Hey all. I am still on the hunt for freelance work in Japanese to English translation, translation review, English editing and proofreading, or almost any localization-parallel role that can be done remote from Germany. I specialize in creative writing localization. Please share with your circle!

English language monthly or bi-monthly manga magazine aimed at adults, so, mostly josei and seinen manga. Nothing that would be shown on Adult Swim or from Shonen Jump.

I've been putting this off for too long, but I need to do one of those "looking for work posts." I'm open to full-time, part-time, or freelance work in either games or films media/criticism. I have experience as a news writer, interviewer, video editor, sound editor, and essayist.

Looking for freelance reporters who will be at ANNECY for coverage for Anime News Network. If you're interested, please drop me an email with "Annecy Freelancer" in the subject line. Meanwhile, I'll continue to plead my case so my publisher will send me some time.

This is not a conspiracy theory, simply the truth, especially with regard to why the second bomb was dropped on Nagasaki. The Occupation-led medical examinations of hibakusha (the ABCC exams) after the war were also a data-harvesting, not humanitarian, mission

An underrated 21st century skill is knowing what level of digital friendship you should have with somebody. Getting that Instagram request and being able to say, "no, LinkedIn mutuals is right for us." Tough when you realize belatedly that you don't actually want to know what your gym trainer thinks

The Columbine massacre was on this date in 1999. Instead of energizing our country to get gun violence under control, it kicked off a new normal. One of the best explanations ever of journalism's destructive impact on mass shootings came from Roger Ebert in his review of Gus Van Sant’s “Elephant.”

Checking out the first episode of Mao since I can’t ignore a story with a Taisho era setting, but is it just me, or is this series missing background music? Do modern anime have less background music than anime 20 years ago?

One of the most persistent and frustrating phrases common among
#Indigenous
peoples of the west is something to the effect of: “There’s no word for ‘profit’ in our language.”

One side obsession from my research into the 1920s is the extensive network of ELECTRIC trains that used to connect cities and towns across the central Midwest called the Interurban. We had this more than a hundred years ago. The things we had and the things we lost.

Just watched a TV Asahi news report on Youtube about the little boy in Kyoto with the worst AI translation *and* AI narration I’ve ever heard. It would be absolutely incomprehensible to someone who couldn’t read the on-screen Japanese text.

A very astute (and upsetting!) piece that touches on four scary cultural trends: 1) The demand for spelled-out moral clarity in stories 2) A growing inability to understand different types of narratives 3) The "customer's always right" version of fandom 4) The growth of fandom as a social identity.

Israel is using America's war as cover to conquer Lebanon. They've forcibly displaced 1 million civilians while striking dozens of villages daily - far more than they strike Iran. Today, we saw the first report of IDF forces attempting to cross the Litani River.

released a half-hour documentary last week on the transgender ban in the US military, but managed to not interview a single trans man. This further perpetuates the assumption that we don’t exist, and also, I’d argue, increases hostility towards trans women. Do better.
