It seems to be a token attempt so they can shit on GOP candidates in battleground states by saying they voted no to the good stuff in it.

Yes, after years of stops and starts, the Hawkeye director has the green light to make the movie about pop music and transforming robots saving humanity from giant aliens.

You know, the guy in the costume was a big climactic boss fight you had to win twice. Here, Ryo remembers all the Wuda and just whoops his ass. Now if only his fists could penetrate Dou Niu's fat. Joy, it's nice you want to do this for Ryo, but his only love right now is vengeance. Lan Di! I don't remember if he jumped off the chopper to directly confront Ryo in the game, but it appears the season (and more than likely, series) will end with the two confronting each other again.

For some reason, the website is down, so I can't watch it just yet. I could watch the subtitled version if it's not up in a few hours, but I've been watching the dub because it actually kind of works, unlike the game dub.

We’re averaging about 1 dead Russian general a week. Most militaries don’t lose a general in their entire campaign unless they’re being invaded because they should never be so close to the front.

So why waste the money when Japan is lining up to give you the goods, with less competition? The only way I see CR originals being a big priority is if HBO Max directly goes after some.

If that's the only choices they have, they'll just air the second Harley Quinn season since they still won't cross the live-action barrier.

Ryo and Ren run into an obvious trap...because Ryo is kind of an idiot. With two episodes left, can Ryo rescue Yuwanda Zhu and defeat the Yellowheads? And what about the guy in the facepaint from the last episode?

I honestly see the opposite from Crunchyroll. The originals are crap, mothball the line since they don’t need to compete heavily for the animus anymore and focus on importing.

Part of me wonders if this MTG thing is a setup to nail her with perjury charges because there’s at least 5 examples so far.

The Aqua Teens are back in 3-4 minute shorts and are still Numba 1 in Da Hood, G. They even got back some people I wasn’t expecting like MC Chris (who’s basically a complete fuckup and a pariah thanks to how he acts at concerts). And of course, the Mooninites. Newest one today involves the Frat Aliens.

I feel like Netflix would have announced it by now. Honestly that would be a good way to fuck with the people pissed off Bone was canceled, announce it was replaced with Chainsaw Man. Without that announcement I believe it Crunchyroll bound.

IIRC it was promotional material for a mobile game.

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/voltron-movie-amazon-1235132178/ Amazon seems to have won the bidding war. It’s kind of hilarious that they’re getting this and the LA She-Ra. Just undoing all the Dreamworks takes.

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/voltron-movie-amazon-1235132178/ Amazon and Jeff Bezos have won the bidding war apparently. Let’s see if it comes out around the same time as their Hellsing movie.

Time to flip through the DC animated rolodex.

Knowing this block I expect it to be a last second acquisition.

Meanwhile Tucker Carlson just puts out a homophobic video that is somehow gayer than the entire run of the She Ra reboot.

Jujutsu Kaisen 21-24. That was a fun show, and another one I'm pretty sure Toonami wanted but got told "no". Now onto either Tokyo Revengers or Tiger and Bunny S2.

We are up to eight dead Russian generals and 34 dead Russian colonels - https://thehill.com/policy/international/3270780-another-russian-general-killed-amid-invasion-russian-official-says/

OK, after the auto show yesterday (a huge showcase for electric cars it seems this year, including a $2 million electric powered hypercar) I'm back for more Shenmue. And already Xiuyin looks like she's in an anime adaptation of a Shaw Bros. film. Where's my 36th Chamber of Shaolin anime? "Run away! Run away!" Ryo finally realizes how big a failure he is. Ouch. Yes Ryo, you stubborn ass, after realizing you're a failure, you still think you stand a chance against the woman who handed Dou Niu his ass. And the elbow. Yu Suzuki's kung fu style loved that pointed elbow strike (Akira uses the same blow in Virtua Fighter). It's a contrast from Muay Thai where the elbows are used as slashing and clubbing weapons, not straight on. You know it's funny, that the comparison in the anime is to Shaw Bros. and Golden Harvest Kung Fu movies, while at this point the game was essentially Rick Shaw's Takeout Theater (a bit from the old USA Night Flight block that was before my time where a comedian ragged on bad kung fu movies). Time to raid the big bad guy headquarters! Even if that does sound ridiculous on its head. "Yeah, I'm going to go inside, fight 40 guys including the fatass who's handed me my ass twice now, and bail with the old man. You make it sound like it's a really bad idea!" Any particular reason his dad's memory are grainy film stock? It's an interesting effect at least. They are doing the underground fighting tournament side quest! "You bet against me?!" "Dude, I saw you getting your ass kicked constantly the last few days! It seemed like a good idea!" And now Joy's origin comes into place. This couldn't say "TRAP" any louder if the door had a neon sign that said the word. Cliffhanger! And two episodes left to wrap up the plot of the second game. Shame that it's pretty certain we're not getting a season 2 thanks to the buyout and the Crunchyroll Originals line being mothballed.

Unfortunately I was indisposed this morning, going to a car show. I’ll give my usual commentary in the morning.

I have that special on DVD. Signed after I went to a comedy show he did back in the day. My two prevailing memories of him are that show I saw him live, and Mr. Mxyzptlyk.

My guess is they split the season because Shin Ultraman (Anno’s Ultraman movie) comes out next month and they want to cross promote.
