Hey Bob Iger, the people don’t want AI. They want a special edition blu-ray of the restored edition of Muppet Christmas Carol that is buried on Disney+.

Yeah, this doesn't even begin to answer what they will do with anything that can't be sold at a GameStop. Straight to Goodwill?...or the garbage?

Idol Project: Pretty Looking Noise
youtu.be/haWu_-nz2TY

Time to revisit Studio OX to look at their mildly successful yet short-lived franchise Idol Project and how, while it may look and sound good, it just ain't.

Shocked no one else has said Paradise Kiss yet.

Or The Story of Saiunkoku, which barely got a chance even when it was in print.

Hell, ROD in any form - the OVA, the show, all the manga adaptations, gone gone gone.

Tokyopop's treatment of it probably didn't help, what with them changing the music and dumping the union dub cast for a lesser one.

If anyone can think of some out of print or broadly unavailable anime that they'd like to see discussed more broadly, post them below!

Doin' a thing tonight and would love some suggestions!

I know that everything coming out of GameStop these days is dire, but this feels ESPECIALLY dire. This is "not going to survive the holiday season" dire.

Also: say a prayer for all the store employees who will have to deal with dinguses who didn't read the exceptions.

important reminder that, while we appreciate her sticking a knife in Trump at this present moment, Marjorie Taylor Greene is a committed antisemite and is not and will never be your friend

It's also a good way to chase off the tradcaths, so it's the theological equivalent of killing two birds with one stone.

Patlabor is another thing I need to try, since that's apparently the last time Oshii let himself have a sense of humor.

OTOH, I've often been put off in the past by Oshii films. I respect GITS more than I like it, and not even Beautiful Dreamer did all that much for me. I tend to find his brand of bone-dry, obtuse filmmaking off-putting, and Angel's Egg sounds like that to a T.

Ok, this is a question for the mutuals who have some notion about my taste: do you think I would like Angel's Egg?

There's a single screening here in town next week and part of me wants to see if the years and years of hype from countless other mutuals is merited.

i’d be more comfortable with the olivia nuzzi coverage if every story was headlined something like β€œseduced by a guy who eats roadkill: the story of an extremely stupid lady”

And I will always be grateful to Discotek for going the extra mile to hunt down that gloriously doofy dub and preserving it for the ages, along with that earworm of an OP.

LQR: There are many amazing line deliveries from the Ninja Robots dub and I will never stop marvelling at how they turned Joe into such an amusing dirtbag, but that entire exchange (from Ep 20 IIRC) is just chef's kiss brilliance. Never fails to make me laugh.
