(Welcome to Ani-time Ani-where, a regular column dedicated to helping the uninitiated understand and appreciate the world of anime.)
A big problem with recommending anime is that, from the outside in, they can all seem rather similar. The biggest animes ever tend to all be battle shonen shows from a single manga magazine — just look at Michael B. Jordan's list of favorite anime — much like how superhero movies dominate Hollywood. Of course, there is more to the medium than that, as this column often shows, from the thought-provoking and bleak sci-fi mystery "Pluto," to the Coen brothers-like oddities of "OddTaxi." Still, when it comes to mainstream action shows, they all tend to follow teens, like Deku, Goku, Yuji, Tanjiro, and Eren.
But not "Kaiju no. 8." This new blockbuster shonen action anime is set in a world plagued by giant monsters and follows an elite group of warriors that fight against them,...

Sling Freestream leads the way with nearly 600 channels, but is quantity the most important thing for Fast platforms?
When streaming services first began to offer free ad-supported streaming TV (Fast) channels, many viewers didn’t see the point. Traditional TV listings were already packed with channels that never attracted much in the way of viewers, so why clutter up the digital spaces with little-watched channels as well? But streaming providers have stacked free ad-supported services with a wide range of desirable content, and now these platforms draw tens of millions of viewers per month to watch live and on-demand content. As demand has grown for this type of free streaming option, so has the supply; a new report from the FASTMaster shows that there are nearly 2,000 individual Fast channels available in the United States alone, and The Streamable’s experts will steer you to the right platform for your viewing preferences.

New data shows that Pluto TV might want to emulate Tubi’s example by putting its most popular content at the forefront of its interface.
Audiences are quite spoiled for choice when it comes to free streaming options nowadays. There are now multiple services available that carry thousands of on-demand streaming titles and hundreds of free ad-supported TV (Fast) channels, and most don’t even require viewers to create an account in order to start watching. Pluto TV and Tubi are some of the biggest free streaming services on the market, but one has captured decidedly more market share than the other, and The Streamable’s experts will dig down to explore why that might be and show viewers what sets the streamers apart from each other.

A certain actor has been taking over Hollywood as of late, and his name is Glen Powell.
The actor, hailing from Austin, Texas, has a long list of credits to his name, with various appearances on television series over the years. But, he reached movie star status after starring in two of the biggest films of the last two years.
Both Top Gun: Maverick and Anyone but You were bonafide commercial hits, but they are far from the only series and movies of Mr. Powell's you'll want to add to your must-watch list.
Powell's acting career started with a small role in Spy Kids 3-D Game, and a few years later, he went on to star in The Great Debaters alongside Hollywood heavy hitters Forest Whitaker and Denzel Washington, who also directed it.
More roles would follow that, including guest stints on CSI: Miami, Rizzoli & Isles, and NCIS.

Paramount Global is planning a suite of streaming channel for South Park fans to launch on the ad-based service Pluto TV in international markets.
The series, from creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker, has aired 26 seasons on Comedy Central and spawned a 1999 theatrical feature, South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut. Now Pluto TV is doubling down on the South Park brand by creating a dedicated main channel across all international markets where the AVOD streaming platform is active.
Studio execs note the expansion of the South Park Universe on Pluto TV outside of the U.S. does not represent new content, as it will instead make the existing animated series more widely available on the ad-based streaming platform.
The studio also plans a series of monthly South Park-themed channels across Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Canada, Italy, Spain, Brazil, Latin America and Australia. As the South Park series expands on Pluto TV,...

It's been more than two decades since Naoki Urasawa started publishing a manga based on a story arc from Osamu Tezuka's Astro Boy. Urasawa changed many details in his reinterpretation, but his new version of the story has been capturing the public imagination since its first issue in 2003.
Now the reinterpretation has been interpreted again – as an animated series. And it turns out, it's really, really good.
So What's The Story?
Pluto takes place in the aftermath of a massive war involving both humans and robots. Now the world is at peace, and thanks to new laws (and programming) it's been eight years since a robot has killed a human. Robots are also now granted equal rights.
When a powerful, famous, and beloved war hero robot is found destroyed, Europol robot detective Gesicht is sent to investigate. As the bodies start piling up, Gesicht realizes that he may be...

Tom Ryan co-founded the free, ad-supported streaming service Pluto TV, which launched 10 years ago with a linear TV-like grid and a cluster of “live” channels stocked with online videos. Viacom, one of Paramount Global’s two predecessor companies, acquired Pluto TV for $340 million in cash in January 2019. Ryan stayed on board as chief exec of Pluto, and in October 2020 he assumed leadership for the parent company’s entire streaming operations, including CBS All Access, which relaunched as Paramount+ in early 2021.
Ryan, CEO of Paramount Streaming, says Pluto’s first decade — during which it soared to 80 million monthly active users as of last year — is just the beginning.
“I think we’re still scratching the surface,” he said in an interview with Variety. Pluto TV has major potential to expand internationally with its integrated distribution model, he said: “It’s really a universally appealing product around the world.”

What does the future hold for Paramount Global? The odds of a seismic M&a event seem to be increasing: Private-equity firm Apollo Global has reportedly offered $11 billion for Paramount’s Hollywood studios. Short of carving up the “mountain of entertainment,” as the Paramount+ tagline boasts, analysts say the overture could drive up bidding for the entirety of Paramount Global — which is what Shari Redstone, who owns a controlling stake in the media conglomerate, is understood to prefer.
Given that backdrop, let’s consider what Paramount Global comprises — and the potential effect of selling it off in its entirety or in pieces. As it stands, Paramount Global, led by CEO Bob Bakish, is made up of three segments: filmed entertainment, TV media and direct-to-consumer streaming.
The company’s filmed entertainment unit, which includes Paramount Pictures, is its smallest, representing 10% of overall revenue in 2023. Last year, the segment generated revenue of...

Well, it's official — Netflix's live-action remake of "Avatar: The Last Airbender" paid off (for the company at least). Avatar Aang (Gordon Cormier) will get to continue mastering the elements, now that "Avatar" has been renewed for seasons 2 and 3.
"Avatar" is just the latest anime that Netflix has brought to live-action. On this spectrum, "Avatar" falls below the well-received "One Piece" remake but ahead of the swiftly-canned live-action "Cowboy Bebop" (that even original series creator Shinichirō Watanabe couldn't finish).
Netflix hasn't stopped there. The streamer is letting "Stranger Things" creators the Duffer Brothers take a crack at "Death Note" and has had a live-action "Gundam" movie in development since 2021. Other studios are getting into anime properties as well: Lionsgate has recruited "Shang-Chi" director Destin Daniel Cretton to adapt "Naruto" into a live-action movie.

While protecting a rebel group from the Covenant on planet Madrigal, Master Chief saves Kwan and also touches an object that seems to unlock his buried memories, and also makes him want to protect Kwan, even if it means going against him the orders given to him by the Unsc.

TV news executives are trying to solve a new mystery: Can some of their true-crime warhorses find new life on TikTok?
At CBS News, executives believe the answer is “yes.” CBS News’ TikTok account for “48 Hours” in December surpassed 1 million followers, after launching in May of 2021. NBC’s “Dateline” has more than 600,000, while ABC’s “20/20” doesn’t’ operate an account at present. The view from CBS News is that clips on TikTok push a younger cohort to seek out the show, which is available not only on Saturday nights but also on cable and via streaming services such as Pluto and Paramount+.
“I think TikTok is this creative marketing tool that helps us with our brand expansion,” says Judy Tygard, the series’ executive producer. Younger viewers “aren’t watching us on the big TV networks. They can see us on YouTube, on Paramount+, on Pluto, whatever space they are in.

It took two major Hollywood labor strikes and a broader economic downturn to finally un-peak Peak TV.
Over the course of 2023, just 481 U.S. scripted series were released, new research from Ampere Analytics states. For both 2021 and 2022, the London-based media analytics firm calculated 633 U.S. series were released. We will spare you the math: it’s a decline of 24 percent.
(John Landgraf, the FX chief who first coined the phrase “Peak TV” and has updated/awed TV critics each year with a new tally, had a slightly smaller total for ’21 and ’22; we do not yet have his 2023 total. IndieWire reached out to FX for comment on Ampere’s numbers, but we did not immediately receive a response. Either way, Landgraf saw this reversal coming, strikes or no strikes.)
Even the Covid-impacted 2020 saw 510 U.S. series released, Ampere found.

Back to the Future is considered to be one of the greatest time travel films ever made. Having become a hit in the mid-’80s, the sci–fi classic has been discovered by fresh eyes in the four decades since its release with each new wave of fans fascinated by its behind the scenes trivia.
Do you remember the first time you heard that Michael J. Fox wasn’t originally cast as Marty McFly? Do you recall how weird it was seeing footage of Mask star Eric Stolz as Marty, or finding out that the film would have been called Space Man from Pluto if producer Steven Spielberg hadn’t stepped in to stop studio exec Sid Sheinberg from changing the title?

(Welcome to Ani-time Ani-where, a regular column dedicated to helping the uninitiated understand and appreciate the world of anime.)
Listen, I love anime and the endless possibilities of the medium. Unfortunately, much like how Hollywood is mostly inundated by uncomplicated four-quadrant blockbusters that get tiring after a while, anime, too, is inundated with uncomplicated action-centric titles that cater to a mass audience. There's a reason the vast majority of anime shows are about teenagers, which is fine but it means that anytime a show comes out that deals with adult characters and mature themes it is worth paying attention to.
So imagine how thrilled I was to find out that there was an anime adaptation of a manga by the guy who gave us the anime equivalent of an HBO prestige drama — and it is based on a story by the man who created anime as we know it.
That anime is "Pluto.

The peak TV era may be over, but free, ad-supported streaming television is continuing to boom.
With more than 1,500 Fast channels now operating in the U.S., though, is there a risk of that vast array of offerings overwhelming consumers and bogging down the programmers and distributors trying to manage them all?
The consensus among five executives speaking on a panel Tuesday at NATPE: The risk is indeed real, but as with all industry booms, the glut of channels is forcing all stakeholders to raise their games. The result could be improved financial results and a better experience for viewers.
“There were channels when we started that were really just slapped together,” said Laura Florence, SVP Global Fast Channels for Fremantle. The test for any channel should be, she added, “Will viewers stay through a 2-minute ad break for it?” As the multi-billion-dollar Fast segment continues to evolve, programmers, advertisers...

Pluto TV is bolstering its channel lineup this month, and one of the two networks coming to the platform will feature a huge title.

Over the years, The Exorcist has won plenty of accolades. It was the first horror movie ever to receive a Best Picture nomination at the Academy Awards. It ranks No. 3 on the American Film Institute’s list of the 100 most thrilling American films. And it regularly appears on lists of the Top 10 horror movies of all time. The creepy classic was originally released 50 years ago and wouldn’t leave theaters, with its initial run extending to 105 weeks — two years! — on its way to making $193 million at the U.S. box office, an impressive figure 50 years ago. We’ve spoken to the film’s star, Linda Blair over the years, and while the resulting film might have been spectacular, Blair admitted to us she had a really difficult time making the movie, especially when it came to the film’s practical makeup and prosthetic effects.

"Avatar: The Last Airbender" is one of the most acclaimed and beloved cartoons of all time. This is a show with incredible worldbuilding, visual style, and character development.
Despite the success of the animated series (and its equally great sequel series), "The Last Airbender" has had terrible luck with adaptations. First, there was the best-forgotten M. Night Shyamalan live-action movie which missed everything people liked about the show. Now, it is Netflix's turn to try with a TV adaptation titled, well, "Avatar: The Last Airbender."
Not only did this latest adaptation have to deal with the awfully poor expectations from fans, but it also suffered a devastating blow early on when original creators Bryan Konietzko and Michael Dante Dimartino departed due to creative differences. Granted, following that piece of bad news we also got the creation of Avatar Studios and multiple other Avatar projects in development, but the move...

TV usage in November hit its highest point in 10 months, due in large part to heavy levels of viewing over the Thanksgiving holiday.
Broadcast networks also hit their highest share of viewing since January. Streaming once again claimed the biggest portion of viewers’ time, although its share was off a little from the previous month, and cable shrank some more to its lowest point in the two-year history of Nielsen’s monthly Gauge rankings.
TV use across all platforms grew by 5.7 percent compared to October, according to the ratings service. Broadcast networks outpaced that, improving by 7 percent in viewing time month to month. They accounted for 24.9 percent of all viewing for the month, up from 24.6 percent in October. Most of that bump came during Thanksgiving week: While three weeks prior to the holiday saw a modest gains of about 3 percent over the same period in October, the week of Nov.

Norman Lear was a man of modest physical stature, standing a trim 5’7″ on a good day. In terms of his impact on television — comedy primarily, but the medium as a whole — he was a giant, who belongs on any Mt. Rushmore of showrunners. He dominated an entire decade of TV like no one before or since, with hit after hit that expanded the boundaries of what could be done with the old-fashioned multi-camera sitcom format (shot on a stage in front of a studio audience), and what kinds of stories and characters audiences would accept.

Chuck Barris, who hosted such gleefully trashy TV hits as The Gong Show and The $1.98 Beauty Show back in the 1970s, was an interesting man, to say the least. He once worked on American Bandstand. He wrote a song that made the Top 5 during the peak of Beatlemania. He created The Dating Game and The Newlywed Game in the ’60s. And the rumor, of course, was that Barris had been a CIA assassin at various times in different parts of the world. That claim was part of his autobiography, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, which George Clooney turned into a movie in 2002. Though Barris was still alive at the time (he died in 2017 at the age of 87), Clooney told us he never asked Barris whether the CIA claims were true.

Forty years ago, Terms of Endearment started its run in theaters. Along with its success at the box office, the film got more Oscar nominations (11) than any other movie that year, and it won in five of those categories, including Best Picture, Best Director (for James L. Brooks), and two acting awards, one for Jack Nicholson and one for Shirley MacLaine. We’ve spoken to MacLaine many times over the years, and part of her success in the Terms of Endearment role of Aurora Greenway, she said, is that there are so many similarities between her real-life self and the character.

For the second straight month, broadcast networks increased their share of TV use — and for the second straight month, sports was the primary driver of those gains.
Nielsen’s monthly Gauge rankings for October show broadcast networks capturing 24.6 percent of TV use in the United States, up from 23 percent in September and the best mark for over-the-air networks since January. Broadcast viewing rose by 9 percent month to month, driven by sports as the NFL and college football seasons continued and Fox had some of baseball’s postseason, including the World Series, on its air.
Sports accounted for 30 percent of all broadcast viewing for the month, up from 25 percent in 2022. Scripted dramas, which normally account for the largest share of broadcast viewing in the fall, fell off from 27 percent of all broadcast viewng in October 2022 to 18 percent this year, due to only a handful of scripted shows running on networks during the industry’s labor strikes.

Spoilers for "Attack on Titan" follow.
Despite all the twists along the way, the final arc of "Attack On Titan" returned to the initial premise (and threat) of the series: humanity face-to-face with extinction in the form of humanoid giants. These giants march across the Earth as "The Rumbling," flattening everything in their path underfoot. As our heroes fight to stop this onslaught in the series finale, the episode cuts to a crowd of people running from the advancing Titans.

Then, the episode's animation team (led by directors Yuichiro Hayashi and Tokio Igarashi) makes a striking color choice. The scene goes black-and-white, except for a mother and her baby who retain their color. The mother eventually falls over the cliff but lifts her baby off to...
