Who else watches Solar Opposites? I personally enjoyed the new season. In the final episode did anyone else think that...

...the human version of Yumyulack looked like his voice actor Sean Giambrone?

So I was kind of put off by the Netflix live action version of Cowboy Bebop, though marurun seemed to like it. I have heard some good things about their take on One Piece though. I'm wondering if I should check it out, though I've never actually seen the One Piece anime. Anyone have any thoughts? I personally think live action anime can totally work even though some people find the idea abhorrent. I've enjoyed the Rurouni Kenshin films, and I started watching Blade of the Immortal not long ago based on a recommendation by Ack, and it seemed pretty good. I have to go back and finish that now that I think about it.

Recently finished The Golden Girls and its spinoff The Golden Palace and then started another watch through.

Also Star Trek: Lower Drcks is back with a new season, the Tiny Toons reboot hit Max recently (three episodes and I don't hate it but it's no Tiny Toon Adventures) and I'm revisiting season 5 of Young Sheldon.

Most live action anime adaptations are trash. Netflix's attempts have mostly been abysmal. That said, One Piece was a nice surprise. I would watch a season 2.

I'm gonna give One Piece a shot

I'm also curious about the new Castlevania Nocturne series, the Ahsoka series, and the John Wick spinoff The Continental. Maybe I'll check these all out this weekend.

The new season of American Horror Story aired last week. Apparently it's based in the book "Delicate Condition" and revolves around an actress trying to get pregnant only for strange (and supernatural?) events to follow.

I've been hooked on the x files. One of my favorite shows ever now.

I still didn't complete Babylon 5 pilot "The gathering" but so far has a nice premise (is this the correct word?). I am not sure why they thought putting ugly looking creatures on TV as aliens was a good idea but I kind of get an upset stomach looking at their bone-full heads. They should have gone with something closer to Spock from Startrek imo.

3D effects are amazing for the time. I am not sure if I am underestimating CGI on computers that were like 33Mhz but Jurassic Park was a 1993 release , so...
