The most miraculous thing to come out of the Disney buyout is it got people looking back fondly on the prequel trilogy. That's amazing lol (I actually unironically really liked episode 3 Revenge of the Sith though).

That's true. Even I think Phantom Menace is masterpiece now compaired to what Disney came up with.

I remember my friend saying after we watched Rise "Remembering the prequels is like remember that time you broke your leg as a kid. While the sequels are like that time you had both legs amputated!" Or something along the lines of that haha it was very prolific.

It's purely nostalgia. The prequels had a younger fan base on release that didn't know or care for the original trilogy. Those fans have now grown up. Star Wars has always been corporate - creative decisions in the original trilogy were influenced by how many toys they thought they could sell. Nothing has changed.
I have high hopes. The animated series have, in recent years, seemingly had more creative freedom than the live action properties. The Blade Runner anime (admittedly a Sony property rather than Disney) were quite good.

It always been corporate sure and George Lucas pretty much went insane towards the end with his edits but at least it had a consistent direction whether people liked it or not (I like episode 3 as I said).

The Funimation app on my FireStick had an update. Haven't watched anything on it since though to see if it better or worse.

Still doesn't look great though if it uses proper subtitles like the Chromecast app instead of closed captioning it will be a major improvement.Funimation has revealed plans to bring their trainwreck app onto the Nintendo Switch but this time it's been redesigned altogether.

Funimation app redesign can only be a good thing. They couldn't possibly make it worse, maybe I'll actually get to use it.

It uses the PS5's built-in closed caption stylings, so you can customise them (even though they look slightly different on the PS5's demo page and in the app). The default was for thick black borders (YouTube style) so I was pleased to see the integration. I can't remember how it worked on the PS4 any more.

Looks like it'll be a fun series. Wild that this is directed by Mamoru Oshii
Yeah, was just about to post a link to the YT video here. Decent first episode and it's gonna be interesting to see where the show will be heading. Was a bit surprised about how "slow" the tempo is since the PV released not too long ago was so hectic I thought that the show could've given Excel Saga some competition as the "most hysterical anime ever". Not that I complain as I like this tempo more.

As hysterical as Excel Saga can get I think that crown has to go to Teekyu.

Quite a good first episode. Haven't heard of this before is this a JP company trying a new distribution means or will it actually be on other streaming platforms?
