I maintain that the next few months will be very interesting for that show. I may be overestimating the Netflix show, but if that is a hit, I imagine Zaslav might have an opinion on the show continuing to air. If that's not a factor, the pace of Dressrosa certainly will be. I can't predict anything else at this point unless DeMarco does want to raid the Sentai warchest. Akhiabara Maid War is right there.

If it helps any, they are pretty much a shadow of what they used to be, thugs that coast by on their reputation from almost two centuries ago.

A Robotech/Macross movie script from 2019 has been found…and we dodged a bullet
Jman replied to Jman's topic in Anime & Manga
I just finished reading the whole script. I think if ever there was evidence of someone missing the entire goddamn point of Macross, besides Harmony Gold, it is this script. It is terrible in every sense of the word and would have probably become shorthand for bad films in the same way Batman and Robin is. -
Hasbro apparently but their financials are in the toilet. Also the Pinkertons have no legal authority and actually are banned from working for the government thanks to the Anti-Pinkerton Act of 1893. If you tell them to fuck off and they try to enter your home, you are within your rights to shoot to kill.

Considering the rumor AEW is getting an additional Saturday night show, we could easily see this at midnight in lieu of a Primal rerun. Granted I think that’s the point you throw in the towel on the block as a whole, but I think more people would watch it than yet another Primal rerun or a re-tooled Y7 show.

It’s admittedly a bit weird when you see her in other roles, which is why any clip of her from Lab Rats is usually packed with Naruto jokes in the comments.

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.

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.

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

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.
