Blatch

Oh hell yeah. I've been posting some good clips (and occasionally whole streams) of various VTubers in the YT thread.

The thing about NFTs is that, while the general public has largely moved on (assuming they ever really took to them in the first place), there's always going to be a niche market of hyper-whales who are willing to stake money on a proof of stake that may or may not pay off. It's like how some anime mobile games stay afloat, the difference being that rolling for SSRs is cut and dry, while NFTs are often a means to an end that the token collectors probably don't care about. So how many people who buy the Anime.com tokens do you think will actually watch the show it's promoting? If something like this didn't work out for Neopets, it probably ain't gonna for you, blud.

Common Side Effects 1 The female lead is basically an aged-up Nao Kamiya. I'm sold! And how about that reference to the New Hampshire Lottery?

Oh yay, I can't wait to watch a bunch of shows with TOM making surface-level and probably unnecessary comments, plus an occasional goodie! Except I forked over $21 to the House of Zaslav for the privilege of catching up on CSE, so that won't be necessary, and next time I'll just DVR the premieres. Toonami's branding has fallen so far that sometimes I wonder if we'd be better off without it, and if the future is going to contain a lot of encores from [as] proper that may or may not fit, then that would make the problem even more apparent.

Seriously? They do this right after I shell out for a Max subscription to watch Common Side Effects on my own? Damnit. But at least I can watch right away and get caught up with the actual premiere run.

So clearly, the solution is to kill Toonami before Lazarus premieres.

I think part of it was to get away from the negativity ahead of Trump 2.0 (which... one of my hottest takes is that this is probably what we all should be doing), but yeah.

Okay, just watched the premiere. I had a good time, but given the content of the first episode, I don't know if people are going to stick with this one. The character mentioned in the show blurb seemingly doesn't appear in it, unless he was the

Fate/stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works 0 [this ain't no kurosanji radio]

Meanwhile, I can only stream Common Side Effects on Max, as opposed to watching it on-demand through Xfinity. To me, streaming services still feel like a racket, but I guess I'm gonna have to start putting up with them.

The fact that this block is going to be promoting a Web3 (re: metaverse, NFTs, etc.) business makes me feel icky, but hey: it's anime on cable TV, so I'm gonna try to watch this. And the last time I made a point of watching AXS was when they were airing a Yes concert, which was a long time ago.

[the sun comes up and i'm all washed out / is this what—]

Oh dear. Jesus. Not to sound alarmist, but not going into Mashle S2 feels like "we're sunsetting the block" territory. Here's hoping this is just a budgetary issue, because who knows what they have left at this point.

Finished Regular Show S2 today. Now I either rely on CN reruns, or get the complete series box set, which sadly is only available on DVD. [or maybe i go for a max subscription? is this one even on there?]

F. So if DeMarco ever has the urge to make more FLCL, what's he gonna do now?

The first episode aired as a post-Super Bowl preview, like how Family Guy premiered. Cool thread. And in a cool coincidence, Minto referenced an episode of this last night.

ReStage! Dream Days 7 Uzumaki 3/4 Well, I did it: I finally got the Spiral Curse off of my DVR. Some pointers: They really should've made this a normal 12-episode anime. Not sure if it would've helped with production, but it at least would've fixed the pacing, which is breakneck and has parts where it sounds like the actors are rushing through their lines. Episode 1 may be the most competent from a production standpoint, but my favorite is Episode 3, as it had some scenes that legit creeped me out. The production values aren't as bad as the second episode, too. Divorced from the source material, I'd give this series a 3/5 for being very flawed but very interesting. But as an adaptation, it's probably a failure. At least this time an attempt to make Ito work in animation wasn't foiled by the oafishness of the studio.

In here.
