And here I thought that baseball OVA could get them something with MLB.

Witch from Mercury 23 Hell’s Paradise 10

Air fried chicken and some leftover salad and bread. They can’t all be five star courses.

You know, with games getting remasters and re-releases, it would make a lot of sense if the block is starving for new material. What I’m saying is they should air Persona 4: The Animation. J/k Sorry, just had it on the brain because of the recent re-release of the game, not to mention the game is for all intents and purposes, Japanese Scooby Doo.

We have summaries for the first five episodes: https://www.tvpassport.com/series/my-adventures-with-superman/5630148

This explains why Genndy seems so pissed off at modern animation.

Leg of lamb with wheat garlic bread and salad. Cuts of meat with a carb and salad tend to be my go to’s, Since it’s Saturday I had it with red wine.

Persona 4 Golden. Funny, because I played 5 Royal first. So far it’s basically “Scooby Doo but Japanese.”

The directors are not striking. No word on the actors. Writers remain on the picket lines.

Squid ink pasta with a white wine garlic butter sauce, salmon, and garnished with parsley and baby tomatoes. Is it cheating if I only post the fancy stuff I make, and not say, the meal shake or a store bought quesadilla?

Things are happening very quickly.

This sounds like either a quickly silenced insurrection, or the prelude to a full blown civil war.

I think we keep having this conversation not out of redundancy on either of our ends, but because it feels like every week Zaslav makes a new stupid decision that comes to light, like trying to sell the music rights to half of Warner’s films, or the AI designed to reject pitches. Can someone tell him to space out his stupid actions, for all our sakes?

Right now Toonami is in a classic case of "Make due with what you have." And that's not changing any time soon. Was DeMarco biased for making yet more FLCL despite the clearly diminishing returns? Yes, but Crunchyroll, Netflix, and now Hulu/Disney are cutting him off at every turn. Jujutsu Kaisen? They should have aired it back when Warner owned Max but the success of the first season and movie have it out of price range. Witch from Mercury? Rocketing Bandai to record profits and controlled by Crunchyroll? Bleach? Viz seems happy giving their stuff to the Mouse. Even potential future seasons of Black Clover are probably Netflix bound after Sword of the Wizard King did utterly massive weekend numbers for them. It was easier in the past when Toonami did have a wider variety of shows, to dismiss not having others as those shows not being up to snuff. Sometimes it worked, consistent with DeMarco's quoted vision of a "bespoke action block" like when they aired Made in Abyss, and sometimes it's "Sure we don't have Chainsaw Man or Hell's Paradise, but we have a Genndy cartoon!" This is what happens when your parent company is so broke-ass that they're selling half of their music and no one wants to work with you anymore. I'm wondering how much of this is just good old fashioned budget given Warner's increasingly public financial issues and Zaslav's Priority #1 being debt reduction.

Yakitori: Soldiers of Misfortune 1-4. Apparently it's based on a sci-fi novel? The action is pretty good, but it feels like a small part of a much larger world, even with the flashbacks. Maybe that's the idea.

“More Rick and Morty clones! More! The algorithm demands it! And make sure our action cartoons look like the ani-Mays the kids like!”

What’s getting sold next week?

One theory I hear is that billionaires being so damn rich find it difficult to entertain the possibility of bad things happening to themselves. That they can buy their way out of problems.

Alright, what’s worse, being crushed by countless tons of pressure, or slowly asphyxiating? I assume the former is much quicker.

Considering the pressure, an implosion was probably very quick.

Rick with a British accent, yay or nay?

I really hope that CEO kept his mouth shut, because you know the passengers probably went after him if any of this got out.

Well the last hour of oxygen has passed and it appears they haven't found the submersible. Also The Simpsons apparently predicted this too -

Don’t worry, Zaslav didn’t forget Adult Swim!

There was a refugee ship that was capsized in the Mediterranean. The people on board were saved by a super yacht owned by a Mexican silver magnate. I mean, good on him for helping out the refugees, but if that ain’t financial inequality in one image…
