About

Welcome aboard this double-episode train ride, where we have brought some friends along for the ride to partake in a scenic route journey with several big stops along the way. In this first of two episodes, a show that was quite literally TOO BIG to just be one, our good friend Sketch joins us as we take a look at the state of anime production in 2021 (hint: it’s not great), lament yet another film adaptation doomed for the pile of development hell, wonder when MAPPA will finally get some sleep when they’re not preparing the world for Chainsaw Man (and not a certain movie), and even discuss the merits of the reasons for an immediately-cancelled manga’s demise.Stick around for the second half of this double episode, where we finally sit down and discuss a little movie called MUGEN TRAIN. And most importantly, *WATCH ODDTAXI.* It’s GOOD. And it won’t let you down unlike a certain show that turned rotten. intro – WATCH ODDTAXI5:55 – let’s talk about anime production in 2021 (re: Record of Ragnarok and Crunchyroll)30:09 – Demon Slayer: The Hinokami Chronicles game releasing in October35:57 – Azuki manga service has launched38:06 – Crunchyroll has “less censored” Demon Lord Omega episodes39:21 – So I’m a Spider episode 24 was indefinitely delayed42:37 – Saga of Tanya the Evil S2 confirmed45:07 – Magia Record S2 premiering July 31, S3 end of 202147:32 – Fruits Basket finale thoughts50:16 – Fruits Basket will continue with a new project54:27 – Made in Abyss live-action film in early development58:31 – GKIDS acquires The Deer King film (Production I.G.)59:31 – Eleven Arts acquires the “final” final Gintama film1:05:01 – a fifth Strike the Blood OVA is confirmed for… someone1:05:34 – takt;op set for the fall season1:11:28 – Chainsaw Man gets its PV and crew1:19:43 – Mari Okada’s next film being helmed at MAPPA1:22:27 – where is Ice Adolescence?
