Yeah, that something seems to be the classic “leech off the popularity of others.” Which fair play, was definitely an option.

So Netflix One Piece got a renewal two weeks in, defying the odds for live action anime…and once again making me wonder what, if anything DeMarco will do with the anime airing on Toonami.

Legally they can’t till the strike is over. Once is it, that’s probably their first call.

Season 2 is official.

Jujutsu Kaisen S2 Ep 9 Gamera Rebirth 6

New trailer.

Scott Pilgrim, Pluto, and MOTU trailers will also be shown.

It is a remake and the rumor is it’s a…CG anime. And a Netflix original because of course Netflix wants more shows where people punch each other in the face. Specifically, it’s the same folks doing SAND LAND for Toriyama.

I posted this thread because I thought it was interesting to see the continued push of shows like this into mainstream culture, and it somehow got turned into an anti Serena Williams thread despite Serena retiring last year and her sister clearly done after her first round loss this year.

While the series hasn’t done Wednesday or Squid Game numbers, it’s doing well above numerous big budget releases like Sandman and The Witcher in less time. Hopefully they announce a season 2 soon. For reference, One Piece had over 10 times the viewing hours Bebop did in its first week.

I’m watching a YouTube video on North Korea’s abduction of the director Shin Sang-Ok, and apparently when he gained asylum in the US, he spent his last years making the 3 Ninjas films. Interesting life.

No word on whether this is a movie side story adaptation, a comedy thing like the DD series from a few years back, or a straight up remake. If it is a straight up remake, dollars to donuts it ends up on Netflix.

Even the opposing team losing their star QB in the first drive was no match for the Madden Curse.

Attack on Titan Plantasm debuts November 4.

Gamera Rebirth 2-3. Apparently this is what the director wanted to do with the Godzilla trilogy before he was told by Toho they didn’t want something they directly competed with the Legendary films, but the monster brawls fit quite well with Gamera as a more heroic kaiju given his own filmography even in the famous Heisei trilogy.

Clearly it’s working.

I presume his plan remains the same. Make a film. If it sucks, say Goro directed it.
