Counterpoint - Death Note, Ghost In the Shell, Dragonball Evolution, that insanely awful Fist of the North Star that thought Malcom McDowell should be Ryuken… When one of the better examples of a manga adaptation was the Direct to Video sequel to The Guyver, maybe you shouldn’t try adapting anime or manga to live action.

https://www.facebook.com/1440408039583372/posts/2730713753886121/?d=n This was inevitable. Get ready to party like it’s 2005 all over again as weirdo fans argue with the rest of the ASMB. Or don’t since the ASMB is dead, we’re more mature, and Tim and Eric are doing advertising and short form work.

I've made plenty of jokes that Man of Steel is a Dragon Ball movie, but he is the worst choice possible. Dragon Ball when you get down to it, revels in how absurd it can be, while Snyder is really serious and straight laced about his work.

Kind of hoping this week during the Netflix virtual convention they announce the cast of the LA version or at least a new batch or animated episodes.

I was just thinking of those late G1 Transformers comics, circa 1990.

A new preview with the actual OP, Bloodlines by JAM Project, the same time a really horrid looking Western looking mecha series called Mech Cadets was announced, proving once again the West shouldn’t be allowed to do mecha since they can’t do Getter.

Behold some guy acting out scenes from the pilot.

New trailer. America loves it some fighting anime.

Double post to confirm the script is real because the lawyers have begun taking down copies of it.

I recommend everyone read the script for a laugh, because this legitimately reads like a hate fic.

They apparently turned the pilot down to be reworked. Some highlights from the script might explain why.

I still remember back in the day one ASA night had nothing but ads for gum. That was back when [adult swim] couldn’t advertise booze.

Army of the Dead - 7/10. Fun zombie movie with two big Snyder weaknesses. It runs too long and Zack Snyder really wishes he directed Lord of The Rings before Peter Jackson did.

Ever wonder what Gundam would have looked like if it was available in the 90s and Marvel licensed it? This is as close as you’ll get to knowing.

RIP.

The Superman show looks like dogshit unfortunately, since it looks like the same losers that ran She-Ra into merchandising hell to the point Mattel is trying to forget it happened. The Batman show, that is probably Toonami bound if DeMarco gets his way.

And not to be outdone we're getting a Superman series as well, focusing Superman and Lois as their careers begin and advance.

Bruce Timm, Matt Reeves, and JJ Abrams are all on board, and DeMarco is probably hoping to get it the same way they got gen:Lock from Rooster Teeth.

We actually are getting a Mario movie from the Minions people, but people who do this oughta be blacklisted. Causes everyone to lose their shit for 2 hours before it's reported fake.

Nvm. I hope that jackoff gets blacklisted.

Damn good show though.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-05-16/at-t-is-said-in-talks-to-combine-content-assets-with-discovery-kor6r2uj Short version is AT&T figures its quickest way out of debt is to get out of entertainment and focus on its core telecom business. To that end, they plan to spin off the Warner Media library and combine it with Discovery while still keeping a stake in the business. Discovery meanwhile hopes to position the new entity as better able to take on Netflix. That includes Cartoon Network.

I would assume it’s the same reason that Adult Swim did their damndest to reconcile with creators like Brendon Small after they lost the Family Guy rights.

They may have been joking but most of the fandom and a lot of the creators took it seriously. Like I said, they lorded their “only game in town” status over the plebs until mass streaming broke their monopoly. There was a motherfucker on the old ASMB that had an entire site dedicated to shitting on anime and attacking anyone who had anything positive to say. “I think anime STINKS and I’m not gonna apologize.”
