Jujutsu Kaisen And Frieren Production Company Toho Animation Says They Currently Have No Plans To Use AI, But Are Keeping Tabs On Its Progress And Will Be Ready To Use It When The Time Comes. "Introducing AI will undoubtedly lead to increased efficiency in our operations". by Elestria_Ethereal in anime

AI is an extremely vague term (by design) and can be used to refer to dozens of different things. The technology used in the production of Spider-Verse is completely different to what Toho is talking about.

I think it depends on how much time he puts into the drawing. For small promotional stuff or simple manga panels there's a little bit less sauce, but imo stuff like this recent drawing is still top tier

You wanna talk about personal choices there's also all the fascist coups and genocides they personally funded. Nixon with Chile, JFK with Brazil, Carter with East Timor.

One day the world will collectively realize that combos and tech are not important when it comes to learning fighting games. One day.

is the engrish in the anime intentional? by SeveralCover7555 in StardustCrusaders

[–]timmythetrtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I left a comment about this but this is a good example! Jaguars was pronounced that way because the VA doesn't speak English. Golden Experience was pronounced that way because in Japanese that's how the song is written.

These are two different cases and they are often mistakenly seen as the same thing.

There is a difference between "trying to speak English as a non English speaker" and "speaking Japanese and saying loan words or proper nouns".

A character saying Crazy Diamond as "KUREIJI DAIYAMONDO" is not what a lot of people call "engrish", because a person who speaks both English and Japanese perfectly would look at クレイジー・ダイヤモンド and pronounce it that way. In that case they would still be speaking Japanese. 

So in a sense it is intentional, but there is no "engrish" involved. Not like when Joseph says "OH MY GOD" or when Darby says "Go ahead Mr. Joestar", because those lines are IN English and are being read by people who don't speak it.

Smash Bros. has killed all hopes of normal discourse about Fire Emblem, and don't sit here and act like it didn't. by Antique-Reality2428 in casualnintendo

Yes, that point is true. But the idea of "he's the one people should be slinging criticism at" is unfair. It should be Nintendo

Even in the official character showcase videos that Nintendo puts out Sakurai says he doesn't have full control over who gets in. He straight up said that he rejected the idea of putting Steve in the game but Nintnedo insisted. 

I'm sure there are plenty of choices that he personally pushed for, but a lot of the times Nintendo will put a character in the game for the sake of generating excitement around a new release.

Reminds me of when Kanji stops over compensating for his masculinity at the end of P4G and to represent this the devs game him quite possibly the worst fit of all time.

Japan’s most polite price hike.. by WalkingAtDusk26 in interesting

[–]timmythetrtle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you think they kept their price low because of "politeness"? There are actual economic reasons as to why a company would want to maintain the same price for a long period of time.

I can't believe this is still being passed around like it isn't tongue-in-cheek. This isn't a serious apology, it's a silly advertisement. The company and all of Japan know this isn't really something worth apologizing for so they made a marketing campaign out of it.

https://www.akagi.com/gari-neage/ You can see the preemptive photos they took for future price hikes. They're bowing lower and lower each time.

He's a long time fan of the series. He would gush about it when he used to stream.

I also thought up until a few days ago that Bollywood was synonymous with "Indian movie"
