  1. They’re going for more subdued in this first trailer. I get it completely.
  2. The 80’s are the go to nostalgia decade. Even the mall gives off Stranger Things vibes.
  3. Haven’t heard MC Chris in years...
  4. Black Clover got pretty popular. That was proof we’re not on the button of the casual viewer. Meanwhile, at DeMarco’s house...
  5. I’m sure the fact that WarnerMedia is going to make them part of HBO Max means they’re in trouble, not that they’re probably going to invest even more in them.
  6. On a similar note, last night’s South Park was about a diehard supporter of basic cable who hates streaming services and that no one gathers around a schedule anymore. Basically DeMarco.
  7. The good news is that Joshua/Ruiz II will be in the afternoon thanks to Saudi money. That being said, the evening UFC is a free card on regular ESPN (meaning most bars and restaurants with TV will show it) with a heavyweight main event. That’s gonna do some damage.
  8. Only about the hypothetical Getter Robo (which I want someone to make, especially with Devolution out on stands). https://www.inverse.com/article/60971-dragon-prince-aaron-ehasz-controversy
  9. In their defense The Origin is literally airing EVERYWHERE ELSE but without a new non-Build Fighters series there’s a distinct lack of mecha via outlets Toonami can actually get. They can’t do what Netflix does and go “Hey, Dragon Prince’s creator is a sexist. Take his money and make a new Getter Robo.”
  10. The writer apparently confirmed it in a Q&A after the premiere.
  11. I’ll say that if Hazbin feels way too Tumblriffic for any normal audience to get invested in (see also: Tuca and Bertie, Voltron Legendary Defender, She-Ra) then Helluva Boss feels like that concept after a round of executive notes to make a more palatable product for the masses that watch Big Mouth and Seven Deadly Sins. It has Zim’s VA, the humor is decidedly cruder, the one song is an ad jingle that’s a joke both in and out of universe, and it’s shorter (and therefore likely cheaper). Interestingly, Helluva Boss also has its main relationship being a man and a woman who are both co-workers, while the Hazbin notes have the princess being a bisexual in a relationship with her female assistant. Helluva Boss probably has more of a chance to actually get greenlit. A slim chance, but it’s better than a guaranteed spot in Korgoth hell which is where Hazbin is destined to end up.
  12. Nice. Edit - New producer Jennifer Yuh Nelson. Hoo boy. The whole thing is supposed to be Heavy Metal reboot but it looks like the complainers might tone it down.
  13. Weird as all hill to die on (keep in mind every late night talk show host in the country was making fun of it) but Adult Swim is your only source for Rick and Morty...besides On Demand. It was easier to rile people up when they had a monopoly on most ways to legally watch Family Guy and anime.
  14. For reasons that baffle me, no version of the original series is available for streaming, not even the movie trilogy, and no one wants to adapt the actual Origin manga which is a remake of the original series. My only guess is that the live action movie, if it ever gets made, will be an adaptation of The Origin, meaning...probably Tom Holland as Amuro.
  15. Honestly depends on if the new president is willing to use the new resources available from the restructuring, or is content to air nothing but Teen Titans Go all day, along with a once a month batch of Steven Universe episodes like Miller mostly did.
  16. Levius 1-5.
  17. https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2019-11-28/cartoon-network-adult-swim-boomerang-president-christina-miller-steps-down/.153776 More mass reorganization in the wake of HBO MAX’s launch.
  18. Meanwhile Al Roker was on all the cocaine.
  19. Fathom releases are always a pain in the ass. They’re either on Tuesdays or Thursdays during a work week. How about a Sunday matinee?
  20. Damn you Hallmark holiday movies. They are the shounen of the holidays.
  21. I guess when one pilot doesn’t get any attention from networks you try another only go wackier and cruder. This is Helluva Boss, which apparently takes place in the same universe as Hazbin.
  22. Disney has no need to buy anime, and the original article was an unsourced rumor. We can chalk this one up for the BS pile.
  23. http://www.asahi.com/ajw/articles/AJ201911230013.html Summer 2020 is the release timeframe.
  24. Record of Grancrest War 7-8. All the medieval politics of that shitty Dragon Prince show except adult and made by the guy who did Record of Lodoss War instead of some jackass who makes a toxic environment.
  25. https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2019-11-23/hulu-to-stream-1st-season-of-gintama-anime-with-english-subtitles-english-dub-on-december-1/.153602 People must have really liked their explanation of filler -
