel-good moments in anime history. It's a psychological masterpiece, sure. But also, low-key hilarious. Also read | 9 classic 90s anime that deserve an action-packed remake

Nat Wolff's star-studded exes as actor was seen kissing Billie Eilish
Last weekend, Billie Eilish and Nat Wolff seemed to confirm their romance as they were seen kissing on a balcony in Venice, Italy. The singer, 23, and actor, 30, previously denied romance rumors, but Deux Moi shared images of the pair smooching and taking selfies. Billie is not the first famous star Nat has been linked to. Reports suggest his earliest romance was with fellow Nickelodeon star Miranda Cosgrove at the height of both their careers as child actors on the channel. But young love rarely lasts, and after a short time together the pair broke up. While it isn't known how long they dated, Miranda alluded to a difficult split in a 2011 interview with Seventeen magazine. She said at the time: 'I've only had one serious boyfriend, but we dated for three years. We broke up not that long ago. 'He's the one guy I really, really liked. People say they have that one person they never forget - I feel like that. Even though we don't talk much anymore, he'll be the one who got away.' In 2014, Nat and Margaret Qualley made their relationship public for the first time at the premiere of The Fault In Our Stars, in which he played Isaac. Margaret, who is now married to Jack Antonoff, said in a 2016 interview that she would visit Nat on set while he was filming Gia Coppola's Palo Alto, alongside Emma Roberts. But she confirmed they had split the following year when she referred to Nat as her 'ex-boyfriend' in a British Vogue interview, despite them starring together in Death Note. While fans weren't privy to the reason behind Nat and Margaret's split, the actor sparked speculation that he was dating singer Suki Waterhouse around 2015. The pair had been seen hanging out together in London, with Nat leaving Suki's home in the capital in the early hours of the morning after attending a The Strokes gig in Hyde Park the previous evening. However, their romance was short-lived, according to reports, lasting only a few weeks. Suki is now with Robert Pattinson and shares a daughter with him. There was also speculation that Nat was dating actress Bella Thorne in 2017, as reported by the Daily Mail after they were seen on a dinner date in Los Angeles - but this too did not last. Nat's longest and most public relationship was with Tell Me Lies star Grace Van Patten, who he dated from 2017 to 2021. The couple were open about their romance, attending red carpet events together and starring opposite one another in comedy-drama Good Posture in 2019. Their breakup was never announced publicly, but Grace appeared to confirm she was in a relationship with her Tell Me Lies co-star Jackson White in 2022, over a year after the last time she and Nat were seen as a couple at a public event. The new romance between Nat and Billie is believed to have blossomed a year after the singer released the video for her single Chihiro, which featured Nat as her love interest. Neither Nat nor Billie have confirmed they are in a relationship. Daily Mail has reached out to reps for both parties for comment.
