Kaiju Week in Review (March 3-9, 2024)

Shin Ultraman took an eternity to reach home video, but Godzilla Minus One will proceed as a more reasonable pace (by Japanese standards). Toho will release roughly one billion different editions on May 1, with Amazon- and Godzilla Store-exclusive physical bonuses both on offer. Godzilla Minus One/Minus Color is included with some of the pricier versions, or you can buy it as a standalone Blu-ray or DVD.

The black-and-white version of Shin Godzilla, SHIN GODZILLA:ORTHOchromatic, also hits Japanese home video on May 1. Like Minus Color, no 4K edition, just Blu-ray and DVD. A handful of new bonus features about ORTHOchromatic are included.

As is standard for Toho, none of these releases will be English-friendly. But given the films' popularity (and the lack of any legal way to watch Minus One since it left theaters), expect bootlegs to circulate at light speed.

Unsurprisingly, Godzilla Minus One cleaned up at the Japanese Academy Awards, with eight victories out of eleven nominations: Picture of the Year, Best Supporting Actress, Best Cinematography, Best Screenplay, Best Editing, Best Sound, Best Art Direction, and Best Lighting. That's one more than Shin Godzilla, and pretty much guarantees that the Toho Godzilla series will keep the prestige pictures coming. Strange times!

We'll see if Minus One can also capture Best Visual Effects at the American Academy Awards tonight. The Creator remains its biggest competition. The Gareth Edwards film is better-positioned by the usual metrics, with a second nomination for Best Sound and five wins at the Visual Effects Society Awards, but the enthusiasm gap for the films themselves may prove decisive. I'll be doing a much lengthier analysis during Wikizilla's Oscar stream tonight, which will start at about 6:00 PM ET, an hour before the ceremony begins.

Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire tickets may not be on sale yet, but Cinemark theaters have rolled out the above merch (much more efficiently than Target and Walmart have rolled out the toyline, if my local theater's any indication). I have a suspicion those plushies will be worth a mint a few years from now, small as they are; don't know about the other stuff. I bought the larger popcorn tin when I saw Dune: Part Two on Thursday. The promo image is deceptive, as the green area is transparent plastic and the Titan image is on the opposite wall of the tin, so that popcorn's either defying gravity or being held up by a hidden insert. There are Kong and Skar King variants as well, the latter revealing his height (318 feet). Poor Shimo; being the "secret" villain really narrows the amount of merch you get.

The other interesting GxK news this week (apart from the endless TV spot variants, which I'm not even trying to keep track of) is a collaboration with the American Red Cross, of all institutions. Donate blood, platelets, or AB Elite plasma from March 25 to April 7, get a free T-shirt. And for completion's sake, I'll mention the Roblox and Call of Duty cross-promos too.

Chibi Godzilla Raids Again, an unexpected delight last year, is getting a second season starting April 3. The official site revealed that Minilla is joining the cast, while those silhouettes to his right look like Titanosaurus (unjustly neglected in recent years), Gigan, and Gabara. Expect to follow the first season in being uploaded to the GODZILLA OFFICIAL by TOHO YouTube channel with English subtitles.

Here's another chance to watch Tsuburaya and Toei Animation's Kaiju Decode short, originally released in 2021. (It goes away at the end of the month, because every Japanese studio is apparently hellbent on making short films ephemeral, so download it now.) It's the basis for a recent mixed reality game for the Meta Quest 3 and Meta Quest Pro, hence its return to the spotlight.

UniVersus, a collectable card game predicated on pitting characters from various franchises against each other, is going all in on Godzilla after offering a couple of Minus One cards through highly convoluted means last year. They're releasing a couple of Godzilla Challenger Series (preconstructed decks) on June 21, one based around Godzilla and Mothra, the other around King Ghidorah and Rodan, with Mechagodzilla thrown into the mix for both. I've never played this game in my life, but the prospect of a shiny Godzilla card with James Stokoe art is sort of tempting.

my server vs netflix

Long post for a few mutuals who asked about this 🏴‍☠️

Netflix (according to the geeks on server forums -- so this could be off a bit) has individual servers that hold about 100TB of data each, and Netflix claims they have around 18,000 servers worldwide.

Netflix has about 3000 movies and 1800 TV shows available in the United States at any given time. It varies in other countries, but is similar.

This is my server below (pen for size comparison and purple sticky note covering the super bright blue light that bores into my brain)

It's got 5 drive bays, and right now I have 60TB of storage space in it (meaning it's just a little smaller than one of Netflix's servers), and only 37TB of which is currently used. I can easily expand with add-on bays once I fill up the 60TB.

I currently have 4470 movies and 862 TV series, all with closed captioning that I've curated and about 100 of the TV shows have bonus scenes and specials included.

My server cost me about $2700: $1200 for the 5-bay box and the rest was spent on hard drives over the course of 2 years -- 5 inside the server and 6 backup drives. I bought good drives when they were on sale.

I spent another $300 on a range extender for my house so mom and dad could watch in their bedrooms without interruption.

My home internet costs $50 a month and I'm able to serve friends and family in the US, Canada, Europe, and Australia. It's not always accessible (sorry Australia and your shitty internet), but it's up most of the time.

I never take movies/TV shows off of my server, and all the TV shows have their original DVD soundtracks, so nobody has to worry I'm going to remove their faves or ruin soundtracks.

I take requests from anyone, adding it when I find it with no judgement on content.

I don't charge anyone for using my server, and yet I'm paying less than I used to for internet and streaming services.

My payments for internet and streaming for my business and two family houses (Charlie's house and my house) used to be $900 A MONTH ($450 of it was the business internet because ISPs gouge businesses even though the internet usage at the shop is less than home).

Just before I quit Cox Internet, they were about to raise the cost and my new total would've been $1000 per month.

My monthly payments are now $220 for internet service and streaming services. So within just a few months, the server paid for itself.

I still have YouTube TV, Netflix x2 (one for each house), Hulu, and Discovery+.

I'm not saying the average person can set this up, but I want to make it clear that streaming services aren't the mysterious, unknowable magic that people think they are.

They're just servers (hard drives) with data on them and a good internet connection.

Anyone can set up a home server. You don't need a $1200 box like mine. Even an old computer/laptop or single hard drive will work.

A brand new 2TB good-quality hard drive that could hold about 1000 movies or 60-80 TV series would only cost $60 plus another $29 for a basic enclosure/case. (I bought mine from NewEgg for backups)

I use Plex as my media server program. It has a free version and a paid version. I bought the lifetime pass on sale for $90. It goes on sale 2-3 times a year. There are other programs out there too, including Kodi, which has a Netflix skin so it looks like you're using Netflix.

Plex and other programs like it already have a huge library of metadata, so I didn't have to create my own cover art or fill in any other information other than title & year for movies or title + season + episode number for TV shows.

Careful naming of files and sorting in properly-named folders is all you need to have this:

It took me about 3 months to download and organize most of the movies and TV shows in between working and taking care of my home/family. Now I update the server once a week and it takes about 2 hours a week to download/update new TV shows and movies.

I wasn't able to torrent when I had Cox Internet, but the new $50/month ISP doesn't give a shit. Even so, I use a VPN, which is $9 a month just in case they ever decide to get touchy about torrenting.

The server does regular maintenance on itself, and I have backups of everything.

I realize not everyone has the tech skills to set something like this up, but even if one tech person in the family or circle of friends has the ability, they could serve around 60 people.

The most I've had streaming at one time was 10 separate people watching different things, and my server handled it with no problem.

Others on the server forum claim they've maxed out around 25 people simultaneously watching, but 60 people is the number suggested because not everybody will watch at the same time.

Streaming, as it currently works, does NOT support anyone related to the creation of TV shows and movies.

Hopefully this will change, but even if it does, that doesn't change the fact that I can easily support creators myself by buying their DVDs, merch, going to cons, and donating to them or their projects directly.

Right now, pirating movies and TV shows doesn't hurt creators because streaming services and big studios are the main villains, and if all you did was donate $5 to your favorite TV show/movie, you'd be giving them more than if you streamed their content as many times as you wanted each month on a big streaming service.

I have movies and TV shows on my server that aren't even available from content creators anymore due to greedy CEOs and execs who dump their content for tax breaks.

If more people switched to using their own servers, MAYBE it would scare the greedy assholes into paying content creators what they deserve, but in the meantime it's a great way to enjoy content that was created to be shared and to support the creators.

EDIT: I need to add that streaming a TV show/movie as much as possible in the first few weeks of the release date DOES help the show get renewed and the movie execs are more likely to buy future movies, so please stream as much as possible then to help content creators. After that time is up and the streaming service moves on, then it's totally fine to pirate.

Gomer Pyle Blu-Ray Box Set Review

Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C.— The Complete Series includes all five seasons of the classic sitcom. This 20 disc set will provide hours of entertainment and laughter.

This hit spin-off from The Andy Griffith Show took one of the hilarious side characters, Gomer, and set a fresh new show around him that would exceed the hilarity which started in way back in Mayberry, North Carolina.

I still rank this comedy in my all-time top 10 list. The naive, but loveable country boy Gomer (Jim Nabors) and loudmouthed Sergeant Carter (Frank Sutton) play incredibly well off each other. This is probably the 20th time I've watched most of these classic episodes and I still gleefully appreciate the comedic genius of this old tv show.

The series is presented in HD for the first time in this 20 disc Blu-Ray set. The first season is in black and white with the rest in beautiful color. The transfer is solid and crisp, especially in season 2-5. Actors and actresses faces and overall presentation have never looked so delightfully clear. You'll even notice set pieces and landscapes in the background like never before. It's amazing when you realize these episodes are over 60 years old. Although this is presented in a 4x3 aspect ratio, it never hinders your appreciation for this series.

VIDEO QUALITY 📽️ : B+

For only a DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 Mono track the sound is actually quite pleasant. It might be because I long enjoyed these episodes on an old picture tube television for years without complaining, but I can not find anything wrong with the mono mix here. I am also aware that not all of the music originally found from this series made it to this release sadly due to rights of usage.

AUDIO QUALITY 🔈 : B-

As far as the extras go, there aren't many (see below). There are also no dvds or digital copies available with this set either. While the disc extras here aren't numerous, I can understand that more than the lack of digital copies for the episodes.

Season One, Disc One:

Pilot Episode "Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C. from The Andy Griffth Show (480i, 28:09): The episode that debuted the character and concept. Includes the option to play the episode alone or with the "Sales Presentation" which is also included separately (see the next supplement below).

Sales Presentation (480i, 2:39): Jim Nabors introduces and closes out the episode, as is optionally seen with the episode above.

Season One, Disc Two:

Audio Commentary: Ronnie Schell, who played "Duke" on the show, discusses the first episode on the disc, "Gomer and the Dragon Lady."

EXTRAS 📀 : D

FINAL GRADE: B-

Clocking in at 3786 minutes, this is one box set that viewers both young and old can sit around and savor together for literally hours and hours. Even with the lack of extras here, this release gets my 100% recommendation. They don't make them (comedies) like this anymore.

Gomer Pyle U.S.M.C. Blu-Ray Box Set is now available at Amazon.

New Korra picture book

Based on Airspeed's last video, it looks like there will be a new Korra picture book coming in 2027 (!?) that will be along the same vein as the ATLA Heart of Hero picture books that have been coming out. Interestingly, the author for the upcoming Korra picture book seems to be a travel writer so not sure if they have the wrong author listed. Here's some more info from the listing:

On Sale Date: May 4, 2027

ISBN 9780316408110, 0316408115

Hardcover Picture Book |

40 pages

$18.99 USD, $23.99 CAD

Juvenile Fiction / Action & Adventure Key Selling points:

THRIVING FANBASE: While Avatar has been off the air since 2008, and Korra since 2014, their fandom has continued to thrive—and GROW! This is in part due to the recent roll out of both series on Netflix. LASTING MEDIA ATTENTION: The shows continue to get lots of love in the media with frequent articles and inclusion in roundups:

Avatar ranked in both Vanity Fair’s and IndieWire’s respective 2018 lists of the best animated TV shows of all time

The final scene of Korra ranked in io9’s 2018 list of the “100 Most Important Pop Culture Moments of the Last 10 Years.”

SOCIAL REACH: The shows have over 6.7M followers across their social channels and almost 800K subscribers on Reddit. Their creators are also avid posters, and they frequently talk about their passion for and continued involvement with the brands. PERFECT TIMING: There will be a new live-action Avatar series likely coming to Netflix in 2022. Also, with 2020 being Avatar’s 15th anniversary and 2022 being Korra’s 10th anniversary, it’s poised to be the “The Decade for Avatar!” PUBLISHING: Avatar has a thriving reader fanbase, too! Dark Horse has been successfully publishing original graphic novels that target teens and adults since 2012 and has no plans to stop—in fact, The Promise, an Avatar graphic novel, recently hit #6 on the NYT list 7 years after its publication! The Kyoshi YA novels, recently published by Abrams, were each instant NYT bestsellers and continue to grab attention. In 2021 the publishing category will continue to expand to include a new Avatar YA series, a new Avatar MG series, and a new three-part Korra graphic novel series. CONSUMER PRODUCTS: Multiple lines of business are planning on ramping up their product, including more presence at mass, expanded collectibles, homeware, and retail initiatives at specialty stores like Box Lunch and FYE. Existing CP includes apparel, a trading card game, video games, LEGO sets, toys and stuffed animals, homewares, additional publishing, and home video that has generated over $18M since 2015 in DVD, Blu-Ray, and Steelbook formats. Avatar is a consistent top 10 item at both Box Lunch and Hot Topic. DUAL APPEAL: With its eye-catching design and original content, we expect these titles to appeal to existing adult fans who want to collect and share with their children while also providing an entry point.

You can find the whole listing on the Edelweiss website.

Happy 25th anniversary Halloweentown! This year is full of anniversaries. Hocus Pocus turned thirty. Nightmare before Christmas turns thirty.

Ray Bradbury's The Halloween Tree animated movie turned thirty. Neil Gaiman's The Sandman turns thirty-five. Beetlejuice turned thirty-five. And today the movie Halloweentown turns twenty-five-years-old. Feel old yet? Halloweentown (not connected to Nightmare before Christmas) struck while the iron was hot, just one month after the first Harry Potter book was published in the US. Halloweentown was a relatively low budget made for TV movie for The Disney Channel (and now available both on DVD and on Disney+.) The plot was about a young girl named Marnie who is about to turn thirteen. Marnie's mother wants her to be "Normal." But her grandmother, Aggie, has other things in mind. Marie is actually from a line of semi-immortal (long lived) witches. And if she does not start using her powers at age thirteen, they will atrophy and disappear and she will remain mortal. Even back in 1998 I was disgusted in Marnie's mother. Imagine if you went to an alien planet where the life expectancy is only about thirty years but your mother decides its best you be like those aliens so she keeps you from learning you came from Earth and eating Earth food so that you will only live thirty years "like everyone else on this planet." To me that's what Marnie's mother was like. She was deliberately crippling her daughter. Or worse, imagine if you went to a planet where no one can walk. You can. But your mother wants you to be like everyone else so she's perfectly happy to saw your legs off. That's how Marnie's mother felt to me in regard to trying to strip her of her (for her) natural abilities. It's not over-analysis. This is the basic premise. Anyway, it turns out Aggie (the grandmother, who was played by the late Debbie Reynolds) is from a pocket dimension of entities we associate with Halloween. Monsters, creatures of Nightmare, ghosts, zombies, skeletons, etc. This dimension is called Halloweentown.

Marnie and her other siblings follow Aggie to Halloweentown where they foil the machinations of Voldemort... I mean Kalabar. There's even a scene in one of the Halloweentown movies where they spot magical broom sticks for sale very similar to the scene in the first Harry Potter story. In the scene Marnie is intrigued by the latest model (which is a bit more high tech looking than a nimbus 2000, by the way). This was three-years before the first Harry Potter movie but only one month after the first book was published in the US. Marnie embraces her magick and her mother begrudgingly allows Aggie to train her in the use of her powers. The movie was a surprise hit for The Disney channel and spawned three sequels. Halloweentown 2: Kalabar's revenge which featured Peter Wingfield (Methos in Highlander the Series). Marnie's mother annoyed me in the second movie too, because when someone is shown Marnie's room he's disappointed with how mundane it is and Marnie mentions that her mother insists her room be "normal" and she not have her Halloween-y or magical stuff in her bedroom. They tone the mother down and make her more likable in the third and fourth film but they really never had that woman grow and yet we were not supposed to hate her. This dominating, personality-repressing, and abusive behavior was treated like it was perfectly acceptable. Halloweentown 3 AKA Halloweentown High. This was an odd one. Marnie becomes guardian for some exchange students from Halloweentown who want to attend human school in our world (now that our world knows Halloweentown exists) but modern day monster hunters want to fan the flames of bigotry and hate and keep humans and monsters separate.

Halloweentown 4 AKA Return to Halloweentown. Marnie (who has been recast) attends university in Halloweentown where the boy she has a crush on is revealed to be a depowered family member of Kalabar but a good guy. I really was not comfortable with the idea of the entire family being stripped of their powers because they were releated to a creep but ...okay... Also Marnie learns that Grandma Aggie technically should be the Queen of Halloweentown but relinquished her title and a magical amulet that lets her dominate the wills of others, because she believes in the importance of free will. For all their flaws I still enjoy these movies. I almost think these films were first intended to be live-action tie-ins to Nightmare before Christmas but Disney decided they didn't want to deal with Tim Burton and just didn't reference any of his characters even though the concept of a Halloweentown in another world where everyday is Halloween was literally created by Tim Burton in his long-form poem that became the movie Nightmare before Christmas. Anyway, Happy 25th anniversary Halloweentown!

The story I heard about the Eva Translation stuff is that a couple years ago, their was a Con event premiering one of the movie's dub. It was one of the raucous things where it was supposed to be a group activity more than a simple movie viewing, a la Rocky Horror Picture Show. The Japanese execs were in attendence, and were unfamiliar with that kind of thing, so they thought from the crowd's reaction that the dubbers had made gag dub. As a result they started demanding much more strict, literal translations for future releases

I hadn't heard about this, but I could see something like that happening. I don't know if that led directly to the Netflix version, but I've been purposely avoiding looking into the issue with that just so I wouldn't get spoiled. And since Episode 24 was a surprise, I guess my patience paid off.

I should take this time to add that I'm planning to also cover the two movies that followed the TV series: "Death and Rebirth" and "End of Evangelion". At first I had no idea what to do with all of this stuff, but then I found out they made the movie to satisfy fans who complained about the ending of the TV show, so it seemed like I should check that out just to weigh in on that controversy.

In case anyone was wondering, I won't be doing the Rebuild of Evangelion movies, mostly because I only have one of them on Blu-Ray, and I'm pretty sure it's not the first one. I probably saw it on sale at Target back in 2021, and I was sort of hoping I could collect the whole thing on home video that year, but then I realized they were never going to do a DVD release and I need DVD's to take screenshots.

Anyway, the watching order for NGE is virtually impenetrable for new fans, partly because the actual starting point is the TV series, which has been almost impossible to find for almost twenty years. But also because "End of Evangelion" isn't the last one, and the actual last ones have a silly numbering system. I may check them out in the future, but it won't be in April.

Current Animation Fandom: An Angry and Massive Rant!!

Hey, it's me, Aniket!! I am so Sad and Angry and Mad about the last weekend, after the news broke out that Star Trek: Prodigy is Cancelled at Paramount+, and Removing the series on there, and S1 Arc II not returning to premiere on Nickelodeon US!! It was a Heart-wrenching News for all the trekkies and animation fan like me!! Then after that, Petitions are made, DVDs and Blu-rays were sold out, Toy sales were up, despite Yesterday, Paramount+ removed the Series, on the eve of Showtime Merger in US!! But Today, it's also sad day for me, Again!! Because, Today, Paramount Plus removed my Favourite Nick Jr show, which was the best after Oswald ended, Peter Rabbit, among other Nickelodeon shows and Movies!!

The thing is, now, Nickelodeon don't want us to enjoy the shows that we love!! All they care about is those shows which are successfully Cash-grabbing from the esteemed target demographic audience from age 2-11!! Gone are those days, when people watched and adored Avatar: The Last Airbender!! And Today, I'm Massively Ranting those Corporative Studios like Nickelodeon and most importantly, Current Generation Animation Fans, who are responsible for all these debacles!!

In my 23 Years of Human Life, I have never Encountered a Humiliation from Current-Gen Animation Fandom and those big big Corporative Animation Companies, until the cancellation of Star Trek Prodigy broke out!! And I will tell you, they aren't the Same Animation Fans I know for 23 years or so!! They care about those shows, which are Popular, despite of those shows gone in decline and downfall for last 2 or 3 seasons, not those Gems like Star Trek: Prodigy and all!! And those shows are Cash Cows, back then at first 2 or 3 Seasons, they were good!! But some Money-Greedy Showrunners messed around the lore of their respective series and manipulated the Animation Fandom that this is canon, this is actual canon!! Then the Fans of the shows, blindly believing them, while some of them were frustrated, ended up leaving the fandom of the show he/she/they loved once upon a time!! I'll take Two Shows as Factual Examples!! And Believe me, these fandom of those shows are toxic and they do not care about other shows!! Troll me hard if you want, criticise me if you want, but all of them are Facts, you cannot change that!!

Starting with Very Juvenile one, i.e. TV-Y rated Show, preschoolers show!! You've guessed what I'm talking about!! PAW Patrol!!

This Nick Jr. Show, has now being immensely popular for the toy sales and everything!! It was good for first 2 or 3 seasons, until Spin Master screwed up the series lore for more toys sales and merchandising!! It's going on for 10 years dated back in 2013!! They even produced a theatrical Movie in 2021, namely, PAW Patrol: The Movie, which was decent good, imo. And they even gonna release a sequel of the movie coming in this Fall!! But the condition of the fandom of this very series is not good at all currently!! These are from an Honest PAW Patrol fan's thread tweets in support of this argument!!

Now, you realised!! Those Fans are Toxic!! And Do I have to remind you about the unnecessary romantic shippings of this series, for example of Chase x Skye etc?? Do I have to??

And that too from a Preschool series, which has a massive fanbase, all over the world!!

And because of PAW Patrol, no other preschoolers series have a chance to get a Spotlight!! Even, Bluey have got comparatively slightly lower fanbase than PAW Patrol fanbase!! Is it just unfair or not?? And because of PAW Patrol, other Nick Jr shows aren't doing well in Viewership, despite of being Good!! They are just booted to lesser known Nick Jr. Channel or just ended the run, that's it!! (And Rubble & Crew, the spinoff of PAW Patrol, isn't my cup of tea, honestly)

And for the Second Instance, while I have to say this, but if I say that show's name, everyone will charge upon me and rip me into pieces!! I know, but who cares!! That is Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir!!

And I know, as you reach it there, you're now just ripping me in pieces! But lemme explain!!

This French Animated Series was good for 2 seasons!! It had the same Potential as I had with Star Trek: Prodigy!! But, the Showrunners, Especially that Egoistic Thomas Astruc (I have dare to say him that, because he blocked me on Twitter more than a year ago) destroyed this series for nothing!! He doesn't know what he's doing!! He's leading to destroy the lore, he wants nothing but your money through Merch sales, just like PAW Patrol is doing!!

And the fandom of this series is as toxic as hell!! They are blindly following this series, despite not knowing what's going wrong with the series!! Because of them and Thomas Astruc, just like PAW Patrol, other shows, in TV-Y7 rated Shows, especially, can't get any chance to shine!! If you observe the data of Nielsen Ratings for US television, Miraculous Ladybug and PAW Patrol were among those shows to have much bigger audience!! But not other shows, especially once dominating SpongeBob SquarePants on Nickelodeon!! Speaking of Nickelodeon, I wanna state that Miraculous Ladybug is not a Disney Channel Show, it's a Nickelodeon Show, just sub-licensed to Disney Channel in order to save SpongeBob, because Nickelodeon US and TFOU by TF1 in France (the original broadcaster of Miraculous Ladybug) is having a Tie-up!! It was first aired on Nickelodeon in US!!

Now, for the sake of Animation Gods, is it right for you to compare some egoistic creator, who blocks everyone on Twitter more than the CEO of Twitter, Elon Musk, as "Bigger than Walt Disney" by making a Worldwide Phenomenon?? Because I think it's not right!! Because Miraculous just wasted the potential!! And don't talk me about the Shipping, which is the driving force for this series!! All of the shippings are wasted potential!! And the Story goes on and on for 5+ seasons, there is no resolution, and Thomas Astruc is thinking for going up to 12 seasons!! Why not go for 100 seasons, 50 TV Specials and 10 Movies and beyond, and still have no resolution, huh?? What's the problem?? Just realise, These Fandom aren't letting any other show than Miraculous and PAW Patrol to get the spotlight!!

Miraculous Ladybug and PAW Patrol are now being the reason why I hate this Current Animation Fandom!! This is not the Animation Fandom, I know for 23 years and this is not the Animation media I know for 23 years!! You cannot ignore other shows just to focus on One or Two Popular Animated shows!!

Imagine, being a Tom & Jerry Fan focusing on Tom & Jerry only but not equally treating other cartoons such as Mickey Mouse or Looney Tunes or Animaniacs!! It also applies for vice-versa!!

You know, This Current Animation Fandom don't have any sense, what is a Good Show and what is not!! They only follow the Popular ones whether being good or bad!! They should learn the "Rights and Equality" to Animated Series and Movies, whether they like it or not!!

That's why Velma, being a worst show from Scooby-Doo franchise, renewed and set to premiere for Season 2, but not Star Trek: Prodigy or other gem series!! Same goes for Miraculous Ladybug and PAW Patrol and SpongeBob SquarePants to some extent!! They don't give other shows any bare chance to flourish!!

I don't know, but Star Trek: Prodigy hasn't been canceled by Tax Write-off mainly, tax write-off is part of the reason!! The main reason is that current Animation Fandom's Negligence and irresponsibility to save other series!! And then they will be glad and celebrate themselves, because they have done this horrendous work to cancel other series, which were gems, and call it as their "Major Victory"!!??

This is the same method why, The Owl House got canned by Disney!!

In my opinion, I think the only thing to resolve all this blasphemy, is to STOP supporting animation until things get any better!! This is the only thing I can see to Save Animation as an Artistic Media!! Because Animation is indeed an Artistic Media, not a Financial Media!!

As of now, I'm renouncing as an Animation Fan, until things get better, for a while!!

Because, Animation Industry now have set a rule, that if any series is not getting any appreciation or attention from Animation Audience, not getting into the level of Miraculous Ladybug, PAW Patrol, SpongeBob, The Loud House or Teen Titans Go!, That series will get automatically canned, no matter what!! This is not the Animation Industry/Fandom we want!!

Two months ago, The Owl House got canned, now Star Trek: Prodigy won't be returning for S2 and canned at this moment, this Friday, Bubble Guppies ending it's 12 years long run!! And if we can't take any action right now, your favourite show will be next!!

Be Warned, Be Respective, and Be Responsible!!

2023 is NOT the Best Year for Animated Kids TV Series!! It's Worst!!

I'm Out of here!!

Sorry, for the long Post!! But I want to get it off of my chest!!

Thank you for reading this far!!

What Law & Order Thursday Could Look Like Next Season as Organized Crime Moves to Peacock

Could a Criminal Intent Reboot Be the Answer?

Coming off the heels of my recent post on the current state of the franchise and the news that broke earlier this week (via The Hollywood Reporter) - Law & Order: Organized Crime has a deal being made to be renewed to run a fifth season, exclusively on Peacock for 10 episodes, the first time an L&O series will air first-run episodes on a streaming service. NBC has yet to announce any plans on the 3rd hour of Law & Order Thursday, which begs the question is: what will Thursday nights look like next season as there will likely be a void in the 3rd hour without another L&O series in its place?

NBC's newest arrivals, Found and The Irrational could potentially be scheduled on Thursdays in the new season. NBC also has two dramas, Dr. Wolf and The Hunting Party, set for next season, with two more drama pilots: Suits L.A. (spinoff from USA Network's original series, Suits) and Grosse Pointe Garden Society — in the works. Meanwhile, NBC could also acquire rights to air Canada's CityTV's version of L&O, Law & Order Toronto: Criminal Intent (10 episode 1st season) -- which hasn't been renewed for a 2nd season as of yet.

But from a Law & Order franchise/Wolf World perspective, this is a chance to see if there is another new iteration of the brand that can be in addition to the already robust brand as Wolf's worlds continually build themselves (the FBI franchise on CBS as well as One Chicago on NBC Wednesdays - which all are renewed for the upcoming season).

We all know pilot order spin-offs Hate Crimes (co created by Criminal Intent and SVU executive producer Warren Leight, originally posed for Peacock) and For The Defense (co created by CSI veteran executive producer Carol Mendelsohn) went to the back-burner and never became series. Also Wolf has the True Crime iteration (co creator L&O and CI executive producer Rene Balcer) of the brand that while isn't canceled in an official capacity, NBC hasn't shown recent interest in seeing it go on. Then there are 3 canceled former spinoffs; Criminal Intent (ended in 2011), Los Angeles (ended in 2011), and Trial by Jury (ended in 2005).

In interviews (one here via TV Line) and across social media, former stars Vincent D'Onofrio (Det. Robert Goren), Kathryn Erbe (Lt. Alexandra Eames), Alicia Witt (Det. Nola Falacci), and Annabella Sciorra (Lt. Carolyn Barek) as well as former executive producers Warren Leight, Julie Martin, Norberto Barba, and Michael Chernuchin - who all reunited as executive producers on SVU - have shown or voiced interest in a TV reboot of some kind. Star D'Onofrio stated on Twitter/X that the decision to reboot would ultimately be up to creator Dick Wolf but that he would love to reunite with Kathryn to do it.

The question is: would a Criminal Intent reboot be worth it for Wolf Entertainment/NBC to reboot and/or would it suffer the same fate as Organized Crime?

The answer? Yes. It would be totally be worth it for all involved. While stating the obvious, it brings our old favorites back into a new era of television and showing that element of the criminal mind and "why dunnit" in this new age that we live in, and of course the number of new jobs created as well as old jobs reopened; to this day Criminal Intent has something that Organized Crime hasn't, and that is syndication rights with a solid following still tuning in (even after the show has been off the air well over a decade)!

It is a factor that helped reboot the mothership series back in 2022 after NBC canceled it in 2010, the solid audience of syndication viewers (i.e. TNT, ION Television, WEtv), sales from home entertainment (DVDs/Amazon) and streaming services (Peacock) aided in NBC making the decision easy to reboot the flagship Law & Order series. And while the reboot isn't NBC's highest rated show, it's in the top 20 and performs pretty solid, enough to score a full 22-episode twenty-fourth (S4 of reboot), season next season. It also proves to be a great lead-in for SVU (renewed for S26), that comes on right after.

And much like the reboot and even SVU which has reinvented itself more than once over it's 25 seasons, not only could old viewers return, but this also opens the door to introduce the series to new viewers as well, especially if our favorites do make a return on screen.

What do you all think? With Organized Crime going to Peacock, could a Criminal Intent (or other spinoff) reboot help revitalize NBC Thursday nights as well as the franchise? Or is it time to try something new with the brand? Sound off!

So Ive decided to splash tumblr with my hobby of updating everyone about fandom events~! If you missed anything fandom wise, this blog will catch you right up to speed! November - December 2022

1.) Given Square Calendar

Kizu-sensei is once again releasing a personalized calendar for 2023! She shared about releasing a calendar last October after sharing a colored art version of an older art. Saying she desires to make a calendar again for the following year. She also shares of a new art for Ritsuka by tweeting out a speed up video of her digitally painting, which you can check out here!

On the 1st week of December, Japanese shops such as Fromangee and Comicomi have tweeted about the calendar opening for pre-orders. Hilariously, this has seemingly caught Kizu-sensei off guard, stating she hasnt even started drafting the calendar yet! Ending with her replying to her own tweet with links to different stores that are open to reservations 😭 I’ll leave comprehending those emoji’s to yall sdncbas

According to ComiComi, distribution of the calendar will start on the 31st of December (Arrival dates will vary). Check it out at their store, here!

2.) Given Nendoroids

After years of begging Good Smile they have finally heard our wishes! On the 26th of November, Orange Rouge has released the prototype for Ritsuka and Mafuyu nendoroids! More information is to follow, but people suspect them to release close to the end of next year. Check them out at GoodSmile’s ‘Autumn Collection 2022′ gallery by clicking here!

3.) Given Movie English dub After a well received English dubbing of Given season 1, featured on Crunchyroll back in August, the team had opted to release a physical version of not only the 1st season but of the movie as well; featuring the same cast as the 1st season dub. On the 15th of November, distribution of the dvd’s started; And just recently, people have been receiving their packages; with once again only having good things to say!

As of current, the movie is not available on Crunchyroll but is available for purchase on Apple TV - $14.99, or rent for $3.99. Physical copies of the dvd is still available for purchase at Crunchyroll store which you can check out by clicking here!

4.) Given GORORIN The Gororin’s are back! After the distribution of these cuties on November 26, Medicos have decided to put them up for sale at their physical store at Shinjuku~ Available for purchase as a set of 6 and/or a single character via blind pull (you wont know which one you’ll get!). They’re available as long as stocks last! If you want to get your hands on these plushies but is far from Shinjuku, try checking your local proxy or Mercari website! For more details, check out Medicos website by clicking here!

5.) Given Anime on air! Given is broadcasted once again! Airing on the following dates in December at ABEMA anime LIVE 2 channel, following another great anime by Noitamina. All episodes of Given will be broadcasted starting on +9GMT Sunday at midnight, Monday at 1am till 5am, and on Tuesday 5pm till 10pm. All episodes will be available to watch on December 11 from midnight till 11:59am. Click here to access the link to the broadcast. Links are only available during the aforementioned time slots!

6.) Chapter Update: Hiragi Mix_20 The 3rd chapter of Volume 9 has released leaving everyone utterly emotional! People have been on their toes ever since the release of Dear+’s chapter preview, leaving everyone wondering if this chapter would finally be the resolution we’ve all been waiting for

Kizu-sensei shares of receiving her copy of the latest Cheri+ magazine, as well as a copy of her portion of the series! Highlighting the upper right text which roughly translates to “The sound that he and you gave me is running around inside my body"

She also reminisces her feelings regarding the day she submitted this chapter. Saying how it’s one of the longer chapters, as well as hinting of how tired she has been

This wouldn't be the first time sensei has shared her struggles before releasing an upcoming chapter, with the latest one about how she has drawn 6 fingers instead of 5 in one unspecified panel

With that being said, The next chapter update will be on March instead of January- A well deserved rest for sensei to fully enjoy the holidays after much hard work! She isn't leaving us hanging however, as Given vol 7 english translation releases on the 10th of January. Dont forget to get your copies and give chapters 6-7 a good binge (re)read~! For those interested in reading or getting their copies of Cheri+ magazine (the official magazine serialization for Given chapter updates, and more BL series!), check out CDJapan here while stocks are available! Or wait for the digital copy of the magazine to be available in roughly a month from the physical magazine release

✨ Whats Kizu Up To? Here’s some silly Kizu-sensei thing(s) that happened that I have no idea where to put so I’ve made a short segment right here kjsdasd-- Sensei was doodling during a meeting again 😭 sdcasdc this time on a screen that was shared with a person who was in charge (manager-san?)

And, thats it for Nov-Dec AAAA!! Share your thoughts, wishes, reactions, and tell me if I’ve missed something~ Also tell me if I should continue doing these hehehe, I always do this on twitter but in a more sporadic way~ Tumblr’s long but also fun! Happy Holidays everyone!
