I can’t help but be worried that this is happening with the aid of AI. Of course it could work that way, but only if there are people proofreading and ensuring quality. I’m optimistic, but nervous that we might see a drop in the quality of translations. Fingers crossed for the best case scenario, of course.

That’s great news! I remember it took Kaguya-sama: Love is War ages to get a full official translation, and The Legend of the Galactic Heroes/銀河英雄伝説 still doesn’t have one.
