| Rooster Fighter |
I'm so obsеssed with your ex! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, May 2!
Our Top Pick tonight is Rooster Fighter (Adult Swim, midnight / Hulu, Sunday). This anime follows a wondering rooster as he travels Japan meeting people and fighting kaiju-esque demons, all while searching for the demon who killed his sister. Yes, this is one of the wilder story takes from Toonami. Also, while Toonami gets the television broadcast, Hulu has the streaming rights, because nothing makes sense in anime rights anymore.
Elsewhere, Olivia Rodrigo is Live from New York, Kara Swisher is lonely, love is found at the Kentucky Derby, there's danger on the One Piece horizon, Martha Carelli gets Lifetime movie treatment, and Nat Geo Wild gets Primal.
