Wasn't it like... Nitler? Something that came off as a typo.

All the Happy Science movies are so entertaining. They've got that same sort of batshit energy that 90s Christian media had.

Yet, no Arab billionaire has stepped up to commission a two-cour show about a futuristic Mujahideen defending his space colony and their religion in his fast, transformable rocket.
I thought the subgenre was huge over there. Where is my halal mecha show?

Grendizer U is right there.

They did commission a short featuring a Saudi saving the world of a meteor infested with an alien thing.

And the Saudis entered a multi-billion dollar agreement with Japan's gaming and anime industry to fund more joint anime and game production over time earlier this year.

Director Takaaki Ishiyama(Kishin Corps) is a supporter and has done a bunch of work for them, as well as the creators of Kindaichi Case Files. The big shtick with them is "spirit conversations" where they believe they can talk with dead historical figures, and that's literally what their literature is, 100s of books of conversations with dead people

Didn't an arab group paid sunrise or someone to do a historical anime about them?
Iirc, Furuya did the main character.

Arab billionaires don't even step up to rescue babies from dying under buried rubble. Can't think of a more spineless and self-traitorous ethnicity on Earth. Islam was a mistake

That’s really a separate issue entirely and this thread isn’t about that

>>23604344
robots?

They just chucked some money at the studio and let the studio do whatever with that
Probably would've been better if it did have some direction forced on them to follow

Here's hoping the saudis will give us Dead Space 4.
