Oh hey! Lucky #13!

That guy in the thumbnail looks like a Mob Psycho 100 character.

None of the shows but Jojo got an episode thread after i went to sleep last night.

Fire Force 14

So like is this the week where all our doubts about anime news is proven false?

.... oh that's right. It starts tomorrow. My god the time flew by!

But it is.

.... why only one week?

MHA is no Dragonball Super, or even Kai, but we'll see how ratings fare.

Official. DeMarco chose THAT particular Season 3 ep to start the reruns FOR A REASON, which means he knew this all along, for weeks. Glad to see it at the front of the block now. AND that it's gonna be a broadcast that's only a few weeks after Funimation's simulcast uploads! Any bets on when DeMarco moves it to 3:30 AM again?

Toonami seems to have an allergy to isekai shows as well as fanservice. All four of the animes crossing over in Isekai Quartet have never aired on Toonami despite all of them having dubs (five, now that Rise of the Shield Hero is confirmed to be the fifth anime for Isekai Quartet Season 2). I mean there's SAO, but SAO is the most popular isekai anime right now and I guess they couldn't ignore the sales.

That only holds water if the rest of the characters are designed differently than how the Major is, and the Major is so far the only character that's been revealed in this show!

Beastars 3

HBO MAX, HBO MAX, HBO MAX. So may things under Turner are going there instead of the cable channels now.

Have yet to see Ep 3. Will probably wind up seeing it Friday or Saturday depending on when the unofficial subs come out.

Why the fuck does Netflix intend to make all their original anime look THE LEAST like all the other mainstream anime as possible!? Most of their biggest hitters are poorly animated in CGI! There's a stop-motion one too! The only Netflix anime that are still done the traditional ways are the ones that they got wholesale from an outside source (Little Witch Academia, Devilman Crybaby, AICO, etc). For all their talk about supporting anime and "helping" the industry for the sake of the fans, they sure don't wanna stick with all the negative stigmas that come with it! Hypocrites. Also, I'm wondering if this GitS series would benefit from the CGI being rendered and animated more like a cel-shaded style instead, like Land of the Lustrous. At least it wouldn't look so wooden.

Judging by the content of the comic, it seems the series will be a mix of puppetry and human actors.

It does indeed sound like something Toonami would co-fund.

Cautious Hero 2

"Straight"? Was it ever planned for somewhere else?

The animation itself actually has a lot of nuance to it. Check the ease out of the car when it halts, and her hair waving. Definitely a step up from RWBY. But I think what people have a problem with is the model. She doesn't have the body/face/eye proportions of a serious, realistic crime drama. They're the proportions of a damn Disney princess. Was GitS ever for kids?? I half-expect a lizard to pop out and sing a musical number.

No.
