We need to find a new equivalent of Moribito that someone hasn't licensed, have an ad where Toonami admits the show will bomb, and then it will be a cemented dark age.

Crunchyroll/HiDive/Netflix have everything, and they don't want to share. Really, what else can people expect at this point? Toonami still has no budget, and with the CR partnership up in smoke due to the merger and sale to Sony, Sentai's purchase by AMC for reasons that still escape most of the business world, and precious few studios that still want to play ball, there's only so much you can do to stretch the dollar. You know it's bad when Warner still owns Rooster Teeth (for however little value that studio has) and Crunchyroll got the RWBY anime. Speaking of, this is what it feels like Toonami can put out - This is what Crunchyroll can put out -

The subbed version is out, and Episodes 1-3 are essentially a short form recap of the original RWBY Season 1, before it's set to go in an original direction. But, the animation, wow. I need SHAFT to look at more Western cartoons with shitty animation and give them this level of glow up.

It’s a mix. A surprising amount of action is 2D. It’s also a fun watch. The whole thing feels like the show a lot of Western cartoon writers would write if they weren’t so far up their own asses.

Welcome to Snowflake Mountain. A place where ragtag stuck at home snowflakes with zero life skills have to step up to the plate. Built as a wilderness boot camp, our snowflakes will compete to see who has what it takes, competing for a life-changing prize and the chance to kickstart their life and liberate their parents. No word on the follow up series "Boomer work", where 50+ somethings have to start from the bottom of the economic ladder and deal with crippling inflation, insane housing prices, and people just not giving a shit what they think since they can be dismissed with an avocado toast joke.

My guess is we’re getting some major course correction.

Netflix Spriggan 2-4.

This is just a place to post stuff. What's wrong with that?

Don’t suppose Crunchyroll can do the same. The Mets would be up for it.

Spriggan 1.

Say hello to Trigun Stampede from Studio Orange. And yes, Crunchyroll already confirmed they would air it.

Tim and Eric are considered “a comedian’s comedian” in much the same way Andy Kaufman was. They’re not trying to tell a drama about a broken marriage and a fucked up conservative town.

It’s being followed by the publisher of Trigun Maximum. Make of that what you will.

Lazzo has gone on record that he disliked heavy serialization because it made it harder to be funny (case in point, his vehement hatred of Metalocalypse) and some of the season 3 episodes barely had five jokes between episodes. It could easily be a case of both, but when Lazzo was in charge, jokes came first, and if you didn’t bring the funny, you were gone.

New trailer telling you to expect tits, metal, and an extremely handsome protagonist.

They really want me to assume a Season 2 is coming. Shenmue was the best of the Crunchyroll originals and it wasn’t even close (owning to how the rest ranged from mediocre to wretched), but the line is done. The legal tangles to get the show proper already sound like a headache.

You know it’s bad when it reminds people of Adult Swim Action.

Mike Lazzo’s admitted response -

Apparently when this was first announced the rumor was they wanted Henry Golding to be bald for it. Which hey, Asian lead playing a character called Saitama…

Justin Lin has signed on as a director. You may remember him from running from the set of the latest Fast and Furious movie SCREAMING.

As opposed to Toonami - Netflix’s animation head meanwhile is a weeb, but one of those weebs that thinks the 80s and 90s was the best time for the medium and rolls his eyes at socially conscious fans on Twitter and Tumblr. Why do you think the Western cartoons got eviscerated (“Fuck Wings of Fire, Fuck Bone, and fuck anything where the creator uses hair dye!”) but they keep hiring studios to make more stuff like 80s and 90s OVAs? “Yeah, let’s make a Cyberpunk show and have the chick with three boobs from Total Recall in it!”

It’s official. More He-Man anime.
