Atsuko Ishida's character designs for the Ranma OAVs (and for pretty much every other show she did, in fact) were absolute peak.

Can't get over how they changed female Ranma's eye color in the remake though.

The studio I work at doesn't use AI in any of its ADR workflows nor wishes to. But the FOMO is real.

Clients we lose to AI don't expect “good.” They expect “good enough” that you won't complain... much.

How this all goes depends on fans being crystal clear that AI slop will never be "good enough."

Nope, it's still active.

Try opening a terminal window and run:

sudo xattr -rc /path/to/filename.app

Jeez. Good catch. Didn't know the JPN version had sub & dub. Now you've got me wanting to hunt down a copy.

There's a less fancy BD set still available for import from across the pond, but... it's Region B.

I'm aware. "Out of print" doesn't count of available though.

Such a traffic flood would cause your site to start timing out for some users, as you're seeing. Switching providers might not save you, if that's the case.

An old forum I was a member of (akin to 910cmx.com) has been hugely struggling to cope with sporadic AI indexer traffic lately, for example.

I've never had issues with your site (though I'm in SoCal and your site appears Arizona based, so it rightly should be quick for me.)

Does your site's service provider give traffic insights? Check them over. AI indexers have been causing DDoS-like havoc lately.
