DB Super: Broly. Tiger Mask W 18.

We got a bunch of PG animated films.

You would think a regular (non art house) theatre showing DBZ would only do average. It’s been recording a string of sellouts by me. Crazy.

Saw the Hulu one where they interview the douchebag who ran Fyre. Not the Netflix one yet, plan to do that after the UFC tonight. Fascinating story, highly recommend you watch one of them.

Broly pulled down $5 million opening day. https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2019-01-17/dragon-ball-super-broly-film-earns-estimated-usd7-million-on-u.s-opening-day/.142172

Yeah because the local theatre (not one of those one night only Fathom events productions) was advertising it same as any other movie.

It’s just a one day thing? That’s...dumb. I was honestly hoping to watch it over the weekend.

Not a sequel to that film some blame for the 2016 election results.

DeMarco hasn’t gotten Fairy Tail in all this time, why do it now?

So this show got a second season debuting February.

Tiger Mask W 17 Magic Knight Rayearth 3 Goblin Slayer 1-10.

If they’re gonna go that route air Goblin Slayer, new SAO and Shield Hero one after the other. Do what TBS did to scare away the complainers -

They don’t appear to be wrong. As much as we rag on the choices, the placements are often doing the best with bad hands.

Magic Knight Rayearth 2

I always figured the joke was that the one-dimensional “badass” is exactly as antisocial and ignorant of social cues as you would think he is. Which is why everyone thinks he’s a damn weirdo. Look at me. I’m defending Shield Hero because the dub got delayed and people are furious at the idea it might mean censorship when I think isekai are beyond played out (literally the only isekai I want to see at this point is a Rayearth remake and that’s because that show is CLAMP literally throwing everything at the wall to make “Anime: The Anime”), because the alternative is letting assholes determine what’s “problematic.”

This got dark.

No wonder Adult Swim gave up after 26.

Odds are I wouldn’t have cared about Shield Hero had the moral guardians not bitched about it being problematic. At least Goblin Slayer has all those Doom memes draw me in. And what I got was fairly enjoyable.

Moral guardians should be strung up in the town square and pelted with tomatoes.

Apparently they look for the stuff the staff bitches about, then IMMEDIATELY go watch it.

It happens every season since a few of those people got ANN staff positions. There’s a show that’s “gross” and “problematic” and they rant about why people shouldn’t watch it. Like Goblin Slayer. How did that work out?

Not too much this season besides Mob Psycho it seems. Everyone’s losing their minds over Shield Hero, but it’s just anothe isekai. As someone else said, do we really need more of those? Other than Magic Knight Rayearth getting a remake (because it has all the shit Netflix loves in a blender), do we?

Magic Knight Rayearth 1 Or “CLAMP tries their hands at mixing everything in a blender, isekai, magical girls, giant robots and I seriously wonder if Netflix isn’t gonna try to remake it.”
