  1. This certainly took a turn. And now back to forgetting this exists like the rest of the world.
  2. Yeah, there were some embers of social interaction, an empty arena UFC, and the like. This week there won’t even be that much.
  3. Burn the Witch is also getting an ongoing manga.
  4. I suppose it’s Toonami bound. From what I understand, the final arc ended with a wet fart, so let’s see if the anime tries to expand upon it. Also Kubo’s one shot manga spinoff, Burn the Witch, is getting an OVA.
  5. The fatality rate is primarily among the elderly and immunocompromized. Yeah, if the rate is slowed and treatments come in, rather than a rush of new cases all at once, it will be the same as any other disease. The problem is the initial curve, which as everyone knows, can be very severe.
  6. https://comicbook.com/anime/2020/03/16/netflix-to-stream-one-piece-anime-in-the-u-s-/ Let’s see if third time is a charm.
  7. Gundam Narrative.
  8. Most voice actors distance themselves from drama like this. It’s the writers that are vindictive little pussies who need ass pats to function. Fuck, this is why the comic book industry is in Goddamn free fall.
  9. A lot of domestic animators have switched to remote working for the time being, so we’ll see.
  10. To quote Jim Cornette, these people are pussies that need their pussies powdered!
  11. Western cartoon writers remain the most butthurt, pussyish, sad sack thin skinned egomaniacs in any field I’ve ever seen, and that includes law and politics with a few exceptions.
  12. Well if Netflix isn’t going to remake Rayearth someone might as well get the original.
  13. Subbed and dubbed.

  14. MHA Season 3 4-10. All for One needs a better threat. “I am here” vs "I AM THE ROCKS OF THE ETERNAL SHORE; CRASH AGAINST ME AND BE BROKEN!"
  15. MHA Season 3 1-4.
  16. Western comics have become such a convoluted embarrassing disaster that rumors spark up every now and then of Disney and WB saying “fuck it” and killing the comic producers. It cannot be overstated how popular X-Men was, and how Marvel pissed all that goodwill down the toilet because Fox had the movie rights. In another universe, this is airing on Toonami - Until a reckoning occurs in how Western comics are fundamentally consumed (aka no one is going to pay $5 for 22 pages tied to a hilariously convoluted ongoing universe) people will continue to go to manga like My Hero Academia for the stories X-Men, New Mutants, etc used to provide to kids who would spend a buck-$1.25 on them coming home from school when they got a drink from the 7-11.
  17. Gail Simone is a...mostly well respected writer even if people view a lot of her habits as why people left comics, but she has a pretty long list of stuff here. Given my own comparisons of MHA and X-Men I thought her argument was worth reading - Her points boil down to the following - 1. X-Men stuff dwarfed sales of everything else back in the 80’s and 90’s, making it the big Shounen of those time periods. Complete with animated adaptation! 2. Many of the traits of classic X-Men runs are found in shounen manga. 3. Marvel de-emphasizing the mutants after the rights were sold to Fox for movies and the comics spiraling into irrelevance led to people picking up manga to replace the X-shaped hole in their reading. 4. Numerous MHA characters could be X-Men characters with little to no changes. She does encourage people to look at the current X-Men runs, which...
  18. MHA Season 3 Episode 1 - Bakugou wants to be Wolverine so bad it’s hilarious.
  19. Previously...on X-Men, erm, My Hero Academia.
  20. The first episode is on Crunchyroll. Surprise! It’s as incomprehensible and obtuse as ever. https://www.crunchyroll.com/tenchi-muyo-ryo-ohki/episode-1-step-mother-step-sister-inheritance-and-794214 Also it apparently takes place in 1996.
  21. The show even comic book creators admit has replaced X-Men is back in its weird Toonami timeslot. But will Deku ever be “blowing up Krakoa the Living Island” cool?
  22. My Hero Academia Season 2. Yeah, I spent the last few days watching the second season.
  23. It’s not the main source anymore. BTW, film has pulled down $10 million, so saying the show is unpopular is lies.
  24. Film has cleared the $10 million mark, which is really good for a limited release, so FUNi is bragging. https://www.funimation.com/blog/2020/03/04/my-hero-academia-heroes-rising-box-office-smash-10-million-north-america/?utm_source=social&utm_medium=org-social&utm_campaign=my-hero-academia&utm_content=heroes-rising-box-office-news&utm_term=
