And who’s going to be home at 5pm to watch it? Most adults will be working. You’ll get some families, maybe? I don’t see da kids being endeared by a nearly 40 year old show.

Nostalgia and nostalgia blocks are...complicated for me. It's my feeling that if you're not moving forward, it means that something is wrong, as far as your ability to attract new viewers. It'd be one thing if this was in addition to new stuff, but it feels like this is the first time Toonami's broken containment, so to speak, in ages. And it's for old stuff. It speaks to stagnation. A nostalgia block and a nostalgia channel are great if you deal entirely in the business of nostalgia (MeTV) or you're doing it in addition to the newer stuff because there's no room for the older stuff on the main block. Then yeah, it's fine. But here it feels like a crutch of sorts because everyone is watching the newer stuff elsewhere.

Indiana judge rules tacos and burritos are Mexican style sandwiches

That’s a torta. My understanding is the ruling has tacos fall under the sandwich purview because sandwich stores have looser regulations. -
Air fried duck, yellow rice with mushrooms, onions, and some baby tomatoes on the side.

I think the state of Toonami is best summed up by the launching of Toonami Rewind, reminding you when it used to be better, this girl power thing from before Zaslav came in with his fiscal chainsaw like his name was Denji, and Netflix getting this - I feel like if you’re focused entirely on the past, it means you have nothing to offer the present.

Viral Hit 5 - Much better. An actual fight.

Viral Hit 4 - Are all Korean comic creators just trying to live out their high school dating fantasies? You know, if you’re going to go that route, Baki has a goddamn sex scene!

FAST channel providers like Tubi and PlutoTV are packed with anime channels, but the overhead on a FAST channel is practically zero, so as long as the licensor agrees, throw some leftovers on the FAST channel and watch some Naruto. Hell, Crunchyroll just started a FAST channel. Over the air is another matter entirely.

I’m annoyed the normally unfunny rag was actually genuinely funny.

Come on, the Peter Capaldi reading is way funnier.

Ribs with cornbread and some raw vegetables.
