  1. https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2020-10-22/netflix-announces-new-partnerships-with-naz-science-saru-mappa-studio-mir/.165506 Studio Mir sucks but everything else looks fun. It’s becoming more and more clear Netflix sees anime as a huge part of their value proposition as the streaming wars record their first major casualty in Quibi.
  2. Everyone has picked a side already, and early voting is shattering records. On top of it not being anime, they were preaching to the choir. So presumably most folks flipped over to the boxing match.
  3. It might be easier given the new executives, but when Brendon Small tried to do that with Metalocalypse, Mike Lazzo’s response was to give him the finger and refuse any financial offer for the rights as a “fuck you” to Small.
  4. Baseball playoffs and a cable TV unification boxing match against something Toonami’s viewers do not want to see. Was anyone surprised by this? Everyone is voting. Everyone gets it now. No one needs to be reminded, since odds are they already went to the polls or are waiting for said polls to open up.
  5. https://www.npr.org/2020/10/19/924214998/the-venture-bros-creators-on-the-show-s-legacy-its-fans-and-its-cancellation The show’s been around for decades as television has changed fundamentally. Here’s them looking back on its legacy.
  6. Lopez takes an unanimous decision and is now the undisputed lightweight champion. He did enough early and won the 12th round to beat Lomachenko.
  7. The rare boxing title unification on regular ESPN and not PPV. Just about to start.
  8. Good talent and less “LOL TRUMP” than Space Force (I hate the fucker, but I don’t need to be constantly reminded of him). Can Tim and John C Reilly succeed where Space Force was...Eh?
  9. Sure, I guess. The show is on every streaming service now and it’s not like anyone will be doing anything this Halloween. The Amazon Prime series is still a few years off I would gather.
  10. Well in this case I was going off the assumptions that he didn’t care for the show or the type of humor being presented given the complaints being made about said show,, therefore not watching it and letting it get cancelled was preferable. This is also why Primal is such a big deal, but Genndy has earned the trust of his viewers over decades.
  11. Welcome to Western adult animation since forever, which is why no one trusts Western attempts at adult action animation. It’s comedy straight out a Youtube poop or Tumblriffic “We have LBGTQ+ characters, you’re a bigot if you insult the show” like that abomination on SyFy. All you can do is not watch.
  12. A lot of Miroku’s negative qualities were offset by him actually being charming and him having a power that without the poison bees would have been OP as fuck. Mineta could work if he was secretly a genius and that’s why he’s kept around. If there was a filler episode where Expies of Billy Butcher and friends go after Mineta but he completely and utterly outsmarts them despite his lecherous nature and lame power. Something that makes you go “Oh, THAT’S why he hasn’t been expelled yet.”
  13. The Calamari Wrestler? Never thought I would hear that outside of Wrestling With Wregret.
  14. Filler arc at 12:00. Mineta vs knockoffs of The Boys that ends with him somehow defeating Not Butcher. You’d watch.
  15. https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2020/10/att-plans-thousands-of-layoffs-at-hbo-warner-bros-rest-of-warnermedia/ More layoffs, potentially in the thousands as WarnerMedia hacks to the bone to deal with their astronomical debt and COVID killing their businesses. No one went to Six Flags this year. The focus continues to remain on HBO Max as their be-all, end-all. Edit - Random downvotes won’t stop the truth Elfie. You want to get mad, get mad at AT&T.
  16. Well it wouldn’t be the first time DeMarco wasn’t in sync with his audience.
  17. Unfortunately it’s CG, but it’s Studio Orange, one of the few Japanese studios that do it correctly.
  18. The best part of Perfect Hair Forever was Space Ghost trying (and failing) to do a round table panel discussing it.
  19. IIRC he’s something of an Author Avatar, and I think that annoys people who think he doesn’t get a comeuppance.
  20. Is this another Adult Swim original trying to impede on Toonami? Ask Ballmasterz how well that went.

    Season 2 comes 2021 as father and daughter compete for Netflix anime superiority.
  22. It’s admittedly sort of weird separating the Legendary Godzilla that’s a big lizard Incredible Hulk (And admittedly the most heroic a Godzilla has been since the 90’s cartoon where they gave GINO his radioactive breath and made him a proper Godzilla) and the recent Japanese portrayals as enemy of all. Wonder which one they’ll go with here.
