The Rotten Rat getting its filthy mittens on Anime, more than likely to bestow its now-infamous brand of "tender loving care" upon it like they did with Star Wars and Marvel and Willow and Indiana Jones and many more, fills me with dread for this most-Japanese art form and story telling. By no means is this immediate distrust uniquely relegated to Disney; every American studio has had a terrible track record on this front, be it animation or live action: For every Alita or One Piece, there are dozens of examples of complete (on many levels) failures.

General 1/18 Scale Figure and Toy Thread
mechaninac replied to sh9000's topic in Anime or Science Fiction

Octos and Cheyenne would be very nice too... Major pipedream; we all know those will NEVER happen; heck, we're still waiting for the Tomahawk and Phalanx from OG Macross to see the light of day.

Captain America: Brave New World - February 14, 2025
mechaninac replied to sh9000's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Since there are no examples of their not having F'd up or severely diminished IPs/studios they've acquired, some immediately, others after a few outings, and even their own legacy stuff (Snow White being their latest abomination) gets plundered, I'd posit that it's much closer to always than usually. Disney is a content singularity. It consumes everything it can in order to grow and, in the process, shreds everything it eats into unrecognizable particles.- 113 replies
