Saturday Night Live tackled the thorny issue of college protests this week — and thankfully, Kenan Thompson was there to find some laughs in it.
In Saturday’s cold open, Thompson played Alphonse, the father of a student at Columbia University who was a guest on a local talk show and initially came out as supportive of the pro-Palestinian protests. But when the host asked about his own daughter being in the protests, Alphonse just laughed: “Alexis Vanessa Roberts better have her butt in class.” He’s fine with other people’s kids protesting, but not his kid: “She ain’t talking about ‘Free this,...

Since the trend of the anime and manga industry has peaked, many new anime and manga series have been released that have tried to be popular among the community. Most of these belong to the fantasy genre, and while some series like Demon Slayer or Jujutsu Kaisen have managed to do it, they still lack in some way.
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood (2009)
However, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, the masterpiece of Hiromu Arakawa, has managed to retain its title as the best fantasy anime series for such a long time. Its characters, storyline, and animation may contribute to it, but the main reason why it is considered the best is because of its power system.
As the name suggests, the power system of Fullmetal Alchemist is based on alchemy and its laws, which, once understood, make the series even more interesting for fans. Also, unlike other anime or manga series, the laws of...

Charlotte Gainsbourg is joining Amy Sherman-Palladino and Daniel Palladino’s Prime Video series Étoile to replace Camille Cottin, who has dropped out over scheduling conflicts.
Actress, singer and songwriter Gainbourg will join the likes of Luke Kirby (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel), Gideon Glick, Simon Callow (Outlander), Lou de Laâge (The Innocents), and David Alvarez (West Side Story) in the drama series.
Set in New York City and Paris, the eight-episode Étoile follows the dancers and artistic staff of two world-renowned ballet companies, as they embark on an ambitious gambit to save their storied institutions by swapping their most talented stars.
In April, the show was given a two-season order, at which point Call My Agent!, Golda and House of Gucci star Cottin was named among its leads.

Even if you're only passingly familiar with manga and anime, I'd bet that you've heard of "Fullmetal Alchemist," a modern classic of both mediums. First authored by Hiromu Arakawa and adapted to animation twice, all versions follow the titular alchemist, Edward Elric, and his little brother Alphonse. Mutilated when they tried to revive their dead mother, they're now on a quest to get their bodies back by finding the Philosopher's Stone. Along the way, they face obstacles ranging from a military dictatorship to ouroboros-tattooed homunculi.
"Fullmetal Alchemist" is not my all-time favorite manga or anime, but it is my favorite Shōnen series. What is that? A Japanese term referring to boys' media. Think "Dragon Ball," "Naruto," or "One Piece." They all fit under this umbrella.
Many of these series are published by the same magazine, Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump, but not "Fullmetal Alchemist." If you've ever wondered why the...

Anime shonen is the bread and butter of anime and manga, with the most popular and recognizable titles all belonging to this demographic — and most of them to the battle shonen genre. Despite Michael B. Jordan's list of recommendations for the first anime you should watch all being shonen anime, they can be a bit too formulaic, and a problem for the industry at large. They all follow a boy hero who trains to become the best, makes friends along the way, and overcomes increasingly stronger enemies.
There's nothing wrong with this, of course, but it's the reason why many people (myself included) think the original 2003 "Fullmetal Alchemist" is a better show than its more manga-faithful remake, "Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood." The two are drastically different adaptations of the very popular manga of the same name, even if they come from the same studio and share most of the same staff,...
