So I just got watching this video, and I just wanna say... most of it is a nothingburger or said what was already known. For starters, he said "anime studios are racking in billions", which is only half-truth, as in billions of yens and not dollars.... which is about 11 million USD on a good day....
Another issue is he tried to potray Osamu Tezuka debt financing as abnormal... that's quite literally how most productions are ran, eve before Tezuka
I dug a little deeper as the video seemed very half-baked and his first citation was a fucking tweet. Please don't cite tweets unless the tweets were made by the person in question.
Anyways, another point he tries to make is somehow receiving finance from investors is net negative. It is very common for studios (like the belove A24) to quite literally just give studios money to do their thing. I don't understand in what world does this man think that an investor doesn't want some degree of control where there money is going to? Anyways, 8 minute in and couldn't even bother to get the crux of the issue: overworking employees.
None of these issues he described at the beginning of the video is related to the underlying problem, save the weekly scheduled releases. Overworking is a company culture and society issue, even if you get rid of everything said above, that doesn't fix the underlining issues. Anime slop pieces are getting out of hand 
Anyways, I expect too much from essayists 
tldr pls
tl;dr: man yaps about standard business practices, half-assed research, and then tries to explain how bad working conditions are, but fails to understand that everything he mentioned before that has nothing to do with said problems
Man is gonna be shocked that most productions are financed by debt 
Vox-style videos are prone to speak in half-truths or try to present normal practices as problematic. Just because you say "overworking is bad", doesn't mean everything else you said is correct 
If you want the crux of issue:
weak arguments make it easier for the industry to pushback

Bad new to One Piece fans: the anime is pausing til April 2025
6 month hiatus is barely bad news at this point
then again I'm not really a one piece fan
coloring in some scenes
why everything purple 

having watched wistoria, will i enjoy danmachi also

i havent watched wistoria personally too busy lel
but from what i hear
at least from the books
wistoria is if danmachi had no editor stopping the author from going off the rails getting too "creative"
with that said
wistoria is much newer than danmachi's main series
and so the writing is much better in the earlier bits
danmachi does take time to cook
s1 is fine as an intro, s2 is particularly weak however
s3 and s4 cook
s5 well, that just started
@short sundial
i would say hmm
s1's best scene is i think 9 eps in
if you cant get that far i would ignore the series
and im saying this as a die hard danmachi fan
minotaur fight got me into danmachi
s2 got me out of it

the issue is you cant even skip past s2
cos s2 gives them half of their important allies
I finished reading vol 18 yesterday and I thought about watching the anime but when I saw the design of Horn and Hogni I gave up right away

Read oratoria, danmachi but no Bell 
Perfection
Yes
18 has
many issues
but its great if you look past the gaping plot holes
the whole dealeo with Finn
but after reading volume 18, I found it very lazy of Omori to recycle the same personality as Bete for Allen
Yep
AT
just think about it this way
bete is not a siscon
allen is
and all is right in the world

but yeah s3 and s4 cook

s1 not as much, but it sets the stage
Ep 8: Bell and Lilly encounter a trained minotaur in the dungeon. Help arrives, but Bell decides to take it on alone! Watch IS IT WRONG TO TRY TO PICK UP GIRLS IN A DUNGEON? on Crunchyroll for FREE: https://got.cr/Watch-DanMachi

Astrea record is broken
you shd read v19
funniest ryuu moment ever
the
"la chancla" moment
just chapter 1, I read vol 16, 17 and 18 which are fucking long in sequence so I want a break from danmachi for now

Yes
so for context
ryuu obviously ends up joining hestia and co
but as part of the whole uh transfer
she is required to get a new family name at least
so they discuss names like ryu astrea, ryu grand
this is in chapter 1 of vol 19, I said I read it

o
Ryuu cranell
then you would have seen it
the art is fucking hilarious
she literally smited her with her chancla
On the other hand
Oomori is trying his best not to get Lefiya's name appear
I thought it was even better because when she talked about names I thought about using Bell's but I discarded the idea because I thought she wouldn't be so open about the subject in front of the whole family

i cant tell if he's getting a headache cos she's not supposed to exist here
or if she traumatised him that much
Trauma
For sure
do you know
of that infamous what if
oomori wrote
with regards to ryuu and bell?
the tldr is
it's a what if bell did end up with ryuu and hence lost liaris freese
||and happy life until the dragon comes along and the whole world is fucked||

people were understandably
quite pissed
also did you know heith has pink hair

before the anime aired
that is
bell is already at level 5, Aiz is at level 6 but reached this recently so bell will reach level 6 before she reaches level 7 and then I want to see what this skill will be like when he sees that everything that separates him from her is pure skill and tactics rather than level

ottar lv 8 first
in the novel it was described as light red so I didn't imagine that shade and the Van's design was completely different from what I expected

#ใใณใพใก
#danmachi
i believe this was just before the anime aired
I actually expected that at the beginning of vol 19 there would be an announcement about him at level 8 but it didn't happen for some reason
what we got instead were the loki elites finally hitting 7

wait that was in SO
i do wanna see what happens in the school arc from lefiya pov
cos she also ends up back at school
And flashback for Finn, riveria and Gareth 
and runs into bell... quite a few times, unknowingly
THE MAN
THE LEGEND
I don't play anymore so I haven't seen him in stream for a long time
Anyway
Hedin MVP of Freya arc

he is
Who this 
also i got confused at lyuu at first, then i realized its ryuu 
which spelling is it, mal says ryuu
agree
i mean
their oregairu tl is funny though
her name is localised as like
lyuu leon
which is hard to say even as an english speaker
in jp it's read as ryuu lion iirc
the li having the usual JP pronunciation
yea but lai (as in english lion) and li are different
yeah
so i think leon is fine to keep the pronunciation the same
now
the other girl here
ho boi
the localisation
dont see why they changed ryuu -> lyuu tho
butchered
try to read the 2 names there in JP
and tell me what you read them as

herun
heizu (hayes probably)
dont know how you would localize the first one
ok fair enough
the game localises ryuu as ryu
btw
also understandable
i think anime also says ryu in the subtitles
and how did heizu become heith

wtf
that's prob the reason why
the character makes a dzu sound instead
I'm too lazy to watch s4 or s5, I forgot which one
But the spelling there literally says heizu
but dont worry sam
there IS a reason
the reason is
ONORE NORSU
Horn, written as Hรถrn, is one of Freya's names in Norse mythology.

s5 is airing rn, s4 has your favorite part 1 part 2 shenanigans
Heith, written as Heiรฐr, is the name acquired after her third resurrection by Gullveig, who is actually believed to be Freya, in Norse mythology.
it's ye fucking norses
I have no fucking clue why I even watched this show in the first place
hestia
was it this
Eis?
poggers
Should've been eyes 
Waching Tenjho Tenge rn

a lot of the more
traditional names
in danmachi
are tied to their gods
or at least
their alias
I don't expect Japanese authors to know anything about western mythology or history 
is part of freya familia
so is she
holy hell !1!1!1!11!!!
her alias is vana mardoll
Mardoll, written as Mardรถll, is one of Freya's names in Norse mythology.
Fate, especially FGO makes me question whether or not they actually do research
Apparently, anything Japanese doesn't seem the problem, but anything west of China is like greek to them
You think the gods represented in fgo are historically accurate? far from it
bell should go back to the family Freya 
allen is vana freya
which are the 2 cats that pull freya's chariot
...he has a sister
No, not really
I half expectly want the designs to reflect the cultures they take "inspiration" from 
They did paul bunyan so dirty
oh the americans never stop complaining about that
Hasn't this been adapted yet?
no
i can assure you the majority of gods don't use as technologically advanced weaponry

yes
whipped to become
Jesus used laser guns and that is canonical 

jesus isnt in fgo
I know Ender
for good reason
they dont want to approach that with a 10 foot pole
on the other hand
the buddha is
Somebody made Buddha and Jesus manga I htink
there's hindu gods as well
and is one of the most overpowered things in the series
i mean
buddha was there long before the other gods were in fate

In FGO?
Yes pretty sure ender sent me a pic

His sister is Vana Alfi, right? 
vana alfi yes
Forgot Mesoamerican
Mesoamerican designs are dogwater
And people complained about ror shiva
(Idk FGO hindu gods design)
Nothing will top how bad the Mesoamerican ones are
shiva has never been shown
iirc
and there's one issue with shiva
he also has a japanese name
What's meso American
Oh naruhodo
Aztecs, Mayans, basically Mexico
I see
and fate isnt the only one to use this name
Daikokuten also appears in moonlit fantasy

Tsukimichi
Saber or Saber lily?
Yes
minor spoiler but yeah
Speaking of Fate I started watching Fate/Stay Night. Can't believe I considered it mid until now I feel dumb
The jp name for jesus isn't jesus so understandable
There is a jesus statue in Japan
yes
there's a cursed colonel sanders statue in japan even
what's so weird about a jesus statue
Next season 
was s3 confirmed?
Colonel Sanders is one of the American gods
i cant rmb
Yes
i actually read into the WN and got SUPER lost
Because Christianity doesn't exist in Japan... and there was that one weird cult too
I think founder of the cult was "I just liked Jesus as a person"
there were 3 gods (besides the bitch) that appear before makoto
This one local jp factory claims jesus or his hidden brother migrated to japan after a lot of trials and tribulations and died in this one specific spot in aomori prefecture i forgot the entire lore but you can google it
one was tsukuyomi ofc
the other i mentioned was Daikokuten
who makoto doesnt take seriously
Think so yes
real talk.... what is Type-Moon's connection with Fate
type moon is the company that created fate vn back in the day



they make all their money from fgo nowadays though ๐
the other
was
wait shit
was it athena?
yes
it was
wao

anyways i got stuffs to do have fun 
but yeah
fgo barely has any american figures
the logic being
"they're too new"
i mean well
servants power levels are dependent on their history and lore
the longer the history the stronger they are
it's why edison is super weak and needs to be augmented by super armour
If you really want to be that guy, then we have tons of native American picks 
You have lots to learn

Also there's this guy
I guess we're gonna have to wait another couple hundred years before type-moon decides to add any... fuck forgot that website
Wendigoon
isnt it wendigo

tsukuyomi, daikokuten and amaterasu

it's athena in the WN
ain't that tomb raider
Is there anybody here who knows a LN called "Avesta of Black&White"?
my bad Athena is the one who appears and fights him
I'm sure amaterasu was featured in the second tomb raider game in the trilogy
first i've heard of it
but wtf
prequel to dies irae?

VERY long before Prequel
And then there is Adytia who happens before Avesta
fate 
I have no idea what is going on in fate, I just like saber
wait
ender
wait is the difference between saber and saber lily
Best girl fr

it's literally a younger saber
That what is the othe saber
that's just corrupted saber
I guess I just need saber alter

for the lack of a better word
Amazon is smoking
Rin is a big cutie too
the artoria variants in FGO alone
the heck
How many sabers variants we got?
saber variants or saber faces
saber sabers

wat
saber variant
Ender

I know
I just don't want to fucking type out her whole ass name
wait
it's just king arthur
I couldn't stand reading makeine

makeine LN is
VERY worse
nukumizu in LN is 
it also helps that the anime nukes the more troublesome parts
he became a typical dense harem protag at some point

the fuck is this shit
i still enjoyed it a lot tho
I would watch a second season but I'm avoiding LN
i need to go keep up with gimai's LN
i'm woefully out of date
Mercari is ran by lunatics, then again Japan still hasn't figured out how to run a web store
how much of the LN did you read?

I don't know if I should pull the trigger 
in other words
basori is
is there any other variants beyond alter and lily
interesting
God fuck this website
@severe grailtry to finish 4
trust me it worth
for the actual best girl
and why the LN readers dont care for yanami as much

I was wrong, Basori is the student council president, right? I was referring to Tiara


are you thinking of shikiya?
aka the zombie not quite ded girl
or the ACTUAL student council president
nah, shikiya i totally memorized the name 
shikiya is the actual best girl as far as the LN is concerned

I made a mess with the names but yes, I dropped it because of nukumizu and tiara
probably cos yanami is far more insufferable in the LN
I really didn't care about Yanami even in the anime 
this is an undeniable fact

Saber Alter gonna wait 
wait
I got two more nendoroids coming in anyway
I have Motoko Kusangi and that blonde from Kaiju No 8
this is the face of best girl

oh ok WOAH
the manga makes it look
so good
that scene from end vol 4 ||confession lel||
kyaaaaa

Was nukumizu the dumbest being in the universe?

she's kinda deadpan, emotionless
or rather the truth is, she doesnt know how to express her feelings
I don't need an explanation, nothing would convince me to read this again anyway 
||so when she does confess at the heat of the moment becacuase nukkun rescues her from falling off the stage, even she herself is VERY confused||
she's like
I cant read that blacl line
"is this what im supposed to do here?"
No?
you can't read anything

IT'S BEEN ALMOST 3 YEARS
meh


but she never took it hard
earned the hatred of many people
it's clear she has some feelings for him
tho she doesnt understand it herself
kinda
what does "kinda" mean

One Piece anime doesn't exist
I haven't read the manga in months so the manga hasn't either

the anime will go on hiatus for 6 months, take advantage of this time to get to the current one

I'm just waiting for the studio wit remake
cause that will cut down on so much filler and animation will be better early too
The moment I read "update the animation to the same as Wano" I gave up on the idea of โโwatching it and ignored the news

They're going to remake the entire One Piece to add the Dragon Ball auras

get out sun

Nowadays I mostly watch 12 episodes funny anime
I gave up on the idea of โโwatching anime, I only watched 4 last season and I haven't even finished 1 of them yet

Shounen actions are boring
What can be done in one episode, expanded to 10 episodes with half of the runtime with flashbacks and the other quarter being still frames with the camera panning

like i said, very confused
either that or she's the slyest girl in the entier series
nukkun scares me
I am still suffering from Stockholm syndrome


at least she is the prettiest 
she is
AND YOU CANT FINISH 64 EPS
OF FMAB

Most shounens are boring. Twinks yelling at each other fo 24 epsiodes. Wait, who am I kididng, minimum 100 episodes 
Ain't that the guy who said he can't muster enough energy for FMAB?
he hasnt finished it for 2 years and 11 months
proof?
mfer
proof is in this chat
I sent you proof last time we talked about this
scroll up far enough



fmab is ez
a shame
he was supposed to get me to watch eva
when he finished FMAB, Clannad and the FSN trilogy
One Piece made me cry, can FMAB?
yes

I forgot how many screenshots I sent
Did you cry in One Piece? 
oh bo
you can literally see me finish and end the anime
through the texts and screenshots I sent
well here's one screenshot
The only reason to cry while watching One Piece is when you watch Dressrosa and see the characters running for 10 episodes in a row to get to the top of a hill before fighting.

fate stay night
ah
i believe he did finish ubw and the 3 hf movies
Stay/Night was the best in the Fate series
The only fate I remember watching is Grand Order
wait wrong show
Fate/Zero made me snooze
didnt you say zero is the snoozefest
ah yep
see

i remembered


Mid personality 
i guess he is one note in stay night

damn
This person is either gay or a woman
grandpa collection

WHY ON GOD'S GREEN EARTH
DO YOU NEED THREE COPIES
OF ARTHUR
this collection is cursed
2 copies of Ash Lynx
2 copies of gojo
yeah, this is certainly a woman
Gay men don't simp for gojo

brazil

This such a cursed collection
The only thing I like about it is they they have Char
Surround by gigamid
anways,
https://myfigurecollection.net/profile/miyari
have fun
I swear my collection is more tame
I thought brazil is land of db fans
ah right
Mexican Ryuuko speaks to me
God bless Mexico for carrying the DBZ franchise
If only Japan gave a shit for a fraction of Mexico's affection for DBZ
Yes and no, everyone knows it because it was on the most famous channel, so most people have some nostalgia for the show, but few are really fans who watch it for something more than a fight
Pokemon and Yugioh
are like the only anime
universally known in America
The former is unescapable
Even my mom knows about Pokemon
same thing as db here, even my mother's generation knows these shows
Weridly, DBZ is very well known in the black and latino communities. Not so much for white people so 
I had a couple black friends that would not shut up about DBZ during football pratice
I think it is even a meme lol

But yeah
Before highschool, to me it was pokemon
and of course SAO was on everyone minds
You wanna feel old, SAO came out when I was in middleschool
I remember when everyone thought that was the "incest" anime
sao is only famous in the nerd community here, in fact anime in general with the exception of those mentioned above and CDZ were not very well known until a few years ago
and even so, Sao's reputation around here is not good

I do find it funny
