and to be clear: when I say 'production companies' i'm not talking just amazon, crunchyroll, netflix, etc. etc. I'm talking Aniplex, Toho, Toei, etc. Those guys would LOVE to never hire actors, animators, writers, the whole package, ever again. theyd do it in a second if they thought it'd work!!

surprised it took this long for a publisher to try this with a 'real' series. next we'll see a series with an AI-created original Japanese dub.
you folks would not BELIEVE how much the production companies want to do this. they want to never hire actors SO bad!!
ok maybe you WOULD believe it ☹️

The media keeps running stories about Starmer's rapid descent from landslide election win to most unpopular prime minister in history (seriously!), but he didn't win a landslide; nobody ever liked him...
Keir Starmer won the 2024 election with the smallest vote share of any majority government since record-keeping began in 1830.
This 'landslide' election (as mainstream media STILL insists), was won despite 80% of eligible voters NOT voting for Labour (you can check that on FullFact BTW). Landslide?

Who knew that a chancellor who worked firstly for the Bank of England, and then HBOS, and who was investigated for misuse of funds before "taking voluntary redundancy", would choose billionaires over the rest of us? #ColourMeShocked
Rachel Reeves says on Laura Kuenssberg that she's asking working people to pay a little bit more.
This was all under the cover of a made up "black hole" whilst refusing to tax the super rich.

Kids getting free school meals are often bullied. The correct solution is that school cafeterias shouldn't have a till. Everyone should get a nutritious three course meal. And we should all pay for this through our taxes.
