• The tenth season of Red Dwarf premieres in Foreign Land on Thursday, and OH MY GOD THEY'RE ALL SO OLD. I feel TR's resident RD aficionado Chris Cummins said it best: "I'm looking forward to this even though I just know it's going to let me down." I will say that this is probably the one time eve that a laugh track helps a TV series. Gazpacho Soup has a few more clips if you're so inclined.
• Viz is finally bringing over Inuyasha: The Final Act in November to DVD, Blu-ray, their Neon Alley online service, and reportedly Toonami might get into the gamne too. So if somehow you managed to sit through all 160 or so episodes of the first Inuyasha series and still give a shit about any of it but didn't illegally torrent the anime... well, you're in luck.

• The Walking Dead's new webisode series has begin, and the first installment is above. I haven't watched it, but only because I'm excited about Walking Dead season 3 and I'd prefer to stay that way.
I'm saying this as a long-time fan of anime with over twenty years under my belt and a guy who kept on raving what an awesome job Level-5 did for the Gundam franchise with Gundam AGE:
FUCK. INUYASHA!
FUCK INUYASHA! FUCK KAGOME! FUCK SANGO! FUCK MIROKU! DON'T fuck Shippo because he's underaged! FUCK NARAKU AND HIS WHOLE HAPPY DEMON GANG! FUCK EVERYBODY IN THIS SHOW!!
Never, and I mean NEVER have I ever seen a cast of characters so revolting and repugnant in terms of growth and likability that made me wanna puke! Oh, and the fillers! Dear Bruce Almighty, THE FILLERS!! And here I thought Dragonball was the king of this bullshit! I was WRONG!!
As a Gundam fan seriously disappointed by Gundam AGE I watched and enjoyed Inuyasha years ago. Not for the characters or story, but for the filler. You could turn on Inuyasha and most of the time you got exactly what you expected from that show, a fairly generic and inoffensive filler episode. Yeah, the cast sucked if you really tried to give a crap about them and the plot went nowhere very slowly, but I could turn it on and see them fighting some weird new youkai and get some enjoyment out of that. It's sure as hell not good, and I'm not gonna pay money to watch Inuyasha, but I can't really hate on the series because it's kind of inconsequential.
Walking Dead webisode wasn't terrible...but it looked and sounded like a webisode. I like the lead guy though. He was J.J.'s husband on Criminal Minds.
Well, in theory, Lister and the cat would have aged. Kryten's a bit wider, but covered up by robot-y makeup, and Rimmer . . . ummm . . . Rimmer's being simulated as aging to make the rest of the crew feel comfortable.Anyone? Anyone? Dang. They are getting old. I'll still watch it though.
@metazai Know if there is any way to watch in the US? I know it's not a BBC show anymore, so probably not going to be on BBCA. But will we be able to get it on Netflix or iTunes?!
/*eyes closed*/ The Red Dwarf actors don't look old and neither do I. The Red Dwarf actors don't look old and neither do I. The Red Dwarf actors /* opens eyes*/ Great Horny Toads!!!
