Western funded anime and how it will affect Toonami going forward
Jman replied to Jman's topic in Toonami & [adult swim]
Bebop II would probably have the same audacity of the video game that changed the end of freaking Scarface. And yes that was a real thing. The game STARTS with Pachino blowing away the assassin that kills him in the movie. -
Sure if he wants to piss his money down the toilet.

I'll say this much - Given what apparently came out of the sizzle reel from CR, Toonami doesn't have to worry about a damn thing from them concerning originals. Of course, Toonami needs to give the world an original that’s not a sequel no one demanded. Please don’t make Cowboy Bebop II is all I’m saying. -
The Worst Thing About the New Season of SAO

...I don’t suppose this makes the Netflix version redundant, does it? Please say it does. They haven’t cast it. There’s hope. -
What Tv show are you Watching on Cable, Netflix, Hulu, etc?

Castle Rock 1-4. -
Didn’t watch Solo. There’s a time to let go and move on. That time is now.

Let’s be honest. This isn’t very good. -
Weird. This thread (and only this thread) set my Google alert off.
-
Slight geekout mode - There's a novel set before Episode IV that came out that reveals everyone knows Jar Jar helped Palpatine get power and led to the founding of the Empire, so he's persona non grata on Naboo, basically treated the same as a leper. He ends up working as a clown at a hospital for sick children, since they're the only ones that don't hate him. It's actually kind of poignant.
-
Lucas minimized Jar Jar’s presence and played up his annoyance in-universe which helped rehabilitate the character somewhat. The people behind Rose are doubling down.

From what I understand that’s the plan. Because everyone who disagrees is a Nazi. Unless she dies in the first five minutes I don’t care. I remember reading the damn Thrawn trilogy, being excited, but nope, don’t care. Won’t spend another cent on this franchise.
-
At least Jar Jar won his battle. Oh yeah, I went there. (And he is more tolerable in Clone Wars because everyone hating his guts is canon).
-
Full Metal Panic 16.
-
Can’t have that. There’s a rumor Episode 9 will involve a Rey/Kylo love child. Yeah...
-
Even by the director’s own admittance she didn’t belong in the film. She was an idiot who made Finn less likable by association, and I really liked Finn in the TFA. He certainly wasn’t the coward TLJ portrayed him as. When his friend was in danger, his first instinct was to grab a lightsaber and charge the Sith Lord unsure if he could win. Here he needs Rose to act as a moral compass despite being completely unlikable and idiotic.
-
Everyone is an idiot, an unlikable asshole, or both. It’s why I’m not going to watch Episode 9. Also Rose Tico is basically Jar Jar.
-
Also, here's a trailer set to the 90's TV theme. This is definitely PS4's big first party release for fall. It even had an extended trailer during the first NFL game of the season. Good thing the game's good then, right?

Jman replied to Jman's topic in Toonami & [adult swim]
I don’t see how. It’s worth talking about the fact that more people are funding productions than before. Crunchyroll is late to the game, sure, but there’s other people doing it too. And that doesn’t count pseudo-anime/anime inspired work like Powerhouse studios productions of Castlevania (which went over well enough to get a second season) and the upcoming Seis Manos. -

I elaborated on that. It’s not so much that it’s the studio is exclusive, it’s that demand for the animu has increased by leaps and bounds thanks to all these services which means waiting periods. -

It reduces openings. Even if it’s a non-exclusive contract, the fact is the industry is operating at capacity. -
Sort of a spiritual successor to Metalocalypse after Lazzo screwed him over on it.
