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.

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.

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!

Found a link which announced season 4, "Science Future" will air in 2025 with three cours.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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!!

Hi guys! Been a while! I show up to work as usual and do my normal schtick. Then a producer asks me if I have any problems. I asked why and he said my edit partner wasn't there and his replacement would be in around 4! After a choice naughty word, I got to work in the earlier hour my partner would have worked on - but didn't miss anything. Apparently my supervisor sent an email about this (which was buried amongst a ton of other emails that don't even pertain to me!) but didn't bother to follow up with a text about this to make sure. It's not like he hasn't texted me in the past about things like this before. I was also surprised my edit partner didn't text me either as when we left, he was prepared to come in as usual. I blame my supervisor more however.

I wondered about this too (did the manga mention it? I hadn't read it but I'm seriously thinking about getting it). My guess it it was the device being almost out of juice and therefore a very limited range. My question however was how Senku was able to wear that stun gun device (specifically, the battery plate taped to his chest) without being noticed! He was knocked off the cliff with Tsukasa and dragged him to shore before facing Hyoga and he wouldn't have had to time to either carry it with him or put it on ahead of time. The stun gun scene was worth it though!! I've been watching the show a few times and still enjoy the hell out of it! Each time I notice something different I had missed the first time around. Some of it has to do with spotting Senku's emotions. In Episode 6 when he digs up Taiju, you see a closeup of his eye. It has that look that says, "I'm so glad to see you buddy! " before he puts his cool science user face on and starts claiming how sick he was of his face and how 3700 years was a nice break! Does anyone else think that Senku's desire for manpower (a legitimate need) was second only to wanting to revive Taiju because he needed a friend/company in Stone World as well?

I decided to sign up at crunchyroll just to take in this show. I freaking love it!! I have no clue why this isn't as popular as other shows that were released around the same time like My Hero Academia et al. It's a compelling story with great characters and makes even the most passive person interested in science and how things work. One thing I love is how the stakes are high, and not everything goes the way the folks at the Kingdom of Science wants them to. It's realistic in how the science and progress builds upon itself. Not to mention the philosophical questions this show inspires! Would you be able to do what Senkou did if YOU were the one to wake up after 3700 years? Would you make the same decisions he did? Was Senkou right about trying to bring everyone back and make things more or less as they were - or was Tsukasa right when he wanted to limit who to bring back? I saw a recent story that the final season of the show will be released within a year or so - which is supposed to wrap up the story (which includes Senkou's plans to go to the moon to find out about Why -Man).
