According to a report by PEN America, public schools are seeing increasing demands to remove books from their libraries. Between July 2024 and June 2025, the organization documented 6,870 instances of book bans in 23 states and 87 school districts. Although this is a decrease from the 10,046 bans recorded in the previous year (2023-2024), it’s still more than double the number from 2022-2023 (3,362). Notably, this year’s list included a Japanese manga artist for the first time: Yusei Matsui’s *Assassination Classroom* was banned 54 times. The manga tells the story of students who are assigned the task of assassinating their new teacher—an alien with superpowers who threatens to destroy Earth if they don’t succeed before graduation.

Every story arc in the *Bleach* anime adds to the overall narrative, but two have become truly iconic among fans. The other three arcs are decent, though they feel more typical for shonen anime, with occasional standout moments. While Ichigo Kurosaki had his share of slower adventures, he really proved himself as one of the best shonen heroes of the 2000s during the series’ most exciting arcs.

With fans wondering how to watch Season 22 of *Grey’s Anatomy*, creator Shonda Rhimes has been reflecting on the show’s history. During an appearance on the *Call Her Daddy* podcast, Rhimes shared that she recently re-watched episodes, including the well-known Season 8 plane crash that featured the death of Chyler Leigh’s character, Lexie Grey. Rhimes explained:

Characters like Neville Longbottom and Luna Lovegood, alongside figures like Remus Lupin and Minerva McGonagall, have increasingly captured the hearts of fans. The days of *Harry Potter* being just a story about ‘the chosen one’ are fading. This isn’t due to a lack of interest, but because fans have matured and found deeper, more complex, and relatable stories within the wizarding world. As the fandom has changed, so has its understanding of Hogwarts, and with a new *Harry Potter* TV show in production, even more changes are coming.

So, everyone’s been asking about whether we’ll get more *Wizards of Waverly Place* beyond the original series, and I’ve dug up everything I could find about the chances of extra episodes. Basically, here’s the scoop on what’s happening with a potential continuation!

As a big fan, I was so excited to see Tron back in theaters after all these years! It’s a shame Tron: Ares isn’t doing amazingly well at the box office, but I really think it sets things up for another film down the line. What especially got me hyped was a fantastic callback to the original Tron movie. I’m really glad I finally watched the 1982 film before seeing Ares – it made the experience that much better!

In a recent appearance on the Bingeworthy podcast, director Andy Muschietti discussed the underwhelming box office results and negative feedback surrounding *The Flash*. Despite this, he expressed continued pride in the film and the work of his team.

I just got a first look at the plans for Universal Kids Resort, and let me tell you, it’s shaping up to be a fantastic destination! Set to open in Frisco, Texas next year, Universal has finally revealed all of its themed lands – and the concept art looks incredible. It’s a fitting name, really – this place is clearly designed with families in mind.
