@realgdt.bsky.social my friend, I had such a wonderful experience seeing the film on a big screen here in LA.
Sumptuous as hell, this former Catholic altar boy and now father of a wild son was moved deeply by your vision.
And the burning angel appeared in my dream the night after i saw the film.

SE’s localization work on FFXIV and FFXVI have been some of the most incredible examples of good JPN-ENG loc. SE has defined new standards for excellence in our craft.
Not to mention, that good loc has been pivotal in establishing a dedicated fanbase—and good sales.

Life is more important than books, but I do want to say that I appreciate Star Fruit's place in the industry. They license such cool books that would otherwise go missed.
I found Minami Q-ta thru them, and they've published Hideshi Hino too.
Please help if you can.
