Premiering Sunday on HBO and Max.

Yaiba: Samurai Legend 1. Gundam GQuuuuuuuX 1.

So Prime Video got a union dub, but they didn’t break out the celebrity Rolodex like they did for Invincible.

For anyone wondering, Lazarus failed to make the Max Top 10.

Netflix has it.

Red Ranger Isekai 10.

Last night I got a call from Amazon’s incident report team about the whole “going to their driver at 4am with a weapon”, deal. They understood I thought it was a thief, apologized and de-escalated as per their official report, but you never feel good after doing an incident report, even if they make it clear it was a misunderstanding and everyone understands.

This wasn’t Watanabe’s first choice. He wanted to make a show similar to Space Dandy.

Is anyone surprised? You’re competing with streamers. All the anime, all the time. It’s not a fair fight.

Amazon apparently does deliveries at 4am. I heard my doorbell ring, and I went outside with a bat thinking it was a thief or something. Instead it was some delivery driver. I had to apologize for having a weapon, but come on, 4am?!

Yeah, so apparently this sucks. The reaction is “Edgy teen sees Devilman Crybaby and misses the point.”

Makes sense for the physical. The digital games still be $20 more? That's just old fashioned corporate greed. It's enough to make me want a Steam Deck.

I honestly believe it will outlive Groening. The Sitcom of Theseus.

https://variety.com/2025/tv/news/the-simpsons-family-guy-bobs-burgers-american-dad-renewed-four-seasons-1236355159/ Fox isn’t fucking around. They gave American Dad, and all their other animated sitcoms four more seasons. It’s particularly dramatic for The Simpsons which will hit Season 40(!) when this is done.

7 Days in Hell - 9/10. Short movie that is so dense with the laughs it’s amazing.

It’s…a parody of Cats?

Finished Kinnikuman Perfect Origin S2 Kenshin reboot 1. Red Ranger Isekai 9.

The review sounds like the most DeMarco shit ever. Like he was standing over Watanabe the whole time giving notes. The lack of show, don’t tell is particularly worrisome.

Finished Solo Leveling S2.

A bright spot for the block.

It's pretty clear that all these years later, DeMarco still considers Cowboy Bebop the platonic ideal of what an anime should be, which is kind of hilarious when you consider that he has also repeatedly said FLCL was his favorite anime ever. Bebop is everything that DeMarco thinks anime should be, it stars an adult cast, any sort of fanservice is quick and doesn't occupy the screen excessively (and I still think he'd edit out some of the more blatant Faye shots if he could), the action is stylized but still relatively down to earth, having more in common with John Woo than Go Nagai or the duo behind Kinnikuman. But this is probably DeMarco's most blatant attempt so far to try and recapture that Bebop magic. I don't know how well this will do. But I'm not exactly confident.
