Ultraman Season 2 2-6. That was fun, if a bit too short. A season 3 definitely needs to happen.

The Sentai lineup is admittedly not the thickest one, but there’s gotta be something dubbed on there. This is the admitted problem with your competitors just throwing money at studios. “Make a movie! Make an Ultraman show! Etc.”

That is insanity. I know Putin has sacked pretty much everyone with half a brain there, but a nuclear strike? He would start World War III. Then there’s China, who at that point would sever all ties just to avoid the crossfire. Not even Nixon at the height of his influence and paranoia could convince his cabinet to launch a tactical nuclear strike in Vietnam (he apparently proposed it but was quickly shot down by Henry Kissinger).

More shows need dance endings. I despise “text over black screens.” Imagine if you had Better Call Saul episodes end with random clips and Gus and Mike just randomly busting a move. Series remains fun even if the CG isn’t perfect. The action is great though.

Jujutsu Kaisen 11-24. Ultraman Season 2 episode 1.

That it was the VLD version and the proposal seems to be promising it will be based on the 80s version. I have an admitted hate-on for anything from VLD at this point because of just how bad a show it was and how bad its fans were, but considering how massively unpopular the show was with not only casual viewers but also the licensor of Voltron (who said, and I quote when Dreamworks let the license expire "didn't get Voltron") I'm looking forward to a giant robot movie from the guy who did Dodgeball, no Shiro, and making the franchise fun again.

Legendary funny man and cartoon voice, husband, brother, and father. RIP.

I could rant and rave all day, but I was waiting for the bidding to be finalized before doing so. It will be based on the 80s version thankfully, so the ugly ass Allura design and Shiro are (legally) not going to be in it.

IIRC that’s a Japanese thing. Broadcast versions of JoJo for instance censor cigarettes while the Netflix version leaves them untouched.

Beat me to it. Yeah, things are about to go south economically for Russia very quickly.

https://variety.com/2022/tv/news/discovery-warnermedia-merger-close-warner-bros-discovery-1235200983/ How this will affect the networks is anyone's guess, but Discovery Plus stuff is coming to HBO Max soon, so...there's that.

Oh good, another Chinese village cold open. You keep adding these damn things and people WILL assume a Season 2 is coming because she has no real impact until the third game. Ryo really needs better pockets. He keeps dropping stuff critical to the plot. Fun fact, the restructuring of Hong Kong means Kowloon no longer exists. Great, shady dudes in black suits. This really is proto Yakuza. “That sucked!” King of understatements right there. The guard seriously fell for that. And now we have the classic “two people handcuffed together” scenario. Dou Nou being gay is definitely more overt than it was in the game. The other guy meanwhile is so flaming you could light a cigarette off of him. That’s another sub quest. Yeah, just fast forward through this part. Ryo…you can’t punch an entire Triad. Kiryu could, but this isn’t Yakuza. At least Ren does some detective work. I really do admire how this show compresses a long play that would go for at least a week into a 13 episode series. The mechanics are there but it’s all streamlined. Cliffhanger! What happens when the irresistible force meets the immovable object?

Something tells me this guy will be tougher than the average Yellow Turban thug.

Considering the movie and the Hathaway trilogy, Netflix scoring Witch from Mercury makes sense. It really is a shame that Steve Blum was squeamish about doing a “Fuck Netflix Bebop” ad campaign. They should have went all in on that. Just post Tweets and videos from the idiot writers, the dumb fuck self appointed political correctness censor, and the moron who played Faye and I hope her career is so dead she can’t get a job at children’s birthday parties. For better or for worse, every failure must be called out, or even a perceived failure. (I call this the Fox News approach).

One of these rainy weekends I’m just going to boot up HIDIVE and watch all the recent Lupin series, the Italian Job, Parts 5 and 6, etc. Also this is yet another Toonami show from HIDIVE. So, when’s Redo of Healer? Or Golgo 13?

Well Shenmue did well enough, but then again Shenmue seems to be exceeding everyone’s expectations (it’s a video game adaptation of a notoriously cult game series AND a Crunchyroll Original, yet it’s quite good). Nothing else was competing with the Final Four and Stone Cold.

It was a rough week competition wise, between the Final Four AND Night 1 of Wrestlemania.

So…Redo of Healer on Toonami when?

You promise X-Men, people expect X-Men.

Attack on Titan the Final Season The Last One Forever and Ever (For Real This Time) (We Fucking Mean It).

https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2022-04-03/the-hollywood-reporter-hollywood-studios-shop-for-live-action-voltron-project/.184306 I really want to see the pitch reel this guy submitted to start a bidding war. Probably promising up and down it will have nothing to do with the Netflix disaster.

Final Final Season? Final Mix featuring Dante from the Devil May Cry series?
