The original twitter thread listing everything got deleted because the poster got freaked out by all the retweets and likes (or something like that iirc), but basically they showed that Dan Kanemitsu was the author of a Nazi OC loli doujin and pointed to his blog with a rather :can: thinkpiece on how awful and fascist it is that Japan wants to expand the anti-child porn law.

So basically all those little weird things like Kaworu's "I like you" or the "leftist terrorist attacks" lines that are "technically" correct you can assume were deliberately chosen to suit his ethos.

I love cancel culture.

Note that the translator has worked with Khara for years and did the translations of all the Rebuild movies which are still 100% gay. The issues with translation extend to all languages on the Netflix subs, so you’re kidding yourselves if you think one translator is the big evil dude here.

It probably won't work for you. I find you pretty much have to be a depressed teen for it to resonate.

If you want to try start with the TV series. The movies are... different.

eva is good, not really sure why you'd have to be depressed to appreciate it. it looks great, has some interesting one-off eps in the middle, and a fairly strong cast. i feel like the main thing that i hear turns some people off is just some of the writing/framing of female characters in the show and whether it all has an ultimate purpose, but it feels like the sort of conclusion you have to draw from watching it yourself.

I'm assuming it was easier to license globally that way then fighting for international rights from a dead company.

Some of the international dubs are still the original ones.

There's an apocryphal story by a goon about some exec at Khara reacting horribly to an American audience at a con screening of Part 3 because they weren't prepared for yelling and laughing at what they thought was supposed to be a serious and thought provoking movie which they blamed on the subs which leaned hard into gay subtext.

What is a hundred percent confirmed is that the new translator they hired writes nazi loli doujin and wrote a bilingual essay on how Japan's stricter child pornography laws are an infringement on personal freedoms of law-abiding citizens who aren't harming anyone by merely consumption.

The Kakegurui XX finale went from typically ridiculous to almost sweet, which was a fun change of pace.

I didn't realise that it's caught up to the Manga now though. Wonder if/when we'll get a Season 3...

Kakegurui is so fun. It's got so much stuff that, taken alone, feels like a show I wouldn't normally like, but put together and cranked up to the ridiculous degree that it is in that show--it works.

Anyone else watched Rilakkuma and Kaoru? It's such an odd duck of a show for someone to have pitched a stop-motion series in 2019. It's very sweet though, and clearly a lot of love went into it making it :allears:.

The Japanese voices for the series were never licensed from my understanding and the English version has a bunch of cuts so they couldn't do proper dual audio with the same video anyways.

Edit: apparently I'm mistaken there but the rights are in a bit of a mess.

Baller. I used to have half the figures for that show as a kid. If I remember, they did a broadcast cut like with Escaflowne where the first episode where they get scattered was never actually aired. Or, at least, wasn't aired in proper order.

Now, I just need them to get Samurai Pizza Cats and Tekkaman Blade. :getin:

There's two versions of Escaflowne in dub form; One is the straight Ocean localization dub, the other is a hack editing job by Fox Kids that runs 23 episodes (only 9 of which aired) and downplays Hitomi in favour of focusing on Vaan as a boy's action show for younger kids. It also replaces Yoko Kanno's soundtrack with techno.

Both versions have the same english VA's.
