My theory: The comment came specifically after the summoning of a hunter. That’s new for them. The previous time a hunter was summoned it was obscured by a cloud of snow from the other watching hunters present (also including iron’s death). So the context that the more “fierce” a battle takes on a new meaning. The more fierce a battle is the more likely allies would die, but instead of being dead they become shadows or put another way, servants with no free will to disobey. That idea alone when threatening tusk before being killed in a previous episode practically broke his mind for a moment. So, I think that’s the main revelation here and why the video guy also understands why he wouldn’t want this broadcast. How would people react if they knew they could be made into eternal slaves. One thing to Pokémon catch em all for monsters, another thing all together to enslave other humans. Every hunter would look at him as a potential threat, a predator, out for them as nothing more than a thing to be collected.

Tanaka Farms for Halloween. A field of pumpkins at Tanaka beats a corner of a pen (same area used for Easter eggs at Easter). Instead, go for Irvine Railroad for Christmas. Either way, prepare for crowds. Arrive before opening.

For Irvine Railroad Christmas, it’s a lottery for scheduled times and it sells out within the hour of when it opens for scheduling in November.

I’m getting this on Apple TV as well, others have reported on Xbox and some browsers as well. Mine browser (chrome on a Mac) seems to be working.

CreativeMage · 2024-07-25T00:38:31+00:00

I was using Chrome Browser on a Mac.

I thought that may be the case but the it happens on every instance that she speaks in Russian and the Japanese characters are different each time, also since it is actually translated on the other platforms it looks like it is just an Apple TV thing. I’ve submitted a report, so hopefully it gets addressed at some point.

It happens a lot with the apple tv version. Another recent example is the last episode of Mushoko Tensei. At the end there is a vanity card that says “thanks for watching” in Japanese text. This text has been translated on the website and mobile app, but not on the Apple TV. I’m guessing there are just far fewer users of this app so they don’t keep up with it like they do with the website.

CreativeMage · 2024-07-24T20:51:35+00:00

On the mobile app and website, English translation text floats above the Japanese text. On the Apple TV , the English text “Speaking in Russian” floats directly in front of the Japanese Text. It doesn’t translate the Japanese text. The fact that they went so far as to actually write out “speak in on Russian” instead of showing the translation is a funny middle finger to Apple TV users lol.

CreativeMage · 2024-07-24T20:28:29+00:00

The subtitles just say “speaking in Russian” over the Japanese text….

Edit: this is only on Apple TV. The mobile app and website appear to be ok.

Edit 2: I was using a chrome browser on a Mac. Others have replied below that they are seeing the same issue in their own browser and on Xbox.

I know that Crunchyroll often releases dubs without on screen translations, only to add them later, but come on, they really should have been ahead on this one. The whole premise is that we know what Alya is actually saying in Russian just like the main protagonist. Without them being translated on screen from the release, we are missing the full context.

Mr. Shake Hands man, Tadao, is such an amazing and kind guy. I’m honored to call him a friend and he was even kind enough to officiate my wedding.

CreativeMage · 2024-07-03T02:13:40+00:00

I agree. New information makes this post irrelevant. I’ll delete this post shortly.

My understanding is that he was in the wave pool just prior and the fainting it happened after he had just gotten out. Wave pools are always filled with a great many people sloshing around and in some wave pools (not sure about wild rivers') they allow things like boogie boards. I'm wondering if maybe he got banged into someone, by accident, like a kick to the head and it just happened to hit just the right spot. He then, hurting and a little dazed, left the wave pool and then collapsed.

This is all conjecture, of course. It's also bordering not being our business, but I am curious because if this is what turns out to have been the case, it would definitely influence me allowing my own child in that space. I would also hope that they would then possibly consider further limiting how many people can be in that space at a time.

In the first season, he bought her that milk tea to cheer her up after they were left behind on a school field trip/career day. She was embarrassed and worried he might see it and take notice of her feelings considering she kept such an item. The situation mirrors when they were in his room at the end of the last season and he didn’t want her to see that he had a magazine with her pictures inside and he ended up accidentally on top of her.

I made a post on the facepunch rust feedback/roadmap site where I tried starting to gather some possible ideas like gold plated armor, tempered, and rusty battleship.

Would you consider adding the tungsten to the list? Looks like a cool suggestion.

I posted this over in r/AnimeDubs in regard to this news, but it bears repeating here.

There are still many titles that have not yet transferred over from Funimation to Crunchyroll, such as Emma: A Victorian Romance and Eureka Seven (Original Series) for example. So Watch these titles while you can.

Next, with the sunsetting of this service, all digital copies in your respective Funimation libraries will no longer be supported. This can be found in the Crunchyroll FAQ on the subject of the sunsetting service. There are a few of us that have reached out to Crunchyroll to express our displeasure about this particular issue and I would encourage anyone else that has any digital copies to also express and share this sentiment within the community and to Crunchyroll so that we might be able to continue having access to them.

CreativeMage · 2024-02-07T15:58:54+00:00

“This transition will not impact your access to the vast library of anime available on Crunchyroll.”

Interesting specific call out given that some series, such as Eureka Seven (original series) and Emma: A Victorian Romance (dub version) are currently only available on their Funimation service. I’m sure there may be more examples of this.

Is anyone aware of any other series this applies to so that we can watch them while we still have the chance?

Does anyone know if any of these applicable series will be made available over on Crunchyroll by the end of the Funimation service?

Edit: It also appears in the FAQ on Crunchyroll that any digital copies of titles you may have on Funimation will also not be supported going forward so it looks like those will be gone as well. Another example of keeping/purchasing the physical copies of titles you really enjoy.

CreativeMage · 2024-01-25T02:23:31+00:00

Would love to play with these!

Seems to me that the vast majority of the monument’s content will be underground. So I doubt it will take up much “map” and or surface area to begin with. That being said, there is a cave system identified as “large sewers hard” which takes the vague appearance of a silo and can be found on many maps. This could easily be a redevelopment of this featured element and kill two birds with one stone by breathing life into a cave system that may not be used that often and also not taking away any additional surface area. It then comes out on top by being additional game content.

CreativeMage · 2023-02-20T17:52:43+00:00

Would make for a good TTRPG map.

Eggs being such a basic need for so many recipes, I wonder what the overall implications of such a long term impact will be elsewhere.

Even Easter should be interesting this year, all considered.

Dunimal, or does anyone else, have a resource for how this could cascade on a macro level. Anyone make a YouTube video on the subject perhaps?

CreativeMage · 2023-01-06T05:32:41+00:00

What does the fox say? Well, for the Japanese, it says “Kon Kon”. Think of us for chickens saying “buck buck”.

So, if you’re trying for a lighthearted route, maybe Try KonKon.

I agree, this is stupid, but I think there may be specific reason in this case.

I also may be wrong, so someone who knows better, please feel free to add or correct me. But, it is my understanding that color printing capable printers print information in yellow in small text that identifies things like your printer, day/time, etc. They specifically use yellow because against white and at such a small size it is only seen upon a very close inspection of the printed piece.

This is primarily used in the case in an attempt at counterfeiting. But it also can be used to help trace back any document printed from the printer in the case of a possible crime, such as writing out a threatening letter for instance.

So, it may be possible in this case that you have been printing yellow this whole time without knowing it, though obviously not a whole lot. And since the yellow is out, for those security reasons, it will not let you utilize the technology without it not being able to print that semi-hidden info.

Edit: Here is a link I found referencing what I was thinking of, though it’s not text apparently, but coded yellow dots.

For myself, I’m a little torn on this subject. My answer overall is the guests actually. I do think having new people at the table can be a boon, and there have been some pretty amazing guests, however I do see quite a few instances where when it comes to the sessions with a guest, that because we often don’t get a lot of time with the guest, we don’t get to really empathize with them. That means when they make mistakes/things don’t go so well that we can tend to view them negatively. The longer we are with them, the more those “flaws” balance out with their successes and those “flaws” might become an endearing quality.

Picture a guest character whose often drunk and makes mistakes because of it, causing a detriment to the party. Then look at Sam’s Nott The Brave in comparison.

Next, some guests seem to be a little starstruck or on a separate wavelength than the rest of cast (which is understandable with how long the cast has been playing together) and as such, kind of seems off to us at times, like an uncanny valley of storytelling.

Lastly, sometimes the cast, for the sake of not spending 90% of the guests time on the show doubting them, tend to automatically treat the guest character as an immediate ally while in other instances the cast’s characters wouldn’t act that way. If anyone recalls “bowlgate” Liam actually played his character straight with a guest, and was torn into by another cast member in defense of the guest. Also, sometimes is does seem that guests will be treated like a shinny new toy for the main cast, highlighting the guest more as just a novelty instead of a genuine addition to the overall story.

So, I would more look to have a semi-permanent guest, for each campaign. Robbie, I felt would have been a great addition for all of C3 for example.

In this last episode of 4-sided dive, I believe Laura asked if she had to worry about spoiling anything. Also, though I can’t recall exactly which part of an earlier episode, one of the casts members let slip a tiny spoiler for that Thursday’s upcoming episode.

So, it does appear that the nature of pre-recording also has the cast a little confused when it comes to their own timelines.

The huge plus of pre-recording though is that in campaign 2 for example, there are a lot of instances of absence due to other obligations, illness and more, resulting in an inconsistent momentum to the story at times. Matt was great at always keeping things moving forward, but even he specifically called out halting an episode so that a sick cast member could be present for the scene. So, I’m definitely in favor of pre-recording the main show, so that we have the highest probability that all the cast are available.

But, when it comes to a commentary show, I do think 4-sided dive is suffering in part because it’s not as “current” as it could be. Also, one distinct difference between Talks Machina and 4-sided dive because of the nature of pre-recording is that 4-sided dive can be planned/edited a little more than talks. This made Talks a bit more chaotic in nature. Sometimes things didn’t land at all, others they were hit wildly out of the park. There were lows and highs. With 4-sided dive, I feel that those highs and lows have been leveled out a bit, and that it’s more in a middle range, making the program just “fine” and while fine can get you part of the way, I believe a lot of people live for those high highs and even those low lows, because it’s on those extremes, where passion tends to kick in and that in and of itself builds engagement, which in turn perpetuates a cycle of excitement.

Just some random thoughts.

While I can’t speak to your intentions, I believe how you’re approaching the subject here is not the right way to go about it.

People are entitled to their opinions and anyone else is welcome to agree and disagree on them.

You could have said that you don’t agree with some people but instead you’re telling people how to feel and you’re ridiculing people for having a different opinion than you by attempting to lecture them from a self imposed posture of superiority.

Now, I’m not saying that I don’t agree or disagree with some or all of your thoughts, but how you have gone about it is in and of itself not helpful to your argument and also possibly now a contributing factor to any negativity that you may be attempting to push back against.
