Studio Trigger got the rights to Gurren Lagann from Gainax.
We may not necessarily get a Season 2 for PSG though.
I'm excited and worried at the same time if this means we'll see a new anime project for it.

Gurren Lagann is my favorite anime of all time and I thought the ending wrapped things up beautifully, so I'm not quite sure how I'd feel about a continuation, but at least it's nice to see the rights in Trigger's hands now.

British TV in the 90's use to have a lot of awesome gameshows which include Roy Walker's version of Catchphrase, Bruce Forsythe's Generation Game and the Gladiators. In addition, the children's tv shows were also at its best back then and what we got now does not match with what I watched back then.



Too true. Those kind of shows had been on the UK TV screens for many years and I believe it was Pop Idol which started all of the reality tv show trends which for me it gets really tiresome after a few series.
And you have forgotten the likes of The Crystal Maze, Robot Wars, Scrapheap Challenge, It's a Knockout etc. And to be fair but kids shows died with Tracy Beaker.

Also you forgot the horrendous abominations known as soap operas like Eastenders and Coronation Street. I swear if all those were banned the intelligence of the 20-40 low chav parents group here in the UK (and Ireland) would go up by 10% at least.
I mean all those plots is the same through and through.

3 more days till Monster Hunter lets GO
I've never played Monster Hunter but I'm now very tempted to get the game after playing the demo. A bit too slow at times for my liking but I'm enjoying.

And of course Proof of a Hero is amazing:

MTG club is starting up this week....
I'm not sure if I should bring my Tergrid deck, considering that the entire gameplan is stealing my opponent's stuff(which is a big no no right now with Covid) but i'll try anyway. Maybe should bring some disposable gloves and another deck just in case.

Ah yes, I used to watch Crystal Maze a lot (the one with Richard O'Brien) and I was always fascinated by the puzzles. Robot Wars is another classic show which I started watching since the second series back when it aired on the BBC. Its a real shame that the reboot lasted for three seasons which is why I turn to Battlebots in which several of the Robot Wars competitors competed. John Reid (Terrorhurtz) teamed up with Gabriel Stroud (Sabretooth) for this seasons Battlebots which surprisingly got knocked out during the round of 32 by Ribbot.

For me, kids shows pretty much died when they introduced their own dedicated CBBC Channel etc which meant it no longer takes the afternoon slots on the mainstream channels.

To be honest, I'm not exactly much of a fan of British soap opera shows and I don't usually watch them despite the fact that the likes of Eastenders and Coronation Street going on for many years.

Gonna chill with some Laid-Back Camp before I take a small nap for work tonight.
Don't forget the ramen. It always works with ramen best.

Only thing British TV has every really had going for it all the time has been comedy with from Faulty Towers to Red Dwarf to The Office. Double that for Irish with Father Ted. That I can say.

Soap operas are an abomination on British TV as it's all the same. I mean after seeing how bad some of the acting is and the plot is so recycled. Get rid of them and reality shows and maybe the quality will start going up again.
I don't care if this guy saw his cat bite it's own head off when he was 15 that inspired him to do drumming, just get right to the point.

Speaking of British TV, do you have an opinion on Doctor Who?

I can't. Twitter is so bad now because Tumblr migrated en masse after the porn ban with bots blocking anything that vaguely resembles a buttcheek.
Your post make me remember that some peoples were banned/got warned on Tumblr due to posting normal pictures of Garfield.

Also to finally throw the rest of it out but when it comes to places in the UK filming wise, Game of Thrones has been done to death and I'm so glad its over.

On another note most local radio in the UK is pretty great except for when the play the songs and the exception of one station.

Doctor Who is another exception though I've heard recently it hasn't been as great.

It was never my thing but I did like David Tennant on his acting as the Doc from what I saw compared to the others.

White women on twitter after stealing art to make a gijinka blackView attachment 308352

Btw, **** like this sends back progress from actual black artists, and only increases the hate and harrassment torwards them, so don't do that.
Not only that, they edited a JAPANESE artist’s work. And people wonder why JP artists avoid westerners/private their Pixiv...

10/Tennant is considered to be the best doctor by many for a reason, and one of them is his brilliant acting.

I like a lot of the modern doctors as well, but Whittaker's era really dampened the storytelling. Season 11 was forgettable, and while season 12 was pretty good to start out, the finale is so awful and twists the main character all kinds of sideways that it leaves many of the fans scratching their head, such as myself.

If you were to try out one season, season 1 or season 4 of the modern series you'd probably like, at least for the most part. But if it's not your thing, that's fine. It's certainly not for everyone since it's a quirky sci-fi show.

As a longtime fan, it was fantastic until Chibnall became showrunner. I could write a thesis on the stuff that's wrong with it.

Hey TMNTSSB4 TMNTSSB4 you may wanna put that under a spoiler box or direct link it to avoid getting warned for censor dodging
didn’t even get that original post shown until after you brought it up...these people sneaking up even when I don’t want em
Bruh, I ****ing hate the "I FIXED YOUR ART" mfs. Annoying as hell white saviors.

And this is someone who headcanons Knuckles as black.
I didn’t think we’d get any worse than when people tried to shame an artist for drawing Rose Quarts with a slim body (before her major reveal)...or everything bad with Nessa...but they always find a way to be worse and worse

besides...I don’t remember any black person asking for a “respecting white person” to try defending us, so idk why she’d try to pull that card as an excuse
Twitter is Tumblr 2.0, change my mind
...you right
Society would be vastly improved if we got rid of Twitter
or at the least the dumbasses ruining it
I can't. Twitter is so bad now because Tumblr migrated en masse after the porn ban with bots blocking anything that vaguely resembles a buttcheek.
makes me wish old Tumblr was back. I don’t need stupid **** like this getting in the way of my normal Twitter uses
Your post make me remember that some peoples were banned/got warned on Tumblr due to posting normal pictures of Garfield.
...cause of course Garfield would be an issue for Tumblr during their dying days
He’s too sexy
you’re not wrong

Twitter is worth keeping around if only for the art.

Everything else can go.
I use it to plug my streams and any other content I create too

Though... I feel uncomfortable sometimes plugging things that aren’t my streams lest someone take it the wrong way or whatever

I’ve blocked TONS of “those types”. TONS.

The lasagna he eat are too hot for Tumblr.

Btw folks, if any of you need some chill musics, I recommend this one.
Omori soundtrack is a blessing, but this one is just "=w=" inducing.

I only use it to occasionally check news feeds, cause unfortunately most game devs(both card games and generally) like to post updates to twitter first, and sometimes only on twitter.

It's not exactly something I would want to use on a daily basis. The UI is so confusing....
