Micro transactions are evil and this is why.

Well we know now it’s not a Netflix exclusive so there’s definitely a chance.

October simulcast, but they didn’t say who the partner would be. It might be on YouTube directly or a Crunchyroll joint if it’s a simulcast though.

This is a toss up between Netflix and Viz I would say but Crunchyroll has a good shot too. The thing is that Bandai doesn’t license exclusively usually, they try casting a wide net.

Sorry, it was Mike Lazzo, not DeMarco that said that. And with Lazzo gone, they seem to be working on undoing a lot of things he did (like bringing back Metalocalypse after Lazzo personally canceled it).

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/streaming-usage-hits-high-june-2022-1235183971/ As even streaming services take on sports programming (Amazon and Apple both have baseball), this will likely get worse.

You’re seeing their wane as people realize that they can’t make money from them. Once that happened, collapse was inevitable.

Considering they said that the anime will be uncensored, throwing Toonami a chopped to hell version to spur CR subscriptions feels like a very evil bait and switch. Alternatively, Standards and Practices could call this a Fujiko Mine situation and say “It won’t work, don’t bother.”

That’s precisely why they got it IIRC. That and it was a direct pushback against Lazzo saying he didn’t think women were funny.

August 7 will see a new trailer and a release date announcement. Hopefully other stuff too.

You have to remember all these execs are crusty dudes in their 70s and 80s who first came to power during the Carter administration.

She doesn’t succeed. Chuck is still the worst.

The same ones that presumably ask their kids what they like for the Animation Oscars because they can’t be arsed to watch “kiddie shit”.

Man, Seinfeld kicked ass. ”What’s the deal with live action anime?”

Russia’s excuse for its military failures is a freaking doozy - https://www.yahoo.com/news/russia-says-losing-because-ukraine-104546288.html If I was a Ukrainian spokesman, I’d just roll with it. “Yeah, sure, we can neither confirm nor deny mutant test tube soldiers.”

And we have our Kuwabara - No word on other characters and their announcements. Keiko and Botan most notably.

New trailer, with more of Heihachi being evil Mas Oyama (most full contact karate masters in fiction take their cues from Oyama, the late founder of Kyokushin Karate) and 2D/3D mixing reminiscent of Godzilla Singular Point.

You know Borderland and Yu Yu have the same production company? Apparently Yu Yu’s director worked on Borderland with Shinsuke Sato (who last I checked was tapped to make a MHA film for Legendary).

Fresh from a bunch of LA projects including Gantz and Prince of Tennis.

According to their own website, 70 million homes.

Here's a preview clip -

Kurama is played by an actor whose prior credits are tokusatsu, particularly ToQger.

For what it's worth, I trust Toho a lot more than I trust Tomorrow Studios. This is the same studio that employed Akira Kurosawa, so they have the pedigree.

As much as I like Alice in Borderland, I will always be weary of these adaptations, especially Yu Yu Hakusho, which despite attempts at commentary through its arc, is still unabashedly shounen. Bebop’s a dead horse but Netflix REALLY wants its anime adaptations to be the new comic book adaptation since we have all but exhausted the comic book well.

Adult Swim’s bumps were either irreverent jokes or making fun of anime fans back in the day. I don’t see the issue.
