These two guys who had massive success with Bling Bang Bang Born and Otonoke are going to be at Coachella tomorrow and they’ll be releasing a new song. Really interesting that it’ll be a mix of their take on hip hop and sexy drill.

“Recently there’s this genre called sexy drill, which I was inspired by. I used a toy piano and warped that sound until it got this strange tone that you’ve never heard before.”

Also I think it’s cool they cite the music of The Blues Brothers. I knew the movie was relatively popular in Japan back in the day but I rarely ever hear about it from Japanese musicians.

I’m an avid collector of manga and danmei, and I think the Media Do acquisition of Seven Seas made me worry about them using AI to translate their stuff. But now people are sending death threats to a translator and staff over their choice to… spell the main characters name?

Feel like we’ve lost the plot. What are your thoughts on translations you don’t agree with?

I find it interesting after what seems like a two week harassment campaign by loud fans, Netflix has made an announcement that I’ve never seen before. I know this subreddit is focused on live action series, but the JJBA anime fans must have forced their hand since even English voice actors were getting harassed and A24 joined the pile on.

Has anyone seen Netflix respond or announce a series like this before? I feel like they either do batch releases or weekly releases.
