Time to reflect does that, thankfully. That and I do genuinely believe the current On Demand culture makes getting mad at a show dumb when there’s literally five or six other ones available.

I won’t lie, while I could care less about the anime getting a conclsuon since I know it’ll be junk, I genuinely want to see the LA film get a proper sequel. Mostly because it was clear that in simplyfying the story to such a degree (making it much smoother and less bloated) and getting rid of all the filler, they had the inadvertent effect of making the the film the beginning of a love story. A love story that doesn’t occur in the manga. Part of me wants to see if that leaner, faster Bleach creates a more satisfying conclusion than the manga, or if Kubo gonna Kubo and the end result is the same sloppy mess.

Can we all agree a 3 minute training montage is infinitely preferable to 3 filler episodes?

I think on this board Elfie and myself are the only ones watching SSSS Gridman, but that’s the most fun I’m having this season. Well that and Zombieland Saga, which won me over something fierce.

Odds on Netflix springing for celebrities?

Deku has just the one. Two depending on certain filler.

NEGATIVE INTEREST.

Even given DeMarco’s boner for the guy, you could do WAY WORSE than Watanabe.

So this is what, an anime version of The Revenant? Actually, don’t answer that. I have negative interest in seeing it. Ever.

There’s a reason I think he wants to dub the new Super Robot Wars. Apparently the animation is from the people doing the Netflix Ultraman.

It’s one of those shows that if you aren’t directly in front of it, you have no real feelings on it. Not to mention this was what, 2009, 2011? This was before pretty much EVERYTHING was On Demand. I mean these days, Kekkaishi on say, Hulu, is something you scroll past to watch Goblin Slayer, not a good chunk of the only anime premiering on US TV that week not selling children’s card games. Come to think of it, the reaction to Kekkaishi in a pre and post On Demand world is a rather fascinating microcosm of what choice does for the consumer and how it lets people ignore shows they otherwise would have to acknowledge.

Literally the only time people had feelings about it was when Adult Swim Action picked it up in its death throes, and everyone was trying to convince themselves it was a good idea. It was telling when Toonami started they began by airing all the stuff ASA didn’t pick up, like Soul Eater.

...It was a joke. Because he’s a Bebop fanboy? Speaking of, I can only wonder how old Ransla is taking this. Probably how Moose took the idea of LA One Piece on HBO.

Someone without a lot of original ideas. Bonus - This is the same company that is making the LA One Piece. Expect announcements on that soon.

When’s the last Rebuild? 2020 still?

It’s a pretty harsh take on the idol business and and how it affects people. It’s also damn funny.

SSSS Gridman 7. The dub Alexis went full Tim Curry this week.

Looks like DeMarco amended the list to include SAO and Gridman.

Expelled from Paradise.

Goblin Slayer 4. Some Devilman clips -

Yeah, but that was Batman with Z list villains, right after the success of Brave and the Bold. No one gave a crap about Magpie and Anarky when they wanted Catwoman and the Joker.

Hey I want SSSS Gridman on the block, so don’t ask me. It and Goblin Slayer are the only two shows I’m consistently following, well that and whatever antics are in Zombieland Saga this week. And who requested Part V of Lupin when Part IV was kind of a ratings flop? Yeah, I’m confused. I mean Slayer is obvious, it’s the most watched sub in every state, but the rest have me scratch my head.

Goblin Slayer is the only thing there that makes a lick of sense.

Fair enough, I just tend to categorize the news on that Toonami connection.
