watching Danny Motta Anime Reactions has become a way to like. relive a bunch of anime I've watched and loved already, and maybe don't feel like rewatching alone. I'm watching his FMA: Brotherhood series right now, and it's wild watching someone experience Fulmetal Alchemist blind. I literally started the series in 2003 which is not intended as like some kind of "before it was cool" brag, because I feel like FMA hit the ground running, like I literally don't think there was ever a "before" with FMA, it was always cool and always a hit for as long as there was awareness of it. There's no way to really have that superiority because it's like... so hype that anyone who's gonna be into it kinda just needs to give it a long enough to chance to get into it and they're trapped, the only problem is that sometimes it gets so hype that people will avoid it due to the hype. Which is valid. Sometimes you can kill interest with hype harder than apathy.

Like the harder people recommend something the less you wanna watch it. that's a valid situation. It can be one of the best things in the world, but just because so many people love it can be the reason you have trouble watching it. That's been one of my main struggles watching Twin Peaks. I wanna but so many people love it so much that I just feel overwhelmed by it. (Plus it's now exclusively on Paramount+ and I feel like I should buy a box set instead and just have physical media, but I'm apathetic to spending money on it when I've been trepidatious to actually commit watching it.)

But watching FMA:B clips with the commentary of someone watching it for the first time is kinda bringing back that joy of having watched it for the first time. Even knowing Ed's VA is a creep I used be a fan of and met multiple times at conventions because I was a teen and that was a thing... That's something I can just purge from my memory because I'm watching through someone else's perspective. What early 2000s anime culture of that one voice actor being just the worst continuing for way too long? It's settled now maybe. I don't want to think about it. aaaaaaaaa

I'm going to think about Everything Else Instead. I wish I could take Romi Park from the Japanese version and everything else from the dub. I really enjoy dubs. I'm a sucker for dubs and weird localizations. I'm not sorry for that. I do think there are some things that are wrong for localizers to do, but some of the weird shit people complain about that are just quirks of dialogue or Westernization that still leaves the sub a completely valid option to turn to if you want that for the original interpretation I think is really fun. Dubs are for a Western Audience and will often have quirks and shit for a Western Audience that stays loyal in tone and subject, but adapts language usage and dialogue for a more natural feeling. "Bitches, Bros and Nonbinary hoes" is fine. I think Simulcast is hindering some of the intricacies of the localization process because it's like rush and crunch. but like... it's not "progressivisim" ruining anime. It's rush jobs and lack of research time. And maybe sometimes the fact that people have really strict views of gender that allows only for a binary of "Male or Female" so that one book about a man who expresses himself in female dress became a book about a trans woman because the localizer themselves had a strict binary view of gender roles and specifically made an error in interpretation which has caused a lot of problems based entirely on the fact that now there's a bunch of bullshit about gender roles getting argued when nobody has all the information and half the people having the argument are arguing over the actual gender queer people trying to point out that they would really rather not be the subject of your heated debate about whether femboy is a slur. like literally just be normal. We thought we were past whether it was okay for a boy to wear a dress but now suddenly that boy needs to be a girl and that's a lot of pressure and the opposite of like. what we wanted with the whole like. freedom of expression thing. that's not regressive. But that was like. One issue that got blown up way too big. Same with that one line about the Patriarchy in Dragon Maid. like.

Shit. It's a single fucking line that landed a little poorly. like. yeah it doesn't really work for the character. And some of the like. SJW stuff is a little clumsy but like... the way some people bitch about it online it's like localizers are just makin' anime all super 2012 tumblr discourse machines. But for the most part it's just... uh. Localized. Surprise. They make local references that's what localization is for. sometimes it hits, sometimes it misses. that's how it works. maybe you should watch some old ADV localizations and maybe you'll calm down. Those were fucking batshit and I loved them. Everyone talks about High School of the Dead's improbably titty physics, but what about it's fucking insane dub. "This is Dolce and Gabbana, you bitch!" or whatever that bitch's line was. Old School Dubs were wild, embrace chaos. It's fun.

Though I do prefer if they just use Japanese honorific systems. Whenever Japanese honorific systems try to get translated to something else it never works. It's a system that just doesn't translate to English well. Also sometimes with names I will give up pronunciation for sentence flow. I know that sounds blasphemous but sometimes when actors try too hard for pronunciation you can feel it like someone badly trying to shift gears in an automatic car. like they suddenly shift into a different language mid sentence and it's like... mmm should've practuced satubg tgat naturally in an English sentence a few more times because we went to a different tonal range for that one. like how if there's an English borrow word in Japanese they don't say it like an English word, they say it like a Japanese word? like... Sometimes you gotta figure out a way to work those syllables into an English sentence without breaking flow. I dunno how but it just hits like a truck when it doesn't. But that's my weird anime dub pet peeve.

Turtlethon Extra Slices: “Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue”

(CW for today’s post, which contains extensive discussions and depictions of drug use, as well as George Bush. Not that one, the other one.)

Before Turtlethon heads into season five, let’s take a step back to look at one of the strangest projects the 1987 Turtles were ever associated with. Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue was a half-hour anti-drug special produced by the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences Foundation and Southern Star Productions, which was simulcast across the big four US TV networks on April 21, 1990. For our purposes, it’s worth noting that this was a few months after season three of TMNT was first broadcast, and the live-action movie was topping the box-office at this point.

Funded by McDonalds, Cartoon All-Stars is an extension of the “Just Say No” campaign that was the brainchild of the Reagan administration. Those fingerprints are all over the home video release, which opens with a treacly and seemingly endless advertisement for Ronald McDonald Children’s Charities, followed by a message by then-current President George Bush and his wife Barbara that amounts to little beyond explaining the cartoon’s premise and re-iterating that drugs are indeed bad. (Subsequent TV broadcasts in Canada, Australia and New Zealand would replace this portion with a message from each nation’s respective big cheese.)

The show proper kicks off with the piggy bank of a little girl called Corey being stolen while she sleeps. Watching this from inside a comic book are The Smurfs, who march out into the real world to alert her. Also coming to life is the cartoon version of ALF, who springs forth from a picture frame. He in turn awakes a Garfield lamp, who for the purposes of the show is now the famous cartoon cat himself. When Garfield announces he’s too lazy to help out, ALF threatens to eat him. I’ve gotta say this pairing actually has pretty great chemistry. Alvin and the Chipmunks are also here and for the moment have nothing much to contribute.

With the aid of Winnie the Pooh – formerly a stuffed toy – the various cartoon characters wake up an alarm clock of Kermit the Frog, seen here in his Muppet Babies incarnation, who in turn interrupts Corey’s slumber. Slimer from The Real Ghostbusters then passes through the wall into the bedroom, and as he wasn’t formerly a toy or some other household item, I guess he may be the actual Slimer. If you’re wondering why RGB wasn’t represented by at least one of the actual Ghostbusters, keep in mind that this was during the period where network executives had decided to push Slimer to the moon, to that show’s detriment. The green ghost swallows a desk lamp made to resemble some fruit, and subsequently shines a light on the spot where the piggy bank is now missing.

The toons sneak into the room of Corey’s brother Michael and watch him smash the piggy bank, scooping up the money inside; as Corey herself soon shows up to confront him without their help, they’re really only here to provide running commentary at this point. During the domestic squabble that follows between the two siblings, Michael hides his stash under the bed, unaware that the various cartoon characters are hiding there. This leads to one of the special’s funnier moments as Simon of the Chipmunks confirms Michael is in possession of “marijuana - an unlawful substance used to experience artificial highs!”

Michael storms out of the house, and the assembled cartoons head off to confront him. Winnie the Pooh stays behind to pursue his own sub-plot, but makes a point of wishing the others good luck.

At the arcade, Michael hangs around with a group of Cool Kids™ and is egged on by a ghostly cartoon pusher called Smoke to try harder drugs. The sound of approaching sirens leads the kids to split up, with Michael fleeing into an alley. He’s confronted by a police officer who turns out to actually be Bugs Bunny. After briefly containing Smoke in a trash can, Bugs lectures Michael about his behaviour, leading him into a time machine. Meanwhile Michael’s father notices some of his beers have gone missing, and Corey is pressured by Winnie the Pooh to confess everything she knows to her parents.

Bugs transports Michael to the past, where everything is in black and white and people prominently wear their initials on their clothes to aid in viewer identification. The rabbit shows Michael how he picked up his current habit and goes back and forth with Smoke debating the risks and benefits of his actions.

Michael’s father is busy in the shed with his... “KLIY”(?) when Corey appears to further her own B-plot. She tries to tell him about Michael, but it doesn’t go well. Okay, enough of this, let’s get to the reason why we’re all here.

Michael has apparently been dumped back in the present day by Bugs, and is now hanging out with the Cool Kids again when they decide out of nowhere that maybe they could try crack. Smoke is also present to spur them on, and although Michael is hesitant, the others soon steal his wallet. While in pursuit, he falls into a sewer, where he’s confronted by Michaelangelo. As the animation for this special was handled by Wang Film Productions – who handled the visual oddity that was “Cowabunga Shredhead” - Mikey is bigger and puffier-looking than usual, looming over the other characters. He’s also angrier than we typically see him as he reads both Michael and Smoke the riot act. This segment ends all too quickly as Mikey yanks a giant plug-stopper out of the sewer waters beneath his feet, pulling the boy and his enabler into the drain below.

Michael and Smoke then find themselves on a roller-coaster ride with baby Kermit, Miss Piggy and Gonzo, who demonstrate the effects that drugs are having on Michael’s brain. After waking up in a park, Michael then encounters Huey, Dewey and Louie, who perform a song about the virtues of saying “no”. Some of the other characters who’ve appeared throughout the special also chip in to suggest excuses Michael could use to not take drugs; Michaelangelo eventually pops up to suggest “I’ve got too much homework”. (Mikey isn’t particularly well-drawn here, and has some funky-looking arms.)

Waking up in his bedroom, Michael is confronted by Corey, so I guess that last sequence may have been a dream, and the roller coaster scene was itself a dream within a dream. The two siblings bicker some more before ALF pulls Michael into a hall of mirrors, presenting a ghoulish reflection of the teenager which the alien insists is what he really looks like. All of this would be fine if it wasn’t for the fact that we as viewers can see that Michael does not in fact look like the Cryptkeeper, so the whole thing comes off as if ALF is gaslighting him.

ALF then guides Michael to a room where a sign on the door reads “THE MAN IN CHARGE”. Inside is a crude, boxy approximation of Smoke, who then jump cuts to his normal character model. Wait, did the animators just draw some kind of fill-in figure and then accidentally leave it in the finished show? Roy Disney said at the time of this special’s release that the animation was done in eight weeks, which seems implausible, but there’s no doubt from looking at it that it was a rush job.

Corey enters Michael’s room and discovers his stash, which leads to her having an encounter with Smoke. Winnie the Pooh warns her that he’s bad news, only to get thrown into a nearby cupboard. Meanwhile Michael is having a bad trip, imagining that he’s being chased by Dewey on the Roller Coaster of Death, or something to that effect. He bounces through some more nightmarish scenes as discordant rock music warbles, before finally winding up outside a “SEE YOUR FUTURE” tent. Inside is Daffy Duck, who reveals the fate that awaits him, as a zombie-like Michael is seen writhing on a table.

The “All-Stars” then assemble once more and everyone again gets to say their own little bit about the importance of not doing drugs. Michaelangelo materialises, looking somehow even worse than in his previous appearance, and chips in by telling Michael he’s excellent “just the way [he is] - without drugs!” I get what he’s going for here, but it’s a confusing statement as he clearly is currently very much “with drugs”.

Having finally had his big revelatory moment, Michael returns home and confronts Smoke, who’s in the middle of trying to win over Corey. The teenager hurls the ghostly villain into a garbage truck passing outside, and the siblings vow to be ready should he return. They’re cheered on by the Cartoon All-Stars, who apparently now all reside on a poster even though that wasn’t where any of them started out. Michael and Corey decide to “go talk to mom and dad”, and the lengthy credits abruptly roll. Just in case you forgot who ponied up the dough for all of this, the Ronald McDonald House ad runs for a second time at the end of the VHS release.

Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue has developed a reputation as something of a cult oddity over the last three decades and it’s not hard to see why. There’s an uncanny quality to the whole thing – the bizarre sight of The Chipmunks and the like talking in detail about drug use. The project is emblematic of the wider “Just Say No” and contemporaneous D.A.R.E. movements, as well as the wider War on Drugs ethos of the time, all of which hinged upon the idea of educating otherwise unwitting children about the subject early on in the hopes that this would turn them off, when it actually turned out to have the opposite effect.

Beyond the novelty of your kid-vid faves rappin’ about drugs, the other obvious reason this special still gets talked about is the crossover element. While having characters from otherwise unrelated properties interacting with each other is commonplace now – particularly given that the vast majority of all major IPs are now owned by five or six massive media conglomerates – this kind of thing was almost unheard of in 1990, Who Framed Roger Rabbit? being the obvious exception. What we get as a result is a line-up of notable fixtures of Saturday morning network line-ups in this era, as well as some old-timers like Bugs and Daffy. It’s revealing, however, that Disney weren’t about to offer up their counterparts here, and that neither Mickey nor Donald – or even Goofy, for that matter – were up for use.

Further analysis of the line-up also demonstrates how much the pendulum had swung back by 1990, in that only Michaelangelo and Slimer represent action-adventure cartoons. If this project had been commissioned five years earlier, it’s easy to imagine the cast being dominated by the syndicated stars of the day, with He-Man, She-Ra, Bumblebee, Lion-O and members of GI Joe all making an unlikely alliance to scold Michael for his weed use. As it is, Cartoon All-Stars marks the first cross-over event between the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and the Ghostbusters, something we wouldn’t see again until IDW published a four-issue comic mini-series bringing the two teams together in 2014. Michaelangelo and Slimer have no real interactions with each other in this special, in fact poor Slimer is barely used at all. (The Turtles are on the rise at this point though and it’s arguably been at the expense of the now-waning Ghostbusters, a subject we’ll revisit another time.)

As an aside, I should point out that I’m not aware of any TV screening or VHS release of Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue in the UK. It’s hard to imagine the three major broadcasters at the time working together to simulcast something like this in the spring of 1990. The BBC in particular had gotten into hot water three years earlier for an anti-drugs storyline in Grange Hill that revolved around a character becoming addicted to heroin, and surely wouldn’t have wanted to go down that road again; as we’ve covered previously in Turtlethon, they also had an ingrained cultural resistance to US cartoon characters in general. The involvement of McDonalds in the creation of this whole affair couldn’t have helped either.

Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue is must-see viewing for any afficionados of eighties or early nineties TV animation, if only to experience how figuratively and literally trippy the whole misguided project is. Due to the spider-web of rights issues involved and the fact that this was a not-for-profit venture anyway it’s widely available online, and in fact a nice 720p VHS rip is now up on the Internet Archive for you to enjoy. On our journey through the history of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles show it marks an interesting turning point, where the green teens are the biggest stars in all of animation, and not yet Saturday morning mainstays like the other characters here, though that would soon change.

The Fruit of Evolution Anime Needs 300 Orders to Release Its Blu-ray Box

The official Japanese website for the fall 2021 TV anime The Fruit of Evolution: Before I Knew It, My Life Had It Made has announced that its Blu-ray box is set to be released on June 29, 2022. The two-disc set will include the TV anime's all 12 episodes, PVs, non-credit OP and ED movies. Its price is 32,000 yen (287 USD).

However, in order to make the decision to release the product, they need to receive 300 sets of orders by January 31. If the number of orders is less than 300 sets, it will not be released. Would this number be easy or difficult to achieve?

The Blu-ray box release project is named "Shinka no Ban" (The Disc of Evolution), because as the number of orders grows, so do the bonus items. If the number of orders reaches 400, the bonus items will include an inner jacket newly drawn by the character designer Minami Eda, a setting material collection book, and an audio commentary by Hiro Shimono (Seiichi Hiiragi) and Testu Inada (Saria before evolution). That for 600 orders is a newly-written novel book. And if the order reaches 777, a digi-pack with more illustrations and an original soundtrack CD that contains the official theme song "Shinka→LOVE♡" will be also added.

Fumetsu 8 | Bishonen Tanteidan 3 | Taming the Last Boss 9 - 12 (FINAL) | Spy x Family 13 - 25 (FINAL)

Fumetsu 8

(Sorry, no notes this time!)

Bishonen Tanteidan 3

Come to think of it…why hasn’t Nisio Isin done a mystery series until this one? The genre suits him well.

Rule no. 4 of Pretty Boy Detective Club: Do not talk about Pretty Boy Detective Club. /ref

To be denied a dream just because of how you are and a thing you can’t change about yourself…that’s tragic…

“Kogoro” is made up of the characters for “small”, “five” and “boy”. Normally, it would refer to Akechi Kogoro (as in, he’s a brilliant detective), but…they meant this instance rather literally.

Taming the Last Boss 9

(Sorry, no notes this time!)

Taming the Last Boss 10

(Sorry, no notes this time!)

Taming the Last Boss 11

(Sorry, no notes this time!)

Taming the Last Boss 12 (FINAL)

…say, why does it have to be Elephas’s eye? That’s kinda gross and hard to take out, no…? (Is it a borrowed trope from Hunter x Hunter, perhaps?)

CGI horse and carriage! Gah!

The albino crow is cute.

…welp, that’s everything for this anime. Sorry it took so long.

Spy x Family 13

…I wasn’t originally going to write notes for this for the sake of watching this for a watching challenge, but…yay! Spy x Family is back in my lineup! (<- Sorry, I was going to cover it when it was airing, but I focussed really hard on everything else – including the JLPT, which I could take for the first time post-COVID – and ended up leaving this behind.)

This OP is great for the fall season. Also, Bond! I haven’t caught up with the manga lately, but I’m well past the Bond stage.

Note the “K9” on this guy’s jacket.

Notice how Yor still uses “-san” on her ostensible “family’s” names.

I keep seeing “Fiona” in the OP and the ED too…I’m not the biggest fan of hers, but she’s still a pivotal character to get to some great plot points, so I’m all for it, I guess.

Spy x Family 14

(Naruto) run like the wind, Yor!

Spy x Family 15

Notice how Anya called Handler “erai hito” (important person).

…Holger? Ain’t the surname established to be “Forger” by now, between the Manga Plus and Viz translations…?

I think for a second I saw Bond with white front paws!!! Animation error!

Spy x Family 16

(Sorry, no notes this time!)

Spy x Family 17

A deer head! On the wall! How rich is Eden?!

LOL, a butler called Jeeves. How original (/s).

“Fullmetal Lady” is likely a parody of the Iron Lady (Margaret Thatcher).

Spy x Family 18

…oh, I forgot to explain it, but there was a “causes of death” vs “consonants” joke from a few episodes ago. Both “cause of death” and “consonant” are shi’in in Japanese. Likewise, chishiki (knowledge) became chihuahua, so the translator swapped it for “no leash”.

I remembered Daybreak’s name, but not what he did. Thanks for the reminder!

“Shinonome” is an archaic name for dawn, hence “daybreak”.

Spy x Family 19

…I still find the whole “Becky in love with Loid” and “Yuri being into his sister” kinda ick, but we’ll roll with it. Can’t change the canon to my own terms, after all.

(Naruto) run like the wind, Yor! (X2)

The cow again!

Spy x Family 20

(Naruto) run like the wind, Yor! (X3)

…that pink blood scene wasn’t in the original. Yor really was a breakout character this season, eh? *sweatdrops* I’m more into Loid myself, if my tastes didn’t indicate anything.

Apparently, some psychiatrists don’t wear a lab coat because it’ll cause patients’ blood pressure and anxiety to spike.

I didn’t even pick up the subber’s typo, but “atomsphere” (sic) vs “atmosphere” and funinki vs fuinki.

Mythomania = “an abnormal or pathological tendency to exaggerate or tell lies.”

The Rolling Sweep wasn’t in the manga, but it makes for a nice running joke.

Note she stumbles over the first syllable of “spy”, but in Japanese it switches to “amazing” (subarashii) while in English it switches to “specialist in mental health…a very good one”.

This section’s totally anime-original! Yay! (But also “kek!” at how badly this will end!)

Franky mentions his name when he talks about “the best informant…” in the JPN audio.

Spy x Family 21

Oh s***! The tennis tournament!

Loid was right…the sky was dark.

…Nightfall calls Twilight “senpai”. I wonder why they didn’t put that in the su-maybe it makes the subs seem too much like they’re “catering to the fans”? Not everyone knows about senpai/kouhai relationships…that’s true.

Fiona-kun, eh?

ED too early! There’s a hidden part here!

Spy x Family 22

I think Anya said “gomennasora” (very sorry/sky), so the subber had to mangle that too. (Then again, Anya doesn’t speak too clearly and I would need the original manga from JPN SJ+ to figure out what happened with this pun if it was in the manga.

Oh! Anabolic and catabolic! I didn’t even realise there was an English pun in there and I read the manga!

LOL, the Phony pair have a WISE logo on their outfits. So much for stealth.

Spy x Family 23

I noticed last ep, that the Phony pair was G and T. Twain = Twilight, but G = Tobari (Nightfall)…??? Update: These stand for “Garesso” (almost anagram of “Tasogare”) and “Tobarii”.

…I’m not sure if the JPN tennis alias of Twilight’s is “Gareth” or something else…

I just realised Yor speaks with keigo. Don’t know why it would be in this situation (“friendly” tennis match with Nightfall), though.

Spy x Family 24

I wonder if Anya is “asexual” in that kid sense or just…flat out asexual, y’know? She has the same thoughts as an ace person, yeah???

Poor Martha… *sweatdrops*

All of Anya’s friends are tsundere… (<- exaggerating)

100000 yen?!

Spy x Family 25 (FINAL)

James Bond visual pastiche! Yeah!

Handler’s still wearing the rings she received from Nightfall! Kek!

Okay, that’s all. Until season 2, people! Bye!

BBC flooded with complaints over Prince Philip coverage

Corporation opened dedicated complaints form on its website to deal with deluge of negative comments

Jim Waterson Media editor

Published: 11:29 Saturday, 10 April 2021

Follow Jim Waterson

Within six hours of Prince Philip’s death being announced the BBC had received so many complaints about its wall-to-wall coverage of the news that it opened a dedicated complaints form on its website.

The BBC curtailed dozens of broadcasts on Friday, taking the nation’s most popular television and radio channels off air and reduced dozens of other broadcasts on stations across the country, in order to provide uninterrupted coverage of tributes to the Queen’s husband.

BBC One played a series of pre-recorded shows, including Philip’s children paying tribute to him, while BBC Two scrapped its schedule and simulcast the same shows as its sister channel. Friday night staples such as EastEnders, Gardeners’ World, and the final episode of MasterChef were taken off air to make way for more tributes, a pattern followed by ITV and Channel 5.

Although the corporation is used to finding itself in the middle of Britain’s culture wars, its handling of Philip’s death points to a deeper question over the ability of a national broadcaster to force the country together to mourn a single individual in an era where audiences are fragmented and less deferential.

When Princess Diana died in a car crash in 1997 the majority of the UK population had only just gained access to a fifth television channel. If the BBC wanted to enforce a mood of national mourning they had the power to cut off other forms of entertainment and keep dissenting voices at bay through the sheer enormity of their reach.

Nowadays, although the BBC’s reach among the UK population remains enormous, the growth of Netflix and YouTube means audiences have somewhere else to turn.

Executives – and royal courtiers – will be nervously studying the release of television viewing figures and seeing if the decision to replace Friday night’s episode of EastEnders with tributes to Philip will expose the fact that the British public’s appetite for such material is limited.

Individuals working in BBC News suggested the long-planned scale of the coverage is because the corporation still bore the scars from the death of the Queen Mother in 2002, when its output was deemed insufficiently deferential by rightwing newspapers.

Among other issues the media infamously fixated on BBC newsreader Peter Sissons failing to wear a black tie as announced her death. He later claimed he had been left in the lurch by BBC bosses, who the previous year had floated proposals to tone down the extent of the coverage of the Queen Mother’s death. Sissons claimed that as he entered the studio to announce her death he was told by the editor: “Don’t go overboard, she’s a very old woman who had to go some time.”

There is also the ongoing battle between the government and the BBC over the corporation’s future funding. With the new director general, Tim Davie, already battling Conservative MPs who accuse the corporation of not being sufficiently patriotic, the BBC will have been aware of the political risks of not being perceived to have struck the right tone.

In the end almost the entire range of BBC services was affected in some way by the announcement of Philip’s death, sometimes with mildly farcical results.

For instance, as a mark of respect to the Queen’s husband, BBC Four’s scheduled programme was taken off-air and replaced with notice urging viewers to switch to BBC One for a tribute to the deceased royal.

The channel had been due to show the England women’s football team play France in an international friendly, leading to questions about whether a men’s match would be kicked off television schedules in an equivalent situation. The game was still shown in full on the BBC’s iPlayer service and BBC Sport website, apparently in the belief that showing women’s sport on a digital service during a period of royal mourning is more respectful than allowing it on linear television channels.

Children watching cartoons on CBBC were greeted with a banner encouraging them to watch the news for a major story. Adverts were taken off BBC-owned commercial channels such as Dave, Yesterday, and Gold out of respect for the deceased royal.

The BBC’s national radio stations initially replaced their output with a pre-recorded tribute, with some later returning to special sombre playlists, with the likes of Radio 1 stuck playing downbeat music with the occasional news bulletin update. Specialist music programmes were taken off air, while presenters kept chat to a minimum.

Some BBC radio cricket commentary were left continuing to provide coverage from grounds across England, unaware that no one was able to hear their output because it had been replaced. Even cricket fans on the BBC website coverage found their source of information cut off, with the corporation’s county championship liveblog shut down immediately after Philip’s death was announced – even as play continued across the country.

One of the few broadcasters to buck the trend was Channel 4, which did air extended tributes to the former royal consort but provided an alternative for viewers by showing Gogglebox and the final of reality TV hit The Circle as planned.

One issue facing the BBC is when to return coverage to normal and how to respond to complaints. In a sign that the corporation is doomed to be criticised by all sides, the rightwing Defund the BBC campaign described it as “disgraceful” that the corporation was making it easier to complain about its coverage, saying: “The anti-British BBC has set up a form to encourage complaints about the volume of coverage of Prince Philip’s death.”

Another issue is how to serve parts of its audience who would like an alternative to the wall-to-wall coverage. By late Friday afternoon there was one death dominating the most-read stories on the BBC website: The demise of rapper DMX.

How to Watch (F1) Formula 1 Live Stream Online Free

Get the latest (F1) update on Formula 1 live streaming for free race grand prix online, schedules, date and timing and more information.

The 2021 F1 season is off to in inauspicious start before it even begins. The season-opening Australian Grand Prix — which originally was scheduled for March 21, has been moved to the back of the season and is now set for Nov. 21, 2021.

That would make the Bahrain Grand Prix the first race of the 2021 Formula 1 Live season on Sunday, March 28.

The Chinese Grand Prix also have been moved to a date to be determined, due to ongoing travel restrictions because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Discussions on when that race could be run are ongoing, F1 says. Meanwhile, look for the Italian Grand Prix at Imola in that April 18 slot.

From there, if all goes according to plan — and it certainly feels a little odd typing that sentence given the state of things — the series would wrap up Dec. 5, 2021, back where it closed out the 2020 season, in Abu Dhabi.

The updated 2021 F1 race calendar now looks as follows:

Here’s a 2020 F1 event breakdown courtesy of FIA. Check your streaming site of choice for times. Dates listed here may be subject to change.

28 March — Bahrain (Sakhir) 18 April — Italy (Imola*) 2 May — TBC 9 May — Spain (Barcelona) 23 May — Monaco (Monaco) 6 June — Azerbaijan (Baku) 13 June — Canada (Montreal) 27 June — France (Le Castellet) 4 July — Austria (Spielberg) 18 July — United Kingdom (Silverstone) 1 August — Hungary (Budapest) 29 August — Belgium (Spa) 5 September — Netherlands (Zandvoort) 12 September — Italy (Monza) 26 September — Russia (Sochi) 3 October — Singapore (Singapore) 10 October — Japan (Suzuka) 24 October — USA (Austin) 31 October — Mexico (Mexico City) 7 November — Brazil (Sao Paulo) 21 November — Australia (Melbourne*) 5 December — Saudi Arabia (Jeddah**) 12 December — Abu Dhabi (Yas Island)

With all the networks having more than 1 channel, 10 or 9 could simulcast The Bachelor or MAFS on two different channels, but one with a mocking commentary track, and that’d probably do really well... IF the comedians were funny that is, cos thinking about it, it’d probably be The Project tier

The Shorty Awards, which honors the best content creators and producers on social media, has this year partnered with We Are Social to turn its annual award gala into an entirely digital, live-stream event, exclusively for social.

Taking place on Sunday, May 3rd, the new ‘Meta Shorty Awards’ ceremony will feature influencers, musical performances, hashtag challenges, real-time commentary, and an overarching social good goal to match the event’s theme of making the world a healthier, safer place.

In the first time in The Shorty Awards’ history that the organization has produced a digital-only event, the ceremony will have two main broadcast channels on Periscope and YouTube from 7pm (EST).

We Are Social’s New York office will be responsible for managing the activation and broadcast across The Shorty Awards’ global social media channels, supported by specialist simulcast production partner, True Film Production.

As part of the launch campaign, The Shorty Awards will promote a TikTok hashtag challenge, #ShortyBreak, giving creatives of all levels the chance to produce commercials for made-up brands. The best ads will then be used as breaks during the ceremony broadcast, with one lucky winner receiving an award for Best Shorty Break.

Prior to the ceremony, a creative brief will also be shared with a number of agencies globally, giving them the chance to create a social good campaign that raises awareness for a specific cause, chosen by The Shorty Awards team. The winning agency will be recognized at the end of the live show and will officially be awarded the business, with the understanding that they will be forgoing their creative development fee to aid the charitable cause.

Rob Schlissel, marketing and partnerships senior director and senior producer, The Shorty Awards, said: “This is an important moment for the team at The Shorty Awards, as we look to take a long-established global event and transition it online for the first time. Not only because we have to - due to the current global crisis - but also because the move upholds the innovative reputation of the ceremony, and continues the tradition of celebrating the world’s best in entertainment, media, branding and creativity. The whole team, along with our partners at We Are Social, have worked to turn this concept into a reality in an incredibly short space of time, while working in challenging circumstances, but we’re very excited to see it go live.”

Benjamin Arnold, managing director, New York, We Are Social, added: “As brands and organizations around the world work tirelessly to pivot their marketing efforts to reflect this current state of isolation, working with The Shorty Awards has been an incredible opportunity to showcase just how a large-scale, real-life production can transition into a purely social one - and generate the same, if not more, engagement.
