Everything WB Announced So Far At Annecy
Jman replied to Mr. Idea Box's topic in Toonami & [adult swim]
Go Go sounds like an anime version of the old 13 Ghosts of Scooby Doo, but unfortunately with less Vincent Price. Was hoping to see some Get Jiro footage after having read both comics. -
2024 Presidential Elections: the schadenfreude commences
Jman replied to NewBluntsworth's topic in Current Events
https://www.newsweek.com/ohio-special-election-congress-results-1911576 Another special election swings blue, this time in Ohio because the GOP couldn’t act normal for five minutes. Only this one went 20 points towards a Democrat victory. It’s notable because while the GOP won the election, it was by a much lower margin in a state that Trump only won by 8 percentage points. If the GOP had just acted normal, got rid of the crazies, and ran on sensible borders and inflation control (such as passing the border bill instead of rejecting it so Trump could incoherently ramble about it), they would have probably been in a much better spot. Instead they’re running on fascist theocracy and trying not to hurt the fee fees of a convicted felon. -
This is the first DC project directly under the new Gunn regime. Apparently a full panel about the new show is happening Friday.

Even if arguably most Americans started caring about it last year. Still fun to see though,

Indiana judge rules tacos and burritos are Mexican style sandwiches

Well New York City for better or worse has a shitload of expats, hence the tacos places every other block. -
A Chronological Look at Adult Swim's Kids Shows
Jman replied to Mr. Idea Box's topic in Toonami & [adult swim]
To this day the fact that they were able to edit a show that boils down to “Space babes want to fuck a country bumpkin turned reluctant space samurai” and actually make it work is a small miracle. I hate censorship in all forms but that takes talent. -
A Chronological Look at Adult Swim's Kids Shows
Jman replied to Mr. Idea Box's topic in Toonami & [adult swim]
Does it count if the shows were more adult originally, but Toonami edited the hell out of them and refused to spend money on fixing it? Also, Invincible Fight Girl really feels like, if not the last straw, a new low. There's no nostalgia behind it, no use of a universal IP like Superman, no auteur creator, it's just some lame-ass kids show about a girl wrestling that feels like a lame Western answer to Kinnikuman, just in the time for the Perfect Origins arc to be on Netflix (not to mention all the other martial arts/underground fighting anime they have). -
It’s apparently from a pro shitposter. The court is doing its due diligence, but it does not appear to have affected anything. That tweet is from a straight MAGA troll shaming companies for supporting LBGTQ+ kids.

Netflix makes more CG Ultraman in conjunction with Industrial Light and Magic
Jman replied to Jman's topic in Anime & Manga
That is a bold, bold statement. -
Delicious in Dungeon 20. Hajime no Ippo 3-18. I have no idea what happened but I started watching this show in chunks while doing other stuff. I forgot how awesome it is, and I bought the damn Blu-Rays. Speaking of, hey, Netflix, get and dub New Challenger and Rising. You have those union studios at your beck and call, you could dub it and probably get Richard Epcar back to play Kamogawa. That or get some rando celebrity to play him.

Also, you notice how over the last ten years, shows that have pro wrestling in them seem to be really focused on the kids set? Boxing and MMA have that teen/adult demo down so when a show has pro wrestling as a theme, you’re thinking “this is definitely for the kids.” All the Jon Moxley death matches in the world can’t seem to change that perception, especially with Netflix having a metric ton of underground MMA and fighting anime. Any way you slice it, this is a bad fit for the block.

We have confirmation Adult Swim is being all but ordered to air kids show Invincible Fight Girl, so mark that down for Q4. Meanwhile Scavengers Reign is on Netflix, and this is happening to it. Of all the cartoons to premiere on the same day in the US, it had to be Hajime no Ippo.
