The sale will be confirmed, and the buyer will not want the networks, allowing them to be spun off with the infamous Warner debt as cable television continues its last gasp. However, Toonami day-to-day operations continue as-is with licensing deals with their former Warner Bros Netflix masters (I'm predicting Netflix will win the bidding, with the WB board hoping Trump dies soon, making his threat to stall the merger superfluous), which allow their original materials to air unimpeded. DeMarco is SOL when asking for stuff like Ranma 1/2 and Baki, though. (Yeah, they leave him with the networks for obvious reasons.) Surprisingly, Warner Bros Netflix holds onto the "Adult Swim" name, and several other miscellaneous names, but the block keeps the name through the licensing agreements as mentioned. Crunchyroll continues to do zero business with the gutted Cartoon Network. This slightly annoys old-school Toonami fans as the Ronin Warriors remake/sequel airs on Crunchyroll and not Toonami. Get Jiro! airs in the summer, and as hinted by the promo art, it's a combination of the original comic and the Blood and Sushi prequel. The more realistic, less stylized take on the material divides critics. Adult Swim tries to get Demon Slayer Hashira Training Arc to air concurrently with either the Crunchyroll (February 2026 earliest) or Netflix (Summer 2026) airings of the first Infinity Castle movie. The inevitable Infinity Castle TV show edit remains a distant dream. Viz continues to do business with Adult Swim when everyone else is dealt with, resulting in Yaiba airing in Spring or Summer 2026, where everyone points out how good it looks visually. That also means OPM Season 3, which...doesn't. MAWS S3 either airs in Spring or Fall, deliberately avoiding stepping on Supergirl's toes. Super Mutant Magic Academy will air and flop, because it will be an "All Hands on Deck" situation at that point for Toonami. All the other past Toonami originals, like the Flop Girl and Ninja Kamui get official cancellations due to the Warner spigot being cut off.

Unfortunately, as Hollywood is want to do, you will be waiting. Warner received the bids. They either announce a winner and enter into exclusive negotiations this week, or they declare all the bids crap and ask for a fresh round of bids. https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/business/story/2025-12-01/warner-bros-discovery-auction-second-round-netflix-comcast-paramount-what-to-know The LA Times is reporting our pal Zaslav prefers Comcast.

Why is my bench press plateauing at 300lbs? I can get it up smoother than before but if I add one more pound that thing does not move. I don’t think I’m asking for that much…

If it helps any, this week is when we find out which, if any deal they take.

Amazon hires every celebrity on Bezos’s yacht for Invincible and made it a point to give newer material like GQux and P&S union dubs with union rates. This is an insult in comparison.

AI is not ready for this, which is why the amount of money and natural resources we throw at the technology is outright infuriating.

Ghost of Yotei. I’m going over how the changes would go if I made this a Western. The changes are minimal…

From the makers of the Gabe Gear, which makes a lot of sense given tablet power and control issues, comes…the GabeCube!

If you want to read these comics but don’t want to spend ungodly amounts of money on them, Humble Bundle is selling a massive amount of them for $18, with any proceeds after that (it’s a pay what you want system) going to the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund. https://www.humblebundle.com/books/thundercats-friends-dynamite-books?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=thundercatsnov25
