So let me get this straight, She-Ra was made by Netflix for their service and yet it is going to be leaving that service soon and there is no legitimate Blu-ray of the show or any physical release of the show, so the show is just going to be gone? And yet somehow it's illegal to just pirate it?

With Anime World Order Show # 249 – Alpakata Combines the Skill of Capoeira With the Kill of Alpaca, it's a brand new year (but not quite a brand new animal) as I review the somehow already five year old TV series Odd Taxi (or ODDTAXI if you prefer).

It’s a brand new year, but not quite a brand new animal as Daryl reviews the somehow already half decade old TV series Odd Taxi. Since it’s something of a mystery series, we’ll no…

I couldn't ask for a more succinct explanation
You can test new tech ideas using the Seinfeld Test

Would the product eliminate the plot of an episode? (Google maps, cell phones, paypal, battery packs)

Good tech.

Would the product inspire new Seinfeld plots? (NFTs, AI chatbots, crypto currency, blindboxes, metaverse land sales)

Bad tech.

Crunchyroll has allegedly rolled out a new "Slow Sellers" policy for the Crunchyroll Store in which products that fail to meet internal sales expectations are flagged, leading to order cancellations & delisting of product to prioritize "fast selling" products from Well Known IPs

Queen!
Today's anime #wcw is Major Motoko Kusanagi from #GhostInTheShell #StandAloneComplex. She's Section 9's squad leader with one of the most advanced cyborg bodies. While a certified badass, she can also be a bit light-hearted with her team, trading jokes and stuff. 🍷 #VintageAnime #Bandai #Kanpai

It's never a bad a time to rewatch the Pokemon anime, especially since it's all available for free on YouTube.

Reminder: a major draw of the first anime cons was “come to our event and you can see a whole season of star blazers, a show that is not on commercial videotape and might not run on TV again”
