Looks great, I hope its as good as the last series

Holy fuck that trailer! If there’s a huge complaint from the previous series, it was the lack of classic castlevania tracks.

This new one takes place about 300 years later. So I do not think the old characters are going to appear. Its more of a spinoff

Think my only concern is the previous trailer went from showing too little to this one maybe showing too much, but we'll see.

Anyone watching Killing It on peacock? Really unpredictable dark comedy. Season 2 just dropped.

Amazon Prime Video to introduce ads to its programming lest you pay $2.99 a month on top of your Amazon Prime membership to skip them.

They join Netflix and D+ in ad supported subscription tiers.

I remember when streaming services started, the big pull was no ads who needs network tv!... full circle.

Amazon will lay off 9,000 more employees in the coming weeks, CEO Andy Jassy said in a memo to staff on Monday.

The cuts are on top of the previously announced layoffs that began in November and extended into January. That round totaled more than 18,000 employees, and primarily affected staffers in its retail, devices, recruiting and human resources groups.

There's a cheaper $8/month ad tier for D+/Hulu. Peacock's and Paramount+ ad plan $6. Netflix's ad tier is $7/month with some content locked due to licensing agreements. Amazon just being stupid and adding a surcharge on top of the Prime membership.

**carlweathers** · 2023-09-26 06:04

So is HBO/Max the hold out when it comes to not having an ad supported tier?

$10/month. I lost track of all the god damn services. There's too many of them.

I didn't see a thread, but just want to comment that the live action One Piece is SO FUCKING GOOD. Live action remakes, especially of anime, almost universally fail hard, but holy shit that may be my favorite TV show to release this year. I've never read the manga or watched the anime, but whoever they casted for Luffy is unbelievably good. Show feels like a crossover between Pirates of the Caribbean and Ted Lasso and I'm fucking here for it.

**Qalbert** · 2023-09-27 12:17

we've talked about it a bit in the One Piece thread in the anime section, I just posted the Honest Trailers video there last night actually, but yes I agree it was damn near as good as you could hope for in adapting One Piece, and certainly exceeded the admittedly low expectations
