  1. The writer apparently confirmed it in a Q&A after the premiere.
  2. I’ll say that if Hazbin feels way too Tumblriffic for any normal audience to get invested in (see also: Tuca and Bertie, Voltron Legendary Defender, She-Ra) then Helluva Boss feels like that concept after a round of executive notes to make a more palatable product for the masses that watch Big Mouth and Seven Deadly Sins. It has Zim’s VA, the humor is decidedly cruder, the one song is an ad jingle that’s a joke both in and out of universe, and it’s shorter (and therefore likely cheaper). Interestingly, Helluva Boss also has its main relationship being a man and a woman who are both co-workers, while the Hazbin notes have the princess being a bisexual in a relationship with her female assistant. Helluva Boss probably has more of a chance to actually get greenlit. A slim chance, but it’s better than a guaranteed spot in Korgoth hell which is where Hazbin is destined to end up.
  3. Nice. Edit - New producer Jennifer Yuh Nelson. Hoo boy. The whole thing is supposed to be Heavy Metal reboot but it looks like the complainers might tone it down.
  4. Weird as all hill to die on (keep in mind every late night talk show host in the country was making fun of it) but Adult Swim is your only source for Rick and Morty...besides On Demand. It was easier to rile people up when they had a monopoly on most ways to legally watch Family Guy and anime.
  5. For reasons that baffle me, no version of the original series is available for streaming, not even the movie trilogy, and no one wants to adapt the actual Origin manga which is a remake of the original series. My only guess is that the live action movie, if it ever gets made, will be an adaptation of The Origin, meaning...probably Tom Holland as Amuro.
  6. Honestly depends on if the new president is willing to use the new resources available from the restructuring, or is content to air nothing but Teen Titans Go all day, along with a once a month batch of Steven Universe episodes like Miller mostly did.
  7. Levius 1-5.
  8. https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2019-11-28/cartoon-network-adult-swim-boomerang-president-christina-miller-steps-down/.153776 More mass reorganization in the wake of HBO MAX’s launch.
  9. Meanwhile Al Roker was on all the cocaine.
  10. Fathom releases are always a pain in the ass. They’re either on Tuesdays or Thursdays during a work week. How about a Sunday matinee?
  11. Damn you Hallmark holiday movies. They are the shounen of the holidays.
  12. I guess when one pilot doesn’t get any attention from networks you try another only go wackier and cruder. This is Helluva Boss, which apparently takes place in the same universe as Hazbin.
  13. Disney has no need to buy anime, and the original article was an unsourced rumor. We can chalk this one up for the BS pile.
  14. http://www.asahi.com/ajw/articles/AJ201911230013.html Summer 2020 is the release timeframe.
  15. Record of Grancrest War 7-8. All the medieval politics of that shitty Dragon Prince show except adult and made by the guy who did Record of Lodoss War instead of some jackass who makes a toxic environment.
  16. https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2019-11-23/hulu-to-stream-1st-season-of-gintama-anime-with-english-subtitles-english-dub-on-december-1/.153602 People must have really liked their explanation of filler -
  17. The visor looks less...bleh than those normal soulless eyes, but I don’t get the people who collect these things. At least the Nendoroids look cute.
  18. It’s a decent space Western/Samurai story that cribs a few notes from Lone Wolf and Cub. But dammit, the baby is adorable.
  19. I cannot wait for Crunchyroll to air this while people still wonder about where High Guardian Spice is. No, seriously, this is right up their alley. And you all thought the internet was mad about Goblin Slayer and Shield Hero.
  20. For all our quirks and stereotypes, I do like to think we’re all a lot more mature than the kids that first used the ASMB. We grew up, graduated, got jobs, experienced triumphs and tragedies, realized how dumb the internet tough guy act was, and we mellowed out. There should be some separation, no separation at all doomed the old ASMB, but Anime and Toonami should be fine together.
  21. Remember when ASA started and the only advertiser they had was chewing gum?
  22. There’s still another part of the Ashita No Joe manga to update.
  23. Lazzo is both the best and worst President AS has ever made by virtue of being the only president it’s ever had. We have no idea what any successor will want to do, or how their policies will be affected by the mergers. Taking a wait and see approach.
  24. I figured after Son Chatwin lost tons of money at the box office and ruined the career of its lead, no one would be dumb enough to try this again. But I don’t think this will get released either. Promising an all Asian cast feels like the equivalent of going “it’ll get done...eventually.” More importantly, with DB being a fairly brutal satire of Journey to the West, you know who probably won’t be down with it? China. Also this website is notoriously unreliable for rumors.
