I'd heard an interesting story while trying to get into Magical Girl Raising Project. Apparently, when the series was still in the public eye back around 2016-17 or so, it was discovered the guy who was doing translations at the time (PlatFleece I believe his name was) was actually incompetent at Japanese and making shit up as he went along (deleting or adding entire paragraphs for example), and everyone had fallen for it for like a year or so since nobody had bothered to get raws themselves and those that did and called Plat out were damage-controlled by a cocksucker cadre cultivated on Dicksword. The inability to verify until an entire retranslation of all the books up to that point was done played a large factor in the series falling into obscurity among Western circles, or so the story goes.

It was interesting to me because far as I knew at the time, bullshit TL stuff was done either by failed writers in official companies or agenda-driven cucks on Reddit and other such malcontent sites -- it kind of slipped my mind that autists could fuck up efforts for entirely separate reasons, like their own pride. That made me curious: What other examples of translation fuckery have you noticed in fan TL?

One thing I've noticed in the past few years is that when the characters are high schoolers the translators just stop translating and use the excuse of 'slang' to write whatever. Nagatoro and Bisque Doll being examples of that. Just watched Kirio Fan Club and

Post suggestions to keep the board eggcellent. Also a place for posts that don't deserve their own thread or posts that shouldn't be made in the first place. Keep it vaguely /animu/ related. If you have general site questions or worry about climate change you can make a thread on >>>/greta/ 
Beyond that, archive everything you care about. You never know when /animu/ servers will be vore'd by a giant Miku.

Most importantly, fight honorably.

This is a consensus crack. The first landing was real, because if it was fake, the Soviet intelligence apparatus would've had one of the greatest PR victories in history by disrupting it and it could have been done with shocking ease given how easy it is to see a howling drive with a half-competent telescope. However, there is no such equivalent opposing force today, and not only has falsification infrastructure drastically advanced thanks to AI, but the institutional knowledge that brought man to the Moon, that made NASA actually relevant, no longer exists, at least in access to the government.
My argument is this; the first moon landing was real. The second, and the base, won't be.
So are there any alternatives to kemono and coomer yet?

'Bout time for a fresh new /loli/ stream thread!
I stream loli anime on cytube every Sunday at 12pm EST. I put up music (almost always 2hu arranges) an hour before the stream, and everyone is encouraged to add their own fun and entertaining videos for the post stream.

Same as always, I usually link an episode every day for everyone to download and watch at their own leisure, so check those out whenever you like! The current daily shos are: Zettai Karen Children, Fushigi Mahou Fun Fun Pharmacy, and Hime Chen! Otogi Chikku Idol Lilpri!

Was gonna post this in the old thread before I saw it hit the bump limit.
I posted about this mole fetish simulator Prince of Persia/Shadow of the Colossus hybrid's demo last year and complained about its movement and lack of graphics settings. The dev later overhauled both of these in a demo patch, much to my surprise, and now that it's out on GOG I'll probably give this thing a whirl and a writeup when I'm done with it.

Hey kid, ever wanted a cute doll in a frilly dress on your desk? Are you a weirdo who likes doll joints in fishnet stocking? Then this might be your hobby.
While the doll hobby is expensive starting out, the yen vs the dollar is better than ever. So if you're not worried about your budget for the next few years, then this is the best time to import from Japan. When buying dolls you're mainly buying things in segments. Hair, eyes, face/head, clothes, and replacement pieces for limbs/hands/feet/etc. That's why it's an expensive hobby initially. Once you have a body frame, everything else is just spent on the eyes, faces, hair, and clothing. Of course, you don't need to go crazy. No need to fill a whole shelf with them like figurines.

An important part of this is that if you orient your attention towards something, you are more likely to notice it or opportunities for it in the real world. And because the way you pay attention to something can affect how you act around it, the way you attend to a thing or a person can create a kind of self-fulfilling prophecy. For example, a psychologist who rigidly thinks of the human mind as a machine will naturally notice the more mechanistic aspects of human behaviour, and following his advice will work with those tendencies and likely amplify them.
As to whether your thoughts themselves can subtly influence the outside world, well, that's another matter. In my own tradition, a good number of Eastern Orthodox monastics and saints insist the answer is yes. And from what I understand, their contention is not that manifesting per se doesn't do anything, but that a lot of it risks turning people into greedy manipulators. You get a bunch of people who think the path to happiness is forcing the outside world to conform to their own desires at all costs. This seems to work at first, but breaks down after a while. Sometimes their desires have unexpected side effects. Sometimes their desires don't make them happy when they get them, or outright ruin their lives. And sometimes their desires make life miserable for everyone but themselves.

Not trying to vaguepost your ass and blueball you but this happens for a specific set of reasons and I don't want to turn this thread into /fringe/-/his/-/pol/ since explaining it would require walls of text, furthermore, I fear giving a wonky tl;dr.
But yeah, the kabbalists who engineered modern civilization understand all of this very well, not perfectly, or else they wouldn't have instituted such a grotesquely miserable system which has inescapable karmic consequences (despite their constant caution to "shift" that karmic weight, that blame onto the masses i.e. "you can deduce or even see we are evil but you ain't doing shit about it so it's on YOU lolololol), but very well. Which is exactly why they use this knowledge for malicious speculation.

>Piracy of Japanese games and anime has tripled over the past 3 years. Government acknowledges need to expand legitimate global distribution channels
https://archive.ph/hTpqH
<Japan’s METI (Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry) announced the results of its survey on online piracy of Japanese content on January 26. According to the results, damages from piracy in 2025 rose to 5.7 trillion yen (about $36.9 billion USD), which is almost three times higher than the 2 trillion ($12.9 billion USD) in damages recorded in a past survey from 2022. However, as ITMedia News reports, from 2025, new categories like “character merchandise” were also included in the survey, and if we take them into account as well, the overall damages for this year total 10.4 trillion yen (about $67.4 billion USD).
<The survey targeted consumers from Japan, China, Vietnam, France, America and Brazil, and an estimate cost of damage caused by online piracy of Japanese content was calculated based on their responses. The collected data was analyzed across five major categories – film (including anime and

https://archive.ph/DxzD1
<Kadokawa and Aniplex — both major players in anime production and media — have created a new joint venture called “ANIMEC.” The new company will focus on distributing theatrical anime films, with the goal of improving planning, marketing, and release strategies both domestically and internationally.
<Anime theatrical releases have become a growing business segment in recent years, with titles regularly earning strong box office results in Japan and overseas. However, competition for screens and market share has also intensified, prompting Kadokawa and Aniplex to formalize their collaboration. By pooling resources and expertise, ANIMEC aims to better support titles throughout the full lifecycle of a film’s distribution — from initial planning to promotion and global rollout.
<...
<In addition to Japan’s theatrical market, ANIMEC is expected to play an active role in expanding international distribution networks, particularly as anime films see increased demand in overseas theaters. Strategic alignment between Kadokawa’s content portfolio and Aniplex’s global promotional capabilities could give the venture an edge in coordinating multi-region releases and marketing campaigns.

https://archive.ph/WXqJw
<After years of silence, High School of the Dead is making a comeback with a new game launching April 28, bringing back its zombie apocalypse setting with a fresh story, new character art, and the usual fanservice-heavy appeal the series is known for.
<Titled High School of the Dead: DAY 0, the game is a browser-based RPG that blends survival and tower defense elements. Players take on the role of protagonist Takashi Komuro and fight to survive in a world overrun by zombies while building and defending a base.
<The game features an original storyline, meaning it avoids major spoilers while still bringing back familiar characters such as Rei Miyamoto and Saeko Busujima.
<The title also introduces newly drawn character artwork and original outfits, including additional collectible content and scenes not present in the original series:
<As a free-to-play release with in-game purchases, DAY 0 is designed to be accessible globally, with multiple language options planned, including English, Japanese, Traditional Chinese, and Korean.
