Hideaki Anno tiedotti studio Gainaxin päättymisestä virallisesti 42 vuoden jälkeen. Käytännössä studio oli jo kuollut yli 10 vuoden ajan ja on ollut konkurssimenettelyssä viime vuodesta lähtien.

Really great study on the rather troubling online discourse around Japanese language learning in certain portions of the web, focused on "techno-solutionism", consumption, and native bias just got published by a good buddy of mine. Open access too! Check it out @ academic.oup.com/applij/advan...

I wrote more words about how it feels to be a translator watching the games press report on AI and labor, coming from a field that's fought these battles for decades. It may look like I'm beating up on one outlet, but it's not about them; I've been trying to write this for me and my peers all year.

As the threat of AI translations and subtitles keeps rising, at some point we need to have the conversation about how the push for these are coming more from JP producers and publishers rather than western ones because the reality is Japan generally doesn't care that much about localization quality

One common challenge when translating horror manga is that the Japanese language is basically tailor-made for stories where it seems like characters carry on normal conversations with the protagonist for dozens of pages until you hit the last page and it turns out they're a ghost nobody can perceive

An interesting detail in Steel of the Celestial Shadows: Daruma Matsuura sometimes uses a digital brush with a halftone texture to achieve a transparent ink-painting look.

It would be easy to just use a solid gray, but that would stick out from the other textured half-tones in the art.
