Reintroducing myself!
I’m David, home video producer + Director of Restoration & Authoring at post-production co. MediaOCD, working w/labels like our own @animeigo.bsky.social & @wholegrainpictures.bsky.social, @discotekmedia.bsky.social, Anime Ltd. & more! Maybe I’ve worked on some of your faves?
Now listen. I’m a defender of gaijin here in Japan. I think gaijin in Japan are a good thing.

But not when they do shit like this. Do better, guys. You are making all of us look bad with this unacceptable behavior.

Do this shit anywhere else for all I care. Just don’t do it here.

The extreme/stark culture clash of East VS West couldn’t be clearer than fan opinions of the situation regarding Maya Imamori & her sudden termination from this year’s Super Sentai, already 37eps in. It’s gotten pretty ugly on both sides, as these things tend to do.
Can’t help but feel bad for her.

Forgot to post but the weather was perfect, so we went on a picnic the other day with homemade bentos (none of it made by me of course)

Some people asked me if there was a way to donate to me directly. While I am extremely uncomfortable about this, a lot of close friends convinced me I should set something up, so I set up a ko-fi for those that expressed this. Please do not feel obligated. ko-fi.com/ashuraou

Seeing official US government accounts posting and engagement baiting on Twitter as if they are Reddit mods is truly a sight to see.

It seems that visas are allegedly being revoked for hate speech regarding Charlie Kirk. I get that calls for violence shouldn’t be tolerated, but it is so one-sided.

Hey friends. After having open heart surgery in Dec and another procedure in July, I've been left in 10k+ debt while recovering. During this, we were also laid off from Skullgirls. To try to help dig myself out, I have begun listing things on eBay: ebay.com/usr/mshinzan

The title “Bastard chickens who don’t know how to shut up” for this gachapon got a pretty good chuckle out of me

Losing an entire promised audio track, several commentary tracks, and mixed up disc labels is enough to raise a fuss about. The Dirty Pair Kickstarter fiasco is the gift that keeps on giving, and my shipment is still only processing.

I think what's so frustrating about the Dirty Pair issues for me isn't the mistakes themselves because hey, they happen. Lord knows I've had mistakes slip through before, and things like the disc art switch might not be CR's direct fault, although they should have checked the discs before shipping.

So, folks are finally getting their Dirty Pair BDs after 4 fucking years, & here’s the TLDR on what we all expected
1. Several missing stretch goals
2. Bootleg-tier art design/packaging. Cases are low quality & discs are stacked
3. No menu music. It takes <5sec to cut an OP out of an audio file btw

Visited Ishinomaki, Miyagi Prefecture. Shotaro Ishinomori, who is from the area, and his legacy are celebrated here, and as such, the streets (the main one of which is called Manga Road) are filled with Kamen Rider, Cyborg 009, and more statues!

You’d think Trump & his goonsquad would be defending free speech in honor of Kirk’s death, but here they are silencing those who oppose him, just as they did with 60 Minutes, just as they did with Colbert (allegedly).
“Free speech for me but not for thee” is not in the constitution, fucking toddlers
