Dude, the fights with Sosuke Ikematsu rule. I really wish he’d been given the opportunity to wild out like that in Shin Rider.

Similarly, I’ll be curious to see how I feel about Galilei Donna once it hits my mailbox.

Now I’m thinking about how I use my PS5 as a Blu-ray player more than a game system…

Same here. Absolutely love how the picture looked while playing Street Fighter 2 and Cagliostro.

Then again, I got mine back before the price hikes with tones of deals thrown on.

Question that came to mind.

You said that Baby Assassins wasn’t your bag of cats, but did you watch the third one?

That’s one that’s got the most Russell sauce me thinks

It's eerie seeing things we all kinda knew were coming actually come to pass, but I hope this continued discussion encourages people, rather than discourages them.

I'm glad so many are using their voices to condemn AI performances. Even when it's Amazon, you, me, we all have power as consumers.

It’s upsetting that there’s also a wide swathe of viewers who won’t bat an eye at this.

I’m glad folks in the know are sounding the alarms, but I also realize that we’re in a degree of a niche.

Not trying to be doomer about it, just observations from my own life and others.

Not to mention that there’s already plenty of work that needs to be done in order to improve working conditions and pay across the board.

and to be clear: when I say 'production companies' i'm not talking just amazon, crunchyroll, netflix, etc. etc. I'm talking Aniplex, Toho, Toei, etc. Those guys would LOVE to never hire actors, animators, writers, the whole package, ever again. theyd do it in a second if they thought it'd work!!

the underlying idea-- and we're seeing it in every creative-driven field that AI tools are ruining the absolute shit out of-- is that art can be automated or replaced, but somehow the commerce that results at the end of the chain is sacrosact and must continue. i dont think thats gonna work...
