Netflix added a show today called Vampire in the Garden and it seems to be about the anime USSR fighting vampires, but also, banning all music and “culture” because vampires might hear it…?

also they live in a frostpunk setting

and like

yeah vampires are a metaphor for the nobility and landed gentry

but then it turns out the vampires are like the czars????

So is it any good?

I mean, it still generally means that you'll be getting a pretty-looking show that's unlikely to melt and catch fire halfway through. Studios have never been a reliable guide to writing quality.

That's not been true since they pivoted from delivering nice shows with bits of revolutionary CG to a studio that provides CG as a cost-saving measure.

I don't disagree with the broader point the tweet is making but it's very normal for later trailers to have a huge dropoff in viewcount.

I looked up the view counts for the new dr strange and the first trailer had 55 million views and the final trailer had like 5 million views. Finally, the MCU is doomed.

maybe it's a matter of how much leverage the other production partners have and how much they use it on getting weekly releases.

godzilla SP was weekly released in japan onlu, and then when it was finished, batch released in the us (and maybe other territories, idk). THAT has to be the worst splitting of the baby i've seen so far

every genre is a bad genre for batch release. ya boy kongming is the first show i've watched live and it comes out every thursday, and it's a lot of fun as a ~*community*~ to watch the eps as they come out at roughly the same time, and discuss/bullshit/speculate for an entire week while you wait for the next one. i haven't been able to keep up with the stone ocean anime thread due to the batch release. i like to watch one or two eps at a time, and it's robbed me of my anime fellowship!


also watch ya boy kongming if you haven't started already. chinese sherlock holmes getting isekaied to manage some bartender's singing career is a very funny gag, and you don't even need to know poo poo about ancient chinese history!

I save the episode to watch on Friday after work every week because it's a great way to start the weekend.

I did the same with Godzilla SP and that also ruled.

Even right now, google says that they have about equal market capitalization at $186B. Also, it would likely spark an antitrust backlash.

Much easier to just lease the licenses to the highest bidder such as hulu, amazon, and (of course) Netflix.

Now now, they could just stop at Stone Ocean since it works as a finale to everything so far.
