Hiromu Arakawa's "Fullmetal Alchemist" is one of the best manga/anime ever drawn. It's one of my favorites, and stands out among the crowded "battle shōnen" demographic. Rather than the fantastic Japanese setting of contemporary series like "Naruto" and "Bleach," "Fullmetal Alchemist" is more inspired by the West (though not without its translation hiccups).
Set in a version of 20th century Europe where alchemy is fact, not fiction, "Fullmetal Alchemist" follows brothers Edward and Alphonse "Ed and Al" Elric. The two young alchemists tried to bring their mother back to life, breaking the "ultimate taboo" of human transmutation. The experiment backfired, robbing Ed of his right arm and left leg and Al of his whole body. In their disabled states, they embark on a quest to find the Philosopher's Stone. The Stone can bypass the fundamental law of alchemy and, the brothers believe, restore their bodies.

Netflix mostly seems to be getting a bunch of buzz for their stellar live-action TV programming, and their burgeoning original film slate. However, one aspect of their original shows that is often overlooked is their anime. From shows like Ajin: Demi-Human to Little Witch Academia, they have a growing slate of originals that’s sure to make the folks over at Crunchyroll at least a little bit jealous.
Apparently, the streaming service has been stockpiling trailers, because they just dropped four trailers for upcoming anime series Fate/Apocrypha, Kakegurui, A.I.C.O. -Incarnation-, and Devilman crybaby.

This is another step in Netflix's plan to bring more anime content to their service.
"We expect to grow anime viewing, here in Japan and the rest of the world as we continue to invest in high-quality content," Greg Peters, Netflix's chief product officer told CNET.

With Joss Whedon’s recent announcement that super-powered twins Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch — established in the X-Men comics as Magneto’s children — are set to join The Avengers 2, we started thinking about which other cinematic siblings have stood the test of time.
There are obviously a number of famous families littering cinema history, whether it’s the Von Trapps, the Tenenbaums or the Incredibles, but this article is more interested in the few brothers and sisters, twins and triplets that have stood out from their more often than not bickering broods.
Winifred, Sarah and Mary Sanderson – Hocus Pocus
Should you find yourself home alone on this or any other Halloween night, chances are a perusal of the television schedules will reveal at least one channel showing Disney’s 1993 family fantasy/horror/comedy Hocus Pocus.
The film pits teenager Max against the Sanderson sisters — played by Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker...
