So not only were these dogshit AI dubs completely unnecessary, they were *unauthorized*, created by Amazon without the permission of the rights holders.
Holy shit lmao

Kadokawa stated that it did not approve of an AI dub, and Sentai stated that it wasn't aware of the dub beforehand.

So, I'm assuming that, like, "Production and Distribution of a dub" have to be part of a licensing contract so there's a chance that Amazon did this without legal authorization in a way that might be a breach of contract with Kadokawa and is potentially damaging to the real dub rightsholder, Sentai.

Amazon really went and made AI dubs of their shows without approval by the Japanese licensors lmao Their return to anime is somehow even worse than Anime Strike

Wow, I didn't even know that Amazon also put out an AI dub for Vinland Saga too, which is especially unacceptable because there's *two* quality English dubs for Vinland Saga that already exist.

It says a lot about how Bsky liberals are freaking out more about Cory Booker marrying a 38 year old, you know a grown ass adult, and making weird homophobic jokes that he’s secretly gay than they care about Cory Booker being a Zionist.

I've seen Utena a couple of times over the years but series finale spoilers, 1 thing I hadn't noticed about this ending before is Anthy having to make the conscious choice when's she's stepping over where the gates have slid open to leave the academy as opposed to just animating her walking casually

The masked burglar broke into the closed Virginia liquor store early on Saturday and hit the bottom shelf. The bandit was something of a nocturnal menace: bottles were smashed and alcohol pooled on the floor.
The suspect acted like an animal because, in fact, he's a raccoon.
