Yeah it's a great adaptation but if you read it pretty recently you'll probably get less out of it.

Aggretsuko is really good, although some of the subtitles and song translations are a little iffy.

That's Netflix subtitles for you!

I think the execution of Hinamatsuri is good enough that it warrants a watch even if you're caught up with the comic. I know I am and have been enjoying it quite a bit. That said, if you don't have time/don't like juggling multiple shows at once, it could be something to consider waiting on. After all, it's been good so far but it could fall apart towards the end.

Does netflix actually do the subtitling its shows/movies though?

Well, a lot of Netflix acquisitions have had kinda shaky subtitles, so it's gotta be something. I know they farm out their closed captioning to volunteers, so it might be similar.

It's worth noting that the dubs they do tend to have better scripts, which is probably because those are almost entirely handled by Bang Zoom.

It seems like a very well produced show, so even if you remember the content really well it might be worth just seeing and hearing it in motion.

I Failed At Anime 2022

InspectorCarbonara posted:

Is the anime an adaptation of the game or set after it? I played part of the game on my phone when it came out but never finished it so I don't know if I should before looking at the anime or if it doesn't matter.

Nothing really happens in the game to spoil anyway.

Hey, is Aggretsuko kinda hard to watch for anyone else or just me? It makes me think about my job too much.

I like it a lot, but I can't really watch more than one or two episodes at a time.

They contract it out. Translations are paid on a $ per minute basis, and do not pay that great.

And as I mentioned earlier, the dub translations and scripts, at least from what I've noticed, are taken care of by the studio that records it, usually Bang Zoom.

I went into it a bit hesitantly for that reason, and it ended up being one of my favorites of the season.

3D Kanojo got pretty serious in episode 4. It's been about serious self-esteem issues from the start, but this one introduced some hard bullying.

The original series is a bunch of 1 minute shorts which is probably a bit more digestible, but part of the whole thing is that it is extremely soul crushing.

theres a difference between a fairly individual artist making a manga and then a variety of corporate deals going down to make an anime to promote it, or a studio wanting to make an original anime and securing funding from various interested parties, and a giant corporation cranking out a mascot to make tons of merchandise of, imo

and also it isnt really just 'sanrio is bad so this is bad' its like, the specific subject matter tying into that is what makes it weird, for me.

Theres corps/publishers that are "good" I think too, i like that enterbrain keeps harta running even tho it's so niche it definitely doesn't make money cause it's mostly a cool showcase for talented artists enjoyed by other artists.
