I think we all sort of suspected that was the case, but it's nice to have it confirmed.

I got my second shot, so I'm probably going to go this weekend. Apparently it was available for sale on PS Video for a few hours (only via the PS4 and Google, not via any other method) but it's since been removed. So if you want to get on board the Train, you're gonna have to find a theatre or wait till June.

Then there was the time Okada showed up on a random card game show, got pissed, and hit the monster with a Rainmaker.

Pro wrestling anime is hardly new, but the last one sponsored by an actual organization was Tiger Mask W, thanks to New Japan Pro Wrestling.

Apparently the film beat the Mortal Kombat remake at the box office, but the latter has the handicap of being on HBO Max for no extra cost (that and everyone hates the OC as they should). DeMarco probably will pick up S2 as soon as it’s available otherwise Netflix will get the film and the second season for viewers.

I want to see it but I don’t get my second jab till Monday. That and half the theaters here are still closed for COVID.

It came up during WWE’s quarterly earnings report. Dave Meltzer mentioned it in his summary as did others.

That and New Japan Pro Wrestling did it.

Sadly Deadpool Samurai won't hit till early next year.

Big West is going to begin to release all the post 1987 Macross content, and they're starting with Flashback 2012, a series of music videos that serve as an epilogue to Do You Remember Love? (the in-universe excuse being it's Lynn Minmay's farewell tour before leaving Earth on the SDF-2 Megaroad).

Said franchise include - the Megazone 23 franchise, Hades Project Zeorymer, Dangaioh, the Bubblegum Crisis franchise, the Gall Force franchise, and the Tenchi Muyo! franchise. https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2021-04-16/aic-toei-agency-sign-deal-to-co-own-megazone-23-tenchi-muyo-other-classic-anime/.171765 Pure oldhead material right here folks.

Yeah, tell Sunrise and Legendary that. Sure they’ll listen. Casting is of course pending but now that the world is slowly restarting maybe we’ll hear something at one of the virtual conventions. And I ain’t going to front, I want to see Michael Bay Voltron just to have the opposite of the awful Dreamworks show.

Netflix continues to try the corner a market no one else is focused on and Roberts now has another giant robot movie to work on (he’s directing Metal Gear). Between this, Sony throwing all that money to get Robotech going again, and rumors Universal wants to restart production on a Voltron movie with Michael Bay as director, the next few years may have a lot of giant robot films.

Here’s hoping. Harmony Gold has said they would no longer try to block it, and they don’t want a cut of anything but the original Macross (In exchange for Big West recognizing them as the legitimate international distributor of the original series and Robotech as a valid use of the license).

Second preview. Apparently JAM Project is remixing all the openings they did for various Getter shows for the previews. And people wonder why I hated Netflix Voltron so much.

Not surprising. DeMarco is holding on to the rights of whatever he can lest Netflix air it.

And now for the most bungled sequel since Highlander II.

My assumption is Sony threw a shitload of money at everyone, but Big West acknowledges Robotech as its own thing, and Harmony Gold acknowledges it is not the global owner of Macross.

Also the Robotech movie might finally see the light of day.

The Final Four slaughtered everything else that night, but that was network television.

Well the West utterly sucks at mecha, and the problem is the past few years a lot of the examples that have been mass market releases have been Western. I've made fun of Voltron ad nauseum on here, but the numbers don't lie about how badly those toys bombed. gen:Lock meanwhile barely got a second season but it was clear the initial reaction was rather poor. Also that Pacific Rim anime did get a renewal.

You say that when the biggest movie of the weekend involved kaiju and mecha. Besides, if that was the case, Legendary Defender wouldn't have flopped due to its distinct lack of mecha. The West can't be bothered with shows airing at 2:30 am, especially the same day as the Final Four.
