STOP SLEEPING ON ODD TAXI |
| I just saw the trailer. This shit looks like it was custom made for me. And people say the medium is dead...Fools! |
| I've been wondering when this manga would get an anime adaptation. Haven't read it yet, but I've seen it pop up here and there on social media. Seems funny. |
 |
| Saw this announcement on Twitter like a week ago, seems like something that would have come out in the 80s or 2000s |
   |
| Refuse to believe this is real. We will be seated day one though. |
 |
| I hope there's cat in this show because rooster and cat makes a pretty good duo. |
 |
| Behold the greatest anime ever is coming |
| I've tried to read the manga, but I haven't started reading it yet. |
| This looks funny. Gonna add it to my PTW. |
 |
| cock fighting anime show |
| Surprisingly anime about cocks is not the strangest thing. The end truly is near. |
 |
| wait is this gonna be TV anime?? are they gonna get away with adapting the very first scene of the manga lolol also this might be pretty epic based on the last time i read this |
 |
| It looks like it's gonna be beak animation. |
| As someone who loves chickens and has pet roosters I'm really looking forward to this although I'm not very pleased with the animation. |
 |
| so basically OPM with a cock mc smashing everyone ... interesting |

Vacerino said: Wikipedia never lists the producers for a show and the MAL page is wrong, because MAL doesn't allow licensors to also be listed as producers, this is why shows like Sing a Bit of Harmony and Dimension W has to add info on the background section, because the licensor is also a producer in that case, and even MAL used to list Viz as a producer. https://web.archive.org/web/20240517220156/https://myanimelist.net/anime/54112/nope they didn't, and you can go to the mal page or wikipedia to look for yourself We know the production committee for Zom 100 because all you gotta do is look at the list of producers and see who they work for, and the Zom 100 credits is full of Viz Media employees (including the CEO). Momiyama Emi credited as Producer (プロデューサー), Louis Yenik credited as Assistant Producer (アシスタントプロデューサー). https://x.com/TheHMEHD/status/1677995559217512448 |

| @MadanielFL wikipedia actually listed everyone you noted as producers. didnt know they work for viz. but every site i looked into only credits Shogakukan, Shogakukan-Shueisha. doesnt mean they were part of the actual production, only outside of asia. probaly bought themselfs in like netflix does it many times. |
Vacerino said: Well they are a part of the production committee, which means they are investors of the show and they own a part of the ip for the anime, which also means they receive a portion of the revenue that the show makes. doesnt mean they were part of the actual production, only outside of asia. probaly bought themselfs in like netflix does it many times. |
