Netflix’s live-action take on anime ‘Mob Psycho 100’ gets first poster

Anime seems to be an integral part of Netflix’s agenda. One of its latest ventures involve a partnership with TV Tokyo to create the live-action series based on the anime Mob Psycho 100. The supernatural-themed anime was based of the webcomic made by artist One, who is best known for creating One Punch Man (if you watch the anime or read the comics, you can see the similarities in style). Now, the live-action series gets its first poster. In it we see Tatsuomi Hamada as main protagonist Shigeo Kageyama standing with his classic bowl cut and black uniform on. On his left we see Tsubomi (played by Yoda Yuki) and on his right is Arataka Reigen, Kageyama’s supposed mentor. Mob Psycho 100 will be airing first in Japan in January 2018 before hitting Netflix.

OnePlus 3/3T and 5/5T won’t support Project Treble

We know that Android 8.1 Oreo is coming to both the OnePlus 5/5T devices as well as the OnePlus 3/3T. The latter is especially welcome news. There is no specific time table for the updates yet. But we find out more information about it. One of the newest pieces of information we got is that the company will not support Project Treble, a feature that aims to bring faster updates to Android devices. This does this by separating the operating system code from the vendor code, letting vendors push key OS updates to the phones without the need to re-optimize their own codes. OnePlus Staff Member Adam Krisko, who was doing an AMA on the OnePlus Forums, broke the news but he didn’t say why they didn’t intend to support Treble for these devices.
