Princession Orchestra - 32 Wake up, Princess. We have Alicepia to save. yamatotoma.to/2025-12-01-p...

well well well, if it isn't Santa and her Reindeer, next Sunday

If Group A finals are too hard for you, go to Group B finals and destroy them all.

nekobt [dot] to is now officially up in open beta, and it's goal is to be more focused on releases by fansubbing groups (but is not limited by them), with all the appropriate filters, categorization, etc. There's still a lot of stuff for the owners to polish, but now at least it's fully functional.

Every time there's an episode without my involvement, it's always a crazy one bsky.app/profile/yame...

Had to go all the way to 200 unfortunately, but at least I caught some additional friends on the way bsky.app/profile/nons...

I've realized that I've been in "write-only" mode with my social media accounts for a while. That's cool and healthy, but if someone wants me to see something, they're gonna have to show it directly (or with a mention). ┐(￣∀￣)┌

the digitan fund is ready

uma's translators are wonderful, once again

I feel like if you're here you already know my stance on this but if you're willing to put in that little bit of extra effort, deconstructing the terrible shit that makes you hit the desk to figure out *why* both helps you appreciate the good stuff and teaches you what to avoid in your own work

whenever I tell you to watch "bad" anime, it's because it's a learning opportunity. you'll never grow (particularly as a creator, but also as a viewer) if you don't try things that don't obviously appeal to you, or that you don't vibe with

Two types of people

Princession Orchestra - 30 What's the password? yamatotoma.to/2025-11-15-p...

When you work with people who watched (and fansubbed) too much precure

tattooing that directly onto my eyeballs

Had to watch a Jackie Chan movie for translation research this week

why hello there

For technical reasons this week's release might be late (as if the previous wasn't, but it is what it is)

New "Trainer card" feature in uma is perfect because they allow you to zoom in. It's basic humor, and it works

november? no way it's november

Princession Orchestra - 29 Your Musessence is not impressive enough, gotta work on that. yamatotoma.to/2025-11-08-p...

Kaneko is back with some old lore. He considers his true debut game to be Pop'n Magic (1992, PC Engine), where he wasn't just an assistant of any kind or doing cleanup after a useless colleague, but rather the main planner (and got paid appropriately).

Nothing quite as funny as doing another random online test, and getting a "you're the most normal person ever" result. It's like a really bad flex.

Seems like they have fully convinced me to leave the other platform now.

Princession Orchestra - 28 The girls go to a library, and the experience was anything but boring. yamatotoma.to/2025-11-01-p...

The Amemiya short is the most Amemiya thing imaginable, bless this man

bet I'll sleep through the release timing again

Generally the best road to happiness online is realizing that its not worth picking fights with some random mfs you dont know on a personal level and just posting what you want upfront. Go tweet about the rat you saw dropkick a pigeon or how we dont eat enough sauerkraut.

ain't that the truth

Another episode with our wonderful second translator involved (since I had to take a break). Lots of fun bsky.app/profile/yame...

Princession Orchestra - 27 Speed 3: Triad Force. yamatotoma.to/2025-10-23-p...

Princession Orchestra - Opening 2 (subbed, singable)

Princession Orchestra - 26 Welcome back to the wild ride. (we will catch up soon enough, don't worry) yamatotoma.to/2025-10-20-p...

Alas, subs will be late this week. I can't come up with a joke reason, so just it is what it is.

I sure hope this week is not gonna be full of new songs to deal with

Felt really bad turning down a tl commission recently, as it was related to some cool supplemental material for a late 90s anime, but unfortunately I don't want to burn out as I already have plenty of things on hand.

The social media detox continues, and I love it. Playing more videogames just makes me feel better. Bless videogames.

Princession Orchestra - 25 “The fake is of far greater value. In its deliberate attempt to be real, it’s more real than the real thing.” yamatotoma.to/2025-10-10-p...

aight then

NEW VIDEO!! A complete retrospective on the long dormant but excellent second party Nintendo series, Custom Robo! This video covers everything from the series brief but fantastic run! RT's, comments, hype (that's a thing on YT now) are very appreciated!! youtu.be/p2Rnn4P4wqg

lol CR switched to a worse subtitling pipeline so now they have flashes between lines and unreadable monospace fonts for onscreen text

bishoujo in my modern silent hill (hell yeah)

Princession Orchestra - 24 “Now, here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that!” yamatotoma.to/2025-09-25-p...

The modern state of social media forces people to care too much about every single thing that's happening. It especially likes to abuse your empathetic nature. That's not good for your mental. bsky.app/profile/yeee...

The song lyrics document this time was a commentary hell bsky.app/profile/yame...

"How does he keep doing it?" Every time I ask myself. Behind this question there are decades. And the answer? Does it even exist? The search continues.
