I hope they keep the current art style. Love the return to a more classic style, though I wish they went a bit further with it personally.

According to the Japan Actors Union, the new guidelines protect the dignity, reputation and legacy of deceased actors from commercial exploitation. Therefore, companies will be banned from using deceased actors’ voices for AI, with the exception of projects that the deceased had agreed to participate in during their lifetime. Even with this exception, companies will have to obtain prior written consent from the deceased’s bereaved family members, as well as the agency or organization with which the deceased was affiliated, and pay them royalties.

This bit is interesting to me. I was curious what they might say about AI cloning if the estate/family agree to it. It seems like that doesn’t even matter, and the only time it is allowed is if the person agreed to the specific project and for their voice to be used for AI on that project only.

I mean, if I was a voice actor that did well enough that people wanted to use AI for my voice and I was dead, I would definitely hope my family could still get paid royalties from it. I wouldn’t care, I would be worm food after all, but if it could benefit my family there isn’t a doubt that I would agree to it if I could. But this law basically is saying nome of that matters, and its really only a clause to grandfather in specific projects only and not for any further ones, basically leaving the estate/family with zero royalties after projects end.

Looks very Black Lagoon.

Isn’t breathing more about the diaphragm? I mean, you need lungs to breath obviously, but ever tried breathing without moving your diaphragm?

When it says a movie was “moved,” does that mean it was added as its own category separate from the franchise it belongs to?

For example, the two Robotech movies. They belong to rhe Robotech IP, but they arent part of the show. Previously, Crunchyroll had them as a season labelled “Movies” under the show with each episode being each movie. That created a bit of confusion at first, but it did make finding movies connected to a series a bit easier by just finding the series and checking the seasons.

What does this mean for that now? Is it easier or harder to navigate to the listed movies?

“Yeah, I’m not a fan of peak.”

Ok, well those are my two suggestions.

• Neon Genesis Evangelion, obviously. “Evangelion Finally” is the latest release on LP. ~$42 USD right now on Amazon.
• Halo 3 triple vinyl set, available for ~$62 on Amazon right now.

Perhaps, but then you kill that person and the power vacuum that is now created is likely to attract someone so much worse. There is no guarantee the next person will be better than the current one, and getting rid of the current one may bring someone worse, which would be your doing.

Pretty sure that would be the most lethal genocide in human history

I’m not giving Sony any more money. Crunchyroll already sold and leaked my data illegally like 4 times. No more.

Dang, he played Minos in Heaven’s Lost Property, too.

Rip to a legend.

Those aren’t goblins. Those are smurfs.

I have a feeling this one might not be as good as the older series. Seems to be a trend with recent remakes or mew asditions to classic series.

Except GitS, which I think is a unique exception.

“Yes.”

Bubblegum Crisis (DO NOT start with Tokyo 2040, start with the original OVA first, it has better aesthetics and art) is always a recommendation from me. Along with the related series Bubblegum Crash, AD Police Files, Parasite Dolls, and A.D. Police.

Armitage III has a cyberpunk aesthetic but on Mars, the story isn’t perfect but it’s interesting enough. The original, not the movie with Kiefer Sutherland which is just the OVAs cut down into a movie.

Dominion Tank Police was a fun series.

Goku Midnight Eye is all attitude and little substance. I really liked it, but don’t watch it expecting an intricate plot. Its just entertainment, not more. But its cool entertainment.

Cyber City Oedo 808 is another one that isnt that deep but oozes pure classic cyberpunkium.

They intentionally wanted to make the shot-for-shot remake fail so they can point at it “still failing” and continue to ruin more remakes.

I think people severely underestimate the freak of the average healthcare worker.

I’ll check out his channel, maybe I will find something I don’t know about yet lol.

I don’t really collect them, just picked them up over the years for viewing and held onto them ever since. Same with all my VHS tapes and DVDs. It’s not really for any sort of “preservation effort” per se, as there are already really clean digital copies of what I have available online and even on streaming platforms in some cases, just that I bought them and used them like any other normal person does. Hopefully they still work after I die, maybe the next generation will have interest to use them (and not just hoard them to sell at auction after being graded at some corrupt auction house like Heritage).

I have to be honest chief, I have no idea who that is.

For context, I own a LaserDisc Player, and a good amount of anime OVA LDs.

Ex Arm is pretty bad, but I am fairly certain it has more total animation frames. Honestly, why even waste the time with so many frames? Twinkle Nora Rock Me! proved peak didnt need all those extra frames, its just waiting for the cult classic revival it deserves.

… Any day now…

there is no universal peak thing.

Say you haven’t watched Twinkle Nora Rock Me without saying you haven’t watched Twinkle Nora Rock Me, fake fan.

At first glance I thought this was a reference to Armitage III and had to do a double take.

Since GKIDS is an American company formed in 2008, your have to consider what the average American in 2008 thought about anime. And for the 99% of them, they are cartoons. And cartoons are for children. Do that explains that.

Ironically, in Japan, there isn’t much of a distinction between anime and cartoons. They’re both called anime, which is just short for animation or animated work. So for the Japanese, Tetsujin 28, Berserk, Disney’s Sleeping Beauty, and Shrek are all “anime.”

Ironically, Goblin Slayer returns to the intensity of its first episode basically never again in the show.

I mean, this kind of argument is a bit stupid. Are we supposed to not recommend any books because garbage like Mein Kampf exists (and is infact still printed today)? That’s some certified Grade A trash that is permanently associated with books.

Let’s be real, are any of them honest? You know the answer.

Anime used to be multiple pictures of a piece of plastic with paint on it

So the inspiration is they made it yellow and made the dial hands look a little like gauges?

Maybe when the person was young they did something and they are older and have proven to not be a repeat offender? Rare case, I know, but still possible.

To me it just sounds like a legal out to say any or all of them are deemed ethically unacceptable so they can fire them without legal issues. Japan has whack employment laws, and businesses will almost always try to make you quit before they fire you. I can see this wording being related to something like that.
