New article on ★ daiz.moe ★ Crunchyroll is destroying its subtitles for no good reason daiz.moe/crunchyroll-... A ton of research and effort went into this one. This is the article to read to get to the bottom of Crunchyroll's subtitle changes! Replies here will show up as comments (eventually)

AniTube is on one recently and I am here for it 😍😍😍 @mothersbasement.bsky.social @bonsaipop.bsky.social @colleensmangarecs.bsky.social

"[T]he best possible world can only come about when everyone is free to dream." This quote came out of a video essay. About One Piece. By @mothersbasement.bsky.social. And it's just... I think it's just correct.

New Basement Life video! @yazy.bsky.social and I sat down to share our thoughts on the Chainsaw Man movie youtu.be/hknW76QVt2E

Absolutely essential viewing from @mothersbasement.bsky.social! If you’re looking for more on this topic, we just published an episode with some experts in the field: youtu.be/kn3q_XTwSE0

10/10 #MustWatch

Let's talk about how One Piece became the official anime of The Revolution youtu.be/-VQ3e7YbFmw

American Fascism is so fucking lame, bro. Mussolini called back to Rome. Nazis made up this whole batshit aryan mythology to paper over Germany’s actual history as backwater barbarians. MAGA’s just like “remember when ads were full of white people and cars didn’t have pussy liberal crumple zones?”

finally watching Legend of the Galactic Heroes, it's kind of uncanny how much the Patriotic Knights Corps resembles a certain other group of masked thugs who brutalize the political enemies of their favorite guy whose name starts with T-R-U.

They should give the vice president a real job. This man clearly has far too much free time.

2025 was a year for the Anime History Books. But how does its last season compare to the past two bangers? youtu.be/cBwBDX_-7PA

"There's something different about the subtitles this season. Namely, they're all ass now." Isn't the problem that they're not .ass now?

It's time to talk about the enshittification of Crunchyroll youtu.be/B-DX0Zolr6g

Today is probably the biggest day for the fall anime season/Preview Guide and things are...not looking great on rollout today for Crunchyroll. Both MHA Final Season's first episode and the new season premiere for Spy Family are both up on Hulu. CR is 9 hrs late on MHA and it lacks EN subtitles

George Carlin neglected to mention that the Big Club we ain’t in is the Super Adventure Club

I think if Shinichiro Watanabe had waited until after the whole Tylenol Autism thing to make Lazarus, it would have turned out as a much better anime

y'all need to understand that "be more like FDR" isn't really an option for modern establishment democrats because their entire political project since FDR has been preventing the rise of the next FDR at any cost

Then they came for the Late Night Hosts, and I did not speak up because Fallon is annoying and Colbert fell off

Stop saying “oh so now you guys love cancel culture?” it’s called McCarthyism and the right has been doing it since The War. Proper, respectable free speech repression, from a simpler time.

With everything going on with YouTube lately, I think you should know about another problem that's particularly bad in the anime space, and getting worse everywhere. youtu.be/q95m-4Wm1to

I've seen A LOT of bad anime in my time as a professional anime enjoyer. Today, we run down the absolute worst of them youtu.be/rNIGWx8PIRg

look at this gorgeous cover art. haven't seen anything like this, and i've seen thousands and thousands and thousands of podcast branding images. really nice, solid work here -- looks great small, immediately understood, distinctive colors, and a style that's so fresh in this sphere of design

we started a podcast 👀 @mothersbasement.bsky.social @arkada.bsky.social @questforthebestpod.bsky.social

The Problem With Power Fantasy Anime youtu.be/A0j3KaH7vuA

“Appeal to triviality” isn’t even a real fallacy. “This is stupid and you’re stupid for caring about it” is just a regular ad hominem and nobody using a made up term for it is beating the stupid allegations

Games Journalism is when companies send out monthly catalogues of Stuff You Should Buy and the harder they try to sell you stuff the more Journalism it is

going live now at twitch.tv/geoffthew to announce the winners of the Mother's Basement Community Anime Awards!

unreal cultural moment we’re living through right now. the stupidest people alive are showing everyone their entire asses and treating anyone who tells them to put their pants back on like *they’re* the idiot

Real sorry about this, but my editing rig has been met with some catastrophic problems re: the power supply, motherboard, and possibly videocard. I'm looking at nearly 2 grand to get this thing fixed. ko-fi.com/kaiserneko Any help would be appreciated.

The lying is the point now. They are flexing power both by doing the thing, and by making their base scream at anyone who says they did the thing. Hundreds of thousands of people willing to vocally contradict their own lying eyes and call you a slur for saying what we all saw. Very scary stuff.

Look, I understand it’s upsetting that people would rather play video games than hang out with you, but I promise it’s not the video games.
