I know it’s linked above, but in case it wasn’t made abundantly clear for those reading along, yes, it’s that MAPPA you’re thinking about.

Yep.

Don’t you mean Horizon: Forgotten West?

And for further context:

Oh, I’m sorry, I misspoke.
I meant does.

I’m fully aware most of these studio animators are underpaid and overworked, but that’s a topic for another day. Netflix has a proven track record when it comes to their English dubs and is one of the few places that utilizes unions for actors - a rarity in this industry. That I can get behind.

I’m not defending Netflix, but they don’t undermine their dubs or translators the way Crunchyroll has been doing for years now.

Unpopular opinion: if Netflix pays its translators and voice actors decently and the anime wasn’t crunched in any way, I’m all for letting Netflix continue to stream the series. And for what it’s worth, the anime will still find a general audience on a mainstream platform even without a huge marketing push.

In case anyone needs more proof Crunchyroll is a soulless husk sucking on the blood of its talent and labor force:

A while back, I retweeted the Kotaku Splitscreen podcast (something about the game awards/GOTYs in general). I rambled for a bit and got a like from Mike.

Neat, I was just thinking about seeing something this weekend.

Ugh, I was so disappointed when I got around to picking that game up and saw the final roster.

After YouTuber Oceaniz and his girlfriend Laura ran out of anime to watch together, he mustered up the courage to pop the big question (no, not that one): “Would you watch Naruto with me if I edited it to be less ass to watch?”

Her hug literally decreases your maximum HP by 5%, a debuff indicated by the mysterious red square icon I mentioned before.

I’d argue most of the female characters in this series were underutilized if you look where some of them ended up at the end. Kishimoto never really overcame this weakness when all was said and done, though he did seem to hear some of the criticism when Samurai 8 was running. I don’t think he succeded, but it’s a…

Oh thank god! I was worried this wasn’t an option from the demo or I wasn’t looking hard enough!

Sup!

Also, it doesn’t seem like people are aware Funi updated their app not too long ago. Hell, it has a dedicated Switch app now that runs significantly better than my other devices.

“So, instead of reflecting on themselves, they blamed the soundtrack.”
