I put off saying anything in the hopes it might come back again, but since it’s ending and I’ve long since moved on, let me publicly pay my own respects (F).
For those who don’t know, I was the head localization editor in the game’s first year. This was truly a dream project. twitter.com/MankaiCompanyE…

Everyone who worked on that title put their all into it, and I know we’re all equally sad to say goodbye. I can tell from the ending date—not only does it end on Sakuya’s birthday, Sakuya’s birthday is 3/9, which can be read as both “saku” and “sankyuu”…thank you.

(And yes, I was the one responsible for “if you catch a cold you’re gonna catch these hands” among others, and that line is STILL one of my favorite translation accomplishments to this day)

Itaru was always a fun character because he always required you to reach deep inside and pull out the most Online version of yourself ever to handle his extremely Online Japanese

But actually….Arthur does look awfully like Figaro here….naruhodo…..

This tweet is polling opinions about what age people believe one should stop cosplaying bc it’s a question they often see others wrestling with.
The replies of full of older cosplayers (some 50+) showing off their work and recounting how they never stopped or started late 🥺 twitter.com/emoma_cosplay/…

White: A Love Like A Miracle
Snow: A Love* Like A Dream
Figaro: An Eternity Longed For
(Snow’s love is “koi”, while White’s is “ai”. Koi can be read as a more fleeting sense of love, while ai is deep and eternal. This is mean)

We talk a lot about how the anime industry is pretty relentless to work in (and we should keep at it), but I don’t think there’s enough focus on how insane manga is as well. The further I get into things, the more things I see that are pretty hard to swallow.

Happy B-Day Plug: translation edition (A3)
As I’ve mentioned before, I was the head editor/TL director for a3 for the first 1.5ish yrs (KotR was my last event). I also translated a bunch of non-story stuff like training chats or earn cash convos (like this one↓)

Please enjoy the finished first 4 pages of my isekai comic! I can't wait to share the whole thing with you guys!

What cracks me up about this is that it’s a cover of a cover of a Eurobeat song about the USA that became a meme in Japan like 2 years ago and relaunched the career of an old Japanese music group because of the cover Enstars is now covering twitter.com/ensemble_stars…

I think people really misunderstand what doujin means at times.
A lot of times you see it translated as amateur or fan works, but independent is a more accurate way to put it. They can be amateur, and they can be based off of another work, but they can be fully original, too.

I observed an interesting thing some days ago. A TV station in California asked, in a bit shaky Japanese, if they could use the photos from a JP user. I thought I got why JP users were poking fun at it, but it turns out it was for a different reason than I assumed:

No, DeepL, that is not what that word means
This is why I say DeepL is even more dangerous than Google translate, because it makes completely natural sentences that are completely wrong
