Playing the same games that I was in October, but I got Sonic Frontiers during Black Friday. I might get tired of it at some point, but I really enjoy how they pulled off the open world hubs and traveling about on rails. Giving Sonic an acceleration button like he’s a sports car is a game changer.

They saw blood in the water after re-editing Super Sentai shows struck gold with the Power Rangers. But their big flaw was thinking that anime could be easily repurposed the same way when their push to incorporate live action forced them to have to make their own animation on the cheap. I’ve been saving all the newer discoveries for a special day because I’ve been waiting to see if anything would come of this for a while. Ever since I discovered Sailor Mercury had a magical wheelchair because her human self has a wheelchair, I had to see what they had in mind for the American adaptation.

I wound up watching it in out-of-sequence fragments because of how infrequently it was re-aired on Adult Swim. I did see AO, but there were diminishing returns from constantly trying to revisit an otherwise charming surfing mecha anime.

If they really want to live up to the “House of Mouse” name, they should adapt his mouse art next.

Huey Lewis & The News is The J. Geils Band for people who can’t stand jokes with cursing.

I’ve had it with these monkey-fighting snakes on this Monday-to-Friday plane!

We’ll find out during the next primary when JFK Jr. shows up to the debate.

They were definitely trying to jump ship from WB with all the madness that’s going on with that studio’s decisions. Sony would be happier to play ball with anime adaptations versus the studio that wants to prioritize new Superman and Harry Potter films and Discovery Max.

So that’s what happened to Wake Up Girls…

Idolm@ster has always been in my blind spot because it’s been like pulling teeth to get the games here. I’d love to have a game where I can stare at these two for hours on end, but having to watch let’s play or the anime spin-offs for them makes me feel like I’m not doing my due diligence to get into it the same way I could get into something like Love Live, Bang Dream, or EnStars.

Netflix should make a K-drama where it’s a post apocalyptic Mad Max space, but they’re still working desk jobs and falling in love. They have quirky office mishaps while mutated monster people raid the building for resources. My elevator pitch would be “The Last of Us, but in a high-rise office building where the CEO and the secretary fall in love.”

By the time they spend triple digits on gacha game characters.

Black cats are the best. Mines super chill but a little clingy.

Unreliable release windows that change with every production, inconsistent release schedules based on whether it’s weekly or all dumped for binging, surprise drops that feel like they’re sent to be DOA, and quality concerns that have cropped up with shows that receive a significantly different budget from others plague Netflix as an anime platform. Why even license some of these shows if the simulcast is delayed by a month? Why refuse to announce that Stone Ocean Part 3 will be out by the end of 2022 when people are already fuming about the possibility of it airing in 2023 out of distrust? What kind of deal was given to have weekly releases for Komi-san or Isekai Ojisan, but sit on LWA or Beastars until it’s long finished airing. What is it about Kotaro-san or Edgerunners that made Netflix want to give it more fanfare than Highrise Invasion or Way of the Househusband?

It was pretty clever how they made a Death Note parody that poked fun at how the notebook would be used if the owner can’t only rely on practical deaths or the default heart attack. So many Death Note parody comics lean on “funny cartoon guy gets the Death Note” or “hated person is murdered by the notebook” that they don’t realize the funniest twist a Death Note could have is to have impractical rules. Where once the normal deaths get played out, they have to get more ridiculous with giant blenders and toilet animals. They had some gags that took me out as well like Homer knowing he’s made it as a salaryman if he’s flat-out drunk at the dinner table, Mr. Burns’ head collapsing on the burner after a “peaceful” sleeping death, or L revealing that Lisa was outlining all of her murders in her regular diary.

I will only watch this if the boy has to bodyswap with Awkwafina and completely botches the big scene by adding “yo” and “dawg” to all of the lines.

Looking forward to seeing who winds up playing L and Misa.

Ryo: Hey Toonami-san. Toonami: Hiiiii Ryooooo! Ryo: Where can I find Season 2 of Shenmue? Toonami: Season 2!? I’m sorry, Ryo. We tossed it out! Something about some Zaslav guy writing off the show for tax reasons. Ryo: I see… Toonami: He gave your Shenmue money to another season of Fixer Upper. Ryo: Do you know where can I find this man?

I’ve been drinking almond milk for so long that a lot of other milk tastes odd. I like coconut and oat better, but almond is more practical for everyday milk.

I’ve been grinding on Guilty Gear Strive and having a blast with Baiken and Testament. Was trying out Bridget again cause I used to main her in X2, but I miss when you could remote control Roger to have sawblades while you’re combo-ing. I also got Elden Ring recently. I’m not usually a big fan of the SoulsBorne games, but this clicked in a big way for me. I like the kind of strategy I can get from firing magic and dodging as a Mage vs. trying to slash and strafe my way through an almost certain demise. I’ve had Pokémon Arceus on hand for a while, but never popped it in til this weekend. I’m having a pretty good time with this one as well. Still early in the game so I don’t have too much info. Yakuza 7 and Tales of Arise are still in my backlog. Made some progress in Yakuza, but I’ve been sitting on Arise for a while.

I used the free version to catch up with Chainsaw Man once I caught up. I did read JJK on it too, but kinda fell off from it.

That’s good to hear. After hearing about what happened with the Mob Psycho dub, I’d rather not give CR any kudos or incentive to screw over others. Pffft, these guys 🤣
