    BOFURI has been cute, wholesome fun, but as the second season is coming to a close I may be getting a little bored with it. I've started watching Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai, which ended its run this past fall. I'm a big Dragon Quest fan dating back to the first game, so I'm already invested in the aesthetic and general vibe. 100 episodes is a lot, though. I'm going to try to do three episodes a day all the way through.

    I just finished up a long-overdue rewatch of Haruhi, so sane is definitely not what I'm looking for right now, lol. I'm looking for more hijinks.

    Denzel Washington has joined the cast of Gladiator 2.

    Hikaru, what's your take on BOFURI overall? Had it recommended to me by a friend, but I'm not big on "takes place in a video game" anime.

    Jon Kasdan has released a statement saying the show is essentially on an indefinite hiatus. He doesn't use the term canceled.
  6. Duke Togo
    I would be totally on board for this.
  7. Duke Togo
    This I 100% agree with. Small audience for it though, unfortunately.

    They're canceling shows that don't do well. Television networks have been doing this for decades. Would Willow have been given a second shot if it was part of a franchise like Marvel or Star Wars? Maybe, but it's not.

    The show has been canceled.

    How could they have known? They had already finished filming when Everything... came out. People would be complaining if the movie turned out to be a cameo-fest.

    Edit: Removed my post because it's not current. I fail at reading. The only new anime I've watched in a decade was Chainsaw Man. I'm not as head over heels about it as others, but I liked it well enough.

    The final episode of the first season was the one bit of the story I actually had clear memory of from the game. And it impacted my enjoyment of it.

    Release date got pushed back to May 30th.

    I read the headline and knew immediately it wasn't worth reading. Maybe the writer's TV isn't properly calibrated. I had no issue watching it.

    They should have led with the second episode. They could have dropped the first one all together.
  16. Duke Togo
    I've been rethinking this. Does the story need a full second season to tell the story of game 1, or just a few more episodes? Maybe 10 or 11 episodes instead of 9 would feel better. But damn, still a great show as it Is.
  17. Duke Togo
    Did this come out of nowhere, or is it just me? Color me skeptical.

    The show has been great, but with the end of the first game/story upon us, I'm really feeling that they should have done two seasons to tell it all.
  19. Duke Togo
    I have thoughts, but I really need a second episode before I can comment. Given the shortness of the episodes, I do think they should have given us two the first week.
  20. Duke Togo
    I didn't realize it was only 9 episodes. My first instinct is to ask if that's enough time, but they have done a dynamite job with this show up to this point, so I'm just going to assume they'll stick the landing in the first season.
  21. Duke Togo
    Chances are yes, but no official word that I've seen.

    Was Iczer One the third anime on the Books Nippan flier announcing Gunbuster and Dangaioh? Anyone remember?
  23. Duke Togo
    I sold my VHS copies of Gunbuster on eBay years ago. Sold all of my anime I had on VHS. It sold well, even though a lot of it was available on DVD at that point.
  24. Duke Togo
    So, we were paying, what, $30 per VHS? At two episodes per (am I remembering that right?). Which is $65 in 2023 money. The modern anime industry in the US was built upon our wallets.

    I currently have the old Bandai(?) DVD set, but have wanted to upgrade to blu-ray for a long while now. Like many, I was introduced to Gunbuster via the US Renditions VHS releases and it's been a favorite of mine for decades now. I still recall the flier I got from Books Nippan that listed the upcoming releases of Dangiaoh, Gunbuster, and one other anime that I can't recall. Dangaioh and Gunbuster were must haves because of Kawamori and Mikimoto.
