Weird News
1:14:35: Ed Sheeran is now animated and is in a Pokémon video. Pokémon just does whatever they want apparently!
1:15:26: Some ads! Lupin the 3rd did a collaboration with McDonalds Japan, which was simple but effective; meanwhile One Piece: Red is getting a major spot in Times Square this weekend, so apparently Toei is going all out for this!
1:17:07: If you thought the NFT craze was over, think again because it’s still running strong in Japan, and Gonzo is involved with that, and also writing is involved too.
1:18:19: So when episode 11 of Lycoris Recoil hit there was an eyecatch with Chisato and Takina smoking a lycoris flower. But now some weeks later, that’s getting changed, likely due to concerns about someone actually trying to smoke it, which is very dangerous.
1:19:37: The Bra Men, er, the One Piece Gym will open in Tokyo’s Shibuya Ward January 13 (what, you can’t unsee it!); meanwhile, remember that all-in-one One Piece compiled book? Yeah, Shueisha didn’t approve of it. Needless to say, someone’s in trouble.
1:21:27: A story so weird and bizarre that when Helen sent this to Justin, she had no words.
1:23:29: Meanwhile, Justin had to send various Ice Cube in Friday gifs to Helen after reading that a mangaka got scammed out of her money because the scammer claimed to be Mark Ruffalo.
1:25:50: Justin also had to do the same sending a Friday gif to Helen after finding out that Fox News, Tucker Carlson, prosthetic breasts, and milk porn happened to be put in the same sentence. What does one say about this sequence of words???
