2006 anime, no official EN release. Found it from an AMV I stumbled upon ~2 years ago.

Kanopy is amazing!!! Their selection of The Great Courses is amazing and is the perfect "let me listen to this lecture as I drift off to sleep" show.
Reminder that not only do library systems have physical media (& many also lend tools, electronics etc), your library card may give you access to streamers Kanopy and Hoopla. We just watched Francis Ford Coppola’s adaptation of The Rainmaker via a hoopla the other night. Pretty good!

The biggest tragedy to happen to movies in the past decade was the hollowing out of the indies. For all the “democratization” that cheap digital cameras and laptop post production teased, it largely didn’t happen. The young chased lower effort YouTube content. Movies stayed needlessly expensive.

Netflix buying WB terrifies me, but there's a chance they're not full of shit about continuing theatrical and other legacy businesses.
Neo-Paramount is VERY untested and early indications see them veering towards dude-bro crap. They could crash.
WB by itself was over, we need to accept that.

I really wish there was a bigger market for less-gonzo Japanese movies. Dramas. Period pieces. Comedies. There are so many great ones that I know would just land with a thud because there’s no good marketing hook. Discoverability is the big problem here.

also the next guy will have to do it. and the next guy. basically you have created the translation equivalent of a curse upon your bloodline
this is more translation adjacent but if as translator or adapter you write a particular speech quirk for a major character you will have to continue writing every single line of theirs that way for the entire rest of the thing. plan accordingly
To my fellow translators: what do you wish someone had taught you about translation (whether the act or translation or having a freelance job) that you had to learn by yourself?
