Relatively. Now that it was a going concern, people probably flipped over. It can't really be undersold just how massive Demon Slayer was for Netflix given that globally its total seasons easily put it in the most watched programs on Netflix according to their own data. I think this is a simple case of "we can watch this elsewhere."

Because everyone who wanted to watch Demon Slayer probably has on Netflix. Lycoris meanwhile isn’t available outside of Crunchyroll.

Tacos with the guys over at a taqueria. Two pork, one chicken.

Chained Soldier 3 100 Girlfriends 3-4.

Looks like All Might is getting his own Eradicator, a fake who goes all in on killing.

Finished it up. A bit too short for my liking since they clearly want more He-Man OVA’s of sorts, but so much better than last time it’s not even funny. It’s just…this is what happens when you stop trying so hard and focus on what the people want. Still plenty of high stakes and big battles, but more characters and action people want.

Detroit has completely collapsed and Ninja Kamui will likely suck ass. It’s not like people are hating him blind here. DeMarco has had one critical and commercial success, and that was because it was based on a game with a very dedicated audience. And he couldn’t even take advantage of that because of all the legal fuckery that makes a sequel impossible. It’s a small miracle Netflix didn’t make a Yakuza anime to rub salt in the wound.

San Francisco is about to tie it up. Yeah…

One of my uncles got me a cookbook for Christmas along with a new travel mug, Goon with a Spoon, and so far, all the recipes are really good. Not bad for a book that seems more like a novelty because Snoop Dogg is on the cover.

Beef rib adobo with mashed potatoes and salad.

So far so good. Also -

Apparently there’s no info about this airing anywhere in Japan, which is telling.

DeMarco has earned no benefit of the doubt on the originals front. He burned all of his credibility on original productions on the endless deluge of FLCL sequels that no one wanted or needed. It's something of a struggle to get people to care about an original property to begin with, now add in DeMarco's negative credibility and the first episode will need to knock some socks off.

It’s out and the reviews all point out it’s basically Kevin Smith going “We’re sorry! We’re sorry!”

Gurren Lagann: The Lights in the Sky are Stars. More original content including that utterly insane finale.

Also, Netflix reminded everyone they had Demon Slayer, as it climbed to #6 on their most watched non-English shows worldwide.

New trailer. We’ll see if it can live up to the standard set by One Piece (that feels weird to say).

https://discussingfilm.net/2024/01/23/oscars-2024-the-full-nominations-list/ Cinema triumphs once again. Oppenheimer leads the nominations.

Fettuccine Alfredo with strip steak and garnished with parsley and baby tomatoes. And some French wine. I got done running for 40 minutes and doing clean and jerks with 65lb dumbbells. I earned it.

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/rick-morty-season-8-date-anime-footage-1235803545/ Got all that? Good. It looks like the anime, if successful, might be used to fill time between seasons of the show.

S3 was a definite improvement over S2, even if it was primarily setup.

That botched kick looked like God swatted it to the side. Seriously, it’s on target, then whooshed to the right like a bowling ball with spin. And now next week is set.

That’s a new one. Are they that confident the subs will do well or is this a patch in a lean schedule?
