UFC 300 is tonight, and that’s relevant because of this - Toonami has been pretty resilient against big events lately, because the audience is so small and dedicated that big events don’t register with them anyway. Still rooting for Holloway.

Hopefully. Ego is the kicker here.

I didn’t think clubs like the NY Athletic Club existed anymore. (Some friends and I went to see a judo tournament there). You need a collared shirt and blazer to even get through the front door, and you need a sponsor to get membership. Also the place has an in-house restaurant and lounge, and is famous for training tons of Olympic athletes. It did result in a funny scene, the boys and I all dressed with nice shirts and suit jackets going through the lobby while a bunch of spectators in jeans were all shuffled into the laundry elevator to get to where the tournament was being held.

The Saudis have no reason to want the region to descend into hell. If the fighting is kept contained, so will the consequences.

Looking this over, it seems ceremonial. They want to make a big ruckus and kill some people, but they gave enough time and notice to avoid it being a declaration of war.

Gotta work with what you have. My guess is big changes will hit when Kamui ends.

At this point I'm kind of hoping they just dub something out of nowhere, even if Chained Soldier is definitely too spicy for Toonami. Akihabara Maid War? Something.

Delicious in Dungeon 15. Chained Soldier 10-12.

Kamui is still kicking ass over on Max. It’s been a consistent Top 5 presence.

Back 2 Society.

And they returned to hammer in how much money they’ve been making. Alexa, play “Juicy.”

Crunchyroll’s panel was less about them and more a victory lap for Godzilla Minus One which between it and Godzilla x Kong, pretty much saved the box office from being a lot worse. Warner is up tonight, with the main event of that being Joker II. No word on DeMarco’s film.

Full trailer -

The closest official word we have was when Lazzo did an AMA about it on Reddit where he said that he wanted shows to be funny first, and in the case of Metalocalypse and other more serialized works, he felt the focus on story got away from the focus on being funny, so he canceled them. Lazzo expressed similar contempt for Moral Orel evolving into a drama.

Solo Leveling 11.

Mike Lazzo has gone on the record that he did not like it when Adult Swim comedies got too plot-heavy, and would actively intervene to make them get back to the funny or cancel them outright if showrunners resisted his direction. It's why Metalocalypse didn't get its finale movie until he was long gone, it was his policy that the show was to remain canceled and he actively refused to entertain Brendon Smalls's offers to just buy the IP outright.

DeMarco breaks into the deepest depths of Warner Bros Japan, comes out with this - More likely, IGPX resumes its run.

Started Armored Core 6 the other day. Fun stuff, once you dive into the builds.

Crunchyroll panels at conventions tend to be more hyping up products. Why the holy hell they booked at CinemaCon, which is essentially a big pow-wow for studios and theater companies/owner-operators is beyond me unless they plan to do more limited anime film releases in theaters or Sony is going to begin leveraging the IP of the rather numerous anime adaptations they have in production. Speaking of, DeMarco may also be there for the Warner crew to show off the War of Rohhim ashcan film.

The Times app on my phone reported this first. Way to stay on top of things guys.

Still it says something when New Yawkers, the most desensitized people on the planet, all snap to attention and wonder what the hell just happened. I’m just hoping this didn’t knock over anything at home. Don’t feel like buying a new TV.

For a bit I thought it was the maintenance guys at work, then I looked around and everyone was wondering just what the hell happened. Weird. Nothing insurmountable, no tsunamis or any shit, but still freaky.

There was a friggin earthquake over here. Mild but still very noticeable and freaky.

It’s hard to care about a parody of Succession after Succession just ended.
