The newest "Run, Hany" movie, titled "Bad Girl", is an original film created in celebration of the 40th anniversary of the "Run, Hany" series. This anime movie features a brand-new voice cast for the series' most iconic characters. Jeong Hye-won, known for her roles in "Rainbow Bubblegem" and "Shooting Star Catch! Teenieping", voices the titular character, Hany. The cast also includes Kang Shi-hyun from "Bread Barbershop" and "Shapes" as Na Aeri, along with Hong Beom Ki (also from "Bread Barbershop"), Lee Sae-byeok ("Yellow Muzi and Friends"), Lee Sang-ho, Kim Hyun-wook ("Cookie Run Kingdom"), and Kwak Gyu-mi.

"Run, Hany" is back like never before, offering a modernized and mature take on the classic Korean anime that '80s kids grew up watching. Fans will appreciate how it stays true to the original series while still evolving the story. The rivalry between Hany and Na Aeri continues to intensify, especially as they now compete for a spot on the youth national team. Times have changed, but a good story like this never changes.

A nostalgia reborn for the big screen, this is what '80s kids who grew up watching this anime have been waiting for since the series finale a long time ago. With the rivalry between Hany and Na Aeri back on, this is one way to celebrate 40 years of the "Run, Hany" series.

Extreme E - Desert X Prix: THE FINAL LAP

First introduced in 2021, Extreme E showcased its zero-emission off-road racing to the world. After four successful years, the series bids farewell at the venue of its inaugural race: Saudi Arabia. This marks the end of the only zero-emission off-road racing series.

Extreme E - Desert X Prix: The Final Lap is the last-ever race weekend for Extreme E, taking place at the venue where it all began. This grand finale features eight teams, including Jameel Motorsport, Team Hansen, Carl Cox Racing, JBX, STARD, Acciona Sainz, Team Even, and KMS.

The first race of The FINAL LAP saw Team KMS defeat Team EVEN and Team Hansen. Meanwhile, in what's known as the last-ever Extreme E race, Team Hansen, consisting of Andreas Bakkerud and Catie Munnings, will be forever etched in history as their victory against Jameel Motorsport and Team KMS marked the end of Extreme E.

That's the end of Extreme E. Although the world's only zero-emission off-road racing series was cut short after four years, this series never failed to demonstrate such capabilities. From RXR nabbing their first-ever Extreme E title to Team Hansen winning THE FINAL LAP, that's what Extreme E is all about: getting dirty without harming the environment.

As Extreme E ends, the birth of the world's first FCEV off-road racing series draws near with the first-ever Extreme H World Cup happening in Qiddiya, Saudi Arabia, this October 9 to 11, 2025.

THANK YOU, EXTREME E!
