Well, good ol’ Netflix decided not just to make our newsroom explode with a plethora of announcements, but they completely destroyed it to the point that it is now unrecognizable. This means we’re going to have to take some time to rebuild it and strengthen it a lot more, so this will be the last new episode of the year, but fear not – for we have a PACKED show this time around! All of the big Netflix announcements, Funimation’s new “first dibs” deal with Hulu, the next step in Adult Swim/Crunchyroll synergy, some surprising new home video releases, the rounded-out cast additions for the Broly movie, and even a little bit of live reactions from The Game Awards thrown in as well.
Thanks for making 2018 a great year for the show, and we’ll catch you back here for season 4 in January.
