Blatch

Blue Exorcist 1 13 years since the beginning of Toonami Swim felt like a good excuse to finally crack open that DVR stash. Happy anniversary ba-by~.

The people voting on Best Animated Feature at the Oscars were like that for years: not even bothering. A whole damn decade ago, The Wind Rises got snubbed for the award in favor of moar Disney, and there was a big furor over it. I even remember someone saying that they threw the screener DVDs in the trash, though I think that was for Best Animated Short. Thank Icculus they're apparently now forcing people to watch 'em.

Uh... okay? And here I thought the big story was Solo Leveling winning a bunch of awards.

You know, I was wondering if Hadel and Cusack were going to riff on this, or if they thought such recognition was beneath them. Nice to see the latter got a kick out of it. Anyway, I feel like people are taking this too seriously, assuming they are. Who knows what the intent behind this was, but I don't think it was meant to be negative.

You and Idol Precure 2 It's been... over a month? Yeesh.

Here's the full unpaywalled article if anyone wants it. Nothing particularly revelatory, but I do like how it cuts a more optimistic jib for [as]. Maybe they'll manage to figure it out? I probably shouldn't say that, but I wasn't expecting WBD to come this far regarding profitability.

Bumpity bump! No fanime updates that I know of right now, but there is a new mainline Touhou game coming out! It's called Fossilized Wonders, and you can play the demo right now, as I did tonight. Personally, I like the blue-haired girl... no, the other one. [space pilot 3,001]

Pretty much. Regardless of the financial reasons, Bleach just belongs on Toonami, or at least [as]. I won't be watching, but I might be if I didn't have BE and Lazarus (and Fate/UBW?) to supremely catch up on. [yippee, 3000th post!]

Well, you could complain that Bleach is coming too late in the game for it to be able to draw a crowd, but I ain't. And how cool is it when Toonami does the exact thing we expect from them? Now I have an actual reason to watch my DVR recordings of Blue Exorcist S1. [though... i should do some other shows first]

This thread feels like an infinite post glitch. Wish I hadn't blown it off for this long.

This will eventually be privated. I'll put up a permanent link to it later on.
