[Terminator]
A few days ago, Netflix announced that it had ordered an anime based on the "Terminator" franchise. So far, we do not know much - the project is at an early stage of development, the plot is in the process of being developed, the animation studio is the responsibility of I.G. Mattson Tomlin will be showrunner and executive producer, and he has collaborated on the script for Matt Reeves' upcoming movie "The Batman". As for my opinion - finally! This brand has a chance to look great in this form. I just hope they don't repeat the mistakes of the filmmakers and the show will have a less repetitive plot and focus on things that fans have always wanted to see (war with machines, which was reportedly shown on average in 4 or 5 parts) or at least something different than we have seen so far.

[Shaman King]
Speaking of Netflix, we also learned that the streaming giant purchased the rights to broadcast "Shaman King" outside of Japan. However, we do not know when exactly it will be streaming, the release date is 2021. The first episode will air in Japan on April 1. By the way, we also got a new trailer and the anime is going to be pretty cool. I only saw 2, maybe 3 episodes of the old series, but I stopped because I prefer to read the original first (or at least its faithful or fairly faithful adaptation, like "Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood"). I would love to watch this anime.

[Oscars for anime?]
On March 15, we will know 5 titles that will compete for the Oscar in the "Best Animated Film" category. As for the Japanese "nominations for nominated titles", these are: "Demon Slayer: Mugen Train", "Earwig and the Witch", "Lupine III: The First", "Our Sound", "Ride Your Wave", " A Whisker Away ". I do not know the last 3, so I will limit myself to the first 3. On Monday I finished Season 1 of "Demon Slayer" and although I liked the final episode, I found the anime to be average. Story-wise, it is slightly better than DBZ, but weaker than Bleach, not to mention OP, HxH and Naruto. In terms of technical issues, it's a beautiful job, but apart from that, it's a bit of a weak title dressed in a golden packaging. "Earwig and the Witch" - I do not like Ghibli films, but I respect and appreciate their outstanding artistry. I will probably watch this movie, but I'm not sure if I will like it due to its disappointing ratings, at least from the US. As for "Lupine", well ... My ambitious plan to watch everything from this franchise has got a bit derailed because it has too many series and movies, and the time is running out, and the rest of the series, anime and movies are not diminishing, so I will he had to limit himself only to the best. Nevertheless, this movie looks really good in trailers, I will definitely watch it when it hits the Internet in good quality. As I know life, it will probably win in this category "Demon Slayer", due to the fact that it has become a worldwide phenomenon. It is a pity that this global phenomenon is not due to the quality of the comic itself, but very good anime. All in all, let him win, at least I will laugh at the fanboys of this fairy tale saying that this is an outstanding xD title. It would be nice if "Soul" won in this category, because it just deserved it.

[Censorship Paranoia Agent]
How it makes me laugh. English people don't mind artificially sexualizing children, which causes so many unplanned pregnancies, abortions (which made some girls sterile - I read about it when I ate kebabs in one place when I lived in Maidstone), they don't mind disgusting programs in their television, such as "Housewifes of ISIS". They are disturbed by the "Chinese fairy tale", in which there is a bit of brutality. The world of clowns xD. And I highly recommend the anime itself, if you haven't seen it yet. A brilliant title about psychology, human fucking and mental problems.

The manga "Chainsaw Man" is becoming more and more popular. I suspect the stats will improve even more when MAPPA releases their anime. The manga ended with volume 11, which went on sale the previous Thursday.
