Yeah, the OG anime is one 15-20 page chapter per episode.

Definitely understand the skepticism…but it’s going to be Studio WIT!

Yep - I’m SO excited for this.

Smug, ignorant, and stupid is no way to go through life, son.

…what does the live action show have to do with Toei’s year round anime adaptation, haha?

A) “The thought” is very explicitly to do an official anime adaptation with no filler and optimized pacing, along the lines of Dragon Ball Kai and FMA: Brotherhood.

The only project of his that could have used a continuation stopped being a possibility this week :’(

No matter how good of a job everyone involved did at executing the concept, fans’ instinctive traditions could only ever be “this is wrong.”

DBE is definitely overly harsh - the better analogy is the Tom Cruise Jack Reacher movies.

I can like Emmy Rossum without defending Dragonball Evolution, haha

…

…what does that have to do with The Lightning Thief?

See, I wouldn’t even try to play a game that complex on a console, if it weren’t turn based!

Is delightful…but was twice Annabeth’s age.

I feel like it’s hard to separate the scripts’ issues from the decision to age up the cast by 5 years, haha!

The multiple utterances of “Dammit, Frasier” in a 30 second period was fantastic.

And we ain’t even mentioned the funeral sketch!!!

“She thinks she’s a woman now” is the hardest I’ve laughed at an SNL sketch in years!

Yeah, their mom was a VP at a bank, haha!

I remember learning after HW died that he was a highly decorated fighter pilot…and that he had refused to let his campaign mention his service, even when the media was calling him a “wimp.”
