It doesn't seem that long ago that you were often discouraged from using Wiki as a "real source" for facts, and now it's basically the last bastion of human knowledge

Don't look, but the usual suspects are in the comments, posting their usual laundry lists of complaints – stuff like "Homura" being changed to "Pyra" and anime dub scripts.

sarjis jonka tein Parnasso -kulttuurilehteen viime vuonna siitä, kun törkyprojekti tyssäsi luottokorttifirmojen sekoiluun. Oletteko kuulleet, että EU ajaa nyt omaa digieuroa, joka jopa korvaisi pienyrittäjiltä välistävetävät ja arvaamattomat luottokorttifirmojen palvelut? Kyllä kiitos! #sarjakuva

this knocked me out

HiAnime is dead, so here's a few important pieces of context to remember: 1. It was the biggest bootleg anime platform in the States, accounting for ~15% of all anime piracy with ~4M US monthly users per White Box analysis.

Uusi elokuvamme BUSHIDO saapuu elokuvateattereihin 17. huhtikuuta. Asemansa menettänyt köyhä samurai Yanagida ystävystyy rikkaan liikemiehen kanssa go-lautapelin kautta. Ystävyys joutuu koetukselle, kun suuri rahasumma katoaa. Lisäksi Yanagidan saama järkyttävä viesti kutsuu hänet hakemaan kostoa.

I find this interesting because he’s actually on the opposite end of the spectrum from average Twitter users in that he believes English is flavorless LOL. Most monolingual English speaking people complain that English localizations are too colorful.

Repost with more clarity: How much English does Yuji Horii (and also Ishiyama) speak? Because if they think the way we say "I" is the only way we describe someone's character and personality while we speak, then they don't know very much. We have... other words that we also use while speaking.

A thread on Helsinki Cine Aasia 2026. #helsinkicineaasia

Friendly reminder self-reported “porn addiction” is correlated with personal guilt over using porn, statistics suggest self-identifying “porn addicts” are actually consuming porn at a relatively normal rate — they just feel uniquely bad about it due to their religious values

I wish I understood the EN speaking nerd obsession with putting categories and labels on things. I’m not talking about tagging or w/e (I guess that could be related though) but like in j-fashion the obsessive need with giving every aesthetic a specific name, or in the art community naming styles

Oh, Sara Minami has a Marimekko tote bag. www.instagram.com/p/DLzWwX3Pwg9/

Everyone's busy being angry at Shogakukan, but it's also worth to take a closer look at the actual criminal case itself. In this case it feels more relevant to describe the defendant as a "high school art teacher (who also works as a manga artist)". www.tokyoreporter.com/japan-news/s...

Of course, a big problem trying to make people understand this argument is that many people have only a vague familiarity with porn. To them, the word itself is primarily associated with live-action productions with real actors, and is an issue related to "protecting women".

For Publishers Weekly, I got to write about one of my favorite comics trends: manga for older readers. Like me! www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

“Yuzuki believes that books about the struggle of insecure work, including Sayaka Murata’s Convenience Store Woman (translated by Ginny Tapley Takemori) and Kikuko Tsumura’s There’s No Such Thing as an Easy Job (translated by Barton), opened doors to Western readers.” #translation #booksky #japan

"We owe conspiracy theorists a huge apology" No we fucking don't. They were talking about a secret conspiracy of gay trans Jewish lizard people. The Epstein files uncovered a conspiracy of rich, straight, white, right-wing Christian men, which these motherfuckers never even considered.

Skeb has launched their official BlueSky account! In March they plan to add Bluesky as a new connected social network, in the same way you can with Twitter & Misskey! (They also mentioned a potential promotional campaign, which may reduce fees for creators during this period) This is exciting!

Prime Video Sucks for Anime

You wouldn’t translate a car’s ハンドル as “handle”. You wouldn’t translate a ハイタッチ as “high touch”. So why would you translate 「」 as “”? True facts: 99% of the time, you shouldn’t, and here’s why. Translation theory thread!🧵👇

Had a dream that there was global panic about the world running out of oxygen, Nintendo was the only video game company to make a statement about it, and the internet collectively spent its final hours on Earth debating whether Nintendo was being genuine or not

I have a friend who said, of Starfleet Academy, that this took them out of it - that seeing a person in a wheelchair in the 32nd century seemed unrealistic, since medicine in Star Trek "should be able to cure whatever was wrong with them." That's not the case, for any number of possible reasons.

As I've been on a roll with Star Trek threads today, let's continue with this one: you know one of the best parts of Geordie's visor? 90% of the time, nobody fucking mentions it.

Porting over another thread: Thinking a lot about Worf. About how, though he's the only lens we get on what Klingon culture is "supposed" to look like, somehow, we never meet other Klingons who live up to his expectations, much less to his example. Because he's a true believer. He bought in.

Talven 2026 animestriimit Suomessa. Ketjussa huomioita:

Someone asked me why aren't folks getting laid off in the anime journalism community after seeing so many headlines about the game journalism. I reminded them that majority (not everything) is free/low/volunteer labor unless you work for the handful of major publications like ANN & CR.

Every once in a while Japanese entertainment subtly reminds you that the Japanese social security system is Different from the Finnish one.

"Wow, what made you decide to pursue a degree in Japanese Studies?" idk. your country's cultural soft power played right into my poor decision-making skills, I guess??

#Desucon -luentoni Ghibli-ruoasta on nyt katsottavissa Youtubessa. Naurattaa, kun (varmaan siis vahingossa??) videon thumbnailiksi on päätynyt diojen ainoa kuva Makoto Shinkain elokuvasta.

It feels incredulous that anyone could look at the Mappa announcement and think "this means they're producing more WOKE STUFF" instead of "this means they're producing more boring Shinichiro Watanabe stuff". But of course some people only see what they want.

Se ois sit taas #Desucon alkamassa! Meitsi puhuu huomenna eli lauantaina 24.1.2026 klo 18.30 - 19.45 Puuseppä-salissa aiheesta "Kiitti supervoimista faija - Vanhemmuus My Hero Academiassa". Tosi bängerit setit vaikka itte sanonki! 😎 @desucon.fi #faijaposting

Immortality and Punishment! The first volume of this bleak zombie apocalypse manga dropped yesterday and I was tasked with some challenging, complicated bits of localization. So let's talk about it!

FANBOXに載せた英語翻訳の違いの比較おもしろいのでこちらでも見て欲しい！！ 今回同人誌の公式英訳版がイロ鳥コミックスさんから出たことで、DLsiteと2種類の英訳版が存在することになったのですが 日本語では タケル「心頭滅却するか…抜くしかないだろ」 若葉「ぬく…？」 というセリフが入ります。それぞれを翻訳アプリで訳すと 🔳DLsite版 タ「…そのことを頭から追い出すか… …さもなくば、問題を処理するかだ。」 若「処理する…？」 🔳イロ鳥版 タ「世俗的な考えをすべて頭から追い出せ… さもなくば、自分の肉を叩け。それだけだ」 若「たたく…？」 という風に同じ英語なのにセリフが全然違う！
