Seeing OTHER anime being AI dubbed, including shows that have already been dubbed proper by other studios no less (No Game No Life and Dororo via Sentai Filmworks) is such a telling sign of how greedy Amazon is being.
Disrespectful to the creators, clients, studios AND the audience when you use AI.

Holy. SHIT. Like........ WOW... It's so much worse than you'd think. Like, before I hit play, I figured it would just be kind of awkward but... wow...

The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them
A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.

While we're all talking about dubs today, some of y'all could stand to be more vocal whenever there are issues brought up about about accessibility or labor regarding dubs because it feels like a lot of folks only ever get loud about dubs when it involves some translation choice you don't like
Friends, #weebwednesday is upon us once again! You know the drill - quote-post with your weebiest hot takes, nothing racist, nothing intentionally inflammatory, have fun with it ♥

Zootopia screening at El Capitan. At the tiger jump scare, a kid two rows in front of us audibly let it rip and shat his pants, then began to cry. Everyone heard it and smelled it and saw the mother carry him out of the theater. Literally scared the shit out of him.

Dubbing will continue to stagnate until serious time and consideration is given to the pattern of severe undercutting that is prevalent in the industry. Budgets are getting slashed on workers who were already expected to cut corners with low pay. Adapters and translators are your backbone.

EXCLUSIVE: So far it's been unclear what proof Rockstar Games has to justify its firing of 34 union members, who it claims were leaking "confidential information in a public forum".
PMG has now seen some of the messages which contributed to this decision being made.

Stand firm with your fellow actors, no matter the country. If you've received auditions for this, no you haven't. If you've already submitted for this, you're unavailable to accept the job. If you've already accepted the job, you don't want it anymore. If you've already worked it, you quit.
