    I mean, there already is a show about a dog getting isekai'ed, but it's kind of a light spoiler, though also not because it doesn't really have any material effect or change anything.
    It's Aquarion. The protagonists of both the original and Evol are hinted to be the reincarnation of the legendary hero, but they're both actually reincarnations of his fucking dog.

    And the head antagonist in Evol's whole deal is (slightly more of a spoiler, but it's Aquarion, so also kind of not)
    After sacrificing himself along with the hero so they could save the world and be together in death at the end of the original Aquarion, he found out that he sacrificed himself for the fucking dog, and was so aghast about it that it spawned a ghost that would chase the dog through his next reincarnation in 12,000 years for vengeance.

    Okay that's actually fucking hilarious though

    Not quite that, but there is a manga called "A Story about a Cat Reincarnated in a Different World Where There are no Cats.". It dies because it got hit by a car, though not while saving someone, but otherwise:

    The jokes are more cat-centric, too:

    Brad Swaile (the VA in question) also voiced Setsuna in Gundam 00. Of course, his most notable role was outside of the franchise - he was the voice of Mr. Keikaku himself, Death Note's Light Yagami.

    I started watching Love Flops on hidive because I like degenerate schlock sometimes and well the first episode is offensively bad to where I almost dropped it (the main character is sexually assaulted by a dog) but there's actually some good jokes buried in here, it goes from fairly typical harem fare to suddenly
    each girl has a crazy insane backstory where one of them is a magical girl, one of them is a trained killer who is being chased by a terminator, in one episode aliens show up and start putting pink diapers on men to explode their cock and balls clean off their bodies, and then suddenly in a later episode shit gets real and all the girls vanish and the end credits which normally has the girls front and center with them singing is now a void where the music plays but no one is shown and no one is singing

    Its pretty shitty overall but I'll give them credit they really swung for the fences and it's more of a parody of the genre than I expected (still does the classic anime has its cake and furiously eats it too). This is not a recommendation, I watched it so you don't have to.

    My guess’s are still, in no certain order regarding likelihood:
    1) Suletta’s Eri’s body that developed a new consciousness after getting her original forked (or just outright dumping everything wholesale and losing those memories with it, becoming a cognitive blank slate) bonding with the Lfrith+cryo shenanigans

    2) Clone of Eri after Eri’s consciousness was dumped into the Lfrith in an attempt to get her back (shades of ID-0?)

    3) Second daughter (IFV possibly?) of Prospera after something happened that has left Eri’s consciousness inside the Lfrith/Aerial

    1 seems the shakiest given how complicated it would have to be to somehow I guess dump Eri’s mind into the Gundam and leave absolutely no trace of her memories of Vanadis (since for example she has no recollection of Cardo Nabo, who seemed to treat Eri as a kind of granddaughter surrogate)

    Course given shit like implying even the GUND Bits that make up Eschucheon having personality shit could be even wilder and more tragic.

    I mean I’d have figured there’d have at least been some kind of PR leading up to it, given the way other shows tend to

    I come to CR on the day a new show comes out and have to HUNT for it. There's not a big "watch the new shows" button like Netflix or Disney + has. This goes along with the absence of a "would you like to watch the next episode of the show you were just watching" feature that puts the app like... a decade behind other, bigger services. Sony's iceberg slow movement of Funi content to CR and their baffling additions of new content (to the service they literally paid people to abandon) makes me wonder what their problem is, frankly. "Let's buy these two competing services and make an unbeatable mega-service out of the two of them... and then also, let's not do that last part."

    The CR main page used to be pretty useful. Just a nice news spread front and center.

    Ever since they did that big revamp where the news is four scrolls down and it's mostly just big images splattered everywhere the site has lost a lot of the direction it once had.

    And the problems are probably all legal stuff. Contracts can be hella specific and hard to work around.

    Based on casting they’re doing like every arc from the start to arlong park, in 10 episodes.

    I actually think some live action anime adaptations could be incredible. Like a live action Attack on Titan I think could work pretty well as a movie trilogy. Eventually we'll get there I think, but Netflix being the one spearheading these western adaptations hasn't been great so far...

    Witch from Mercury spoilers and speculation
    So I've seen a lot of theories about the time skip between the prologue and the series, and whether or not Suletta is Eri or not. There have been a bunch of theories put forth, most of which involve Eri being Aerial now and Suletta is a clone or her leftover body with a new consciousness, or a person wholesale created with 100% Gund technology.

    Some have hope that Suletta is Eri, and she got put into suspended animation or something at some point to explain her age.

    But I just saw one that makes me want to rewatch the series and see if it holds up:

    What if Lady Prospera is Eri? (edit: though offhand I can already think of two characters that at least believe Prospera is Elnora)

    I'm pretty sure somebody calls Prospera Elnora in one episode.

    I mean Death Note and Bebop both have huge fanbases even if the shows ended decades ago (both are ranked in the top 100 anime on MAL)

    If anything have more rabid fans is probably a downside as they'll be ever more critical if they get it wrong

    I just cannot possibly even give the tiniest little fuck about live action One Piece, I don't think anything could misunderstand the source material more thoroughly than trying to do a live action version.

    One Piece is essentially a Tex Avery cartoon.
