It reminds me of how, because of Shin Godzilla, when someone creates a "Shin" version of something it's usually grotesque and whatnot and it makes me super annoyed
like that's not what "Shin" means😭😭😭

@Fossil4Man I hope many people realize that the beginning and Final Arc of Wizard are quite fun even in Neo Heisei
English
@ZangBerries TBH, they're good villains, and I think it's great how they overwhelm the main characters with just experience and battle IQ. They really added a nice tension to Saber's final arc
English
@UkiyaSeed The author himself has mentioned that there were plans to adapt it into an anime in the past. However, he refused the request, stating that he wanted to "respect the memories of Showa fans"
English
From what I remembered, the manga-ka doesn't want a Kamen Rider Spirits anime because he want the readers to read the characters in the voices of their original actors. Knowing that some of the Showa actors have passed away, not likely to happen anytime.

Dear John Toei. Since Tojima Wants to Be a Kamen Rider is ended Can we please get Kamen Rider Spirits anime?

@Kamen_Luqman "Midnight Sentai Garimpero" was a talk show that aired in 2002. The regular cast consists entirely of Toku actors, and they enjoy chatting with guests as a sentai led by Hiroshi Fujioka and Hiroshi Miyauchi
English
What do you mean the 2001-2002 toku trinity formed a Sentai together? :/
English
@Kuhachoco @regularaugust I think this is more of a ポリコレ(woke) call than Westernization. With the recent trends in Hollywood and the influx of Westerners into anime fandoms, there are more and more JP people who are showing aversion to Western gay culture
日本語
@regularaugust They get called westernized. Is not only about cultural imports tho, people get called westernized over being gay
English
@regularaugust The closest concept would be "出羽守"
However, rather than glazing West societies and subcultures, this refers to people who try to criticize Japan by comparing it to them. In reality, they often lack accurate knowledge because they have no interest in the West itself
English
@AzumangaRamirez @Ultrakyriel Yeah, and even if it were deleted, we wouldn't protest; we'd just think, "Well, it's our fault, so it can't be helped." That's the difference, I think
English
@Ultrakyriel It's kinda crazy because AMVs are plentiful in the Japanese spaces, especially on Niconico. But, that probably only happens because already they know they're using copyrighted material.
English
This is also another reason video essays with clips is almost not a thing in Japan. Japanese fans are very careful to avoid using footage in even fan-made documentaries on YouTube.
Oliver Jia (オリバー・ジア)@OliverJia1014
Japanese Wikipedia barely has any images compared to English Wikipedia because there’s no concept of fair use here and copyright permissions in general are a nightmare. Another example of clear cultural differences with the West over IP ownership that I doubt will ever change.

@Reaper_Kaze @FlywheelKnot I've said this countless times, but she wasn't criticized for racism. She was simply for breaking the rules. Do you have any idea how much damage her actions caused the show?
English
@FlywheelKnot Ion think hiring another half-filipina immediately rules out the idea that racism coulda played a large part in her scandals. Has Marvel or DC stopped casting black actors cuz ppl got mad at race swaps?
English
So was Maya really picked off for nationality discrimination? Or did someone take things too seriously?
Sentai Rider BANK Reiwa@rider_sentai48G
Maya Imamori & Angela Mei As Gozyu Unicorn Same Half Japanese - Filipina

@Pr0cra5tinatr @adelheidx333 >such a cool and powerful character
That's why. A character who is dignified and courageous becoming submissive in front of the opposite sex is a typical fetish
English
@adelheidx333 Ren was kind of the only character choice I did not like, because wdym the creator made such a cool and powerful character, but all her reward scenes are her being submissive?
English
Actually, same author behind this girl is the last bastion of this archetype, his latest work features one of them...god bless Takahiro and your amazing taste in powerful women
Adelheid@adelheidx333
Daily reminder they don't make girls like this anymore, the factories have been collecting dust for years
English
@FlywheelKnot I'm in the JP fandom, but none of the JP fans criticize her because of her race, and in fact, not many people even know she's half Filipino. They're only criticizing her because she violated her contract and caused a lot of trouble for the production team
English
Funny story about this. The only reason why the "Adventurer's Guild" trope exists is due to the video game Wizardry.
Fantasy in Japan was not introduced through novels like Lord of the Rings or Conan. It was video games like Wizardry, which became a major inspiration for Dragon's Quest and Final Fantasy.
In Wizardry, you didn't have a set party. You created your own characters and death was permanent, so it wasn't uncommon to create new characters. Swapping and "grinding" were essential aspects of the game.
Before you went to the dungeon, you were town where you level up, get items, create new characters, and swap characters. Where did you swap characters? Adventurer's Guild.
So now you know why this trope seems to be every anime. It's based on a video game in the 80s that still sways influence today.

Not every isekai protagonist needs to join an "Adventurer's Guild"
English
@TheMashStan The tricky part of this problem is that Zero's Saber is bad, and Zero has a more interesting plot than FSN, and these two things can coexist
English
Gen Talibuchi...you will pay for your crimes.

@kitsune_banzai @adelheidx333 I prefer Zero Artoria because she isnt a self hating girlie that needs a Japanese teenager to fix her nonexistant issues and treat her like a schoolgirl to be happy In Zero she actually loves being a Knight, is conflicted but still fights for her place as a true King.
English
@A12523685698414 @worldranking_ It's simply because the work is more physically demanding for male actors. Porn actresses have high commercial value and receive generous benefits and support, but male actors tend to be looked down upon in the industry
English
@worldranking_ I'm curious why the numbers are so low for man.
What are the explanations? Pride, not enough money, tradition?
English
@pinklightergal They have a pseudo-family relationship, but in the end, they're not related by blood and aren't that far apart in age. Many JP people believe that if there are no legal issues and they consent, we should welcome them
English
A "problem in localization" ??? So you okay, with fucking your sister-cousins and getting them pregnant??? 🤨🤨🤨

@CacheThatCheque He says, "The most exploited people in the porn industry are the male actors. Actresses have commercial value and are respected on set, but male actors are replaceable cogs" People who are just looking to work in porn for pleasure should face reality
English
Everyone in the comments saying they're ready to move to Japan and start a new career but even Shimiken, Japan's most famous male porn star is less enthused saying, "the reality is that porn is mostly a shitty place filled with shitty people. I'd just like to be a light among the shit."
He's also notably said that he's never had a normal relationship and that he'd advise his own daughters from ever joining the industry. "I would absolutely stop them. Without hesitation."
Maybe it sounds appealing, but it's defintely no easy life

@Skullfreak25 The JP user who posted this information is an extremist anti-AI activist and a malicious user who falsely accuses artists of using Gen AI without any evidence. This is not Gen AI. It simply has a processing AI built in

@Charamander459 @ScalyNeighbor malicious misinformation. Gen AI is not used in this software
