It'll be nice to get some fresh blood in the lineup, even if it's just new seasons of older shows. I had a lot of fun with AssClass but kind of forgot about it since, so hopefully we get the rest of that. A bit longer-term but the second half (part?) of AoT's final season was just announced to start in January so that seems a safe bet in a few months.

So there's also this: https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2021-10-07/baki-manga-crowdfunds-creation-of-life-size-underground-fighting-arena/.178180

Good.

Ayup. Back in January.

Nozomi, not RetroCrush, but awesome news regardless.

I just had the thought that "Batman Ninja" absolutely sounds like something Hank Venture came up with.

Ninja please. Srsly though I'm down for Batman Ninja, and Under the Red Hood is supposedly one of the very best DC animated movies.

Those two things you said were awesome though.

Kind of hilarious how they just made the highest-grossing anime movie of all time completely superfluous. Way to be, guys!

I own one singular manga: the hardcover set of Nausicaa. Everything else is animu.

RIP butler.

Oh good now my click order gets fucked up for weeks.

They can feel free to censor Zenitsu out entirely.

Discotek's release of the Lupin film The Mystery of Mamo has four English dubs on it.

To be frank, the only person I've seen bring it up when the topic arises on ANN is, well, you.

I genuinely believe that you're the only person on the planet who gives more than a moment's thought to that movie's very existence. Like, how many newer anime fans even know it was a thing?

Ah yes, the traditional Invisinipples.

I really wish it would drop off. The lovely people at Xfinity have the Saturday episodes marked as repeats, so I have to set the DVR to record everything, which means having to manually cancel every single weeknight recording every week.

The original Japanese cast apparently re-recorded the series several years ago for a BD release, presumably because they didn't have separate audio tracks in the original, so I'd assume Discotek is using that material.

Just wanna highlight "Fuck Sherpa" for posterity.

I mean it was pretty clear it was a movie tie-in even if you don't know much about the movie itself. A mysterious never-before-mentioned foreign country that has some sort of suspicious incident, a likewise never-before-mentioned dangerous illegal drug, and then that post-credits stinger is word-for-word exactly how every single Jump filler tie-in to an upcoming movie concludes. "This minor detail was thwarted, but no matter! No one can stop our plans now!"

The whole "supply hasn't kept up with demand" statement makes zero sense to me. Anime isn't a tangible consumable good that can have supply shortages in the first place. Any single production can be watched by an infinite number of people without consequence. And yeah, the anime industry needs to increase output like it needs a hole in the head. Pretty much every studio is stretched to the breaking point, and we've seen more and more productions completely fall apart as a result. What's really needed is a contraction, coupled with legitimate revenue-sharing so that animators aren't literally starving themselves to do what they love.

People frequently talk about dumb things. The solution is simple: don't listen to people who talk about dumb things. Like Angel said, why put any investment whatsoever in those numbers? Just watch the block and enjoy it while it's here. That's all we're supposed to do as viewers.
