…I know this joke is way too obvious, but I can’t help it.

People like this thrive by creating an echo chamber and then telling anyone who will listen to not go beyond it. Starting his own service is not impossible, given how it worked for Alex Jones and friends.

Shit went down FAST for this to happen. Like “I diddled kids” or “the government is about to arrest me” fast.

The first tangible budget cut.

It’s no Venture Brothers or Metalocalypse film but it’s better than nothing.

John Oliver uses one of his last two shows before a potential writers strike shuts down Last Week Tonight to dunk on crypto. Nice summary of events.

I'm not surprised everything at Warner Bros. Discovery is a mess. Cuts here, there and everywhere, the upcoming Max launch, the whole DC reboot, etc. Adult Swim has to be a very low priority. Looks like DeMarco did get his hands on AOT Part 1. That should be good. Bloody shame about the Toonami book being unpublishable. That's the sort of coffee table book a lot of Gen Xers would love. Pantheon was written off for taxes months ago, and AMC doesn't work directly with Warner. It was never an option. Sony has been public about not taking sides in the streaming wars but when it comes to anime they seem to be very happy giving their wares to everyone but Toonami. If DeMarco can convince them that Toonami is not Crunchyroll's enemy, maybe they can get a working relationship going again. Hell's Paradise: Jigokuraku is lighting up social media right now and would be a great show to air, but it's probably not happening. I maintain Uzumaki is probably hanging on by a thread. Let's hope the production delays are over because I still think it could be a cut given its long history. What money? A lot of DeMarco's ideas boil down to a singular complaint he has - What freaking money?

The only role I really remember her as was the teacher from Lab Rats, where she’s also a bit of an eccentric. I think she’s good at the comedy aspect. Speaking of, I kind of wish we got a shitpost of another HBO show instead of Succession. Like White House Plumbers.

Apparently the writing is so bad it made several viewers think a full blown writers strike was a good idea.

Hell's Paradise: Jigokuraku 1-2. Been a while since a good old fashioned supernatural feudal era story in the vein of Ninja Scroll.

“We have the rights to the Akira reboot. Fuck you Waititi!” /s

Hunger - 7.5/10 Apparently “kitchen horror” is now a genre, as this Thai take on haute cuisine and the people paying for it being vapid idiots is both more optimistic and more cynical than The Menu. The Menu is about a guy losing his passion and taking it out on morons, while Hunger is about people replacing their passion with elitism and cynicism, but at the same time saying the passion is worth fighting for. It’s a more “conventional” film than The Menu. Mario - 6.5/10, 7.5/10 if you see it in a fancy 4DX. A perfectly serviceable but safe film that needed some more time to breathe and a bit more elaboration, but is never boring. Yes, add a point if you watch it in the fancy theater with the moving seats because it turns a regular film into an amusement park ride of sorts and really contributes to the visual spectacle that the film wants to be.

Please say you’re referring to Man of Tomorrow and not RWBY.

LOOK AT IT. LOOK AT IT AND LAUGH. The only way to justify a Part II is if the RWBY girls somehow end up in the DC universe and look like they're animated in the way the more recent DC movies were. Or at the very least, Super Sons.

“Immortals. We put their name to the test.”

Funny enough, most of the big gets for the next few months are going to be Western because of Crunchyroll keeping stuff for itself and Hulu, and Hulu keeping Bleach. Unicorn: Warriors Eternal and My Adventures with Superman may be kids show sent to Toonami because action cartoons don’t work on CN proper, and arguably the biggest possible get in the next 12 months would be Creature Commandos. So if you feel like Toonami needs more Western stuff, wait a bit, because they don’t have a choice.

Close. It’s a random rumor monger who posts unverified rumors for engagement and clout. He got caught with his hand in the cookie jar numerous times recently though, such as posting fake DC rumors James Gunn said were BS. That being said, GriftTube ran with the story and still reports it as fact, because it fits the narrative of filthy western activists ruining everything.

Yeah, it’s adverse interest to not let safe prescriptions sell for profit.

RWBY’s continued existence is a blight on animation as a whole.

“Cowa-Bummer Shinji!”

I just know we’ll never have the sheer whiplash kids did when it debuted. Yes, it replaced the Japanese dub of the original Ninja Turtles cartoon.

A new clip of this disasterpiece just hit and yes, that’s the Light from Netflix Death Note as Bruce Wayne. I’m convinced at this point RWBY is an active shitpost whose current writers actively conspire to make it look and sound worse lest they be judged as an actual show and look like the dumpster fire they are.

Yikes.
