sigh...
got slammed with a $5k car repair and aside from my weekly simulpub work at Jump+, my work queue is completely EMPTY.
I already had to cut my hours this year for my health, so I don't have enough to cover this.

in an alternate universe, we could be having nuanced discussions over ethical uses of AI (even gen-AI)
but when the AI's biggest advocates are cartoon villains who want us all dead, it's our moral imperative to aggressively reject AI and to make it socially unacceptable to use

I'm getting into the habit of writing kanji on my days off. I'll probably never hand-write Japanese sentences; I do it so more uncommon kanji that I forget easily can be instilled in my memory. Any critiques appreciated!

People really need to quit blaming bad writing on localizers, and by extension, treating everything Japan releases as cultural gold. Even the best localization team in the world can't make a turd shine no matter how much they polish it...

The vast majority of anime people watch is designed for children. Mostly 8 year old boys.
It's like meeting a bunch of 40-year old Japanese folks who are super into Veggie Tales...

all works of art, even art you absolutely love, is deeply flawed through an innumerable number of lenses and you must interrogate the belief that engaging with flawed art is a negative reflection upon the self

evangelicals have finally created. the golden calf. from the classic bible story “don’t create a golden calf”
Evangelical Christian leaders literally gathering around a gold statue of the president and celebrating it, all while raging against any accusation of idolatry.
This is what idol worship looks like.

A bunch of artists will lose work, the flow and immersion for the reader is ruined, the mangaka's vision is butchered...and they'll probably raise the price on consumers anyway.
but at least a corporation made more money 😀

Square Enix has created an AI tool that could cut up to 3000 hours from manga production
It automates typesetting like font, size, and placement

You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.

Happy Girls' Day! The hinamatsuri episode of the original Pocket Monsters (1997) series is, if I'm not mistaken, the only time in the series that an actual date (March 3rd) is said aloud within the show.

Not to get political, but America is very pretty and has a lot of nice folks making cool things, and I think if we had a president who wasn’t actively trying to murder us, we could have a pretty good time

Just a quick one summarizing the anime enshiffitifaction we've been experiencing the past 6 months (AI-subs, shitty typesetting, AI-cc, and AI dubs.)
I'll be back to my deep-dives on animanga localization next year, TBD.
