Edit - Surprisingly Shadow and Bone was in the hundreds of millions for hours, so it had to be cost.

It was a shell of its former glory these past few years. Pulling the plug made sense.

One Piece was the 4th most Googled show in 2023.

Production has begun, headed by Joby Harold, the producer of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters (aka the TV show with Godzilla).

https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-67163680 I wonder how long one has to operate to make back its operating costs.

Crunchyroll is going to want their exclusivity window to drive subscribers, and after that, Netflix is where the money is, not Toonami. They likely will get it last just based on who’s paying what.

Trailer.

The manga is etching ever closer to its conclusion.

Grendizer was to the Middle East what Voltron was to the US, and now they’re funding a remake.

Tom Petty, Bonnie and Clyde, Florida Man, but over a year to wait.

Goblin Slayer S2 1-2.

It looks to be a homage to the Red Shoulders of Armored Trooper VOTOMS fame.

Only other animated series were Blue Eye Samurai and Summer Camp Island in Honorable Mentions.

Godzilla Minus One - 9/10. One of the few monster movies where the human stuff is genuinely interesting but it only makes the kaiju stuff seem bigger and more important, instead of feeling like a distraction. See it on a big screen or with a 4DX.
