If people like it, that’s fine and I totally get it. But I still maintain that if it wasn’t for just how popular it was back in the day, Funimation’s English dub for Dragon Ball Z would be considered on par with 4Kids’ One Piece.
Friends, #weebwednesday is upon us once again! You know the drill - quote-post with your weebiest hot takes, nothing racist, nothing intentionally inflammatory, have fun with it ♥

I often think about Jonathan Cooper's posts about TLOU2, that the studio ran out of seasoned game animators because its reputation was so bad and thus had to hire film folks who had to be taught how to put games together.

This is going to be one or two outcomes:
1) An animated masterpiece thanks to Sunrise being able to rein in Oshii's worst impulses
2) A piece of genuinely FASCINATING garbage that we'll be talking about for a while.
in either case, it's going to be interesting, at the very least.

i have to respect the 100,000% commitment to chuuni that permeates even their genre name, also they have explicitly disavowed genAI because quote "we value having an art style" so i will be there day one
![To round things out, I ask the team about the hottest topic of the moment, gen-AI, to which Iizuka emphasizes a belief in creative control and design that comes from the hearts of the team making it. "We have not used generative AI for Code Vein 2," Iizuka confirms, "largely because we do value art style and how it looks, the aesthetic elements of it. Especially because we are creating a very original world - we do value the logic behind [that world], but also the cohesiveness of everything, as well as creating the total world-view experience for the players."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:mkfyrffhvre6k6jskx7lfaqt/bafkreiddjx4b25fhnf5x3rzaechrbddi6hrqpmdniygjguv3qhjgy7kaiy@jpeg)

former meta employees tell me that a fourth studio, camouflaj, was also hit hard by recent layoffs. unlike the other three, it remains open, but in-development game projects have been canceled, and studio heads have been let go. ex-employees characterized it as being "effectively" shut down
