Fascinating. Sounds like the only issue is cost per oz, but it shouldn’t take too much to make it cheaper than an industry that requires heavy equipment and serious labor.

The thing that drives me crazy is we just saw that RWBY can look half decent if you get SHAFT to animate it. And amidst all the flaming wreckage, this PS2 era CG survives? Why the hell wasn’t SHAFT doing this too? Why is Volume 9 still happening when you could have just handed the franchise to the Urobutcher to reboot? Why the Justice League?!

This year, well, no lie, this year was ROUGH. A combination of the buyout destroying the shows they could get and Zaslav destroying the hype for the other shows made this year hurt. Still, we're down, but not out. Best - Shenmue The Animation showing the world that there was a good kung fu movie underneath the outdated gameplay. MHA is still on Toonami, even when it appeared that it would have gotten too big for the block (the Fortnite appearance, the freaking live-action movie having a distributor). Made in Abyss and Housing Complex C being two of the best examples of DeMarco's vision of a bespoke action block showing people animation that isn't necessarily going to be front page Netflix fodder with celebrity voice actors and Times Square ads. Worst - Yashahime - A nostalgia bait show that fails to deliver on the dynamics that made people nostalgic for the show! When women on social medial, InuYasha's primary audience, continually expressed preference for Bastard!! instead of Yashahime because King Dudebro Dark Schneider was more like the InuYasha they remembered and loved, something clearly has gone wrong in the writing room. Zaslav and his fiscal chainsaw being the closest the block has come to having Chainsaw Man. Between killing any hope of another Shenmue season and the fucking story ending properly, he has slashed budgets and killed any hope of really big acquisitions. It doesn't help that it's implied that the Sword of Damocles is also hovering above Uzumaki. More FLCL sequels - DeMarco loves FLCL more than James Cameron loves Smurfworld Pandora. Except Cameron at least has the effects to make Avatar 2 - The ReSmurfening a theatrical experience. FLCL is done. It was a great idea that's only hurt by unnecessary sequels. Kind of like Eureka 7.

Elon Musk now owns Twitter, apparently trying to run it into the ground

I’m presuming this is in response to right wing shitbag The Quartering asking for the job. -
Most channels don’t have the Instant Win button that is the NFL. Christmas football > Anything Adult Swim could reasonably air.

I’m sure Elon is thinking “what revenue?” -
Tetsujin 28 2004. I believe I found one of the best uses of licensed music in anime that didn’t stick in dubs since Speed Grapher replaced Duran Duran with a shitty instrumental.

Live Action One Piece, from sheer confusion to Season 2 renewal.

Oda claims to be personally involved in reviewing and editing S1 of the show; Don’t do that Oda. We all know it’s going to be Bebop all over again. Not to mention with Netflix being so cancel happy any more than two seasons will be a miracle. -
I don’t have one, but it looks awesome even if it makes my old Atari Lynx look svelte. Everyone seems happy with their Gabe Gear.

so crunchyroll commercials have been airing on adultswim

At this stage of the game, the idea of people being "Toonami only" when Netflix and Crunchyroll have collectively smashed their audience to nothingness is kind of shocking. -
Regardless of how this movie turns out, this teaser is already brilliant. It helps that Gerwig has won an Oscar, and is very enthusiastic about exploring the rather interesting duality Barbie has in pop culture. Feminist but regressive, a doll with dozens if not hundreds of variants showing her doing just about every job society has, but is often viewed as a vapid bimbo stereotype. Tells girls they can be anything, but is often accused of promoting an unrealistic standard of beauty and an idealized body image. So yeah, compare her to the 2001 monolith.

That’s a kick in DeMarco’s jorts. -
The charges are insurrection, obstruction, and conspiracy to defraud the government.

Let’s give the DC characters another kick in the balls while we’re at it. After being spoiled by Shaft’s very good animation for Ice Queendom, we’re getting a RWBY/Justice League crossover that is 100% Rooster Teeth QUALITY. Why the fuck didn’t Zaslav liquidate Rooster Teeth before he canceled the Batman Beyond movie?!
-
Yes the teaser is a big 2001 homage.
