Top Gun

Two sniveling little bitches yelling at a real man.

Yeah, if there's any Toonami that has real promise, it's this one. I'm assuming they just threw some money at Watanabe and said "do what you do best."

Yeah, almost four years ago Brady bought a supermarket lobster and wanted to see if he could keep it alive as a pet in a home aquarium. The beginning was pretty sad, the rubber bands around Leon's claws had atrophied them to the point that they couldn't even function, but Brady managed to rehab them until Leon could use them again. He made regular update videos about Leon, and they wound up going viral and getting millions of views. Turns out lobsters are fascinating animals and even have something of a personality. Even beyond Leon, Brady's videos are a great watch; he has multiple other aquarium experiments and a bunch of rescue cats, and they just have this relaxing chill vibe to them.

Trailer is pretty hype.

There have been a decent number of celebrity deaths recently but this is the thing that actually hit me hard:

Heh, well that was fast.

If we get any third-party acquisitions this year, I hope this is one of them. I love that gang of total idiots.

Booooo

He's rather see the Israeli hostages killed than released. That gives him the excuse to murder more Palestinian civilians.

"I spent the entire week telling you to go fuck yourself."

This one looked pretty butt-ugly, but when I rewatched it I honestly enjoyed it more than Progressive. At least Haruko had some fun dialog in this. Progressive was just fucking weird for weird's sake.

I mean at least that started out as all first-party Nintendo characters, and even after it expanded game characters in general. Fortnite hasn't met a piece of pop culture it can't "How do you do, fellow kids?" with.

So what I'm hearing is that it's the perfect time to launch Excited Boat Monkey Club!

Funny thing is that I thought the show looked really interesting and actually wanted to watch it. Not so much here though.

Oh man, I forgot all about these dweebs still trying to push NFTs in 2025 until Toonamiguy mentioned it. All the more reason for me to blissfully ignore their block.

No matter what winds up happening with the linear cable block, I think there's still a lot of nostalgia value in the Toonami brand itself, and lord knows corporate types are all about milking the shit out of nostalgia brands.

Fortnite has all the energy of a 6-year-old smashing their entire toy box of action figures together.

Y'know it struck me as I was watching the 4 Nations hockey final tonight...I genuinely wanted Canada to win. And I fucking hate the Canadian hockey team. That's how disgusting this shit is right now.

If it's any longer than "Fuck off and die" it's a waste of text.

Macross Plus, Samurai Champloo, Kids on the Slope, and Carole & Tuesday say hi? Even Terror in Resonance got more positive response than negative from what I saw.

Christ I'm old.

He is such a pathetic little bitch.

At least there are multiple shows airing every week, albeit most of them reruns at the moment. Mashle kicked ass, and that's a show I probably never would have found on my own. (No idea why the hell we couldn't go right into season 2 though.) As moribund as things are now, Toonami still feels like something resembling a cohesive block of television, or at least much more so than airing a pair of anime series for an hour every other week. And I don't see how any offering on a niche cable channel has the luxury of "finding its groove" in the year 2025, given how few eyeballs are left on cable overall. You'd think the opposite would be true, that a new programming block would want to start things off with as big of a bang as possible to get viewers to tune in. That's what [as] did when it brought back the Toonami brand over a decade ago, kicking it off with multiple new premieres in short order. Or look at what SyFy did with Ani-Mondays back in the day: they blew everyone's faces off with the premiere of Solid State Society, then bangers like Noein and Macross Plus (and Tokko was there too for some reason). Maybe I'm wrong and this thing has some actual staying power, but right now it feels like someone's vanity project, and it wouldn't shock me if it swiftly goes the way of Chiller's weird little anime experiment.

I get the frustration over Toonami, but how is having all of two shows that are a decade old at this point and running them every other week for God knows what reason in any way better?

Imagine holding your shitstain politicians accountable.
