Years ago I watched a show about a comet (?) turning a couple of select japanese people into super-robots. One guy was a super-rear end in a top hat and started killing people, the other one a good guy trying to stop him? Maybe an old guy that's also a robot/machine. Anyway the creator made a manga I liked that was also bizarro about some egg and a countdown and aliens/monsters killing people. Wonder if that's the same show with the pornstar that becomes a giant? Might be the same guy but a different show.

Hiroya Oku is the creator and Gantz is the one with the egg thing. Ahhh domo arigatou gozaimasu

Heeeeeey


Inuyashiki is good, the characters act realistically when thrust into a crazy situation, is the teenager developed a god complex and the brow beaten old man just wants to be left alone and help people.

the funny part of inuyashiki is that the villain loves one piece but hates gantz.

Time is dead and meaning has no meaning!
I remember reading somewhere that the episode of Inuyahsiki where 2channers doxx the teenager's parents and he uses his powers to hunt down and kill every troll was the writer's response to people on 2channel dunking on Gantz. Not sure if it's true but I like to believe it is.

the funniest part of that article isnt even that its them saying kadokawa sent out previews to a bunch of right wing pundits with instructions like THE LIBERALS WILL PROTEST. WE WILL STAND OUR GROUND. WE WILL NOT BE SILENCED. and then they cancelled it like 5 minutes after announcing it

The main takeaway from Cats is that a cat is not a dog.

One of the first attempts at a theatrical adaptation of Cats was an animated film produced by Amblin, and they would have just been drawn as normal cartoon cats and not human abominations

Sitting in the theater waiting for Boy and the Heron and a pretty good turnout for a matinee. I could do without hearing other people's conversations so I hope they shut up soon. The dichotomy of the theater-going experience.

I would hazard a guess that you could get something more worthwhile out of any past Grendizer or Mazinger thing than whatever Gaina is going to poo poo out with a bunch of dudes who were also busy with other stuff.

I did find it odd that they went so hard on the THE WOKES WILL TRY TO CANCEL US BUT WE WON'T GIVE IN stuff only to fold literally immediately at the first hint of backlash since surely they should have expected that response, but I just figured that some higher-up caught wind of it and was like "wtf we don't want anything to do with this shitstorm." But this version of the story is way funnier.
