So, I just watched the first episode of Life Lessons with Uramichi-Oniisan.

Oh my God. This is the most single most relatable piece of anime I've ever watched, especially because the MC and I both are around the same age and work in an entertainment sector that is forced to be cheerful and try not to let real life bleed into.

This is simultaneously hilarious and depressing to watch!

Continuously reading, studying, and (hopefully) growing.

[up] I would also recommend Police in a Pod for a similar brand of "work sucks but gotta put up with it" humor.

[up][up] They did air around the same time.

Hey, anybody remember that one time when Gainax did their own remix of Cutie Honey and it had never EVER got an English dub for almost 20 years now?

WELL, IT'S GETTING AN ENGLISH DUB NOW!

So.

Does anyone know the manga Cesare - Il Creatore che ha distrutto?

It's about Cesare Borgia when he was a teenager (and for some time after but I'm not sure how far it goes).

I saw the musical and I'm obsessed.

I'm trying to read the manga in Japanese, it's a lot of kanji and walls of text (in between the amazingly detailed and historically accurate art) but it's so worth it.

It's just basically... historical nerdery with pretty boys and pretty art. I'm like... desperate to talk about it with someone.

RIP to the AMV guy.

First time I’ve heard about that Cesare manga too, that sounds interesting.

Oh my God it's finally happening! I wished they'd binned Y.Aoi as her va though, she's a great voice actor but I don't think she's all that good as a Mao Mao from what I've heard of her voice in the role. Maybe it'll be better in the anime, I dunno.

They should absolutely bin Sakurai Jinshi though

I absolutely cannot help but adore handsome 2D boys

does anyone else feel like Sailor Moon was practically tailor made to be adapted into an anime?

I mean, it literally was.

The original plan was a Sailor V OVA when it was just the original one-shot Takeuchi made, and that evolved into creating Sailor Moon and making an anime out of it.

Anyone heard about that new series Cypher Academy? I don't really read much manga but this has apparently been getting some mad publicity because translators/localizers keep quitting in frustration.

The whole thing is apparently built around — as the title suggests — cyphers, riddles, and complicated wordplay that are nigh-impossible to properly translate without either rendering it as gibberish or including mountains of explanatory footnotes.

One podcaster I heard talking about it compared it to trying to translate "Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo" into Japanese while still retaining both the meaning and the joke that it's the same word over and over — it's maddening.

[up] I’ve been reading it and it’s clear as day from reading the English translations that it’s a huge pain in the ass to localize, especially on a weekly schedule. Quite a few puzzles rely on kanji wordplay that even native Japanese readers have a hard time keeping up with.

> I mean, it literally was.

That is surprising to learn,but it would explain why the original manga is prehaps less mainstream then the anime since the intended goal to make a magical girl anime in the first place.

Just watched The First Slam Dunk. All I can say is, it's the Sannoh match adaptation I've been waiting for. The focus on Miyagi which gives him more depth is excellent and the cg is surprisingly good. I can see why the movie is such a success in Japan.

I mean, most people would know what a slam dunk is so...

"Cynicism is not realistic and tough. It's unrealistic and kind of cowardly because it means you don't have to try."

[up] I'd be surprised if something similar hadn't made its way into becoming a wrestling move by now.
