Go Nagai concept, Anno directing, and Imashi handling the art. Way back in the day I thought this would have made a great movie for adult swim action, except the free flowing nipples would have made that impossible.

Apparently the dub for the prologue was dumped on Crunchyroll with zero warning or ads.

Record of Ragnarok S2 7-10. The last time a Netflix anime got this popular this quickly was Cyberpunk Edgerunners, which single handedly saved that game. It’s kind of crazy.

Streaming even in the era of contraction is a weird beast. You know what the 4th most popular show in Netflix US was? (It’s 5th today). Record of Ragnarok. Feels like it snuck up on us.

Speaking of jail, can I talk briefly about something bugging me a bit? It feels like people are trying to downplay these accusations by saying he’s canceled. No. Warren Ellis was canceled. He can’t get work anymore but he can still sleep in his own bed, go to the grocery store, and have dinner at a restaurant whenever he pleases with his Transmetropolitan residuals. This jackass got ARRESTED. He’s an accused felon! That’s not cancelation, that’s potential jail time! He’s not canceled by the mob, he’s being charged for a crime! Two!

That makes it easier for DeSantis to dress himself up as “the normal one”.

Considering DeMarco didn’t bother advertising the celebrity cast, just that Rooster Teeth QUALITY, it would be a waste of money.

Well if he goes to jail, at least there will be a cash pool for the inevitable civil suits.

It’s out, and in a particularly brilliant bit of casting, George Newbern is Hercules. Aka the voice of Superman from Justice League.

Seemed to work out for the Mouse though.

No sign of Disney + originals, no Andor, no Willow, and no Warrior Nun.

That wasn’t the intention but I’m happy to roll with it, especially with the picture next to the quote.

They’re not sending the cheap tanks either, they’re sending a battalion of Abrams along with all those European Leopard tanks, which are widely viewed as completely outclassing anything on either side right now. The noted engagements of Abrams vs Russian tanks occurred in both Iraq wars, and the Abrams wiped the floor with their Russian counterparts.

“Quick! We need to keep this fail boat afloat now that Roiland’s going to jail!”

Again, I don’t see either show lasting long without Roiland, but the right decision was made.

The hits keep coming for Roiland.

Watching TV last night, reading all the Roiland drama and realizing just how much this block relies on Rick and Morty to keep the lights on, I have a simple question. Was Demon Slayer not coming back the first sign of Toonami going downhill, or were their other symptoms? I feel like we missed something when it had all the momentum in the world, and that momentum boosted everyone else.
