......I'm back?

Just a quick one summarizing the anime enshiffitifaction we've been experiencing the past 6 months (AI-subs, shitty typesetting, AI-cc, and AI dubs.)

I'll be back to my deep-dives on animanga localization next year, TBD.
thanks, AI hate it

Language -- especially spoken language -- is complicated.
Machine translation is a great tool for certain situations, but it's still extremely limited. We're many years away from a true Babelfish.
Apple markets its new AirPods as being able to translate other languages directly in your ears. When @matteowong.bsky.social tested out the tool, it was barely able to help him buy flowers or tamales:
Lost in AirPod Translation
Apple promises to put an AI interpreter in everyone’s ears. It couldn’t even help me order tamales.

Happy Father's Day to Satoshi's dad, whoever he is! Satoshi's father (and grandfather!) were first brought up by his mom in the second episode of the original Pocket Monsters (1997) series, "Showdown! Pokémon Center!" The episode debuted on TV-Tokyo on April 8th, 1997.

Scanlation/piracy discourse is back!

This is what I had to say a few Halloweens ago.

It's a nuanced topic, and I find consumers and creators often talk past each other because we frame the conversation differently.

While I have your attention...

Otaku elders built the anime industry in the West.

It’s up to today’s otaku to save it from AI and corporate enshittification.

we desperately need fans to:

A. know that AI localization will absolutely ruin their favorite manga, anime, games, and books

B. fan outrage over AI use is one of the best and only ways we can fight back.

most loc professionals are freelance. we're not union. we have no power.

Fans must speak up.

I am a human being with over 200 videos on my channel teaching Japanese from beginner level to advanced.

Styles range from textbook-style grammar breakdowns to teaching Japanese through anime, songs, and guided manga and light novel translation.

Just sayin'.

happy first birthday to Bluesky, and what a year it's been!

with every day, the need for an open network that puts people first becomes increasingly clear. we're glad to be building this with you. after all, the heart of a social network is the people.

Oh, so p*rn accounts have made their way over here too...

Are you an anime fan? Then watch this.

It's long, but I condensed everything I've wanted to say about anime, my role in the industry over the years, and my current feelings on it.

(Also, multiverse shenanigans galore!)

Fred Rodgers on the importance of making something even if other people don't think it's good had me crying this morning. Passing it along for anyone else that might need it.

You're not "late to the party" when you enjoy an old book for the first time. Books don't have an RSVP deadline. The party started long ago, and guests show up when they're meant to.

I do like how intimate bluesky is and the fact that it's growing even more is exciting, but I don't think it'll ever reach the heyday of the bird app.
