Something stupid about the anime localizers vs fans thing is that localizers think that the only people mad about it is right wing 4chan lolicons. I’m a left wing aro gay trans man who think changing the original text to such a degree that it has a completely different meaning then the original is ridiculous. I’m the exact kinda guy they are pandering to and I find it wrong. I’m anti-ai but hopefully this scare will get localizers to do their freaking job correctly

Why you need to watch Number24...
I'm about to go way, way back to a show that definitely slipped underneath ALL your radars: number24. It was a magical rugby anime chock-full of beautiful boys, fujoshi bait, and actual plot. Mind you, I had no idea how rugby even worked but I was seriously beyond excited at every action scene. The dialogue?? HILARIOUS. This show knew what it was doing with a female audience and the main character was shockingly snarky as hell.
I really can't put into words how wonderful the bromance vibes were. I am beginning to realize anime writers know exactly what they're doing with the animation there. It went to some extreme levels to bait me but I was digging every moment. Now, if that's not your vibe, you can still enjoy the character dynamics, friendships ("friends"...), and the "you can do it!" when it comes to beating rival teams. Mix in some fierce competition and tragic backstory.
I binged the entire show in a single day and... #noregrets. Your turn! Come back and tell me what you thought about that certain church scene...

A Silent Voice: The Movie Review
Date Watched: May 1, 2023
Director: Naoko Yamada
Year: 2016
Genre: Animation, Drama
Length: 2h 10m
Rated: N/A
Quick Summary: A young man is ostracized by his classmates after he bullies a deaf girl to the point where she moves away. Years later, he sets off on a path for redemption.
my review under the cut (contains spoilers)
this movie is absolutely beautiful. it's been on my netflix list for a while now but today was the day. it is such an important movie with an even more important message. i think everybody should give this movie a chance. lets break it down.
plot - 4/5
the plot of this movie is the most important aspect of this review. it covers bullying, mental health/SI, love, friendship, deaf individuals, and growth. this is something i had never seen in a movie before. the plot of this film carried it all the way through. it is just such a beautiful and well executed plot. i love it!
characters - 5/5
the characters in this movie were all very well fleshed out. obviously shoko nishimiya was my favorite character. she is adorable and deserves the world. shôya ishida's redemption arch was very well executed. you could tell the writers wanted you to hate the younger shôya, but respect him as a teenager -- his growth was impeccable.
setting - 5/5
the setting in this movie was beautiful. it seems like a typical anime setting, but nonetheless is it beautiful.
animation - 5/5
the animation, just like the setting, is beautiful. i just love anime.
overall i'd give this movie a 4.75/5. this will be added to my confort movie cycle.

Domestic Girlfriend
Now I know why people hated this anime and now I just finished it I hated it too but to be honest I am intrigued... Because even with the plot was looking like a hentai without seeing the sex scenes especially the teacher and student relationship and incest step sibling relationship in one plot story was actually unique and smart but the way they executed was a bit rushed that is so bad; And there are characters such as Momo and Alex were left to the sideline like they could have been an obstacle to make yhe story more intense and interesting honestly. Overall 5/10 I didn't felt any sympathy for Natsuo when Hina left and Rui is the best girl in my opinion she deserves absolutely the best and not Natsuo.

I hope you know that literally nobody is going to be able to live up to the standard you, V*v, and Glitch have set and your arrogance and exploitation of your fanbase and connections has screwed millions of creatives out of their dreams because Hollywood is a joke that isn't worth telling and wealthy e-celebs like yourself have claimed the indie scene all to yourselves and moved the goalposts into the stratosphere.
Nope. This isn't a zero sum game. There is not some limited, prescribed number of indie trophy slots that a few studios greedily filled up, blocking everyone else out. That is not how it works. Nothing any other creator is doing - short of personally sending hired goons to your doorstep or stealing your credit cards - is taking anything away from you or preventing your success. In fact if an indie creator can manage to demonstrate that they've got something viable going, it may help to map out a pathway for others.
I think I'm not going to bother trying to address whether or not cartoons in return for support from fans - an entirely voluntary exchange - constitutes exploitation. And I'm living in the Midwest driving a 2007 economy car with 200k+ miles on it, but let's just skip past the assumptions that I'm wealthy and connected too.
Instead, let's get to the weirdly myopic notion that the indie scene is held captive by three studios. Maybe YouTube algorithms or Twitter bubbles are somewhat to blame, but in actuality there are so, so many individual people, friend groups, and small production houses out there making independent animation, I cannot possibly name them all.
Here are some anyway:

GeoExe | Gwain Saga
Horatio the Vampire

The Brave Locomotive
Finchwing (+ many other Warrior Cats animators)
Quazies
SamBakZa
Kamikaze: Trial by Fire
By no means a full list. That's just YouTube, and mostly just English language stuff, and I didn't even get to the multitudes of Warrior Cats animation collabs.
The point is, the indie landscape is vast and populated by creators new and old, making all kinds of animated media from skits, to shows, to ARGs, to films. Audience sizes vary as much as the content, stylistic approaches, subject matter, and budgets do. There are no compliance standards, no gateways to entry, no goalposts. There's not even any preset definition of success except what you decide for yourself.
Anyway, instead of nurturing your resentments, consider making something. I assure you, it's a far more rewarding use of your time and energy, and pretty much no one can stop you.

EDIT- Made some additions to the list based on comments. Thanks!
