Happy Halloween listeners! For your ghoulish entertainment on this, the spookiest day, may we present perhaps RL Stine's most questionable decision: trying to write a mentally handicapped character. Also, OJ Simpson makes a surprise appearance. Thanks Cinco!

Look Super Robot Wars, you got me to watch Mazinger, GaoGaiGar, L-Gaim, Gridman, Dynazenon and Betterman...but I'm sorry, no matter how hard you try you're never going to convince me to care about Majestic Prince.

Ask yourself this: Do you want this to be the future of your anime watching experience, forever? If your answer is no, then act on it! If you are a journalist or anyone with a platform, talk about this! If you know such people, urge them to do so! Use my article as base! Now, before it's too late!

Sarah Hurwitz Profanes the Holocaust
Holocaust education has worked too well for the Obama speechwriter, since when she rationalizes Israel's genocide, "I sound obscene." Maybe sit with that, Sarah

Important update: I have received word from insiders that Crunchyroll executives have deemed the user backlash to be small enough that their subtitle enshittification & OOONA plans will NOT be cancelled, only delayed.
I have added an update to the article. There's a summary at the top now too.

A ton of research and effort went into this one. This is the article to read to get to the bottom of Crunchyroll's subtitle changes!
Replies here will show up as comments (eventually)

With the Fall 2025 anime season, Crunchyroll demonstrates zero respect for anime as a medium as the presentation quality of its subtitles reach an all-time low.

Old school Marvel and DC Comics were great because you had things like The Elf with a Gun, a character that showed up in the original run of The Defenders by Steve Gerber to, inexplicably, shoot a random person. He was not tied to any storyline and never actually met any of the heroes.

Mamdani getting Trump to back down & even *compliment* him costs Mamdani absolutely nothing (& indeed actually shows his skills) & probably also saves a lot of vulnerable ppl in this city a trememndous amount of pain if it means Trump is less inclined to act shitty towards us bc of this meeting

"Trump is a fucking idiot who gets rolled by anyone who's nice to him" theory remains undefeated, putting someone like Mamdani in there is like having Randy Johnson sub in for a 5th grade Little League game
