I know all the movies are technically canon but funny how Two Heroes is among the most pivotal of the bunch going into this final season #MyHeroAcademia

An insanely bonkers copyright nightmare that had me dying of laughter all the way through. Matt Johnson and Jay McCarrol have done it again!

Super fun panel. Glad I took part in one of the mock auditions.

Love seeing Aussie voice actors thrive.

Honestly kinda crazy & impressed they decided to dub this.

Shame Umbrella decided not to wait it out & release their Blu-ray first so unless there's a miracle it wont be on there #AngelsEgg

God this was incredibly fun. I swear I was gonna die of laughter from this. Brennan and the players were crazy in the best way.

Attended SugoiCo's premiere screening of #100Meters last night. Truly an exhilarating film, the rotoscoping work was insane. That one continuous shot in the rain was a wild flex.

Yeah, combing over her timeline of anime dubs (and discounting the older stuff that got new dubs later) that definitely does seem to be her first leading role. Pretty cool

Jonathan @jrpictures.bsky.social · 9d

Good choice!

Jonathan @jrpictures.bsky.social · 9d

Then what the hell are you doing directing a Tron movie then?

Maybe this guy should stop taking Disney sequels under his helm. Cause no one sure as hell likes or fondly remembers Pirates 5 and Maleficent 2

Director Joachim Rønning says that many of the easter eggs and classic callbacks in ‘TRON: ARES’ were actually Jared Leto’s idea.

Good, now hopefully if we ever get another #Tron movie in who knows how many years from now, we can pretend this one didn't happen AND not have that creep anywhere near it

Cosmic Marvel @dailycosmicmarvel.bsky.social · 9d

‘TRON: ARES’ has earned $14.3M in its opening day at the domestic box office.

For comparison, ‘MORBIUS’ opened to $17.3M.

Neat looking cast, fingers crossed this comes down under in some way. #VirginPunk

Also neat little full circle moment for Xanthe Huynh, when one of her earlier anime roles was the lead in Kite Liberator

To be clear, I'm not knocking the team on this, it's just exceedingly clear that Liden Films is juggling a lot. No wonder this has such a weird release schedule where eps 1-6 drop weekly until October 31 and then eps 7-12 release weekly from December 26 #CatsEye

Jonathan @jrpictures.bsky.social · 10d

I'm enjoying the new #CatsEye anime but boy are some of the scenes rough around the edges.

Even just a simple scene of Hitomi giving a glare makes her look a bit cross-eyed and her & Toshio look a bit off during this car scene

Hitomi, looking forward, but her eyes don't seem aligned with each other.

Yeah I'm not dignifying #Tron Ares with a watch in any way. Won't see it in theatres, won't even pirate it.

I wanted a follow-up to Legacy directed by Kosinski and featuring Cillian Murphy like what was originally promised

Not a vanity project for that sex pest with the worst marketing campaign.

Kawaii Bitch @mewmedic.bsky.social · 12d

Humanity has a chance to do the funniest thing possible and not go see TRON: Ares this weekend. If we can all unite on this planet for one singular reason, let it be this. I need this movie to bomb so bad, dude. It would bring a small moment of joy for me, please.

Still a big fumble from Crunchyroll to give this a sub-only one day screening days before Chainsaw Man dominates the screens. God knows how long we'll be waiting for a dub/blu-ray afterwards

Hurts to say that bloody Prime Video treated KyoAni's other work this year with way more respect #DragonMaid
