Given how over saturated these fucking movies are, I can't imagine that anyone's excited about whatever Z-tier superhero they're pulling from the archives by now.
I'm all for letting people enjoy things, but who the fuck is enjoying this???
In some ways, yes and in other ways no. It depends on the episode tbh
~~Aang awakens to the immortal truth of the Juche Idea~~
I was low key hoping it would be the Eco-terrorism episode, or something
Reposting part of a comment I made in another thread about this, but:
animation across east Asian countries outsources labor between each other all of the time. Your Japanese anime is just as much Korean, Chinese, and Vietnamese at this point, as it is Japanese.
Go look at the credits of most modern anime productions out of Japan, and large swathes of the names you see aren't Japanese, but are from those other countries.
Even a fairly low stakes, low budget, slice of life anime, like Non Non Biyori has Vietnamese names all over its god damn credits, because globalization has impacted the east Asian animation industry in such a way, that there's an large cross pollination of talent across borders, for better and worse.
And that's not to mention the western animation that gets outsourced to these places, South Korea especially.
The fact North Korea is also involved in this complex outsourcing process shouldn't be surprising to anyone who knows anything about how that industry works.
It was called The Owl House, and they canceled that show ¯_ (ツ) _/¯
Which is stupid in 2024 anyway, because animation across east Asian countries outsources labor between each other all of the damn time! Your Japanese anime is just as much Korean, Chinese, and Vietnamese at this point, as it is Japanese.

And to the point of the post, it makes sense that the DPRK would be involved in that to some extent. The original Squirrel and Hedgehog cartoon, for example, has some pretty impressive visuals for a TV series, compared to the stuff coming out of Japan, at the same time, prior to the consumer electronics boom of the 80s.
It's a sort of well-known trivia thing that an animation studio in the DPRK worked on one of the episodes of Avatar
Yo, which one?
I'll start!
glomps u :3
I get what he's trying to do, but "Russia as North Korea" is so deeply stupid.
North Korea is the way that it is, due to it being a nation forcibly chopped in half, at constant risk of invasion, and lacks access to important natural resources that only exist in the South. Russia doesn't have those problems, being the largest country by land mass
Wow basic human rights!!
Rights which German queers gained twice, and subsequently lost. First during the Weimar years, and second in East Germany.
Yeah, if Nintendo went under, that would be great.
