All of this came out of literally nowhere, & we were just as surprised as everyone else to learn what’s going on. Our storefront will hopefully be a new, much less unstable home for our favorite titles and yours. It also helps support us directly, AND you get loyalty points if you sign up! Win-wins!

All according to keikaku.

We've been calling them 'words.' But here's the thing: that's not quite tadashii. A kotoba isn't a word. They're something else entirely- a role unique to Japanese gengo. And there's no eigo no kotoba that surus it seigi. So from ima on, wareware tsukau the hontou no kotoba: kotoba.

Added 4 new signatures to my GQuuuuuuX print this weekend.

Pleased with this holiday card art I did for mediaOCD 🕊️ Birbs and deranged birbs- my wheelhouse

Happy holidays from all of us at MediaOCD!

Remember when David Lynch was in Gundam Wing?

trying to enjoy the warm melancholia of @animeigo.com's release of NOBODY'S BOY REMI, but i cant stop fuckin laughing at the way the dog looks in this one shot 😂

Now that is a character design.

so transparent that if you have an OLED monitor you can't tell if that's the doc or the monitor's turned off

Can’t believe those new Epstein photos

we gotta figure out what's happening over at Jeopardy HQ

Just for one piece of extra context, the static dog isn't a result of laziness. It was a photo of a developer's recently passed pet.

Now is a great time to pick up Ace Combat 7 if you haven't already. It's an absolute steal at that price! Do it for JPEG Dog.

For anyone worried AI will replace all of us. Courtesy of Gemini for the prompt “create an infographic of all the World Series winners since 1986” I dare you to find 10 things that are right.

Bringing this meme back for the season

AI feels like they invented spam without the email. Fantastic stuff.

As promised a few days ago, here's another peek at the credits we did for Digimon Movie Collection 2, this time for the dub credits for Movie 6. These were font matched and given the same kind of styling as the original broadcast version.

Shot's not even in the trailer. Every cockpit shot @jaskel.side6.space and I can find looks nothing like that and the trailer is FULL of high-detail control panels and background textures.

It's me. I'm friends.

With Digimon Movie Collection 2 showing up in people's hands, how about a little peek at one of the most complex sub effects we've done so far? The original dub replaced the Japanese credits with a Windows-themed overlay, so we copied that for ours.

And now...your moment of zen

Hey, folks-- myself and @terebifunhouse.bsky.social found a cool old anime artifact that we don't think a lot of people have seen lately. Come join us on my twitch channel on Friday at 9:00 PM ET to check it out! twitch.tv/mike_toole 📺

The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.

I worked with Discotek when they first started putting out these releases to create a Leiji Matsumoto Bible to ensure that all of the terms would be consistent between the manga and anime releases No other company ever asked me to do that. It showed how much they cared. I have mad respect for them

It's a Black Friday miracle! The HDR processing on the 4K Project A-ko clip finally finished if you have a compatible player & TV! www.youtube.com/watch?v=SStW... Pre-order now! store.crunchyroll.com/products/pro... www.mediaocd.com/product-page...

Bonus:

Happy Full Collection Release!!!

Also, we’re out of Full Moon vol 1 slipcovers now. Will order more on monday, but it’ll take a few weeks.

Holy crap, you guys SHATTERED our sales records yesterday. So, so grateful. You should know that the revenue from this sale is literally making it possible to license and restore several additional projects we have in the works. Makes a huge difference. So thank you! 🙏🙏

Finally done with this disaster. Yeah, reportedly Disc 2 now has glitched frames in an episode that the v1 disc didn’t, but I’m ripping these to my media server and not looking back so I can work around that.

Reminder: If you have to see relatives or familial acquaintances that give you shit for who you are this week or during the December holidays, tell them to go eat glass. They don’t get to shame you, say hurtful things, or devalue your humanity just because they knew you when you were younger.

These are their autogenerated subs on magic knight rayearth and they’re absolutely horrible. Cant get the name of the country/world right

Everything about this might be the saddest thing I’ve ever seen

124. Good enough. bsky.app/profile/wwxw...

I have to assume the wording on EW is bad because newly-animated scenes? Special Edition has always had additional scenes that the OVA didn't but that wouldn't be new. Only thing I can guess is they're also showing the 30th Anniversary promo, which was newly animated. bsky.app/profile/wtk....

Just watched the brand-new dub of Cagliostro. It's friggin' fantastic. The movie's already a masterpiece, and this is definitely the best dub it's ever had. The cast is just as perfect here as ever, and while I miss some of the jokes from the older dub... overall this version is practically perfect.

Guessing Hathaway 1 and Endless Waltz. Hathaway never got a theatrical release because of COVID, the 2nd one isn't releasing for another few weeks so showing 1 as a refresher makes sense, and Murase did character designs on Wing and directs Hathaway. bsky.app/profile/wtk....

Important update: I have received word from insiders that Crunchyroll executives have deemed the user backlash to be small enough that their subtitle enshittification & OOONA plans will NOT be cancelled, only delayed. I have added an update to the article. There's a summary at the top now too.
