COVID-19 is still extremely widespread with no mitigations being taken in much of the world. Official numbers are being significantly underc

I’ve been very frustrated by most people not knowing even basic info about the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, so I made https://basiccovidfacts.com to be a simple resource that you can send to the many who aren’t informed about masks, Long Covid, risks to immunocompromised people & more.

If you’re someone who doesn’t regularly mask you need to make sure you know these basics about the world around you right now.

Nickelodeon to expand 'Avatar: The Last Airbender' with creators — first up is an animated film

Nickelodeon has launched Avatar Studios to create content based on the world of 'Avatar: The Last Airbender' and 'The Legend of Korra.' Get all the details, including the first project.

Nickelodeon is launching Avatar Studios, a new division to create original content spanning animated series and movies based on the world of Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra, the network announced Wednesday during ViacomCBS’ Investor Day presentation. Original creators and executive producers Michael DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko will lead the studio as co-chief creative officers.

The first project is already lined up: an animated theatrical film set to begin production this year.

In an exclusive statement to EW, DiMartino and Konietzko expressed their excitement to “develop our franchise and its storytelling on a vast scale, in myriad exciting ways and mediums.”

“It’s hard to believe it’s been 19 years since we created Avatar: The Last Airbender,” they said. “But even after all that time, there are still many stories and time periods in Aang’s world that we are eager to bring to life. We are fortunate to have an ever-growing community of passionate fans that enjoys exploring the Avatarverse as much as we do.”

“And with this new Avatar Studios venture we have an unparalleled opportunity to develop our franchise and its storytelling on a vast scale, in myriad exciting ways and mediums,” they continued. “We are exceedingly grateful to [Nickelodeon president] Brian Robbins and [president of Nickelodeon Animation] Ramsey Naito for their enthusiasm and respect for the Avatar property and us as its stewards. From the start, they’ve supported our ambitious plans and created a positive, proactive environment for us.”

DiMartino and Konietzko concluded, “We’re excited to be back at Nickelodeon where Avatar began, doing what we do best in the biggest way possible. We can’t wait to build the great teams and productions to make all of this fantasy a reality.”

…The studio’s output will debut on platforms including Paramount+, ViacomCBS’ subscription video on-demand service; Nickelodeon’s own linear and digital platforms; and third-party platforms and in theaters.

We just finished our Ghibli Rewatch podcast series, which I was really happy with. Going through all the Ghibli films again was a ton of fun and although ranking them is dumb, I wanted to have my thoughts on all of them written down. The tiers are simplistic but I think this is pretty close to my overall thoughts on them after having revisited each one in extreme detail:

[The best movies ever]

1) Spirited Away

2) Princess Mononoke

3) Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind

[Also right up there as some of the best movies ever]

4) Castle in the Sky

5) The Tale of the Princess Kaguya

[Seriously these are also in the top 50 films of all time]

6) Whisper of the Heart

7) Kiki's Delivery Service

8) My Neighbor Totoro

[Miyazaki’s “worst” movies are still better than almost everything else]

9) Porco Rosso

10) Ponyo

11) Howl's Moving Castle

12) The Castle of Cagliostro

13) The Wind Rises

[Takahata’s films are brilliant works of art]

14) Only Yesterday

15) Grave of the Fireflies

16) Pom Poko

17) My Neighbors the Yamadas

[The non-Miyazaki, non-Takahata films are still great each in their own way]

18) Arrietty

19) From Up on Poppy Hill

20) When Marnie Was There

21) Tales from Earthsea

22) The Cat Returns

23) Ocean Waves

Mike and Bryan have left the Netflix live-action Avatar series

I was actually pretty optimistic about this series with Mike and Bryan at the helm but now of course not :( I really wonder what the key creative differences were that Netflix was trying to dictate and Mike and Bryan couldn’t tolerate.

Just wanted to voice my support of your last rWBY podcast. Everything you said had to be said. I so appreciate the lens with which you critique and watch shows. Enjoy your freedom now!!

Thank you so much! Hope to enjoy RWBY more in the future without pods, we’ll see..

[dylvee]

Hi Dylan!! I’d like to thank you for al the rwby podcasts over the years. Ive been listening since volume 3, and hearing everyone venting their frustrations in such a funny yet caring way has always been one of the most fun parts of my whole rwby-experience. We’ll always have Big Chungus, cheers!

Thank you!! You amazing people are what kept me going on RWBY pods through the years. Cheers to the big chungus!

why does Miraculous Lady bug release episodes randomly out of order and in different country's like the most recent episodes released in the UK first the ones before that came out in Switzerland first. just wondering what the reason for such a crazy random release schedule is.

There is no reason! Zag seems to just make the episodes generally available and random countries air them when they feel like. It’s interesting that everyone seems to think there’s intent behind the release schedule at first, but it’s really just incompetence not intent.

[dylvee]

Just here to chime in that I’d love a Korra Ruins of the Empire pod! It could even be at the very end of the last release if that works best for people. I just love having the podcast to enjoy along with Korra content 😄

Noted!! Yeah maybe we could cover all 3 parts at once at the end.

Overly Animated is such a great idea! I love the podcast so much. Thanks for facilitating smart and thoughtful discussions (also shipping) about animation! Super fantastic content!

Thank you so much! <3
