Dragonball Super: Super Hero. Fun movie on a weekday night. Attack on Titan 84-87. Well, that’s in the books.

HBO Max purges a ton of animation from its service
Jman replied to Jman's topic in Toonami & [adult swim]
There are some vague rumors Cartoon Network itself might be shut down when all is said and done, but that’s probably a bridge too far. That being said, Warner is running out of money. -
David Zaslav cancels “Batman: Caped Crusader” before it airs
Jman replied to Jman's topic in Toonami & [adult swim]
Maybe. Honestly I could see Netflix getting it. I still want to know who greenlit a Family Matters anything in 2022. Family Matters. Urkel. This - This thing was a stereotype when it was on roughly 30 years ago. -
Watch as Zaslav fires Genndy anyway.

Jman replied to Jman's topic in Toonami & [adult swim]
Zaslav's cuts extend to other projects - Why the hell Warner was making a damn Family Matters Christmas special in 2022 is another matter altogether, but it's dead now. -
Nearly 30 years later, the American Sailor Moon pilot has been found
Jman replied to Jman's topic in Anime & Manga
Had the show kept going, we would have seen more guns. And that would have been amazing. Two more random trivia notes while I’m at it - 1. Adrienne Barbeau was one of the voices in this! She plays Beryl and Queen Serenity, which is just…really? I know she was going into voice work around this time, but ouch. 2. It’s the same set as Saved by the Bell: The College Years. The Power Rangers were often joked of as being Saved by the Bell with kung fu, so this brings it full circle as a ripoff of Rangers (this attempt, not the original which was a female centric take on the Sentai formula, but not a ripoff of such). -
Paprika was originally a book, but on the other hand, Birds of Prey was a flop.

Depends on what the “outdoor” is. I’ve gotten into bike rides when it’s nice out, and I like hanging out by the beach and the pool, especially in the era of wi-fi and tablets. But rain and the like? I’ll pass.

As a stand-alone product, it is hilariously wretched. It is everything wrong with not only American animation during the 90s, but female action cartoons since forever. Ami in the wheelchair, making Makoto a black girl just to try and follow Power Rangers' model. But as a time capsule of the early 90s, it is hilariously brilliant. To think, when this was produced, American animation producers decried Japanese productions as low budget and poorly executed. The people who pitched this, TO THIS DAY, believe that this version of Moon would have been infinitely more successful than the original. So as a historical time capsule of the 90s, it's ironically brilliant. All that was missing was the inevitable replacing of Usagi's wand with a gigantic cannon straight out of a Rob Liefeld comic. -

Vic Mignogna loses his defamation trial appeal
Jman replied to matrixman124's topic in Anime & Manga
Now his actions are even further etched in stone. Can we put this guy to rest now? His career by all reasonable accounts is over and we should start acting like it is. -

When cancellation isn’t enough, purge any and all evidence of the show’s existence.
