Season 8 hits next year.

You ever get the urge to exercise randomly? You see a pull up bar? You want to climb on it. You see weights, you want to lift them. You’re in line at NYCC waiting for the room to open, you bang out push ups. Just me?

We can add Silverhawks to the list -

No more guilt buying filler discs.

$5 says this special is introduced by AEW wrestlers. I’m also pretty convinced I’d be on a normal level of dislike for this show rather than full bore chugging Hatorade if I hadn’t watched the new Kinnikuman arc during the summer.

I feel like for better or for worse that show ran on “Do the opposite of Snyder” and got a fanbase off of that. But that got a Thursday release. For better or for worse, it was also Superman, probably one of the most recognizable fictional characters in the entire world.

I'm admittedly annoyed by the series, but I think it's because it falls into so many of the checkboxes of modern pseudo-anime from the West that it's getting obnoxious. Pseudo-anime in general seems to be losing popularity among casual viewers depending on the art style, with the Kong show from Powerhouse falling flat on its face and Tomb Raider on Netflix failing to make the Top 10 opposite DanDaDan, which did despite being a weekly release. I'd probably be less annoyed if it weren't on Adult Swim. Still, people are looking for the real thing.

Not that the franchise is going on a full break. Season 2 of the Netflix adaptation is in full production swing, and a new OVA was announced as well.

Someone who thought Kinnikuman was problematic, or was mad Tiger Mask W starred a guy. You know, slop.

I don’t think I was posting it constantly, I just thought it was interesting to compare the two big originals for the competing services and the reactions. I also fully admit to fascination with anime that reaches the Netflix top 10 because it means a lot of people outside the usual sphere are watching it. Uzumaki did the same on Max, which created similar fascination.

Enter the Matrix.

The DanDaDan comparison seems to be what lit the fire, wasn’t it?

DanDaDan 2. This show is going to be the big thing this season.

Oh this oughta be fun. Let’s see if it gets views or makes people wish it was DanDaDan (which is keeping its positive vibes two episodes in, and hit the Netflix top 10 this week at #6).

The new issue has done nothing to dissuade me from the idea that a serious Space Ghost cartoon with the right crew would actually kind of rock.

This is one of the crossovers of all time, but I like Transformers so I’m biased.

The Edwardian lavish dinners like the famous nine course meal of the Titanic are basically just the Patton Oswalt Black Angus skit, just with fancier clothes and surroundings. “On the RMS Titanic, your name is Peaches!”

Happy birthday Poke.

My prediction is going to be a simple one for the new year. If the LOTR movie bombs, DeMarco’s ass will be fired before the end of Q1 2025. But that may not be the end of Toonami as the branding still has value for the leftover action shows.

This guy is an animator on One Piece and Boruto. He would know.

“Lord of the Rings content we made up” is a hard enough sell after ROP’s fanfic, add in it being animated with a Girlboss main character Tolkien didn’t even bother to name in his appendices she was so unimportant has me thinking this will flop hard. Maybe not Joker 2: Own the Incels hard, but hard enough to have DeMarco out the door before the end of January.

I didn't see his name in the production credits, which is probably good because I imagine that would be yet another L on his rapidly reddening ledger. It was a show that was supposed to be all artsy and fancy, got canceled, got sent to Netflix to drum up support where it got its face beaten in by Hajime no Ippo, and to close out the failure, couldn't win the Emmy opposite Blue Eye Samurai.

This is why I’m convinced if War of Rorrhim bombs, Zaslav will fire him.
