Leaked Pokemon budget information:

Pokémon Legends Z-A: 2 billion yen (approx. $13 million) Pokemon Gen 10: 3 billion yen (approx. $20 million)

For how much main Pokemon games sell on average, this is a budget designed to never have to worry about not making profit.

It was a great opportunity to speak with Pierre. MangaAlerts and I were wondering how Kodama came out of nowhere and snagged a big title such as Baki where many independent English pubs have to wait a few years to pick up something similar.

Make sure to check out the episode!

Walmart, Target, and other retailers are sending out an internal memo stating they will begin to round up/down prices to the nearest $0.05 beginning late 2025 to early 2026 as they phase out the penny

• Stores will continue to accept pennies until they don't have any on hand

I'd have to look at a few licensed manga series for an English release that got picked up in the past year, but I think I've noticed a trend in what's getting licensed.

Not a mind-blown situation but something I've had in the back of my head for a bit

The reddit theories about HiDIVE on the Oshi no Ko S3 news are hilarious 😂

#anime #oshinoko

WinterVenom @wintervenom91.bsky.social · 5d

To add, I wonder if Crunchyroll will add the previous season of Oshi no Ko just before season 3 releases? 🤔

That or they're making their own changes (i.e., script rewrites, redubbing, etc.) to the previous seasons before releasing.

That would be expensive AF to do

WinterVenom @wintervenom91.bsky.social · 5d

So Crunchyroll will be taking Oshi no Ko season 3 from HIDIVE....

Ngl, I'm surprised they waited until season 3 to do this and not try with S2 after how big S1 was.
