    I love how this doesn’t bother actually addressing either the allegations of machine translation OR the fact the early draft pages meant for marketing are far more coherent than the actual versions that went to Print:

    Japan has always been chasing that wheel of cheese downhill when it comes to Covid. They would implement some policy like lockdown, then surprise Pikachu face as the tourism economy plummets, so they offer vouchers for people to go traveling in Japan, then do another surprised Pikachu face as Covid cases spike in rural areas from the traveling

    Every government: What if we just forgot that economies existed to facilitate the lives of human beings and instead treated humans as vital yet individually expendable ingredients to bolster economies for the benefit of the wealthy owner class?

    If you’re a business I’m going to say it’s the difference between plagiarism and just refusing to hire the necessary labor

    Like, you’re a business, one that has decided to be a localizer. Hire some fuckin’ translators, instead of trying to be cheapskates. If you can’t afford the costs of labor, then obviously you shouldn’t be in the business. It’s the same kind of shit with all those businesses who are like “we can’t afford to pay our staff a living wage! What do you expect us to do?”

    To which the answer is “Then why the fuck are you a business if you can’t afford to pay the people doing the fucking work? Also, just how much are you taking home from this whole fucking endeavor?”

    The first volume of the Witch from Mercury novelization (discounting the prologue novel) will drop on Feb. 25th. The post from the Gundam_Info account mentions that it'll feature "expressions and descriptions" (using Twitter's auto translate) that aren't in the anime. Guessing that means that we'll get more internal monologue and some new/expanded scenes.

    Something to tide us over until the start of cour 2.

    I just started Romantic Killer because I feel like I saw it recommeneded somewhere. I'm halfway through the first episode and feel like this has the potential to go either way. On the one hand, the premise is presented as confiscating the things the MC likes until she likes a boyfriend, but on the other it's also explicitly stated that the Japanese government is somehow involved and one of the things confiscated was her fucking cat. Give the poor girl her cat back!

    I thought it was handled quite well. The MC is great, and the show has some excellent visual comedy.

    Romantic KIller made me wary at first, but after watching the rest of the first episode it seems pretty fun. The absurd extent to which the wizard thing messes with the MC (parents suddenly and happily decide to move overseas for three years, all chocolate everywhere is sold out, etc) and her over-the-top defiant resolve to not play by his rules are pretty fun.

    The show does weirdly make me feel personally attacked because the MC (who supposedly needs to change, despite obviously being perfect) reminds me of the first girl I've ever fallen for down to the hobbies, cat, red hair, and glasses.

    If the idea of RK is to make people want to go after relationships, it must be having the opposite effect.
