Just for fun, the original Toonami promo for the DCAU Superman. Maybe that’s what this show is missing. Peter Cullen to make it sound cool.

Beef short ribs with a pesto tomato sauce, mashed potatoes, and a pancetta/mushroom topping. With some baby tomatoes on the side.

Might be why Alicia Silverstone was pegged to play Usagi in a movie at one point a bit after Clueless came out, but it never got off the ground.

Hajime no Ippo 1-2. It’s apparently been doing really well for Netflix internationally. My hope is if it does well enough they make more of it. Plenty of manga to adapt. Maybe too much. Delicious In Dungeon 19.

It’s weird remembering everyone’s favorite dumpling head essentially started with the same powers as freaking Black Canary. As easy as it is to rag on this show due to the old dub, the concept, etc, it still has a very bizarre charisma and undeniable charm. At this point early on it almost feels like a parody of tokusatsu heroes like Kamen Rider and the Super Sentai teams. Instead of hot blooded guardians of justice, we have a lazy underachieving blonde teen who has exactly the thoughts a blonde teen in the 90s would have. And it’s endearing.

Warner promised more anime, didn’t they?

I know live-action anime is the new in thing, but Warrior Nun sucked. It’s not going to be a quarter as lively and horny as the anime was.

Garouden The Way of the Lone Wolf 6-8. Kaiju No 8 5.

New commercial.

Doug thought the OneyPlays guys making fun of him was hilarious and he has this “If you can’t laugh at yourself, who can you laugh at?” mentality that creatives find endearing. Linkara got visibly upset at the same kind of jokes and everyone’s been needling him since.

Maybe that old Cartoon Network pitch reel was onto something -

“Hi Doug!” Can you tell this was started by a Newgrounds animator?

Short rib ragu. I went to an Italian place to celebrate my mom’s birthday.

Well that and they’re casting Nico Robin this season, with a call for a Latina actress. Whoever gets cast is probably going to get it way worse than Emily Rudd did (if only because Nami’s first appearance didn’t have tits the size of her head).

The Atomic Skull is definitely one of those lesser used villains. He showed up in Superman vs The Elite and that was about it.

Semi-off topic, but Netflix released their viewing reports for the second half of 2023. https://about.netflix.com/en/news/what-we-watched-the-second-half-of-2023 And in a very dramatic reversal of the 2000s, anime kicked the shit out of Western adult animation.

Taco Thursday. Two chorizo, one steak with the veggies, gauc, and the green hot sauce.

https://about.netflix.com/en/news/what-we-watched-the-second-half-of-2023 No pressure for Season 2.
