So, uh... yeah! The new Reanimated collab such as "FLCL Reanimated" has came out as of FLCL's 25th Anniversary!
This is genuinely a celebration to the OVA and it's fanbase since 2000, and rewatching it now feels so refreshing for how they build up on this, no joke! I'm gonna congratulate everyone and i mean EVERYONE who worked on this project, the animators, background artists, video editors, etc. and especially the collab organizers "shleptboi" and "pyrhaeschii"! OH, forgot to tell you that i animated my part for the project! i mean it was a few years ago, but it was small tho.
BTW, If ya haven't seen it yet, go give it a watch! This right here is peak collab project!

Okay, i'm gonna say here that was an amazing Nintendo Switch 2 Direct showcase i've ever seen in years!!! I said this before on my last journal and it's going pretty well, i can't say much about the console since i already talked about it before but i am gonna bring up the GameChat cuz they brought it back from the Wii U but... nothing else like Miiverse...? whatever... at least they have some improvement and i might check that out, so for now let's get into games! So A LOT of new games and remasters/ports are coming to the Switch 2, especially new Open-World Mario Kart game, Kirby Air Ride (or Riders), 3D Donkey Kong Game, a spin-off Hyrule Warriors game taking place during Tears of the Kingdom, New chapters of Deltarune + Finally Hollow Knight: Silksong after years of radio silence, and everything else i'm all in to look forward to! and seeing third-party games coming to the Switch 2 since the graphics and frame-rate is getting better and better as we seen in Direct! and see we got Elden Ring, Hades, Street Fighter, Cyberpunk 2077, Final Fantasy 7, Yakuza, etc. i think people with the new Switch 2 are gonna love playing this on the Switch 2, but.... for other people... they can play it on any other console if they don't care if they're getting ported on the Switch 2, i mean... they're not wrong. As for the Gamecube? definitely! MANY people with subscription will have a blast playing old classic gems back in the 2000s, especially with F-Zero and Wind Waker, and for the new comers? they'll have their best first impressions playing old games on the Switch! That was such a great event that got people a bunch of hype since Nintendo Wii back in 2006, and they'll probably surpass that when it launches!
Welp... those are the positives on the Switch 2! So... what turned me off on the Switch 2 after the direct? Okay, for starters... the marketing by first impressions since the PS3 and Xbox One has been ass! >_<;
As of this journal, history kinda repeats it's self after a last decade, i've already been through this mishaps when owning an Xbox One instead of a PS4 years ago, i am not about to do that again, so... at first... let's start with the pricing...
The console is cost around $450, i mean it isn't bad but it should've closely got the PS4 treatment if they didn't screw up like the Wii U again, but just looking at the price is a dissappointment out of them all, and the games (especially exclusives) starting with Mario Kart World is..... EIGHTY FUCKING DOLLARS...?!?!?! WHAT??? Do we have to pay this much money for this game...??? this is overpricing by AAA standards this generation and it's gonna get even worse for future games pricing that high, maybe the new Donkey Kong game and the new Kirby racing game??? What was Nintendo banking on...??? UGH... the agony of this gaming company are making a same mistake as the PS3 E3 presentation, we are not going through this again...
And the Game-Key, okay this is probably different from the retail copies, but we're still getting that, but for the Game-Key for some copies, there will be digital downloads tagged in the box... Y'know we can still buy retail copies and... this is just padding if they think we don't buy retail games anymore, i mean c'mon Nintendo... you're better than this, and you couldn't give us a break from all the disasterous impression from last decade?
I know everyone thinks the Switch 2 might surpass the first Switch with improvements and the Steam Deck, but to me...? This is the Xbox One equivalent of the Switch 2, as people used to lambast on the PS3 due to the massive pricing of the console no matter what storage sizes and the Wii U because the name doesn't sound right like with Star Wars: The Phantom Menace title as they were mistaken the whole console for just one add-on for the Wii, and as for Switch 2...? yeah, it's just Xbox One n' PS3 of the Switch 2 by first impressions, and i don't want to pay so much money for that upgraded hybrid console, so i'm just gonna hesitate from buying it, and just play off Deltarune, Silksong and most likely Sonic Racing Crossworlds on my Steam Deck when they're out since the Switch 2 pricing is abysmal.
If they listen to the feedback like with Sony's PS3 pricing in 2006, then i'll probably change my mind... for now... i just don't feel like playing on the Switch 2, maybe for now... if the Switch 2 suffers it's marketing like with the Wii U again... i'm afraid they'll drop the console marketing to third-party like with Sega Dreamcast, i don't want THAT to happen and... i doubt they'll drop it, and if they listen to their audiences, then... the Switch 2 will do well... so... i'm proly not gonna buy it, i'll just stick around with my Steam Deck for future anticipated games there.
Welp... those are my thoughts on the Nintendo Switch 2 so far. If you're excited for the new Switch 2, go ahead! have a blast! Maybe they'll own up to it soon, and i heard Gamestop is trading-in the first Switch towards the Switch 2 for up to $175, so it isn't a bad idea, so... i'll might check it out. So for now... i'll just work on something else in mind.
Good morning, everyone! So about two weeks ago, i watched The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie in theaters, and that movie was true 2D cinema, i'm talking comedy gold cinema as Ketchup Ent. and the crew respect it's franchise and the characters, especially Daffy Duck and Proky Pig, they're the best part of the movie, and i wonder if that movie does good at the box office since the budget is way smaller than other fuckloads of blockbuster films we have a LOT of fatique of, because it's for the die-hard Looney Tunes fans and the 2D animation fans who REALLY want a comeback of the 2D animated films after a decade cuz Hollywood does not give a fuck about them anymore and they relied on CGI, aside from that, if the movie get well respected enough then they MUST revive Coyote vs. Acme out of the vault, right? ......right?
Well... About a few days later... ugh..... WBD (especially Zaslav) removed the entirely of the Looney Tunes franchise off of Max, yep... those assholes pulled a fast one... and they're about to be disbranded out of the studio like the rest of the others, i reckon they assumed nobody cared about the franchise anymore since time's moving on but does that mean we're losing all hope for the movie and the franchise as a whole...???
Heh... not really.
When Ketchup Ent. were in the talks with WB about aquiring Coyote vs. Acme, i was surprised they're gonna distribute the film, i was a bit nervous if WB declines and then... they did something once people have been praising for a year, and it's a good ending in fact that the movie has been aquired by Ketchup Ent.!!! YES!!!!! They finally saved the shelved Looney Tunes movie after a year of spreading the word of releasing the movie, and ya gotta thank Ketchup for the big win, and well... hopefully the movie will be out in a year as expected, and i can't wait to see it! and if they aquire Bye Bye Bunny, i'll be looking forward to that as well, if possible. Well... speaking of aquiring shelved movies, i wonder what other distributors should aquire Batgirl, Scoob: Holiday Haunt, etc.?
Yeah... that's all i'm bringing up the news for the morning, hope y'all have a good morning!
