Staking their claim on Season 2 before everyone runs to watch it on Netflix and Hulu when it inevitably hits.

Netflix is airing it? Obligatory -

They did, but I want more people to see it. Also new key visual -

Sure. http://comicbook.com/anime/2018/07/23/one-piece-live-action-anime-writer-update/ As part of an anniversary celebration/final attempt to make OP as big in the US as it is in Japan, Toei, in conjunction with ITV and the producer of Prison Break, is making a live action adaptation of One Piece they boast will be one of the most expensive shows ever. Three days ago they apparently hired a writer. If that wasn’t enough, Oda himself has veto power on the series, which pretty much dooms it.

You mean the fanfic of a 15 year old show wasn’t a good idea?

Flop Team Epic.

Yeah, and the follow up is kinda realistic about the results (Sakura is completely miserable, Naruto has a son that hates him), but...why would I want to watch a show about that? Hey, remember the characters you all liked? Watch as they become crushed by the responsibilities of daily life, terrible choices, and loveless marriages! As much as I rag on One Piece and it never ending, it doesn’t mess with those main aspects of the characters. One could argue they’re being dialed up way too high, but it beats the alternative.

No. It’s just...why? Let Naruto die. It had a good run. It did. But at this point just let it die.

The Berserk film trilogy, since it makes Berserk: Band of the Hawk make more sense. Space Battleship Yamato 2202 10.

I've met people who have read the manga, but that was years ago.

Why? The series really oughta have ended already.

This is far funnier in hindsight.

His announcement panel for whatever he was doing was cancelled.

And now James Gunn isn’t going to be doing anything for a long time.

She never said that, only that she had no issue with that interpretation. It also exposes the Klance shippers for the hypocrites they are.

Apparently this was suggested by one of the staff, Bex Taylor Klaus, the voice of Pidge. The same VA Keith and Lance shippers kept attacking. Monkeys paw any one? Klance is dead but there is legitimate representation. There’s also probably gonna be a Keith/Lance/Allura love triangle.

They wanted Sekirei and got Steven Universe.

I don’t want Power Rangers on prime time television either. I still enjoy it in its weird way, still find value in it. You can like something but not think it’s an ideal fit.

I’ve said before the show has a bizarre charisma that somehow appeals to men and women the same way Super Sentai and stuff like that does for me. That and these things are utterly fascinating. You don’t see this anymore in an era of simuldubs and scantlations.

https://kotaku.com/we-tried-to-uncover-the-long-lost-american-sailor-moon-1827695456 The lore of the internet has it that before DIC just dubbed the show, someone tried to adapt Sailor Moon’s concept with completely redone footage, live action bits straight out of Power Rangers, a multiethnic cast, and most notably, one of them in a wheelchair. Someone went looking for the pilot and this is what they found.

UgFire still looks like she belongs on The Deuce.

Yeah, I can agree with that. It’s this LA show that fascinates me because of what it could mean if it is successful, and how many ways it could go wrong.

...Are you OK? I’m pointing out that the show never became truly mainstream here and that the LA show is likely to flop, if it ever sees air. Just...calm down, I’m not insulting the fans, well, besides Moose anyway.

You know what I mean. Television airings. One Piece is like Asterix, where it’s popular everywhere but the US (and it’s total sales apparently are set to, if they haven’t already, pass Batman’s total comics sold ever) but that doesn’t mean a faithful LA version I’ll work.
