~honda best man~


my suruga-ya orders arrived today, dodged tariffs on both the shirt and the sweater which was a surprise because I got dinged $20 CAD on a $55 board game the first time I ordered from them last month

my experience with places like book-off, mandarake, & others has consistently been that japanese secondhand stuff is immaculate, but oddly enough the three things I’ve purchased from suruga-ya seem to be brand new





I haven’t opened the box on this isobeyan shirt yet because the packaging cute as hell… idk who would clock the reference outside of a con or a comic festival so I’ll probably wait until one of those to crack it





conversely I’ll probably end up wearing this frieren sweatshirt this week sometime. a little disappointing that it’s a heat transfer and that the good design is on the back but a decent result as far as [no image] roulette goes and hey. official frieren merch

¥875 for the dedede shirt and ¥2200 for the frieren sweater delivered within a week with no tariffs to canada were both steals though. would highly recommend this site.

Anyone have an idea what the issue with the Lovely Complex Discotek dub is? They put out a statement apologizing for something someone said but I have no idea what the issue even is.

EDIT: I removed the Twitter thread I originally had posted here because the user is a nutjob. I found a web archive link to Jello Apocalypse's original message that set this whole shitstorm off. Better to read it than read the angry Twitter mob. TLDR Jello Apocalypse wrote the Lovely Complex dub, made disparaging comments about the original script and was generally unprofessional in their communications so Discotek has cut ties with him.

Not really surprising, I've watched a fair amount of his stuff and the stream vods are the worst offenders but even plenty of edited content will have ranting/dumping on something and real fluffing of himself or his friends.

if i hated the thing i was working on dubbing this much i would just quit the project instead of using it as some lame attempt to "claim" a 2000s romcom anime with dated writing. going this route always just feels dishonest to me.

it's tricky because this is a topic where even the most egregiously bad poo poo is generally going to receive focus mostly from people who aren't trustworthy and don't know what they're talking about.

This situation seems bad, but people who post anti-localization takes are almost always insane

Never know how seriously to take the anti-loc freaks but I do hope there's not a lasting negative effect on Discotek from a couple people being loud, awful idiots.

ultimately it mostly just seems like this was the result of all parties involved cheaping out hard and not actually handling the dub through any particular professional channels since the thing they make note of is that absolutely everyone they got was everyone they could get to work on it either for free or for minimal pay

it is bizarre to me though how much "sensitivity readers" are a thing. you had 20 trans and nb people working on your voice cast and you still felt like you had to go to paid professionals on telling you if your script might theoretically make someone mad? you had human beings with life experience on the thing you were writing about right there man

can you post the images, I can't view them because ~rate limited~

Sucks to hear about jello apocalypse, I liked their little animated "so this is basically" shorts for like, rwby and pokemon and stuff. But that was years and years ago, plenty of time for them to lose their minds in the meantime
