The one about director Shin Oonuma
This is an updated version of a piece written for "Moni-Mode SHAFT Anime Critique Volume II"

It's not the most in-depth article and glances over quite a lot, but Oonuma has a pretty big worklist so it can't be helped

Being against generative AI is the correct stance ethically, but people should really put more thought into what the stance means and how to interact with media through that lens. My first opinion piece in a while

Generative AI is a problem of our times, but so are those who blindly accuse creators of using it.

This is such a stupid and superficial post. Yes Qzil.la is a bad company with involvement in Ai bu they also produced plenty of animation that has no Ai in it.

This project is helmed by a talented team of industry veterans, and dismissing their work like this with no proof is a bad look.
I hadn't heard of Qzilla, the production company behind Crunchyroll's Sekiro anime. The trailer okay, but something felt kind of off. Looked them up on MAL and they didn't seem to have much motion in terms of the thirteen things its produced. Checked the company website and lo and behold.

The director is Kenichi Kutsuna, just because Qzilla is producing it, who have not this far used AI, and which has been in the works since before generative AI was a thing, does not make this an "affront to human creativity"
Don't be a fearmongering idiot
