  1. The visor looks less...bleh than those normal soulless eyes, but I don’t get the people who collect these things. At least the Nendoroids look cute.
  2. It’s a decent space Western/Samurai story that cribs a few notes from Lone Wolf and Cub. But dammit, the baby is adorable.
  3. I cannot wait for Crunchyroll to air this while people still wonder about where High Guardian Spice is. No, seriously, this is right up their alley. And you all thought the internet was mad about Goblin Slayer and Shield Hero.
  4. For all our quirks and stereotypes, I do like to think we’re all a lot more mature than the kids that first used the ASMB. We grew up, graduated, got jobs, experienced triumphs and tragedies, realized how dumb the internet tough guy act was, and we mellowed out. There should be some separation, no separation at all doomed the old ASMB, but Anime and Toonami should be fine together.
  5. Remember when ASA started and the only advertiser they had was chewing gum?
  6. There’s still another part of the Ashita No Joe manga to update.
  7. Lazzo is both the best and worst President AS has ever made by virtue of being the only president it’s ever had. We have no idea what any successor will want to do, or how their policies will be affected by the mergers. Taking a wait and see approach.
  8. I figured after Son Chatwin lost tons of money at the box office and ruined the career of its lead, no one would be dumb enough to try this again. But I don’t think this will get released either. Promising an all Asian cast feels like the equivalent of going “it’ll get done...eventually.” More importantly, with DB being a fairly brutal satire of Journey to the West, you know who probably won’t be down with it? China. Also this website is notoriously unreliable for rumors.
  9. Embedded trailer with guaranteed less children’s nightmares!
  10. Netflix tends to get comedy toons from people who have paid their dues in the industry. Bill Burr, John Mulaney, etc, all guys who paid their dues and made connections in the stand up world. Their stuff also tends to be a lot cheaper by virtue of being ugly as hell. If, hypothetically she was to bring this to Netflix, they would want one of two things - A reduced budget from the pilot and a comedian who’s done stand up for Netflix to be a major voice. I don’t know how willing she will be to agree to those terms given everything I’ve heard about her.
  11. Because she thinks she’s sitting on something that is worth it. I have been Pooh-poohing her work a lot, but I actually saw potential in this. Now you’re this creator, and you see all this shit on Netflix and on TV. You see Big Mouth get a damn 3 season renewal with a spin-off. And you know in your heart of hearts you can make something better. And it got 7 million views on YouTube! NWA Power barely gets 100,000! You’re damn right that you would seek any avenue to make it a full series even if it’s a fools errand. To be this close, why turn back now?
  12. Update video says she wants to make a full series out of her pilot. That would involve crowdfunding (LOLNO) or the dreaded trying to get the show greenlit (and she apparently has a very bad reputation in professional circles so that’s out) so she’s fucked. To add to the cluster, she apparently wants to launch a spinoff called Helluva Boss for double the non-greenlighting.
  13. Seriously, if you’re into boxing, go watch Naoya Inoue vs Nonito Donaire. Here are the highlights - Naturally what do they follow it up with? Two 0-0 Youtubers, including the guy who took a video with a corpse. Thanks DAZN.
  14. Kengan Ashura 14-16.
  15. This is a joke topic...but they could get it for free through Crunchyroll. It’s super popular! Literally nothing would stop them from airing it and introducing a new audience to the show ala gen:Lock, except this was successful before the airing. (Let’s face it, gen:Lock got pushed over the hill by Toonami, which shows the old girl still has value).
  16. https://www.cbr.com/avatar-last-airbender-aaron-ehasz-accused-misogynistic-behavior/ Someone’s not getting a Season 4.
  17. Kengan Ashura 13.
  18. Calm down Elfie. Someone on another forum pointed out the reality subtext to the story. A naive, optimistic woman wants to do something outside the accepted system and is completely ridiculed for it, with even her benefactor saying there’s no way it will work. Now we have we a naive, optimistic creator wanting to make a show with all her naysayers ridiculing her for it, pointing out the legions of drama around her, with everyone saying there’s no way it will work. Everyone wants a piece of that streaming pie, but the fact is budgets are tight and unless you have someone to vouch for you, you probably won’t get to series. Hell, even Tim and Eric’s big “in” at Turner was “Hey, Bob Odenkirk vouches for these guys!” and that was BEFORE Breaking Bad.
  19. You nailed it when you mentioned the money. It’s Korgoth. Member Korgoth? Member how everyone liked it but it never aired? It never aired because the budget would have been equivalent to 1/3 of the entire Adult Swim budget, and that was with Aaron Springer on board, (Spongebob’s head storyboarder and one of the key writers) and Genndy Tartovoskty as a timing director. This project began crowdfunding in 2014. It will probably need another year to gather funds, and then probably a year at most to come up with another final product (At least initially character designs are done so that’s less of an issue). So the only way to get a consistent product is have a network pick it up. And while S&P isn’t a big deal for on demand channels, Netflix is gonna take one look at this, at the budget, at the songs, and ask one simple question - “Uh yeah, why would we spend all this money on this show when we can get three seasons of an adult cartoon from a popular comedian with connections at Hollywood instead? You’re not Bill Burr, you’re not John Mulaney, you’re some weirdo Tumblr spawn that gets into arguments with furries on Twitter. And we have better things to spend our money on. Unless you can slash the budget by 40% and are willing to cede creative control to our executives, we’re going to pass.”
  20. Think of how many confused people saw this while heading to the Masvidal/Diaz fight.
  21. Fresh from Patreon and looking for someone to option the series is a show about a princess in hell trying to rehabilitate demons and being mocked as a complete idiot. Oh, and there’s singing because that’s popular (no it isn’t). The animation is beautiful but there’s about 10 reasons I can think of no one will ever option this to series. Give it a watch and tell me if you agree or disagree.
  22. They keep getting new JoJo seasons to keep them off Netflix. Of course they’re gonna renew DB.
  23. Prime Video at this point is just a bonus for people who want free shipping on Amazon stuff. And I admittedly expect Apple TV to throw their lot in with another company for a 1-2, because they can’t succeed on their own.
