This whole thing reminds me about something that happened to me a couple of years back: I asked for months at JNC for further communication on follow-up projects as my contracted one was closing in on completion and got nothing back. Completely stonewalled by my superiors.

maybe the loc industry needs to be burned to the ground and rebuilt from scratch, actually what the fuck did I just read the absolute fucking nerve and audacity

I had the privilege of writing the NPC dialogue and lore text for #ENreco chapter 2! Looking forward to seeing the stories the girls create! www.youtube.com/live/xb2pi8p...

As it's almost that time of year again: Dear English developers, Dating sims and VNs are not joke genres.

Good news: Bluesky embeds on Discord are now better than ever! You'll now see functional mentions, hashtags, and other links, and replies will be tagged as such.

I drew Hinako-chan! 😊💖 #SILENTHILLf

I am a menace to (discord) society

It occurred to me that I never transplanted my "Loc Resume" tweet over to here, so I figure I'll do that now while it's on my mind. No fancy website for me, just a list of things I've done and where: gist.github.com/Fyurie/a51fe... I'm always looking for new Editing/QA opportunities. Any medium.

only the most pristine pearls of wisdom from my man Ooishi

it just keeps on getting better, huh? why even give CR your money at this point

It's possible they're testing the waters with non-EN before extending this to English subs too. Which would be a terrible loss. But hey, the Crunchyroll leadership has better things to think about than making a quality service for their users. After all, there's shareholder value to increase! 3/3

One possible explanation for this is that they want to increase sub compatibility with services like Amazon with positively abysmal subtitle support. Of course, I personally think throwing one of your few true technical competitive advantages away for such a reason is crazy... 2/3

In other Crunchyroll news: You know how they have basically the highest quality on-screen text presentation out of all the English #anime streaming companies (at least when the subs are done "in house")? Well, apparently managers at the company have started telling non-English languages to stop. 1/3

what's craziest about all the CR video stuff is that they're supposed to be an industry leader like, how do we get to this point? what a shambolic series of events

Also, to address some points in the (now-deleted) tweet: the new encodes are actually less device-compatible than the old ones, and users on slower connections are already catered to by lower resolution options. Reducing high-end quality for the sake of an already solved problem is not very wise!

Anyway, in case it wasn't obvious, but when you're the biggest English anime company and video content is your MAIN BUSINESS, having your entire technical video department consist of just one person with very little vetting is frankly ridiculous. Only the best for #anime consumers!

So uh, an update on this: Apparently Crunchyroll's video department was (recently?) downsized from four people to just one, and the one person they have left on the job has unfortunately very little clue about what they're doing (and is also an AI bro): archive.ph/1HiUN#select...

Time and time again translators are pointing out how machine translation produces terrible quality work, but it's normally the translators who are forced to make it somewhat readable for pennies, while middle men pocket the profits.

go read Higurashi right now I am not asking

oh, come on, not again CR...

I did this a few days back, and figured it'd be neat to post here, mostly because WHY HAVE I LETTERED MANGA INSIDE OF ANIME BEFORE DOING IT ON AN ACTUAL MANGA PAGE AAAAAA Aegisub is not the ideal lettering tool, lmao

We are so back, and with Nagai again? Sign me up www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWKf...
