Happy 25th anniversary Eternal Arcadia, aka Skies of Arcadia, released in Japan on 5th October 2000! One of my fave DC games. <3 I'll mark the occasion by sharing some sweet character concept sketches from its development.

Lost in Translation: AI’s Influence on Anime and Manga: Jonny Lobo examines the growing use of AI and Machine Translations in the anime and manga industries. In addition to independent research, he speaks with translators Kim Morrisey, Zack Davisson, and Matthias Hirsh for their insights on the topi

[Anime Central 2025] An Interview with Pili, the Puppet Studio Behind Thunderbolt Fantasy At Anime Central 2025, I received an opportunity to interview Pili, the Taiwanese studio that co-produced Thunderbolt Fantasy. I hope that fans of Thunderbolt Fantasy, fans of Pili, and anyone curious about…

I’ve always had my qualms with the Hero Academia subs b/c they were overly literal, but I acknowledge it’s a valid approach that’s useful when English is the pivot language for dubs and whatnot. But there was an outright mistranslation this week, which is embarrassing for such a high profile show.

Kinda sucks that people just shit on hard work. And then they wonder why the big companies are cutting all possible corners.

Guess who?

Prequel series when? A guy can dream. As much as I love Gene and Jim, Hilda absolutely carried the start of the show. I wanted more of her.

very quick and very simple official survey about IRS direct file. its worth it to take a few minutes tell them that you like being able to file your taxes for free on the IRS website i just filled it out, its a very short and simple survey you dont need to log in or anything!

Little soft Garrod & Tiffa are a thing! Love to see some Gundam X merch starting to appear in the lead up to its 30th. Available via the Bandai Namco Official Nui Shop : www.shopnui.jp

This is the wrong takeaway— there are some incredibly talented translators working on Crunchyroll shows. And I know tons of people working there who are putting their entire hearts and souls into their jobs! The problems, like at most companies, come from greedy corpo execs.

Now that it's out, time for the usual. I was the team lead for Super Robot Wars Y! I oversaw the translators and editors, and I handled final review passes. I think this game's writing is something special, and I hope you all enjoy it as much as I did!

I was a translator at Funimation. After the CR merger, I got laid off, despite having recently received high feedback on my work. My manager called me two days before Christmas to tell me I was off the Winter season anime I had just started on.🥲

Fans and Talent alike need to know that the (anime) convention atmosphere is going through another major shift - this time, one that pushes the cost onto *you*, the attendee. More and more larger events are beginning to adopt a model where they offer table space to industry vets at THEIR expenses.

super sweet rogue and gambit commission! loved doing this one :,) #xmen

Queen Millennia (all 42 episodes) to stream September 2 on HIDIVE news.hidive.com/2025/8/26/wa... Blu-ray is available via Sentai Filmworks www.sentaifilmworks.com/collections/...

Suddenly Queen Millennia is streaming on @hidive.com. Given how fast retro anime come and go on their app definitely watch it while you can.

I don’t follow any of the subs for Super Sentai, but I keep seeing posts that call Gozyu Polar’s mech Goodeburn (which is probably the official romanization somewhere). But it should totally be something like FistyMcclobber. 🤜

I went to the Square Enix website and looked at the preview. Can’t find a credit page with the translator’s name nor is it listed on any of the online shops. Soooo… did someone translate it? Because an editor is listed here. 🤔

There's too much I want to re-quote from this amazingly written article. Everything is frustratingly true and I wish the translators and LSPs on the slop hype the train would read it.

Major Yakuaru 3.0 update. Streamlining aside, you can add terms independently now! This is fully automated as long as the submission rules are follow. Been a long time coming with a database migration because the previous manual method became too unwieldy as it hit 600 terms. Enjoy!

It's with great sadness that we learn of the passing of Nobuo Yamada, AKA NoB - The incredible singer on many #SuperSentai songs from Magiranger to King-Ohger, including the Boukenger & Goseiger opening themes. He passed away at the age of 61 on August 9th after a long battle with kidney cancer.

Ugh, fuck cancer. 61 is still too young. RIP NoB. 😭 Of course, Pegasus Fantasy is amazing, but I’m incredibly fond of the Boukenger and Goseiger openings too. The man had a powerful voice.

The cover illustration for the new Symphogear soundtrack box is perfect. You love to see it ❤️

Ah, yes. Demon Girl had such unique translation challenges! This was my attempt to reflect what the Japanese was doing. The brutal word kill ぶち殺す (buchikorosu) was cutified by becoming ぶちころがす (buchikorogasu). I wanted something that sounded threatening yet goofy, so murderize was what I settled on

Went to sealed Gundam card event at a local shop… the first pack I opened was a GOD PACK! 🫨🫨🫨

Crazy release weekend for the Gundam Card game. Got my hands on 3 boxes at MSRP and went to 2 sealed events. Pulled and traded for almost all my chases! Including the ✨spaaaace lesbians✨

Yahoo! My buddy who owns a card shop was generous enough to set aside one of the Gundam card cases that come with the EX Base & Resource promos!! They are so hard to find! I got second place at locals tonight. Super excited for the booster release tomorrow!!

If anybody has questions or needs help understanding how the new Gundam card game works, feel free to ask me! I’ve been playing it a lot and have plans to volunteer as a (non-official) judge at my local store.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Not every TV anime should be a sakuagafest. There just isn’t budget or time for it. Especially when animators are already underpaid. Harping on basic animation is a low blow. It’s fine for what it is and this review could‘ve easily focused on the story more

Got first place at a local card shop for the Gundam starter deck tournament tonight! Also pulled the LR+ Aerial from my bonus pack! It’s so pretty! 🤩

Eyyy. Excited to see Sword of the Demon Hunter made it. It’s got some great storytelling if you can get past the grim dark setup.

First starter deck tournament went pretty well! I lost in the last round and got knocked out of prizing, but I was just happy to get the promos. No LR+ cards, sadly, but I was happy with the foil Athrun!
