#Toonami is colloquially synonymous with #anime, but this year, it's the Western cartoons on the block that have gotten the most positive attention (Rewind notwithstanding), and I think that's hilarious.

2024-10-09 21:17:43

So, now that we know that #InvincibleFightGirl is going to be #RickAndMortyTheAnime's replacement on #Toonami in November, what will be #Uzumaki's replacement?

2024-10-09 21:15:58

As expected, #InvincibleFightGirl is premiering inside of #Toonami next month!

The name "Loops" is interesting, because the creator of Pixelfed ( @npub12ty…vnqc ) is getting ready to launch an open-source TikTok alternative with the same name. I think it's a cool feature, but the name and the timing are very suspect from Meta.

If TBS/Warner Bros. Discovery stops funding new seasons of American Dad, Disney (which owns the show) most definitely will for Hulu.

Trying to have a discussion about media with someone who thinks "Kids don't deserve high-quality TV shows and movies. Only adults do." is like trying to have a discussion about music with someone who thinks "Rap is crap".
In other words: an exercise in futility.

The first error was because of the longer-than-usual #Uzumaki episode, and the other errors are due to the typical glitches that are still happening a year into the switch to the Discovery broadcast backend.

2024-10-06 05:39:10

They aired the promo for the next #DemonSlayer episode before the current one was done, among other errors.

If we don't want one conglomerate to control over 85% of the #anime distribution market, we've got to show up for #DanDaDan and (especially) #DragonBallDaima on platforms not owned by that conglomerate, as well as #MyHeroAcademiaYoureNext.

2024-10-04 06:02:32

Remember when #WBD tried to distract us from the great #HBOMax purge of August 2022 with #Joker2 material?

I'm glad the English dub of #Uzumaki is getting its own promos, too. I was worried that it wouldn't happen.

Side note: I'm so happy that #DanDaDan is a day-and-date dub release! No matter if you're watching in English or Japanese, we can all talk about the same episode, and that's just wonderful! I hope the #anime industry can get to a point where this is the norm one day.

2024-10-03 04:20:11

All TV shows and movies, except in extreme cases (child p*rn, etc.), should be preserved.
Yes, including that show/movie that YOU 🫵🏿 don't like.

Building an animation library around #WarnerBros's first-party brands (#CartoonNetwork, #HannaBarbera, #LooneyTunes, #TomAndJerry, etc.) can be done, and the Latin American branch of #WBD is proving that, time and time again.

@npub18qf…ju5r I couldn't tell you which day, because a recent update made the guide worse.

2024-09-29 21:59:38

I did my occasional browse through The Roku Channel's TV guide, and it looks like #AssassinationClassroom is coming to the #Crunchyroll FAST channel later this week, which is interesting because the show's #Toonami run ended not too long ago.

@npub18qf…ju5r Side note: The color of the subtitles needs to be a color other than white. It blends in too well and can be hard to see for some people.

2024-09-29 05:03:00

The first episode of #Uzumaki was dope! I love the score! Colin Stetson killed it (as I figured he would)! #Toonami might actually have the unquestionable W they need in this show!
Can't wait to see more (in English)!

That image of Shuichi's dad cramming himself into that bathtub just to become a spiral is very unsettling.

@npub1st2…w3kw
Mainly Twitter (sadly) because a large part of the community is still there, but I did start posting them on here and Bluesky recently as well, whenever I have something funny/witty to say.
I want to use Twitter less often, and eventually leave, for obvious reasons, but a huge chunk of the animation/cartoon/anime community is still there.
Threads, while having a large community of its own, is terrible for live events, like TV broadcasts, so that's a non-starter.

2024-09-28 07:18:39

I should really start moving my #Toonami / #ToonamiRewind live posts over here and #Bluesky exclusively.

2024-09-28 04:59:25

My feelings about the leadership structure of #Threads + #Instagram mirror those about the leadership structure of #CartoonNetwork + #AdultSwim.
In both cases, one person should not be in charge of both brands.

I don't think that #FXX is long for this world.
I've been saying it for the past year by now, but this is further proof that #Disney really has given up on the channel. That is a shame, because when Disney first bought it, things were looking up.

Since some of the Disney-owned FAST channels that were previously exclusive to the now-defunct ABC app are showing up on other free streaming services, I guess you could say that those channels are truly "unlocked" now.

It's like the Roku version of the channel, which doesn't cut off pre- and post-commercial parts of episodes due to ad overkill (like the Pluto TV and Freevee feeds do), but with better image quality and/or bitrate.
The only bummer for me is that I have to pay for a Sling TV subscription in order for it to show up in the "Live" tab on Google TV, despite it being a free channel, but that's a minor inconvenience.

2024-09-21 19:16:26

I've been (re)trying #SlingTV recently, which has a collection of FAST channels under the "Freestream" sub-brand, and I remembered that Crunchyroll's FAST channel exists on that service, so I watched it, and.....I think it's my favorite version of the channel.
