Crunchyroll? Nah they're still plaguing the gacha market
but we can go deeper
Steam: YOU FACE JARAXXUS| Twitch.tv: CainLoveless
Because they had a three year gap between global and JP and made no effort to narrow it, meaning everyone knew exactly which units to save for and which were bait.
Even still, it was making money. Just not enough money for their liking.
They used to annote sub/dub (english/spanish) etc.
Now I'll see a new update for Tensei Slime, for example, and wonder
New season?
New OVA?
Movie streaming?
New English dub episode?
Added another previously unsupported language?
Click through to find out! And then it's still not obvious.
Madoka The Rock would be an amazing show.
Characters got introduced with a rate up banner and then got moved into the normal gacha pool so unless the character was the new meta or a waifu you had to roll then it was save rolls for the seasonal banner cause those had characters that won't go into the normal pool and cause it was 3 years behind you knew which banners were worth rolling otherwise you ignore and save. It made $180k in Feb but that wasn't good enough so Crunchyroll shut it down so they can move on to another anime spinoff game cause that will make more in the short term before no one cares about the anime anymore and quit playing.
Having thumbed through the manga a little bit though, there are content warnings abound. It gets very weird about 13 year olds having sex and gender in general. No signs of how the adaptation will handle that though.
Judging by the cast list the show is somehow covering the beginning to arlong park so I could honestly see them getting to it in season 2 if it got one.

I would be impressed if they even landed on Alabasta before the end of season 3 without skipping a ton of shit.
and then Alabasta is 2 seasons by itself...
the early east blue stuff is quaint in how fast it moves through the story compared to the exponential growth of arc length afterwards
This has been on my to read list forever and I'm excited about the anime.
I am moderately interested, will probably watch first episode tomorrow.
Here is an OP:
It is a six episode OVA that feels like a 26 episode series.

@Local H Jay
Sure, but it's a blow to their biz none the less and I'm for it
oh it's extremely funny, but fuck disney for knowing and doing nothing
It's a little different than actually ending a contract early, IMO

I’ll spoiler this because it’s difficult to discuss this film without getting into some of the deepest parts of it:
Yet, despite these tonal shifts that should tear the film, the whole absolutely works. The film plays with regret, paranoia, longing and hope in a maelstrom of dream logic. The story is ultimately one of a man wracked with guilt for leaving everything behind in order to save himself from that sweeping changes of a system he once brutally enforced but now turn themselves against him and his. We begin the story with a dramatic escape with Koichi and his two partners, Ao and Midori, a trio that practically embody the namesake of the now disbanded “Kerberos” armored police that they served under. On a hot summer day in 1995, they attempt to flee the country, only for Midori and Ao to be held back by injuries sustained in fights with their former colleagues and private citizens who have been turned loose upon them; in the the end the two compel Koichi to escape rather than leave all three of them to be caught. Three years later, he returns as he promised them, carrying the burden of a large, cumbersome suitcase with ease home with him. Here he finds his hometown a strange, disorienting, changed place. It is on his return, having booked a hotel, that he is set upon by agents of the state that seek to kill him for his desertion and the crimes committed in his escape.
Miraculously, Koichi fends off these dozens of men, dressed more like mimes than as operatives, and begins his strange and dreamlike descent into the town and his past. He finds an old Informant, Ginji; he finds Ao, now getting by by hustling at games of pool; he finds Midori, now a kept woman of Bunmei himself. Each time he is forced to reckon with his memories of their glorious pasts and the dregs of their present, as he clings to his guilt for leaving them and failing to embody the hope of restoration they viewed him as.
And yet, all of it feels off. The town is like a tightly interconnected labyrinth, his captures and escapes comical and aggrandizing. And always at play is the strange dreamlike feel of it all, the constant reoccurrence of a theatre, a taxi, of a disused factory turned interrogation chamber, of symbolic forms substituting themselves for their represented actual actions.
And before long, no matter how many times Koichi repeats about that blistering summers day in 1995, where the asphalt was so hot that those who walked it left footprints behind in it, he can no longer sustain it. Deeper memory intrudes. There was no grand escape of the trio where they gunned down their would be captors, no dramatic partings and promises to reunite one day, no grand helicopter escape.
There was only Koichi, alone, a stolen set of protect gear stuffed into luggage, escaping out a dismal sewer in the rain.
And in the end, there is only Koichi, alone. The town breaks and folds in on itself, as a man racked with guilt of leaving everything and everyone he knew behind. His hotel is the theatre is the factory is all a film set, a movie studio lot. He finds himself finally confronting only himself, clad in the protect gear he once wore, rain pouring over it… and tells himself to shoot.
And it ends. We cut to Koichi, collapsed in the shower. Outside police stand watch, as Bunmei muses what he must have been thinking about as he died; “Some egocentric dream.” The dream of a dying man who’s inability to let go of his past, of his confused, muddied fears, of his insecurities, his hopes, his regrets and his longing brought him at last to a sudden end. There was no glory, no heroics of old as he viewed it all. Merely a dead man, naked in the shower as old colleagues rifle through what he left behind.
Ginji is there, as are Ao and Midori, each wearing the uniform of some other police force of the state. Bunmei has them inspect the suitcase, hoping to find the protect gear that went missing the day that Koichi fled the country. But inside there are only dozens upon dozens, packed as a heap…
…of red spectacles.
Some notes:
1. Turns out it's pronounced Avon-Ghelian.
2. This is dumb! "Hey child, look at this big robot you knew nothing about that we built to fight that monster. Get in it. No? How about... yes? Ok cool now that we spit you out right in front of this thing that just survived a nuclear missle, first thing is first: let's teach you how to walk! Also, fuck you, the audience!"
3. Boy I hate Shinji! Immediately I want him to explode!
4. Lotta pretty, fiddly, 90s era military-core designs tho. Probably sucked 85 tons of shit to draw and animate all that cool garbage.
