Miss Goldenweek's being aged up.

In their infinite wisdom they put it behind a paywall, but I have an archived version. Just be forewarned, there are graphic descriptions of sexual assault and violence, so be advised if you do read it. https://archive.ph/79BtW I swear, between Joss Whedon and Gaiman, it really is the people who preach the loudest about feminism that have the most to hide.

You know, even if Toonami as a block dies, I'm curious if the name has enough value to be used for branding on Max.

Sakamoto Days 1 Kinnikuman Perfect Origin 12 - Invincible Fight Girl, but good.

Steak fillet, onions, mushrooms and sweet peppers sautéed in butter, and garlic bread.

More specifically, they moved onto union work. With the biggest anime dubber still being non-union, it takes union projects like this which hire pro wrestlers and established actors to get them to dub anime.

Nosferatu (2024) - 9/10. Focuses on atmosphere and tension, although it does indulge in a few jump scares, which I felt were a crutch for the much creepier atmospheric horror.

This show is the one bright spot in our horrible lineup and the real kicker is you can watch it elsewhere. Mash continues to prove that if there’s a wall, hit it. It will break.

Short rib beef adobo, mashed potatoes and salad.

Perfect is the enemy of good. In this case, instead of "mid", Toonami has -

Well, so much for Lazarus being ready. The start of the year is going to suck. At this point, the Rewind stuff is time-filler given the ass end of Saturday/Sunday morning it's on, not to mention that everything on the block, even the Flop Girl, is available elsewhere via streaming. Still, like any cook on a budget, DeMarco can't let a single part of the animal be wasted.

And the cherry on the sundae? …Mashle’s entire first season is now on Netflix.

Here's the...surprisingly packed cast. https://www.crunchyroll.com/news/latest/2025/1/9/sakamoto-days-anime-final-trailer-english-dub-cast Featuring the live-action Blue Beetle, WWE wrestler Alexa Bliss, and a lot of names like Matthew Mercer.

Great, so not even the crimes are original. It's disgusting either way.

Finished S1 of Mashle.

That ad on the left really sums it all up. The cult mentality of it all.

With Sony investing more money in the animoos, Netflix investing more, and even Disney investing more, I can see why Warner would be hedging their bets. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/business-news/ces-sony-group-deepens-investments-anime-1236102709/ Even as Cartoon Network is in fewer and fewer homes, I can see why they might view Toonami as a value add for the brand, but unfortunately, that means DeMarco and his shit taste are along for the ride. They're not going to put the block out of its misery until Adult Swim and Cartoon Network itself mean more as branding on Max than they do as linear programming blocks. Otherwise, they're going to be leaving Sony or Amazon MGM the inevitable Jujutsu Kaisen movie.

Shenmue was arguably the best Toonami original to date, more screwed over by licensing nonsense than its story. I stand by that, I really liked it and wanted them to fix the dumpster fire that was Shenmue III.

So what is Crunchyroll’s non-DeMarco exclusive anime going to look like? Oh.

Filet mignon, cheddar bay biscuits, and salad with red wine. The nice “not in the snow” dinner.

The judge already signaled no jail time. I don’t see why.

Mashle 5-7.

Trust me when I say, at least the comic is not light on the action. There’s plenty of food porn and waxing poetic about good food and etiquette, but a guy dies in the first ten pages, violently may I add. From there there’s a lot of violence, gang warfare, and fight scenes.
