Another legend of the printed medium lost. 84 is a good run, but still, the world has lost a master. RIP.

It was a busy week sports wise. College football and a UFC PPV were both on. Baseball playoffs are approaching. And that’s on top of the block’s already noted issues, that everyone watches the shows on other services that conform to their schedules, rather than the other way around.

Good God, that’s bad. Toonami already had the issue of On Demand competition, but now they can’t even bring in passerby’s with a casual audience lead in.

They said Ed would show in Season 2.

And in news to really rustle DeMarco’s jimmies -

Ask most anime fans and “Tank!” is, if not considered the best anime opening ever, it’s at least in the top 10. Apparently the Netflix people agreed, because they literally just remade the anime OP. It’s the same damn track from the anime.

That’s one way to get Mugen Train on Toonami. Unless Netflix goes “Yoink!” like with JJBA.

We'll definitely get a version of the theme. The only one who didn't were those idiots at DIC. Who thought "I Ran" was a good idea? I remain convinced Omega got a remix of Pegasus Fantasy solely because of the "I Ran" cover.

Guessing a 12-18 month turnaround.

Lightsabers in the rain was done once. Genndy’s Clone Wars.

I suppose If this is successful we can look forward to that girl from Stranger Things and Liam Neeson in an adaptation of Ronin Warriors.

It’s happening, it actually has a good director and stunt crew, and for some reason, Sean Bean as Saori’s butler.

Kind of wondering if Fena is getting any views on Crunchyroll proper.

Watch as that happens and then we do get the Yakuza series with the entire cast Netflix got for He-Man. I’d laugh.

Bye bye Family Guy.

Then what, Netflix gets a celebrity dub for their adaptation of a series based on Yakuza? They bring back Mark Hamill as Majima?

https://www.newyorkcomiccon.com/en-us/explore/panels/panel-information.html?gtID=747896&panel-name=Shenmue-Continuing-the-Legacy-Virtual-Screening Here’s hoping for a non-crappy dub.

Considering they have the big LA movie and the Hathaway trilogy, most likely.

Stretching has traditionally been VERY hard to make convincing. And that's the biggest thing, front and center. The fact that the live-action adaptation I have the most confidence in right now is the live-action version of Saint Seiya shows how much I trust a lot of these studios. At least they confirmed the choreography is going to be from the same team that did Shang-Chi, so even if the acting sucks, the fights will look really, really good.

Persona 5 Royal. Started with the free vanilla version but was compelled to upgrade due to a sale.

If it doesn't, Netflix will probably swoop it up first chance they get given the ratings the first season did for them.

It was the eyes. That and Alita never had major market penetration here, James Cameron just thought the OVA was cool. He could have watched the 90s JoJo OVA and we would have seen that. Most of the people who saw Alita liked it, but a combination of the Fox buyout and a disappointment of a box office opposite Captain Marvel means the sequel will never be made (and I bought the Blu-Ray hoping it would). As much as I ragged on One Piece, it and Bebop have that major penetration (hell, Netflix gave OP a second life in the US), so them doing well would potentially be that Superman: The Movie moment or that Batman moment for manga/anime adaptations. (It may be arguably unfair to compare anime/manga adaptations to that scene from Superman which is considered an iconic moment in modern cinema, not just superhero films, but that’s my point all over). So naturally everyone involved keeps shooting themselves in the feet with shotguns. Because we can’t have nice things anymore. And hoping writers just shut their damn mouths is too much to ask.

Giant Robo had two dubs, the old VHS era dub and a proper dub that was done specifically for the DVD release.
