This is the first I have heard of this project. I have to say I am very happy it has not been cancelled and is on its way to streaming and TV sooner rather than later. While I am not a big fan of leaving the rest of the Gang out of the main cast, an anime take on the Thirteen Ghosts of...

A true legend of American voice acting. Even with his career cut short by a stroke in 2022, Tom had achieved one of the most prolific resumes of any voice actor in the past 30 years. Professor Utonium was a career-defining role, and one that really anchored the Powerpuff Girls as a story that...

Tohya makes a good point. I was also going to point out that the Space Western was never a major genre in anime. You have shows like Star Musketeer Bismark and Combat Mecha Xabungle from the 1980's and some of Leiji Matsumoto's work from the 70's, but the most important works in the whole genre...

Has anyone else seen the trailer for the upcoming Blue Lock live action movie? It looks decent:

Sadly, I'm not very impressed by what I've seen. The opening, the part of the anime that typically has the best animation, barely has any movement for the first half. The opening song is generic and oddly cheery J-Rock that does not fit the tone of the series. It seems like this show was made on...

This show has in general been a really solid addition to Toonami. Very odd choice but I certainly support the block expanding its horizons. It's generally a lot more likeable than Food Wars / Shokugeki no Souma because as over the top as it can be it's not weighed down by gratuitous fan service...

The cast was also announced previously: Yuki Kaji (Eren Jaeger, Koichi Hirose, Shoto Todoroki) as Mao Natsumi Kawaida (Natsumi Hodaka) as Nanoka Kiba Hiro Shimono (Zenitsu, Dabi, Ayato Kamina) as Hyakka Toshiyuki Toyonaga (Mikado Ryugamine, Flit Asuno, Jin Itadori) as Kamon

A big name in the Disney Renaissance of the 1980's and 90's has passed from the world. Even before directing the Lion King, Roger Allers was the head of story for Beauty and the Beast and a storyboarder on just about every major Disney project from Oliver and Company to Aladdin. Having a major...

After many delays, I can finally write my review on the two-part finale. The 'Mousse Returns' arc is interesting for several reasons. This is about as black-hearted as Mousse acts in the whole series; he is a really nasty piece of work for most of this arc. He was willing to inflict a Jusenkyo...

Not a huge fan of the CG, but it looks better than Call of Justice. Also, I really want to see how the rest of the team looks in this 'prettier', more modern style. Joe looks just a tad bit too delicate for me, and I'm sort of worried how bland everyone else will look being stripped of their...

Ugh, I was hoping Dragon Ball Super: Beerus would be a limited series exploring Beerus's background. That could have been interesting. Instead, Toei is just going to milk Battle of the Gods for a few more yen/dollars. I'm guessing we can look forward to Dragon Ball Super: Resurrection of Frieza...

You have to keep in mind that mecha anime is in a slump over in Japan as well. How many new anime series have started every year in Japan this decade? The average must be at least 120 or so, possibly as high as 150. How many of those were in the mecha genre? I doubt it was more than three a...

Ok, this was pushed back way too long. I was sick for a good chunk of last month thorough and had to use my limited time for other things. Episode 10 was easily one of my favorites from this season. The Romeo and Juliet arc was a favorite of Rankane shippers back in the day, and heavily hyped...

Episode 9 covers the classic story where Ryoga and Ukyo meet each other for the first time. Credit to Ukyo, she comes up with a rather solid idea to solve their mutual problems: if she can get Ryoga together with Akane, then Ukyo can swoop in and romance Ranma. There are just two problems...

Mousse's nearsightedness is a parallel gag to Ryoga's lack of direction. His inability to see things clearly is a metaphor for his inability to accept Shampoo does not like him back. She hates him in fact, as she bluntly told him in this episode. Again the '89 anime made Shampoo a little nicer...
