[topaz linden]

A great (and complete) manga that's basically a more grounded/realistic John Wick story (Elite hitman tries to retire from the life style, gets dragged unwillingly back into it by people who are either unaware of his skills or think they're exaggerated)

Why are japanese people always so pretty

[warm forge]

Hey, connoisseurs!
I'm looking for a typical scene where a character runs away from something (like boulder, falling tree or whatever) in a straight line - you know, the usual "why don't you just jump to the side" moment.
Does anyone remember an example of such?

guys

is there a sxf movie

cause i heard about it

but i dont see it anywhere

[long peak]

Yes

[ionic schooner]

guys whats genshin

and why is it in jjk

[topaz linden]

it just came out in Japan theaters two weeks ago. No English sub/dub version exists yet

No official date yet for the EN dub/sub version, but it'll be out sometime this year

[frank musk]

oh yeah arent they trying to make that canon to the story? or am i thinking of another movie?

[topaz linden]

Written by the same author, but don't think they're doing anything special with it as far as I know

[craggy mango]

Yes, the author confirmed it few weeks ago

But he still doesnt know when will he add it

[next crescent]

Though idk which one specifically they use in jjk

Probably the first one

[craggy mango]

Just saw this top 20 anime of all time in 6 different sites

Sauce in pic

[woeful osprey]

[frank musk]

I always thought gintama being in the top 10 was just a thing that happens over in MAL, as a gintama fan, im so happy to see many ppl rate the series highly

[ionic schooner]

The better one piece

?

!!!!!

[hot notch]

Rare Legend of the Galactic Heroes W

[edgy bone]

it's a problem with having a rating system for separate seasons

people who dont like the show will drop it during the first season or so

so later seasons will only be watched and voted by people who liked it enough to keep watching

for something really long like gintama if you made it all the way to season 5 or w/e without dropping it obviously you quite like the story

so you'll rate it high

[hot notch]

This is also probably why you only see the The Big 3 on this list once. They're all once season so all ratings go to one place.

[hot notch]

Holy shit. S3E3 of Dr. Stone gave me actual chills. That reveal is crazy.

[edgy bone]

ye the last couple arcs are really fun

honestly the whole manga was really fun

it's probably the most fun ive had reading a series weekly

all the chapters were made in such a way that they still contributed to the larger story while also being enjoyable to read on their own

[topaz linden]

Wasnt my thing personally, but I did appreciate the lack of filler in it

Every chapter did a decent job of consistently advancing the story forward

[ionic schooner]

Is Dr stone the anime version of breaking bad

[shadow knot]

I’m not a huge fan of the last arc but the series was very serviceable throughout

they do blaze through complex inventions but I get it cuz no one wants to see an in depth tutorial on how they build x thing every time, everything felt fair game and serves as a creative take in the shōnen formula overall

[prisma furnace]

I watch Fluffy Paradise Ep 1 & it’s so cute when Female MC hug the dog and white tiger

[next crescent]

That's sounds hilariously intriguing

[mighty cape]

Are you more of a Sukuna or Gojo fan (JJK)

@next crescent

Honestly idk

Probably gojo because he's funny

[mighty cape]

does anyone still like sword art online or no?

[edgy bone]

i havent seen alicization at all but besides that I still have the same opinion of sao i had like ~8 years ago

[next crescent]

I stopped watching sao after season 1 left a bitter taste in my mouth

All I know is, since then, it's gotten like 8 more seasons and covered like 15 more arcs or smth

[edgy bone]

i liked the aincrad arc for what it was

esp in the novel where it's just the relevant story moments without all the side content

[hot notch]

My opinions on Sword Art.
Aincrad: The OG. Still good and why the series is popular.
Alfhiem: I like the premise but the execution was poor and was full of unnecessary stuff.
GGO: I actually really like the GGO arc. I know that's not the common opinion but I liked it.
Mother's Rosario: Back to what I liked about the premise of the Alfhiem arc. Decent story and good feels.
(There's a movie and an arc in here somewhere that I'm pretty sure I'm forgetting but if I forgot it then I probably didn't care for it).
Ordinal Scale Movie: Alright. Definitely felt a bit forced but not all bad.
Alicization: Great. Honestly the best the series had been to that point. Still had it's issues though.
War for Underworld: Continued the good part of Alicization along with it's issues. The return of Jesus Kirigaya.

[edgy bone]

ordinal scale is canon?

[hot notch]

Yea

It's referenced several times afterwards

[edgy bone]

damn

I'll binge them all one day

it's just really low priority rn

[hot notch]

Understandable

I used to watch a shit ton of anime instead of sleeping so that's when I watched most of SAO.

[edgy bone]

i just kinda go through phases when i binge a lot of stuff and when i dont feel like binging anything at all and play games or watch yt instead

in the past couple weeks i binged a lot of the disney/pixar movies that came out in the last decade or so

and now i feel like playing video games again

[craggy mango]

Damn first episode of Mato Seihei animation looks like cheap isekai series

[hot notch]

I get this. I just binged all of Dr. Stone S3 over the past like 3 days because I felt like it.

Also just watched the Rascal Does Not Dream of movie that came out over the summer.

[edgy bone]

i still need to finish akagi mob s3 the garden of sinners movies the rest of the monogatari series

speaking of

was aniwave down yesterday or was it just me?

[hot notch]

Idk. I mostly use AniWatch so I only use AniWave if Watch is acting up.

[craggy mango]

No, it was working just fine with me

Meanwhile, Trigger "cooking" with Dungeon Meshi

Every food and cooking preparation scenes are so good

I also like banter between the characters, feels more alive than the manga (thanks to fluid expression)

[edgy bone]

guys

are there any websites without dimming

cuz im watching jjk on aniwave and the scenes keep dimming

like i get why they did it

but ik theres a version without it

and i want that

[next crescent]

dimming?

do you mean when the scene is just a giant fucking flash of white and the scene is dimmed so as not to blind you?

i thought that was just normal

[paper scaffold]

the dimming is because of concerns of the effects of bright flashing lights

I think usually the bluray versions remove that

[next crescent]

^

but who cares about blu ray

[topaz linden]

Can't believe you left out the 100% canon Sword Art Online Abridged 😭

[hot notch]

Also there's no blurays yet since they literally just aired.

[topaz linden]

Nah, basically there was this one episode of Pokemon back in the day that had a strong strobe effect in it. At least 658 people were hospitalized in Japan from seizures.

Afterwards, Japanese broadcasters made it a universal rule for animated programs that all flashing must either be slower than three times per second, or dimmed enough so that they don't qualify as "flashing lights" anymore ("flashing light" being defined as extreme changes in color).

[next crescent]

oh i remember the porygon incident

i'm just saying, who cares about the blu ray

[topaz linden]

So anime broadcasted on TV (what gets uploaded to streaming sites the same day) is dimmed. The bluray, which isn't broadcasted, isn't dimmed.

[next crescent]

if it removes the dimming, you're just giving yourself a faux seizure watching that shit

[topaz linden]

Problem is it's not just specifically the moment of flashing that's dimmed. It often just get's blanket applied to an entire segment just to be safe/because it's simpler, rather than just the flashing. The "flashing" can also be extremely brief/not nearly as bad as you might be imagining.

Ex: Todoroki's Flashfreeze in the broadcast version is dimmed for 20 seconds straight compared to the bluray, including parts with literally no light in them at all (like him zooming down the wave of ice at the start)

[meager kernel]

the only SAO that matters

[next crescent]

blanked?

[topaz linden]

^Dimming starts 4 seconds in

[topaz linden]

Blanket, my b

Blanket-applied

[next crescent]

ohh

i thought you meant something akin to censoring

like a blank/black bar

[topaz linden]

One of these things is not like the other

[next crescent]

i think i'm too used to seeing the dimming then because it looks more normal on the right

honestly i kind of appreciate it though because usually i'm in the dark

[topaz linden]

Oh no, you're like my brother and 2x speed

[next crescent]

and all those flashing lights give me headaches

LMAO

HUSH

^They speak truth

[next crescent]

^ me at 4am when the flashing white scenes start

[topaz linden]

Maybe you should take that as a sign that you should be asleep

I hear it helps with eye strain

[next crescent]

it isn't 4am yet

also i struggle to sleep earlier

i can lay in bed and try, but it won't happen until roughly when i usually go to sleep

doesn't matter if i wake up early and don't sleep enough either, i naturally just don't sleep until at least 2am

so might as well do something while i'm still awake/not tired

[topaz linden]

Have you perhaps tried...

🧱

[next crescent]

could you do it for me?

you're so tall, the gravity would probably have it falling at terminal velocity before it hits, making it more effective

But like sometimes some scenes aren't even that dark and it dims

And sometimes I get flash banged 😭

Entire JJK fights get dimmed 😔

[shadow knot]

are you talking about impact frames or what

[hot notch]

No sometimes entire section of fights will be darkened for little to no reason.

Honestly made some this JJK season a little hard to watch since most of it was already so dark

[frank musk]

You see this a lot in other series too, i see this a lot in mha fights

[shadow knot]

https://tenor.com/view/one-punch-man-s2-saitama-suiryu-punches-gif-14187218

Hylians in most LoZ timelines are the OG human race.

He's human through and through. Hylian is just the specific type of human he is.

I mean if pointy ears is enough to be called an elf then sure I guess

[mighty cape]

also im tempted to watch link click i think thats the name

Mangadex

[edgy bone]

real question or sarcasm?

[ionic schooner]

Sarcasm😔

Is mangadex good though

For reading manga

Or is mangabat better

Cause I use mangabat

[edgy bone]

it's the general recommended site nowadays

it has the largest library ,translations in multiple languages, no stupid ads

[ionic schooner]

How much it cost

[edgy bone]

it's a pirate site

lol

[ionic schooner]

Thanks jucatorul

I will use mangadex

[edgy bone]

tachiyomi is an apk app for android that functions as a manga reader for mobile

it has plugins for basically every manga website so you can get manga from there

[ionic schooner]

But it will be gone for that

😔

[edgy bone]

ye ugh

I'll have to migrate over like 30 manga

pien

I'll deal with it when I feel like reading again

[ionic schooner]

It's on Google too right

As a website

[edgy bone]

tachiyomi?

no the app itself is just a reader, it doesnt host any manga

you can find pirate sites on google that tachiyomi has plugins for

[ionic schooner]

No I mean mangadex

It's on Google rigjt

Also what's a reader😔

I thought the pirate site was also the reader

[edgy bone]

most pirate sites dont have a mobile app

(and the few that did got taken down years ago)

and reading on a mobile browser is not a pleasant experience and doesnt offer many qol features

[ionic schooner]

Oh yeah true

Yeah ig the reader puts it in a good format or somethinf

[edgy bone]

tachiyomi is a reader app designed for mobile, it can take chapters from any source site, it has chapter and page tracking, it can download chapters for offline reading, it can keep track of updates and notify you when a new one comes out

and is overall very customizible

[ionic schooner]

Oj

That's pretty awesome

[edgy bone]

mangadex is normal website yes

you can google it

frieren took a page of out hunter x hunter - keep the song, switch up the lyrics, call it "OP/ED 2"

still love the song tho

The song is really nice and the instrumentals and beat sort of reminds me of hachigatsu bou tsukiakari

I love it

The ED hits way harder

JakeFromStateFarm do you know any parody animes

Like opm and mashle

[topaz linden]

• The Eminence in Shadow parodies a lot of your typical "grand conspiracy" dark fantasy type stories. Decent amount of big fights and hype moments.
• Konosuba parodies a lot of fantasy isekai (though it's more just comedy for its own sake than parody). Not too much hype fights tho aside from Megumin's explosions.
• The Hero Is Overpowered but Overly Cautious also parodies isekai tropes, though it leans more heavily on an overpowered main character, unlike Konosuba.
• SAO Abridged parodies the original SAO so well that I actually recommend it to people over the original. Not really a fighting series, but the comedy is fantastic
• Not really much of a parody, but Mob Psycho 100 would be something you'd be very likely to like if Mashle and OPM were shows you enjoyed.

[mighty cape]

people find eminence in shadow cringey, is it cringe though?

I like how apothecary's second op is more cute and wholesome sounding though, sort of upbeat without being normal jpop-y kind of music like the first one

I didn't think the first one was overly Jpop-y. I'd have to listen to it again but I got more of that vibe from the new one then the old one.

I like Solo Leveling first episode

They changed the script a bit, so we wont be confused in future when they introduce new characters

Clearly better than the webnovel and webtoon

Also the censorship isnt annoying for a gore series

[next crescent]

i forgot to watch the episode yesterday 😭

[eternal wyvern]

Finally binge watched the whole season 1 of apothecary diaries anime and manga, and now wanna read more

Man I miss reading shojo manga sometimes

[next crescent]

yeee it's really good

[eternal wyvern]

I got secondhand embarrassment for Jinshi

Poor dude

[topaz linden]

No need, he's into that

[next crescent]

ikr

it's so funny

but my god, i can't help but think of how bad i'd feel if i were in that situation

[eternal wyvern]

Caught of to the latest manga chapter cuz I can't wait for new anime episodes, kinda funny seeing him down bad that much for her

I miss reading those stuff in shojo/josei

[topaz linden]

Yee, I get a decent amount from manwha reading thankfully. Good stuff

[eternal wyvern]

I think I need to search for fanfics now

I want those spicy stuff you can only get w/ fanfics

[next crescent]

watching the episode now and i am so glad the team decided to keep jinwoo's korean name and not the japanese one they changed it to months ago for that trailer thing

they kept all the korean names, actually

thankfully

it would've been so jarring to hear/read them be called anything else

[next crescent]

the first episode was actually really good

hoping this continues

[edgy bone]

how did the art look comparatively

[next crescent]

Go looks... Funny
But I can't really expect them to fully recreate all his wrinkles and scars as beautifully as the manhwa did

Though you can definitely still identify who everyone is

Which is good

The art style is of course simplified to be able to be animated for TV, but generally it holds up pretty well imo

Plus that scene with the giant statue

[edgy bone]

hmm i see

expected but also kinda sad

very detailed art is one of the things I like looking at the most

[next crescent]

Yeee

But the action scenes are good

And music, and voice acting

Director Go has exactly the voice I imagined

[edgy bone]

can you send me a screenshot of what he looks

[next crescent]

I don't want to on mobile since I'd have to deal with the like 20 pop up ads I get just trying to start an episode on the site I use

[edgy bone]

it's definitely misisng the shading but it's not too bad

[next crescent]

So here's his ref

Ye

[edgy bone]

ah didnt know you were on mobile

sorry

😭

[next crescent]

Oh it's fine LOL

But yeah, you can tell who he is, just loses a bit of magic

but it is still rather accurate to the manhwa version

I think it's mostly just the line weight and lighting that makes the manhwa so much better

[edgy bone]

you know how to artiste better than me so I'll trust you

[topaz linden]

They do be arting

[next crescent]

The art is so good

I can only hope they crank it up to a similar level when big events happen

[shadow sleet]

The show got me to binge the manhwa and i got to 150 in 2 days

Unlike mushoku where u need weeks to finish a volume

[edgy bone]

different medium

[hot notch]

I mean I read all of the MT WN in 2 weeks so I dont think it's that bad. Solo leveling took me longer to read I think.

[edgy bone]

(also I feel like it shouldnt take you multiple weeks to finish 1 light novel volume )

[hot notch]

I'm not sure how this compares to the light novel but the final stats on the web novel for MT were 24.5 volumes, 284 chapters, and 2,830,000 words.

Still my favorite thing I've ever read

https://tenor.com/view/roxy-migurdia-mushoku-tensei-jobless-reincarnation-animated-profile-picture-gif-20801743

Mushoku my beloved

[edgy bone]

I still need to read em

but from the bits and pieces ive seen im already super into it

definitely my favorite isekai just from the anime

[hot notch]

I was just scrolling though stuff to watch on Hulu and saw it and I was like, "this looks cool". Then I watched the two episodes that were out at the time and was like "damn this is amazing". I liked it so much that I watched both episodes again right then and there. After I did that I started reading the WN cause I couldn't wait. Had it done shortly after episode 4 came out.

All my friends were pissed because I was super into reading it and wasn't really doing stuff with them.

This past week ive been deep in the rabbithole that is elder scrolls lore

[crisp skiff]

I see

I tried to like manhwas

But man, I they all just meh to me in comes to plot

[edgy bone]

A lot of them are just indie 1 man projects

If you go in expecting smth like that i think theyre fine

Stuff like solo leveling is rare

[crisp skiff]

Yeah true

It doesn't have to be like action or fantasy

I really want something that's interesting, whether will it be slice of life or something

[edgy bone]

Im not super well versed in them

I can try asking some friends if you want

[crisp skiff]

I appreciate the offer

I'll ask it later

[eternal wyvern]

Manhwa recs huh...
I remember reading some that interests me, but it leans more on romance and drama w/ fucked up premise/plot sometimes

[crisp skiff]

Is it the N tag?

[eternal wyvern]

Not really

But if it's manga, I remember reading some that has that if you want

[crisp skiff]

Never liked those type of stuff

So no freaking thank you

[eternal wyvern]

For the manhwa one, from the top of my head is "lady devil", not really hard romance, but the world and story is pretty intriguing to me cuz of the politics and drama

Tho kinda be warned, on the earlier parts of the story there's an implication for "sibling love" (iykyk), when the plot twist it's not

Also "this witch of mine", can't really say a lot cuz of spoilers, but it's kinda heart wretching cuz of the romance tragedy for the first part of the arc

The later half kinda went somewhat "chill" compared to the first part, mostly to expand the supporting casts, but still nice conclusion

[mighty cape]

solo leveling is fucking good

[edgy bone]

Its one of the few self indulgent power fantasies i actually enjoyed

(In most part cuz of the art and overall presentation)

[mighty cape]

ep 2 and 3 are gonna be interesting

[hot notch]

I did. It was alright. Cool premise but half the show was basically a slideshow so that really hurt it.

[hybrid quiver]

i wonder if anyone has read/watched yubisake to renren here

[eternal wyvern]

Kinda planning on reading/watching it, cuz I remember reading the mangaka's prev work and kinda like it

also need more shojo fix nowadays

Might binge watch it like apothecary diaries when the whole season is out

[hybrid quiver]

ooh nice, i plan to do the same!

seen clips on tiktok but i assume its unfinished which is why i havent watched it too

it seems cute so i rlly look forward to it

[eternal wyvern]

The new season only started last week afaik, so Imma try checking it again in three months

[hybrid quiver]

is it the usual 24 eps too or?

[topaz linden]

"usual" 24?

That's more the exception, isnt it?

[hybrid quiver]

oh idk i just thought some shows these days do 24 eps regardless the genre

so i was wondeing if the same goes to yubisake to renren

[topaz linden]

Nah, 12 is the standard. You'll mostly only see 24 episode runs for later seasons or for very popular shows

A Sign of Affection (Yubisake to Renren) is 12

[hybrid quiver]

oh i see

i actually thought 24 was the usual since i havent really watched a lot of less popular anime

[topaz linden]

Typically it'll be 12 to make a 3 month "season".
That way, there's 4 "seasons" of anime blocked out each year for the broadcast companies to work through. 24 episode runs are ones that can cough up the money for two seasons worth of tv network space 👀 (so usually more popular shows)

Back in the day tho, seasons just weren't really a thing Makes it interesting to check out the pages of some older animes

Like FMAB just being one continuous 64 episode run

[hybrid quiver]

oooo interesting

i remember soul eater too which was 51 eps long

and that was the first anime i've watched then the popular ones with 24 eps

[topaz linden]

There's pros and cons to it lol

On one hand, no season breaks means arcs can be as long as they like since they don't need to wrap up the major story bits by the season's end

On the other hand... that's a loooot of work to get out all at once/back to back 😂

So a lot of those shows had a fuckton of filler episodes

[hybrid quiver]

filler eps are parts i usually find annoying but man now it makes sense too

[topaz linden]

Yee, since a lot of anime episodes are worked on literally up until an hour before they air, filler episodes were a way to buy time to actually animate the important bits lol

even today there's still episodes only being submitted to the studio within minutes of their air time

Anime studios be like me with my college essays

[shadow knot]

12 eps
24 eps

[topaz linden]

1 hr episode ones

[eternal wyvern]

I remember seeing seeing a shift from continuous long running anime to us having seasonal anime in mid 2010s or smth

[topaz linden]

Sounds about right

[eternal wyvern]

Filler eps was a common thing esp for long running shonen stuff back then, nowadays kinda glad it's a bit less

[topaz linden]

Yee, now they just limit it to the obligatory swimsuit episode

[eternal wyvern]

Truly veteran anime watcher/manga reader moment

[topaz linden]

[eternal wyvern]

Now just need to cope your favorite shows gets a new season or not, instead of coping will it get an adaptation at all

[topaz linden]

Thankfully, S2s and onward are also more common nowadays 👀

Even for shows that deserved to be forgotten...

Also, speaking of A Sign of Affection, its OP struck me as very familiar for some reason...

Then I realized where I had heard it before

Btw thanks for the freesia reminder, made me wanna relisten their old music again

[eternal wyvern]

Ooh I remember seeing this one on mangadex, didn't manage to read it that much, but saw a tweet it's finally ending w/ 4 volumes

[remote salmon]

why do modern anime's takes ages now to complete ?

for series that aldready have a finished source material, like kimetsu no yaiba and uhh...

i cant think of any other example, but hey, anime's back in the day are finished within a year or two

[edgy bone]

Anime Back in the day were 1 season then you had to go read the manga

Or stuff like Naruto and one piece that's long form and never ends

Longer adaptations split into multiple seasons with confirmed sequels is a more recent thimg

[eternal wyvern]

Yeah, feels like kinda depends

Usually "one season only" anime either only there as a promo material for the source (so a concluded ending w/ no further continuation, whether the source is still on going or not) or anime original

Honestly the fact that we have seasonal anime feels like it makes it possible to see more new adaptation, compared to early 2010s

Tho on the other hand, it also makes it kinda hard for me to follow along cuz of the abundance of choices per each season

[edgy bone]

Seasonals excited since forever

It's just that people didn't follow anime like a form of live service content the way the do nowadays

[edgy bone]

worst news

ffs

[topaz linden]

Im sure they'll be available still for people that know to look and where to look

But rip "easily accessible for the general population" manga reading

[edgy bone]

ye I found the 3rd party source

but idk if it's gonna be updated in the future or if they just copy pasted the apks before the purge and that's all

cuz with no updates they're all bound to break eventually

[topaz linden]

I imagine the main ones will almost certainly be updated

Just all the smaller ones in worried about

[edgy bone]

oh well

at least this gives me motivation to finish reading my backlog

[long peak]

I mean you can just use manga abyss

[edgy bone]

not the same thing

advantage of tachi was that you had extensions for all sites so you'd get direct updates from scanlation teams access to sites with more obscure series that are harder to find

[long peak]

That's what manga abyss is

It's literally the same thing as tachiyomi

Same layout and everything

[edgy bone]

then are you sure if it's actually different and not just a tachi fork?

cuz if it's a fork it will have broken from this too

i'd be shocked if they had independent extensions

[long peak]

I have no clue

[topaz linden]

Manga Abyss hasn't been updated in 3 years

Literally a dead program

[remote salmon]

ohh thats true, also most anime back in the day wasnt based on manga or lightnovels ... i think

ahh wait, scratch that. most anime back in the day were adapted from manga/novels or games

can only think of a few that are standalone animes

[next crescent]

i think in general, both "back in the day" and now, they're adapted from manga/novels lol

like with lots of movies

a lot of blockbuster movies are based on books

kinda makes it easier to make a story when the story is already made

[remote salmon]

true, im just remembering old anime's like outlaw star, cowboy bebop, the 90's entry of gundam anime's etc

ohh theres also a very recent anime which was made on like a whim

edgerunners

[mighty cape]

ok so i watched solo leveling first episode

[next crescent]

it's good right lol

they made some small changes but kept it largely the same which is nice

Evil ass motherfuckers dude

[topaz linden]

...?

What's evil about creating a standard for the consensual and fairly compensated use of a voice actor's voice?

Seems like a good thing vs the alternative (no standard, big actors getting good deals while small actors get shitty ones)

[frank musk]

Theyre using ethical approaches, which is already a good step in the right direction

[long peak]

The issue is that they never consulted voice actors, who are pretty much unanimously against any use of AI voices. Using Ai voices in games in general can make breaking into the scene way harder. Plenty of notable vas got their start from voicing minor or small characters that could easily be filled in with ai now.

So if you have a VA who does opt in to have their voice used, it'll be a hell of a lot cheaper for studios/companies to just use that. VAs not coming in also affects other jobs like audio engineers who's entire job is dependent on real VAs.

They fought during the strikes against AI in total, but when it comes to VAs, they just partnered with a company to have it done through them

[mighty cape]

good?

ITS THE FUCKING BEST ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME

THE ANIMATION IS SO CLEAN

[next crescent]

[topaz linden]

The issue is that they never consulted voice actors, who are pretty much unanimously against any use of AI voices.
That may very well be the case (without a union-wide vote on that specific issue, hard to say for sure), but the strike SAG-AFTRA union members voted for was for the restriction of AI, not the wholesale ban of it. This is a continuation of what was in the strike authorization 97.91% of union voters approved last year.

Using Ai voices in games in general can make breaking into the scene way harder. Plenty of notable vas got their start from voicing minor or small characters that could easily be filled in with ai now.
I've seen arguments like this a lot and they've always struck me as a sort of a "trying to put the genie back in the bottle".
A lot of animators got their start as in-betweeners doing the frames between keyframes done by their seniors, computers replaced much of this. Clappers and film jockeys as entry-film crew jobs were taken out by digitalization of film. No one's arguing to bring back film reels and paper animation boards just to make jobs.

From the initial strike authorization vote:

AI: Technology has advanced at a rapid pace. Artificial intelligence has already proven to be a real and immediate threat to the work of our members and can mimic members’ voices, likenesses and performances. We must get agreement around acceptable uses, bargain protections against misuse, and ensure consent and fair compensation for the use of your work to train AI systems and create new performances.

https://www.sagaftra.org/sag-aftra-strike-authorization-vote

They also directly address some of the restrictions in their FAQ on AI on their website:

Why can't you just ban AI on signatory projects?
Although there are members who took the concept of banning AI to the picket lines, it was our goal to put guardrails around AI, not wholly ban it.

Even if we wanted to ban all AI, Federal Labor Law constrains what we can bargain, limiting it to mandatory subjects of bargaining—those that affect wages, hours, and working conditions—and permissive subjects—those that are allowed if the parties agree to bargain them. AI encompasses both types of subjects, and it isn’t entirely clear where the line is given the current state of technology.

A ban on AI, while it sounds good in theory, could have significant unintended consequences, particularly as we cannot control companies with whom we don’t have a bargaining relationship.

TL;DR: They can bargain on matters of wage, hours, and working conditions, but a lot of AI negotiation is stuff they can only bargain if the other party (the media companies) agree to bargain on them ("permissive subjects"). Which goes about as well as you'd expect for an industry universally shat on

TL;DR:TLDR: They're trying to make an okay sandwich out of a fairly shit sandwich

[next crescent]

lots of words

[topaz linden]

Basically, union's doing what it said it would do when the strike started (restrict/regulate, not eliminate, AI voices). VAs may want more, and may be justified in wanting it, but it's hardly the sudden betrayel a lot of folks are making it out to be.

• US has laws on what unions can strike/bargain for without mutual consent with the companies, so their hands are tied legally in some areas

[next crescent]

Hmm ig now I have a reason to read the webcomic, cuz I like the art, but never have any reason to start reading it cuz ofthe length

[frank musk]

ngl this looks like something kurosai would cook up

[hot notch]

I thought it was at first

[next crescent]

LESSGO??

do we know which studio?

[eternal wyvern]

No news on it yet from the acc I saw

But said it's one of three popular(?) KR webcomics getting anime adaptation this year, or smth

[next crescent]

yeah, i tried looking it up myself but all i'm getting is just posts about the webtoon not the anime announcement

but this sounds awesome considering the bright start that solo leveling got

[topaz linden]

I for one welcome death worlds as the replacement for isekai spam

[next crescent]

i hope they get mappa or something

LMAO

yeah

[eternal wyvern]

Ngl I hope it's not mappa, mostly cuz of the recent news abt their working conditions atm

[next crescent]

oh right, i forgot about that

the last episodes of jjk being like 30% done or smth

[mighty cape]

I love this video

[edgy bone]

[dusty fable]

Ryukishi's art at its finest. Only his penmanship could rival these faces

[dusty fable]

|| yes || ||and if you played Higurashi, you should know she is important||

[hot notch]

DId they change to the JP names for this episode Solo Leveling?

[next crescent]

They used the Korean names for the first episode

Idk why they would change to Japanese ones for the future episodes
