A real joy getting to share space with so many wonderful writers and shine a spotlight on such an eclectic mix of titles!

Relished the opportunity to extol the virtues of DOWN LOAD. Here's a short sample from its opening, showcasing just a few of its many and varied pleasures.

I've slowly been working on series of article tracing the history of Heavy Gear, the VOTOMS-influenced tabletop game that arrived in 1995 and still exists today. The game's origins lay with a couple of early anime magazines, Protoculture Addicts and Mecha Press.

Kyoko's final serve in her match against Hiromi from episode 4 of Aim for the Ace (1973) is one of my very favorite sequences in all anime.

The rapid cuts, the remarkable use of hatching this early in the show, and that absolutely incredible cut of Kyoko chasing the ball before it hits the court.

OH, Look! Another game translated by magic!

This right here is quite dangerous in these times. Why? By erasing us translators from our jobs it makes it easier to replace us with GenAI.

We've always been invisible. That gave them a leverage in introducing MTPE and lowering our rates.
Nioh 3, developed by Koei Tecmo and localized in 11 languages, does NOT feature any #TranslatorsInTheCredits. A few members of Localization staff are included in the LQA credits, but none of the actual translators are credited. Source: GamersPrey

Guys, the Jada Toys Mega Man line may be one of the best modern action figure lines, period. Flawless in appearance, feel good in the hand, come with every last bit you'd want with 'em. Wow. Now, when the hell is wave 4 supposed to go up for preorder? I need my Snake Man.

A piece of artwork from The Ninja Warriors which I have no idea where it was used (if I have to guess, most likely on a Japanese magazine) or who's the artist. Usual upscale/clean/retouch process applied.

I don't really advertise myself in any meaningful way, so reposts and telling your friends are really the best way you can help me out (aside from signing up for the patreon)
Self-promotion is the part of this that I hate the most, but I should probably mention that there's a new patreon tier. For as low as $2 a month, you can read my translation of Tomino's epic lifework before anyone else (and support me enough to ensure that I can keep doing this)

Mechtober 2021 Day 31: Elmedine | Dragon's Heaven

Dragon's Heaven is one of my favorite OVAs, and Kobayashi's spectacular designs are a huge part of that. Elmedine's oversized head, spindly limbs, and small frame are the perfect contast to Shaian, on top of being so cool on his own.
