With all the guesses of where the dynamic came from, Trigun would not have been my first.- 94 replies

Watanabe is like…the one guy who will still work with DeMarco. It probably helps that while he never had the biggest influence in Japan, the AS/Toonami crowd both revere him as a saint and understands he won’t just do Bebop variants till the end of time.

FLCL brand further denigrated by NFT and Cryptocurrency licensing it.

The original poster deleted his tweet but they're still live. No word on DeMarco's response, but my bet is it ain't going to be pretty. -

Season 2 trailer. Show premieres end of July. -
Demon Slayer Swordsmith Village 8 Hell’s Paradise 13. Season finale and I maintain this is much better than Unicorn: Warriors Eternal.

My Adventures with Superman Episode 3 Talkback
Jman replied to Jman's topic in Episode Discussion Archive
One minor thing, while the internet has compared Superman to Goku since the 90s, this version of the Man of Steel seems to be heavily channeling Gohan and it’s kind of hilarious. I just need him to beat an alien army the way Gohan did Freeza in one of the movies.- 51 replies

Gonna err towards it being banned given that regulations consider cosplaying union work scabbing.

I question why this remake exists, not because of his crimes (but trust me, that does not help one bit) but because we already had a really good film series that covers most of the manga including the prequel. They’re really good samurai films, and to go back to this well so soon after their finale feels kind of pointless.

My Adventures with Superman Episode 3 Talkback
Jman replied to Jman's topic in Episode Discussion Archive
This show continues to be an utterly bizarre mix of wanting to be anime, not wanting to be too anime so it throws Avatar shit in it, and reverence to the Christopher Reeve films with use a lot of their imagery because Fuck Zack Snyder for ruining Warner’s attempt to build an MCU equivalent. Funny thing is Steve Lombard makes no fucking sense here because he was originally written as a sports broadcaster during a period in the comics where Clark was an anchorman for a Metropolis news station. He makes sense as a TV reporter, not a newspaper one. On a similar note, Waid’s coffee is named for comic writer Mark Waid, notable for World’s Finest and Kingdom Come. I don’t know if the show would be better or worse if it picked a lane and stayed in it, because it feels like all these disparate elements create something very unique, which is necessary given that nothing seems to be able to escape the shadow of the DCAU versions as the definitive version of Superman in the modern era (because again, Fuck Zack Snyder). This is a Superman that feels like Superman without being a slave to what came before, even if it’s happy to use prior imagery. That all being said, the opening and ending desperately need songs with lyrics. The opening feels like it really wants to have some Japanese guy sing, and the ending, well I stand by “Starman” fitting the imagery better than the instrumental.- 51 replies
