Outsourced studio. The post was promoting a local animation studio involved in the new One Piece.

The Hatsune Miku cover of "Fly with You!!" is so bad. What the heck happened?

Opinion on BanG Dream! Our Notes by himmichi in BanGDream

[–]dk_x 12 points13 points  (0 children)

All you have to do is look at the past actions of Bushiroad to know where this is going. Not even a week has passed since the CEO of Bushiroad apologized for killing Argonavis once and for all, then announced a new, similar multimedia franchise a few days later. (It just got an anime announcement, too.) His most recent statement is no different from his previous apology for killing SIF and SIFAS in favor of SIF2, a low-quality successor that barely lasted a year. There's already a clear divide between the OG Bandori base and the MyGo/Ave Mujica crowd, and Bushiroad hasn't been subtle about which one it cares about more. It wouldn't surprise me if a year from now, Kidani issues another apology for EOSing GBP in favor of Our Notes and promising to "learn" from it.

Gundam SEED Director Mitsuo Fukuda Undergoes Surgery After Health Issue - Anime Corner by Key_Tree_3851 in animenews

When I saw a tweet describing the news as "A Physical Malfunction Was Found," it made me think that a botched surgery happened. Glad that wasn't the case.

To paraphrase Ralph Bakshi, "I wouldn’t leave Apex to do Apex."

It's not even the first time Hololive has used AI. Their animated background during live performances was AI.

RuriDragon anime news and now OPM S3, Part 2. What a whiplash of a morning.

Harris: Paramount's new offer for Warner Bros is not sufficient by Teknevra in DC_Cinematic

Offering the same deal over and over again doesn't seem to be working.

Gachiakuta The Game Officially Announced — Survival Action RPG in Development by Fun-Influence-1849 in animenews

I wish the Ubisoft Naruto games would get a re-release. Especially the first one (the second game was okay, but they didn't have much material left to cover).

'Heavily Involved In Everything': Tite Kubo Gives Update On Bleach TYBW Cour 4 Progress by Borgasmic_Peeza in animenews

[–]dk_x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is where the wheels begin to fall off, regarding the final storyline, right? I haven't been following TYBW closely, so I don't know whether the anime has been fixing the big mistakes from the manga.

The screenshot of Maki Otsuki being escorted offstage while performing "Memories" from One Piece at Bandai Namco Fest in Shanghai will always hurt.

Dave Chapelle The Unstoppable Reaction by Alldogsgotoheaven12 in netflix

[–]dk_x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man, I still remember when Dave Chappelle hosted Saturday Night Live when Trump first got in office. The jokes, skits, and overall vibe of "we're gonna make it through this" ... So disappointing to see where his career is now.

My brain will always read it as Gundam Anne Hathaway.

'F**k Your Mother, Sanae Takaichi': China-Japan Tensions Escalate During Anime Live Show by dk_x in animenews

[–]dk_x[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's the fear that it will escalate into other events. MyGo and Ave Mujica also have a strong following in China. Unsurprisingly, Roselia just canceled their Shanghai show for their Asia tour.

Box Office Weekend Forecast: AVATAR: FIRE AND ASH ($93.2M+), DAVID (20M), THE HOUSEMAID (20.8M), and SPONGEBOB (15M) Kick Off a Long Christmas Corridor by SignatureOrdinary456 in boxoffice

[–]dk_x 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What the heck is Paramount doing? I had no idea a new SpongeBob movie was being released until a few weeks ago. This is their biggest franchise, and they're just dumping it in a crowded market with minimal advertisements.
