UFC Middleweight Champion and noted weeb Israel Adesanya was KOed tonight. Not sure how it will affect Toonami’s ratings.

We have a front runner for Fenix.

I’d like to share something Conroy did before he passed, an autobiographical comic he did for DC called “Finding Batman”, explaining how the role fit with his own struggles as a gay actor in the 80s and 90s. Honestly reading it made me respect him that much more. https://at.tumblr.com/why-i-love-comics/dc-pride-1-finding-batman-2022-written-by/f7c4zstrxqe8

RIP.

If anyone here is going to Anime NYC, they will be debuting the first episode of Stampede there.

The one night stand with the corp rep, and Panam.

Of course not. I think...

Still probably cheaper than the PSVR2.

This is another license rescue that got held up, similar to their recently announced Bioshock project.

At least the only thing the Metaverse has killed is Zuckerberg’s net worth.

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/black-adam-box-office-tops-another-slow-weekend-1235256273/ Black Adam wins the weekend at a very slow box office while OP makes significantly less than DBZ, Kaisen, and Demon Slayer, but still within expectations. Unsurprising given OP’s general middling popularity here (something I know Toei wants to fix with the…*sigh* Netflix show). Adam is still not doing anywhere near the higher level of expectations though.

To be fair, anime films tend to have poor legs at the box office, with strong first weekend results then weaker followings. It's still way more money than they've pulled down prior. The hierarchy of power has made Black Adam look like less of a bonafide hit than Zaslav was presumably praying for it to be, and next week is Wakanda Forever, a film that looks like garbage, but carries enough goodwill from the original Black Panther and Chadwick Boseman's tragic passing that it will likely annihilate all comers at the box office.

Hey, Zaslav canceled something that wasn’t animated!

High Rise is an assured case of "So bad and blunt, it comes out the other end and is amazing." Netflix is weird because they release stuff that becomes honest to God mainstream hits in a way that's virtually impossible for other anime...while having tons of other stuff on the service that's ignored or otherwise there to fill time. It's part of why I find their adaptations interesting, because of the attention the successful ones do get. That and the complete lack of any censorship outside the self-practiced stuff from the studio itself. You just have to wade through a lot of junk in the interim. Edgerunners had CD Project Red paying for it, and the dub cast getting Gus to do Faraday. No clue about Kotaro or Komi--san, and I like Komi-san.

Highlights!

He’s doing the Q3 conference call right now. I’ll give out the highlights when done.

Yes, that is the same Adam from Adam Ruins Everything. And yes, he blames Zaslav and his fiscal chainsaw.

This was inevitable following those accusations. Tiffany Haddish is for all intents and purposes radioactive.

Lionsgate apparently still has the Naruto rights. They even had a director (dude behind The Greatest Showman), but I bet the contract has long expired.

Chainsaw Man 2 - The most horny on main lead in a shounen since Meliodas.

I'm more or less showing my displeasure at the need to make a live-action Your Name. How about give the actual Your Name a wider release, or some streaming play?
