  1. Finally! Crunchyroll uploaded a subbed version of trailer number 2!
  2. We have another trailer from TOHO! There's also a date for the show's premiere in Japan - January 9th - but so far, no indications when it will be available here in the US (or when the English dubs will be broadcast). I'm also a bit annoyed that there isn't a dub or subtitled version of the trailers. Crunchyroll's YT channel should have that much! Still, we have a great adventure coming up and I cannot wait!!! This is the translation from the page: From the looks of things, Senku isn't the only one who can make guns and vehicles! Not to mention more of them and more sophisticated versions! Not to mention another girl added to the mix. The mangaka that the crew depetrified last season is along for the ride as well so his drawing skills must be valuable for mapping. ETA: there were two songs listed in the end credits of the trailer which may be the opening and end credits for Science Future; One is "Rolling Stone" by Breimen , the other is "Casanova Posse'' by ALI (Alien Liberty International). I suspect the latter is the opening credits tune, while the former will be closing credits - in keeping with the introspective nature of closing credits music.
  3. I happened to be watching repeats of 911 on WE (they seem to be showing the same bunch of episodes - like first 2 seasons!) when I caught a moment that bugged me. In, "They're Not coming to Save You", an earthquake strikes L.A. and of course various chaos ensues. At a local market, a near riot is about to break out and Athena is dispatched to deal with the problem. Turns out the store owner was accused of jacking up prices for cases of water - selling them for $100 bucks each! Understandably, Athena points out that's price gouging and it's illegal during an emergency. The owner responds that he's trying to prevent one person from buying everything at once. OK, he's got a point, but jacking up the price wasn't the only answer - he could have just limited 1-2 cases of water per person, not to mention limit how many people shall be invited into the store at one time to make sure no one steals anything or gets out of control. What does Athena do? She threatens the owner with arrest (dangling cuffs in front of his face) and demands he give a 50% discount on EVERYTHING in the store!! People are thrilled to rip the owner off (who has to take that loss) and Athena takes advantage by buying a candy bar for 50 cents before leaving. That's not right!!
  4. At last! Released earlier today, the newest trailer for Dr. Stone, Science Future!! It looks very promising! I can't wait until January! I just wish it was subbed or dubbed in English though.
  5. The fourth film (a total of 10 are in the pipeline!) in the series based on the manga about Japanese HS students learning to be superheroes. The movie is playing in both English dub and in Japanese with English subtitles (depending on preference). I couldn't wait to see it at my local theater in dubbed format and it was great! I preferred the 2nd and 3rd films in comparison, but it was still an enjoyable experience especially if you've been following the anime. The show just wrapped its 7th season and it's 8th and final season is expected to air about a year from now. One thing that really differentiates this from previous films is that we are already in the action (although you don't have to watch the series to follow what's going on) and we don't have much "calm before the storm" like before.
  6. An update on when Season 4 will begin!! This trailer announces it will air in January of 2025!!! Unfortunately, most of the trailer is comprised of clips from the past 3 seasons, until the final scene towards the end - which features a famous US landmark!
  7. Found a link which announced season 4, "Science Future" will air in 2025 with three cours.
  8. I used to wonder about that but the joke was always about how on the bubble Al was all the time. Technically, a salesperson on commission can make decent money. Of course Al wasn't what you'd call a banner salesman. In an early episode, one of his coworkers WAS a good one and lived a comfortable lifestyle in a plush bachelor pad. Plus, Steve and Marcy were not too high on the totem pole at work and both of them worked, so they were better off than Al to a degree but probably spent more on stuff than he did.
  9. Ditto! I watched 9 episodes hoping this show would get better, only to be bored to tears and refused to watch anymore. While I like most of the look of the show (like BTAS it's a retro universe of sorts) Paul Dini's talent is sorely missing here and Bruce Timm's contributions is questionable at best. Most of the female characters are blocky (why??) instead of feminine (I know there are various body types, but it was uninspired), Catwoman was odd, Batman is barely a character in his own show (not to mention how he treats Alfred!), and the Penguin was unnecessarily gender bent because.....? The voice work also seemed a bit dull to me. IMO, there had been better voice work done for these characters.
  10. True! Initially Audra was supposed to be a "kitten with a whip" type character (who compared herself to her brother Nick) but suddenly someone insisted she be this tame and sweet girl. Not that Linda Evans couldn't pull off both personas, but I think they wanted Barbara Stanwick to be the strong woman of the Barkley household. Incidentally, in her earliest appearances on the show, the character of Victoria Barkley was much softer and mentioned taking midday naps like the most genteel upper class women of the era.
  11. A little late but I'm here. Been watching on Toonami - I thought it was intriguing if not a bit derivative (Punisher anyone?), but what got me was the Ninja mechs that appeared. Higan was already a prima ninja but now we need mechs because... why? I've been watching the dub FTR. I like to focus on the action. the marathon of season 1 returns tonight on Toonami.
  12. I've been playing catch up on the show via Crunchyroll. Loved the characters, drama and character development. Now Season 7 is airing on Crunchyroll (only subtitles for now, I hear the dubbed episodes will come along in 2 weeks or so). All I can say is, goodbye Star and Stripe. We hardly knew ye.
  13. Had an interesting dream last night. I dreamt I was brushing my hair, and with every stroke, the hair looked more and more beautiful! It became shiny and just plain gorgeous! A very happy and positive dream. What could it mean? That I'm OK with things? Or something deeper?
  14. I totally understand this. I have found options which can be used if you can't get prescription meds. One is called Good RX - which makes drugs affordable even without insurance. I used it for a prescription my insurance wouldn't pay for. I also recommend natural alternatives. I go to this site a lot and have found viable health solutions there.
  15. Been a while! Much of the music I hear on the radio just bums me out! Then again, the top 40 hasn't been a thing for me in quite a while either! Much of the music I get into these days tends to be stuff someone turns me onto or via accident. I've been getting into J-Pop bands lately. Definitely didn't expect that since it's not even in English (some songs do have some English phrases in them however), but I've been enjoying the ride so far. The beats are strong and when translated, the messages are quite beautiful. A few times I've come across covers done in English which do their best to convey the message or theme of the originals. Thanks to an anime I've discovered called Dr. Stone, I've come to enjoy not only the show but the music used for its opening and closing credits! One of my faves is from the first season's opening credits, "Good Morning World" from The Burnout Syndromes. I cannot get enough of this song! It really gets you going! I have heard that some fans have been attracted to similar rocking tunes from other anime shows like My Hero Academia et al. YouTube can be a rabbit hole for stuff like this!!
