Speaking OF, I'm going to be streaming this game starting tomorrow, at 10:30 PM EST over on my Twitch, which I've been MEANING to do for months, and haven't had the time. Once you've got some food in your belly, feel free to drift in!
Shit, I uh, also did
↨ Battle Suit Aces ↨
I love the story, and am floored by the commitment. But like with Battle Chef Brigade, my disappointment comes from what we don't get to see, and how short lived the it feels by the end. Of course I'll play it again. But I wish I could keep GOING. 7/10

My favorite awful auto generated closed captions on Crunchyroll so far come from Akatsuki no Yona. How utterly untenable.

As always, next time you see a big celebrity at the Crunchyroll anime awards, remind yourself how they can afford to dress the dubbing industry up like it’s the Met Gala when underneath all that it’s actors struggling to make ends meet and translation done by shitty robots they don’t have to pay.
After publishing this article, I've heard from many that CR seems to be using AI to produce dub CCs. Now, thanks to a slip-up CR had with episode 6 dub of The Banished Court Magician, we can say that with 100% certainty: Crunchyroll is using the AI service Ollang.com for its dub closed captions!

All this talk about the Yakuza 0 director’s cut not even involving the director of that game
It’s important to note what “director’s cut” means
It means the director rejects the released theatrical cut
This is why the LOTR movies are “extended editions.” Jackson prefers the theatrical cuts.

Dubbing will continue to stagnate until serious time and consideration is given to the pattern of severe undercutting that is prevalent in the industry. Budgets are getting slashed on workers who were already expected to cut corners with low pay. Adapters and translators are your backbone.

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.

Crunchyroll is destroying its subtitles for no good reason | Daiz.moe
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.

we should do that
AI advocates have warned that if every author in the class action filed a claim, it would "financially ruin" the entire industry.
Authors celebrate “historic” settlement coming soon in Anthropic class action
Advocates fear such settlements will “financially ruin” the AI industry.

Politicians will never be our salvation. WE will be our salvation. Be a part of your community. If you’re able to elevate a progressive political body (like Mamdani,) good, do it. But even they should always come second to your community. Your *people* are what will get you through it all.

Who else remembers a few years ago when the Jujutsu Kaisen movie made almost 200 million at the box office and the dub cast got like $300 tops
Ask literally any voice actor if they get royalties from the video games they worked on.
They will tell you no. They might even laugh.
Now imagine any developer actively trying to use AI VO to save money wanting to offer something like that.

Also, re: "they get royalties", how much money is that? Does it make up for the lack of continued work?
Paying next to nothing is still "getting paid royalties" but is functionally nothing.
