Depends if FUNi wants to sit on the license or if they’re needled by the Japanese company into negotiating a peaceful transfer of the rights to save face with the licensor. Sentai would probably be all over it now.

I expect a lot of pundits to bitch about FUNi bending the knee.

Just don’t cast Anna Diop or anyone like that as Nami. That’s Step 1.

Oda has confirmed a 10 episode season for Netflix. No word on a cast yet. Be very afraid.

The guy who plays Rock Lock in the MHA dub got Powerhouse Animation (Castlevania, Seis Manos) to do his proof of concept for a super robot series called Star Child.

Here’s the full commercial.

At least they confirmed why Bleach got pulled. Kubo himself pulled the plug because they were going to change too much. To be fair, that Japanese movie wasn’t too bad. Naruto IIRC got optioned and nothing came of it.

These series (And movies) get optioned and never made. Remember back in the 90’s Alicia Silverstone was attached to a live action Sailor Moon and an executive actually optioned a live action Ranma 1/2.

Fire Force 24 (Final for now). Orphen 1.

https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2020-01-26/steins-gate-game-gets-hollywood-live-action-show/.155796 Considering they also claimed to be working on a live action Sword Art Online that got as far as its rights being sold to Netflix before going silent...

This was such a divided thing back then. It was TV-14 (that’s good!) but live action (that’s bad). Still, the Faithful got to see Jack Nicholson at the museum so it’s worth it.

Fire Force 23 Obsolete 1-2 Saint Seiya 10 Netflix Saint Seiya 7-8 (Unusual I know).

So...nothing new. You know, Crunchyroll’s co-productions are right there. There is nothing stopping you from going to them and asking for the rights to a show like you did for gen:Lock.

Here I thought the PPV was going to hurt it more. The huge demand is pretty obvious, but I guess the lack of college football helped.

Here’s a preview. The rest of Adult Swim meanwhile...exists.

Well it’s competing with a Conor McGregor fight, so the ratings oughta be interesting.

Ah. Well, you can see why it threw me off when you’re showing genuine LBGTQ+ characters. Where were we? Oh yeah, SAO’s Toonami’s Fire Emblem. It shows up and BOOOOOOOO. At least it appears the LA one isn’t happening.

You were doing fine until you listed Ash. That one just made me go...no.

Oda likes three things - Weird body proportions, big boobs, and wacky faces.

Oh Tumblr, assuming everyone is gay and losing your minds when they aren’t.

And of course their big reveal is a...questionable reboot of SBTB. Because Zack Morris is Trash.

I would love to poll a random theatre of people going to see MHA Rising next month and ask how many of them watch the show on Toonami. I would bet it would be between 1/4 - 1/5 of the theatre.

I could rant for hours about the issues with nepotism and insular industries, but you see it in the fact that everything looks the same unless you outsource to Japan, Dungeons and Dragons jokes that no one in the age demo gets because the writers all play it while no one else does, and what is often framed online as veiled threats saying “don’t make fun of our show or you will NEVER get a job in animation.” And yeah, hindsight is 20/20 and all because 2011 Cats was getting ripped into for its unlikable cast and non-ending. But people saw this serious show that didn’t get an ending replaced with the overdone Western bean mouth shows which all use the same jokes, have the same people defending it, and then they wonder why everyone is so mean. It’s gotten to the point where the Teen Titans Go people are going to make an episode entirely about defending Roar from fans of the original and the 2011 remake. https://heroichollywood.com/teen-titans-go-roasts-thundercats/ When Netflix released its top 10 lists for most viewed shows, absolutely none of the CalArts remakes or Avatar clones made it in any category. No She-Ra, no Dragon Prince, (but Boss Baby made it, so yeah), etc. Meanwhile the Colossal Titan mural still greets people leaving Penn Station and Madison Square Garden two months after Anime NYC. This era of cheap western parodies is coming to an end, and I feel like Thundercats Roar will be the tail end of the trend. Especially with WarnerMedia now clamping down on their purse strings and Netflix essentially being All Hands on Deck for their originals.

Most of the anime that hit theatres was the crowd pleasing kind like Promare. So I kind of get it. I haven’t seen any of the short films for animation, so let’s fix that.
