I don't know how I'll survive until February ngl

I think I just wasn't built for doing artistic stuff, because I really don't understand any of it lol

"I love every one of you, except for the ones I don't" - calamari clara probably, 2024

It's also an interestingly terrible choice for CR to completely remove watching the original as an option, so now the only option you have is piracy if you want to watch the TV release. Not to mention CR's sub translations are generally pretty low quality even compared to fansubs

Ironically enough, I think the Director's cut is the worse way to watch season 1 compared to the original TV release, because they change the pacing and the original structure was designed around episode endings that get merged in the DC

At that point I might actually finish reading Arc 7 if the Re:Zero withdrawals feel bad enough

Maybe I should set up post synchronization with Twitter, seems pretty interesting

Sometimes I feel bad being so critical because I think it doesn't come across that I actually do enjoy the episodes a lot 😭

I'm more inclined to be critical of shortcuts studios are taking at the expense of artistic display and respect to their source material, especially if you look at what's happening to shows like Uzumaki or Blue Lock, rather than let them think they can make those sacrifices and not get flak for it

Maybe it's harsh to say, but I find it's hard to defend especially since production companies like Kadokawa have shown increasingly they care less about the quality of their shows and are more interested in pushing the absolute minimum quality slop to maximize profits and to fill their yearly quotas

The bad part of watching through Muse Asia though is that it's limited to 720p, I need a VPN to watch, and since it's on YouTube stuff like Subaru's death in episode 2 gets heavily censored; if I could just download their subs to use on Crunchyroll's video files it'd be perfect

Don't forget story details getting changed retroactively due to illustration fuckups 😭 (I genuinely barely understand what's going on with Roy anymore)

It is! And MIT licensed I think. I'm honestly surprised it's not something people bring up more often, especially when Elon made such a big deal about making Twitter "open sourced" (which he didn't follow through on, unsurprisingly lol)

Also in-post translations, especially with how international Re:Zero's fandom can be I'd rather not break my flow so much just trying to understand someone's post 😭

I find a not-insignificant amount of Re:Zero discussion is just from people replying to each other, so I think if you get episode threads and discussions here eventually you'll see more activity

We'll see if it pops off a bit more when Wednesday comes around, who knows
