I once saw a duckling disappear underwater and stay there for what felt to me like a worrying long time and naturally my brain urged me to leap to its rescue in the frigid lake waters before I remembered it was a diving bird -R

“People don’t have a choice if work makes them use A/I”
I refuse to use A/I. I voice that on any project I touch.
If you’re making “A/I dubs” of animes, you’re the same as a scab during a strike.
Just because it keeps YOU secure, doesn’t mean you’re absolved from the damage you’re causing others.

The Citizens United decision has corrupted our government and is destroying our democracy. Here's a way to get rid of it. robertreich.substack.com/p/how-to-get...
How to Get Rid of "Citizens United"
We can do away with it without a new Supreme Court. Nor do we need a constitutional amendment. There’s a far simpler way.

Banana Fish getting an AI dub is more upsetting than my grandpa dying last night.

So, somehow, the ending of BANANA FISH is not the most tragic thing to happen to the series
The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them
A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.

If Amazon is going to serve us AI slop for the Banana Fish dub. Then I’m half tempted to dub it myself.

Banana Fish is one of my favorites and this shit makes me so mad.
Even worse it probably means we'll never get an official English dub either because of this.

So the Banana Fish AI dub is def cause it’s shoujo and BL right. Like they’re def testing the waters on AI dubbing against two audiences who get crumbs anyway and are likely to take it and smile.

The Banana Fish AI dub is trash, but it’s also such an insult to the source material, which is an INCREDIBLE piece of art. Everyone who worked hard on the manga+anime deserves better. EN VAs who would’ve been overjoyed to work on a dub deserve better. And *YOU* deserve better!

Honest to God I think your average novice voice actor on Twitter or Bluesky could do an infinitely better fandub of this from home.
…Hell, why don’t you? Call it the “Banana Fish Challenge”. Dub a scene from the show in English and show the suits at Amazon how shit they are.
