Oh my God, DeMarco you complete hardheaded idiot. On one hand, I admire the sheer chutzpah of the man to air a show that bombed on Adult Swim Action to the point it signaled the beginning of that block’s downturn. “You will enjoy your anime equivalent of vegetables and you will like it!” You could not get anything else? On the other hand, Satoshi Kon is no longer with us, is he? It’s an unusual circumstance, but he’s a figure worth remembering.

Fair enough. But whenever I think of SAO tackling AIDS, that clip will come to mind.

They aired Unicorn, if they weren’t so restrictive about movies I would air Narrative.

My Hero Academia Two Heroes.

Fairy Dance always reminds me of that one clip from Walker Texas Ranger Conan O Brien made fun of.

Well, ESPN stepped in and cancelled it. Guess the money for live events didn’t outweigh the PR disaster.

Earlier in the week the entire dub was finished for the 85 series. Third time is the charm.

I’ve heard rumors department heads are pushing back on AT&T’s attempts to restructure, so maybe DeMarco not wanting Crunchyroll stuff is an attempt to avoid CR taking his power and influence in the WarnerMedia sphere.

The term problematic was already dying on the vine, the resulting shift to comfort entertainment will probably kill it altogether.

This is incredibly short notice and there’s no telling what their budget is tied up in.

Maybe DeMarco finally caved and got an isekai.

Budget I would gather.

I was hoping they could scrounge up older shows to close the proverbial gap but I suppose that’s not an option.

Dana White is buying a private island to ensure UFC 249 goes ahead as planned.

The musical episode made me give up on Dandy. It was cringe, top to bottom. The school festival thing HAS to be an editorial mandate. Especially since there are so many more clever things you can do with an internet streaming villain with a lot of money and taste. Like Arcade for instance. You don’t think Gentle trapping 1-A in Japanese Murderworld wouldn’t be fun?

I said it in another thread (got caught up while quarantined) but the whole school festival thing just feels weird after doing their version of “The Cure” from X-Men. It’d be like if next season we get a take on “God Loves, Man Kills”, followed by a super Japanese school activity.

I did find it interesting we got a very Japanese story following their version of “The cure” from X-Men, and then the Principal breaks the fourth wall to defend it happening instead of more X-stories. It’d be like if next season we get their version of “God Loves, Man Kills”, followed by a hot spring trip.

A fairly large amount of that can be done from home. Western animators (Powerhouse comes to mind) are still working. If this shit keeps up, expect a LOT of adult animated sitcoms come fall.

Everyone’s favorite not-mutants will be returning for another season. Here’s a fun little question, when the X-Men next hit theaters, how much do you want to bet someone slips in a joke about Quirks in it? https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2020-04-04/my-hero-academia-anime-gets-5th-season/.158250

They overpaid by $44 million... This is why Filmation went out of business.

This is the new normal. Between Netflix trying to upend the entire damn production committee system and original productions, Westerners want to make authentic anime, rather than the inauthentic imitators that were popular in the early 2000’s. And that means co-productions and hiring foreign talent, because Western writers for animation kind of suck at their jobs in a lot of places.

MHA Seasom 4 1-20. All caught up with the dub. Also holy whiplash. We went from “The Cure” from X-Men to that most Japanese of events, the school festival. Even one of the characters explains why they wanted to do a school festival after the hypocritical Yakuza.

Everyone missed it.
