    Crunchyroll and the use of AI in anime subtitles

    The end of anime? Well it is another nail in the coffin from my perspective. Crunchyroll wants to sack its translators and use AI for subtitling instead. https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2024-02-27/crunchyroll-confirms-testing-a.i-for-subtitling/.208086 Just no!

    One Piece Live Action Trailer

    Am I completely insane to be excited by this trailer? Because I actually think this looks good, faithful to the original, everything the Cowboy Bebop live action should have been…

    Madman Entertainment has been erased.

    And the Sony edit continues, destroying anime history without a second thought. https://store.crunchyroll.com.au/ That's what you get if you try to find Madman anime now.

    And the paywall goes up around Crunchyroll!

    They may have previously said that only new content would be paywalled, but it seems that they are sneakily placing back catalogue shows as subcription only, slowly ditching the ad-supported free model...

    This is the last time...

    It's easy to drop anime. You start watching and the show sucks, and you stop. Sometimes (especially when you're a reviewer) you watch a whole series through and vow never to watch it again... Oreimo Season 2, J'accuse! Usually I give a show a second chance, it might have sucked the first time...

    A Gundam Themed PC Build

    I'm addicted to Youtube, and came across this video that might interest, Jayz2Cents builds a Gundam Themed PC. You might want to avoid if the GPU situation makes your head explode as it contains a 3080...

    Site resurrection weirdness, Eyeonanime?

    I used to visit Eyeonanime years ago, it was a nice, homey site that really thrived best in the DVD age. Just out of curiosity I clicked the old dead link, and found some content on there. Not a lot, but some. Anyone know what's going on? Is it a genuine nostalgia trip, or has someone bought the...

    Anime versus reality, interesting video

    This isn't about voice acting per se as it is about scripted dialogue, and how anime characters' language differs from real world Japanese. I guess not every toddler speaks like Stewie Griffin

    Viz Media Europe, Kaze, Anime On Demand is all now Crunchyroll

    https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2020-04-02/viz-media-europe-sas-changes-name-to-crunchyroll-sas/.156353 I read this news twice, checked the date, but it doesn't look like an April fool. Crunchyroll apparently has bought out Viz Media Europe and all their subsidiaries and holdings...

    New GITSSAC trailer

    For once, I don’t want to watch a new Ghost in the Shell. Pants doesn’t begin to describe this.

    Renting discs by post is still a thing?

    I was just curious about this, and it turns out that there is a company called Cinema Paradiso which still does the old discs by post thing, Blu-ray and DVD. So any of these anime not available to stream? https://www.cinemaparadiso.co.uk/world-cinema/anime-and-animation/page-1/?sortby=0,inc=0

    Tanuki on the loose

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-nottinghamshire-48451094 I don't know where Clarborough is, but be careful if you're local, and find yourself in a Pom Poko parade!

    So what just happened at UK Anime Network?

    Last week a podcast was put up that apparently offended several people, and was subsequently pulled... The fallout has included a resignation, change in editorial staff. And contributors are leaving the site. Tweet Tweet This is anime, stuff that we watch to have a good time. Suddenly a major...

    New Site: Bugs, Feedback, and Questions

    Now that the front of the site is back, I suppose it's inevitable that this thread would be necessary, so I took the liberty of starting it with a question... Is there any alphabetical listing of reviews to browse through as on the old site, or the possibility of creating one? Otherwise...

    What do you think about audio commentaries?

    Are they just filler to "make up" extras where Japanese companies are unwilling to part with material, or are they of actual use and of interest? I love me a Clementary, as he's to anime what Bey Logan is to kung fu, always informative, always interesting, and always entertaining. You learn...

    Funimation.com got hacked...

    UK Anime Network has the news. I had a quick look at my account, and all I have on there is my e-mail address and a password. No identity to steal. I tried the HPI Identity leak checker and it seems that August 2016, an account was compromised, which would tally with what the news item says...

    How do new anime fans get into the medium?

    When I were a lad, this was all fields as far as the eye could see, and they used to show anime on TV. That's how I got into anime, stubling across Channel 4's Late License and watching shows like Legend of the 4 Kings, and Cyber City Oedo 808, as well as catching movies like Akira and Wings of...
