Pretty neat. It also moves. And there was a projection on the wall of the shopping mall it's at, featuring Char, Amuro and Lalah. A neat place to wait for a bus at.

[Him and Earl the redneck are working on a truck engine] Hey Earl, did I show you that picture I got of Griffith from Berserk on my phone? The artist really captured his boyish charm, I wish he'd draw a doujin about it.

For this edition of Saturday Anime Night, first up is Yuyu Hakusho (1992), one of the all-time classics of shonen anime, featuring a teenage boy who is killed by a car to save a child and then given superpowers in recognition of his selflessness. He goes back to Earth and fights bad guys. Expect a lot of glowing and powering up to defeat smug villains and the like. Episodes 1 through 6 tonight.

After that is Batman: Under the Red Hood (2010), which is considered one of the best of DC’s direct-to-video animated films. Everyone’s favorite gigantically-chinned billionaire vigilante faces off against another masked crusader, the eponymous Red Hood, who ruthlessly kills criminals, believing that Batman’s no-kill policy dooms him to failure. Batman decides he must stop this new crime-fighter, but what’s this? Could the Red Hood’s true identity be someone Batman already knows? I guess we’ll find out. Director Brandon Vietti has done nothing but these DTV superhero films, and this is by far the most popular and highest-rated of them.

We’ll start at 8PM EST on Blorptube, right here:

I've seen The leader, Sword, come and To be Hero.

Have watched older anime like HxH, Parasyte, Ranma ½ etc.
Recently noticed Donghuas and was curious about them.

We eating good tonight.

No break is this really going to shape the entirety of one piece in 2025?!

Chainsaw Man creator Tatsuki Fujimoto is getting an anime anthology series of his early work on Amazon Prime. Tatsuki Fujimoto 17-26 adapts 8 short stories from the creator between the ages of 17 and 26.

Prime Video names and describes the 8 short stories as such:

A Couple Clucking Chickens Were Still Kickin' in the Schoolyard tells the tale of two survivors' bond in a post-apocalyptic world, while Sasaki Stopped a Bullet explores the intense emotions of adolescence. Love is Blind presents a sci-fi romantic comedy about love on a cosmic scale, and Shikaku follows an unhinged assassin girl's twisted love story. Mermaid Rhapsody weaves a touching romance between a boy and a mermaid centered around an underwater piano, whereas Woke-Up-as-a-Girl Syndrome delves into finding one's true self beyond gender norms. Nayuta of the Prophecy chronicles the journey of siblings bound by a harsh destiny, and Sisters depicts rivalry, conflict, and growth between artistically inclined sisters.

Several acclaimed directors, such as Tetsuaki Watanabe (Blue Lock), Nobuyuki Takeuchi (Fireworks, Should We See It from the Side or the Bottom?), and Kazuaki Terasawa (The Ancient Magus’ Bride season 2), are attached to the anthology, alongside animation studios: ZEXCS, Lapin Track, GRAPH77, 100studio, Studio Kafka, and P.A.WORKS. It also features a stacked voice cast, including Kensho Ono, Kana Hanazawa, Tomokazu Sugita, and Junichi Suwabe.

“Having my works from my student years being adapted into anime made me anxious, wondering if this was really okay, and if these works might have relied too heavily on others' inspiration.” said Fujimoto, creator of the original manga. “However, although I haven't seen them yet, I believe that through the work of talented directors, they have become proper, well-crafted pieces.”

Cant wait for this adaptation

thus waifus.

For this edition of Saturday Anime Night, first up is Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam (1985), the sequel to Mobile Suit Gundam (1979), and the series that made Gundam into a national phenomenon. Expect a whole lot of robots fighting each other and war melodrama resulting thereof, as a task force assigned to clean up the remnants of an evil empire turns evil itself. Still considered one of the best Gundam series of them all. Episodes 43 through 50 tonight. We’re finishing the series.

After that is The Garden of Words (2013), an anime romance from Makoto Shinkai, the guy behind such hits as Your Name (2016) and Suzume (2022). A young man meets an older woman in a garden, and they begin the usual romance stuff, but she only appears on rainy days. Yep, that’s pretty much the whole premise, but, hey, it’s got good reviews, it’s popular, and it looks nice. A good comfy, short movie to follow the Gundam marathon.
