It’s rumored once this arc is over we’ll find out what their next course of action is for the show. Anyone have a set date for that?

It was alright. It clearly knows it wants to be one of those “over the top celebrity cartoons” with more violence. Think Mike Tyson Mysteries if the influence was spy fiction and not Scooby Doo. But I didn’t hate it at all, and it is kind of funny Elvis’s main female handler doesn’t like his music.

Ultraman S3 Episode 1

Bandai is also seeing increasing profits with Ultraman and Kamen Rider (the latter fresh off the Shin Kamen Rider film) as well.

Those OVA's are traditionally the biggest pains in the ass to license for whatever reason.

https://deadline.com/2023/05/elon-musk-steps-down-twitter-ceo-1235363917/ Elon finally found someone to foist the day to day operations on. Now he can go back to doing what he does best on Twitter, asking for stuff without knowing how it’s done and posting weird tweets.

Elon’s remake of the Odd Couple: The Disgraced Newscasters.

They’re pushing it on a kids block, which the ACME block is. The closest Adult Swim has ever come to doing that prior was a short cameo of the Aqua Teens in the Powerpuff Girls movie that most people didn’t even see until the widescreen edition became standard.

That is what they’re doing. They’re switching the name. HBO Max becomes Max. Also apparently continuing to gut animation.

Yes, the caveman is called Pickle. ...I'm so sorry.

Cartoon Network is really pushing this show, but this ain't helping one bit with the "kids show" look.

It's kind of funny to see that Dexter is being dumped just as Cartoon Network/Adult Swim was going all in on promoting Genndy as one of their great auteurs. Meanwhile, Zaslav found something he wants to spend money on. This seems to fit a continuing pattern of Zaslav de-emphasizing animation in favor of sports and reality program (even if the sports are fake).

This is probably why Vic’s competing service is unlimited.

Not too expensive either apparently.

Apparently the F-bomb take was the original take. Still, this was my reaction.

I’m a big proponent of the mantra “You have one chance to make a first impression.” There should be something hinted at which makes it either funny to revel in their terrible nature or to make us root for their development. I’m not sure if I see either. Especially since the stated goal for the characters is not a sympathetic one in the least. If they are meant to be terrible people and this series ends with them all dying horribly, well, that might make it worth it. Still, I’m not giving up on them yet. Genndy has earned at least a little benefit of the doubt at this point, wouldn’t you say?

Yeah, Elon probably had way more sapphire cash to make it worth breaking the non compete. Because when your reputation is that low, what’s one more foot deeper?

Uh, can it? He’s under a non-compete with Fox till the end of 2024. That likely includes internet broadcasts. Fox likely can and will sue his ass, even if to get some of that money back they paid Dominion.

Late 90s dub vibes abound.

Looks like the UFC dominated the night but reruns are reruns. I guess we’ll see if Unicorn’s rerun heavy strategy builds an audience or if adults aren’t interested in a family friendly action cartoon.

The show debuts this month, and here’s the big robot combination sequence. Don’t suppose anyone is interested in international distribution.

All their WWII era stuff is apparently on the front.
