They literally censored a belly button and removed her entire chest in the version you spend money on
Bro this is why people pirate anime and manga. Expecting people to buy a product that censors content is foolish.
English
@giantrobo By the way, I am guessing 英語字幕 == NG?
Could help drive purchases from overseas fans. I am on the fence since I can probably get by without, but would be nice.
Thanks!

I was fully prepared to groan at this being a HD upscale, but no. They're actually scanning the original film reels at 4K! 🤯🤯🤯

@Brian25446997 @macrossD I was fully prepared to reply with a snarky tweet about how it's probably just an HD upscale but I am happy I went to check the site first, lol
"35ミリネガフィルムからのスキャンによって"
It's a film scan. Unbelievable.
Hopefully they don't DNR it to high hell!

@OliverJia1014 Outrage was... fine, but not even close to his best work. By the time Coda rolled around, totally lost interest.
I think Kitano went back to the well with Outrage because his prior works didn't really do well.
English
Takeshi Kitano's best films weren't financially successful in Japan, but won tons of accolades abroad.
His commercial stuff like Outrage has done much better here and Kubi was enjoyable, but it's artistically hollow by comparison.
He had a good peak era, but that's long over.
Nēa "Dracula" Ching@TheGayChingy
It’s crazy how much richer and more complex on average the scores Joe Hisaishi did in Takeshi Kitano movies are versus all the ones he does for Ghibli. And it’s a shame Kitano got too stingy to pay Hisaishi’s rates because his films have dipped in any emotional quality ever since

>DISC don't be manipulated by the studio
Let me introduce you to DNR and digital color grading
Javo, Lack of surprises@javier078
- Digital doesn't look as good as DISC (specially 4K UltraHD). - Digital can be taken away at any moment, DISC don't. - Digital can be manipulated by the studio, DISC don't. - Most DIGITAL copies don't have extras, most DISCS do. - There are a lot fo movies that don't have digital, but they are on DISC. Nothing against digital, but DISC rules over digital.

@learning_yohei This happens to me in Japan with Japanese all the time. 😅
English
I’m Japanese and studying English… but why do native speakers speak so FAST when they get excited? 😭
I nod and smile like I understand… but I’m actually lost after 3 seconds 😂
Does this happen to you too?
American English or British English — which one is faster for you?
English
@AutismCapital PE shops already own Crunchyroll's parent company. They're not coming for anime — they're already there.

Please please PLEASE don't let Private Equity get into Anime. We have ONE good thing remaining. PLEASE don't let anime become corporate globoslop. WE'RE BEGGING YOU. Let us have this ONE thing.

@JapanUncharted @NoahOskow Every single time the BOJ has staged an intervention in the last few years, the long-term impact has been non-existent. It won't work. Never does.
English
@NoahOskow The last time it was at this level, BOJ intervened, and it dropped. I'm curious to see what will happen this time.
English
The dollar rate sitting at nearly 160 yen over the past few days - still hard to believe the overall trend is this high, and may go higher. Great for inbound tourists, but very difficult exchange rate for anyone getting paid in yen here in Japan.
English
@writerofscratch JLPT [a] doesn't do speaking very much, and [b] barely needs you to know how to use a pencil when it comes to writing.
English
Not a fan of Oliver Jia at all (and considering he has blocked me, I presume he isn't a fan of me either lol) but I do agree there's plenty in the JLPT N1 you really don't encounter much, if at all, in everyday life in Japan.
Also: JLPT doesn't really fit into the CEFR scale.
あづまえびす@taicosama
Oliver Jia thinks JLPT N1 is about some "esoteric" grammar points. N1 isn't even C1 or C2 on the CEFR scale. It's just B2 (intermediate)

For decades this corner in the Mission District has been… a parking lot.
Now it could become 35 apartments in an 8-story flatiron-style building just a block from the 24th Street BART Station.
Small site.
Transit-rich location.
Long overdue housing.

@EndoOleg The Sunshine City exit gets backed up worse than this, especially on weekends.
If you stick to the right side you can bypass the hilariously long line of the left and just walk up the escalator.
English
Drives me nuts EVERY SINGLE TIME I go to Ikebukuro.
But also I am happy it's a thing because technically you're not supposed to walk on the escalator at all lol

@residentevie This happened to me once with a food I grew up eating my entire childhood lol.
(the person incorrectly assumed my ancestry 😅)
English
My FIL is always showing me random Japanese foods and saying "You don't know, but this is a mushroom called a shiitake!" (for example) Why do you assume I don't know? After over 15 years in Japan? And who tf prefaces things by saying "you don't know" right to someone's face?

@itssmoli @inceptstellar We're not missing much in this case since the movie was shot digitally anyways. Laser is fine.
English
@inceptstellar Yeah, they were just too expensive to maintain, not extremely reliable, and upgrade costs were ¥¥¥¥. Tokyo has one or two giant laser screws now, Osaka as well. Project Hail Mary is completely booked of all but front row seats all week.

@ESchillup @RMBee Paul created the conditions for the jihad and enabled it to happen but calling him a "genocidal monster" suggests you misinterpreted things.
Paul never clearly saw the Golden Path, his prescience was limited by his ties to his humanity and his morality.
Leto II, not so much.
English
Did you read the books? The jihad was unavoidable and was inevitable due to the stagnation of humanity, and many of Paul's visions showed extinction of humanity as an outcome if he didn't follow the golden path.
Paul, despite being a genocidal monster, was the reason humanity didn't go extinct.
English
Paul’s Jihad in Dune Messiah caused the death of 61 Billion, the sterilization of 90 planets, the end of 40 religions. The embrace of Paul’s War Chant (which IS awesome) by TikTok is a perfect metaphor for the future of Gen Z. No understanding of the power of reading.
