Reintroducing myself!
I’m David, home video producer + Director of Restoration & Authoring at post-production co. MediaOCD, working w/labels like our own @animeigo.bsky.social & @wholegrainpictures.bsky.social, @discotekmedia.bsky.social, Anime Ltd. & more! Maybe I’ve worked on some of your faves?

The discs from top to bottom, left to right, are: Urusei Yatsura, Digimon Movies, Berserk 1997, Belle UK UHD+BD, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Aim for the Ace!, Sonic X Japanese Version, and Gunbuster.

Yet again we’re seeing this pattern of “free speech for me but not for thee” when it comes to this administration’s way of running things, and crying like a little bitch whenever anyone dares criticize or otherwise disagree with them.

And they call liberals snowflakes.

Celebrating the man’s death is totally not okay and I have seen some unhinged ass behavior from too many people.

At the same time, if they’re to punish those people, what about the millions who wish death/violence upon anyone who dares list their pronouns online, LET ALONE exist as a trans person?

Seeing official US government accounts posting and engagement baiting on Twitter as if they are Reddit mods is truly a sight to see.

It seems that visas are allegedly being revoked for hate speech regarding Charlie Kirk. I get that calls for violence shouldn’t be tolerated, but it is so one-sided.

Hey friends. After having open heart surgery in Dec and another procedure in July, I've been left in 10k+ debt while recovering. During this, we were also laid off from Skullgirls. To try to help dig myself out, I have begun listing things on eBay: ebay.com/usr/mshinzan

Attended the best birthday party ever

Snoopy’s 75th birthday! Here is his cake and a few photos commemorating it.

The silverware and plating was also themed nicely.

Chef Snoopy, in the flesh. I sat next to him!

The title “Bastard chickens who don’t know how to shut up” for this gachapon got a pretty good chuckle out of me

The poster in the form of a sticker we received as a goody for coming to the screening today!

New shops are opening up all the time too, at least where we live in the Makuhari area, so there is never nothing new to try... but I kind of stick to the same places as well, sometimes, so I get it 🥲
Congrats on the move by the way! Meant to say that a lot earlier!

Eh, it’s a bit alarming for sure, & we’ll see if it gets worse, but I think rn it’s still okay overall. There are crazies on the internet whose voices are loudest, but 99% of ppl aren’t gonna care about you being a foreigner, & in fact, are still very accepting of us, if we’re not complete dickheads

David Miranda 🦊🇨🇴 @dubudavid.bsky.social · 22d

It’s Sony. Even if anyone tried, I doubt it would go anywhere.

I would say anyone who ever gives Crunchyroll money at all is done dirty, but in this case especially so.

David Miranda 🦊🇨🇴 @dubudavid.bsky.social · 22d

Someone will tear them apart soon, I’m sure. My expectations are on the floor.

David Miranda 🦊🇨🇴 @dubudavid.bsky.social · 22d

All signs point to “we lost everything after the merger and had to start over from scratch” but they’re not transparent enough to actually admit that.
That said, this is proof enough of the difference in care and quality of a company that gives a damn VS… what people unfortunately ended up with.

Multiple commentary tracks that were promised were not included, & the whole thing w/the ADV ME tracks was also not included, even after they made an entire post dedicated to having found the materials for em & getting everyone excited. They never stated this stuff would get cut. Awful communication

I’d love for everyone to go ballistic on them ala Disney with Kimmel, but you know only a tiny sliver of a fraction of people who support CR at all even care about Dirty Pair in the slightest…

Losing an entire promised audio track, several commentary tracks, and mixed up disc labels is enough to raise a fuss about. The Dirty Pair Kickstarter fiasco is the gift that keeps on giving, and my shipment is still only processing.

I think what's so frustrating about the Dirty Pair issues for me isn't the mistakes themselves because hey, they happen. Lord knows I've had mistakes slip through before, and things like the disc art switch might not be CR's direct fault, although they should have checked the discs before shipping.

Instead, all they get is a painful reminder of all the money & time & sanity they wasted waiting for this pathetic turd of a set to finally get shit out by a company who clearly doesn’t care like Nozomi did.
All bc a massive corporation decided to eat up the well-meaning little guy. Fucking typical.

This is just so sad. Hundreds of thousands were raised on what essentially is the lowest effort release they could possibly muster. As a disc author I can immediately tell they rushed the authoring, or just didn’t give a shit.
This was supposed to be a celebration and a labor of love for fans.

And possibly the most heinous of all…
4. 2 DISC LABELS WERE SWAPPED & PLAY THE OTHER’S CONTENT
Now, to be entirely fair, this could be on the replicator and not CR, but regardless, what a salt to the wound. It’s like the fans are being insulted or spat in the face at this point with that shit.
