If specific details have ever been revealed, they haven't been translated into English. The only words we have directly from Hosoda are "Unfortunately, I didn’t get along with the staff on an artistic & logistic level."

Mamoru Hosoda's path certainly hasn't been blocked by Miyazaki.

Poor ol' Starchy's probably autistic now.

Interesting that BMO's comfortable walking around the city on vis own now, considering ve was so frightened about being away from the tree fort just earlier this season.

Ending was way too obvious on this one. So much so I'd hoped it was a red herring like with the fingers in "Five More Short Graybles".

Now I know how a meatball feels.

The review repeatedly emphasizes how much more intensely kid-friendly and lighthearted the new series is, but, uh… the Teen Titans ate… like… at least a few dozen people baked into pies.

Are you thinking of the play "Life Is a Dream"? I've suspected the beginning of "King Worm" may be a reference to the play. Someday I'll get around to asking on Formspring.

Not much of a threat considering he's blind.

They probably used up all their Innapropriate Points for that episode on the verse, "Our favorite foods / They're all dead / They can't procreate in little food beds."

(The someone who asked Sanchez directly was me, even.)

I never believe the Adventure Time.

Yep. I think that movie in particular showcases Hosoda's penchant for creating strong characters out of minimal screentime. The minor characters created for the movie were just as entertaining as the Straw Hats.

Actually, I forgot: the Amazing Stories episode "Family Dog" probably counts.

CN's standards and practices are very confusing. Words like "freakin'" and "sucks" are OK but in "Ghost Princess" they weren't allowed to say the word "murder". In "Simon and Marcy", the episode featuring a little girl and an old man who is slowly becoming insane as they wander an apocalyptic wasteland and fight…

This is probably as good a place to bring this up as anywhere:

If your source for the summer premiere is Wikipedia, I wouldn't trust it as it isn't cited and I haven't found any other source confirming it. I'd love to see the premiere as early as summer, but I'm not holding my breath.

And we all know how strapped for budget that show is.

Whaat? Steven Universe was always slated for this year! It wasn't delayed, was it?

The funniest thing about the Clambulance was imagining what that thing was like before the war.
