Stop rating this low just because of the subs

the 2d is fine but the 3d is meh and plot wise is the most unoriginal anime of the year

Masterpiece! this is already better than half a dozen generic isekai/fantasy animes available every season.

Considering the huge amount of shitty farleft translators who deserve to lose their jobs, this deserves a 10 solely for using machine subs. The amount of Japanese original audio that I can't get in my region legitimately because it has no 'licensed' subtitles makes this even more important.

This is not AI btw, just bad machine translation. AI does a way better job at translating with context, it just need a bit of quality control.

@blackaccelerator I don't know how to break this down to you, but not only is machine translation AI, AI translation is still absolutely shit to the point of being unwatchable.

You kidding me? The 3D style is simple and nothing extra. I'd expect something better IF they absolutely need to use CGI that is...


Moreover the starting scene with store job was useleess so far. Why was it there? There are tons of other ways to introduce the girl as a Vtuber.

The anime is a basicaly a bad mix of Mayonaka Punch (unsuccesfull Vtuber), Squid Game and the main girl gives Ryuuko vibes.

There is nothing much original except her pun name.

Then there some devil senate appears and the 7 alive players are begged to save the oprld from them.

This all is pretty niché and incosistent.

Its not crunchyroll sub are provided by cygames so if you want to blame someone blame the right person. Its the same thing as yukuzi family of four and nekotan(sub here we're provided by remow).

You’re buggin 😭

@Otakupervert890 Hi can you please explain further? I'm an (ex) Italian fansubbed so this thing is very interesting to me I see that Cygames is a Japanese videogame developing company, how is it related to CR? How those the subs outsourcing works?
Thank you.

The way you seem to think you're correct while being completely wrong about many different things at once is so adorable 🥰

How long do you have to wait for an actual sub?

@KANLen09 so the subs people are so upset about got replaced? That would explain why I did not find any issues with them

@Adizcool Machine translations like DeepL are NMTs, which is not exactly 'AI' as they're not from a large generalist model like the multiple LLMs, those have quite good translations, they just take a lot of processing power and time. DeepL and Whisper still can get quite decent translations when using their large models, so I doubt those were used here. And again, even those get decent with a little bit of quality control, way better than some crazy translator who completely changes meanings and makes some series unwatchable.

@szRiver Why would you get triggered for no reason in a thread about a bad anime? Are you a farleft translator who deserves to lose their job? Times are changing. If you're only upset because you identify with 'farleft,' then it's time to grow up. The political spectrum is too broad to align yourself with genocide, dictators, or terrorists. Good luck.

My main issue was the animation rather than the subs.
The art direction was okay but character animation feels super cheap and stiff, plus the plot doesn't seem all that interesting early on.

I'd probably give it 5/10 on first impressions so the almost 6 score is generous.

@blackaccelerator


The only feasible way someone could arrive at this belief is daily consumption of right-wing grift commentary as though their life depends on it. It's pretty fascinating how easily it is to captivate the dumbest people with the most moronic propaganda.

@blackaccelerator Once again, NMTs are AIs. The LLMs that are all the craze currently are just one branch of AI, these older machine translators are usually some form of RNNs which come under artificial intelligence. The entire branch of machine learning, which is how computers translate anything at all, is all artificial intelligence. From the screenshots being passed around, it looks like the team used ChatGPT or something similar for their translations and every sane person can agree that those subs are completely incomprehensible.

Also, you say that AI is better than "farleft" translators who ruin anime, but not only have I never seen a single anime losing audience because of what you claim to be a huge number of such translators, the bigger irony is that if this anime had used normal translators for subs, more people could have given it a chance. The only news this show is making is regarding its horrible subs which is just pushing prospective viewers away, so ironically it looks like it was really the AI translations that killed the anime off.

@lawlies1234 Propaganda? What do you believe the word far-left means? The world is not the US, there's a extremely large difference between being a democrat who supports progessivism, which is absolutely fine, and the far-left crazies that somehow infiltrated the translation roles. If you're unaware of the problem, don't partake in the discussion.

@blackaccelerator


...what? Brother, you equated leftism — far-leftism, if you want to be pedantic — in commonality with genocides, dictators, and terrorism. These things are predominantly right-leaning in accordance with conservatist values. Now, you're pivoting back to the false notion that either overcorrections or mistranslations are all a result of far-left woke fascism overtaking the anime and manga industry? Once again, to arrive at this you either have to be slurping down the commentary of right-wing grifters, lacking intellect, or both.

edit: a word

@lawlies1234 You have no idea what any of those 'isms' means. If you want to be pedantic, far-left and far-right are exactly the same thing, no individual and no market freedoms. If it's conservatism or progressivism is absolutely irrelevant.
Yes, overcorrections or mistranslations are all a result of far-left woke whateverism overtaking the anime and manga industry, like every other major industry in the last 15 years. Were you living under a rock?

@burakkuakuseru

Horseshoe theory isn't real. Have fun in your continual attempt to square every circle you come across and in your endeavor to rid the translation industry of its non-existent white whale, I guess.

Only this season I counted 5 animes that by the pv and original material tell me to be more of a generic and repetitive work, only 2 stand out but barely, do you really prefer works of this type that you find released year after year instead of anime that are different from the common? The anime market is currently saturated with fantasy/isekai works being released because that is what the majority of the public wants and someone who has watched anime for many years like me is looking for different things, there are thousands of mangas and novels with great stories and that do not need to be generic to attract the public but that until today have not received an adaptation and instead we have this amount of standardized bad works that receive low grades, these animes below (from this season) are the ones that I consider the best option for those who think like me. Hikaru ga Shinda Natsu, Gachiakuta, New Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt, Onmyou Kaiten Re:Birth, Karaoke Iko!, Ginga Tokkyuu Milky☆Subway, Osomatsu-san, Yofukashi no Uta among others...

@ReMightyRon Every time someone complains about generalised isekai or fantasy, somewhere in the world Frieren and Dungeon Meshi become sad. Especially if these people simply have problems with time management and just watch everything.

@RobertBobert To be fair neither Frieren nor Dungeon Meshi are actually Isekai; they're fantasy outings deeply inspired by D&D (Directly or just by being post-Gygax), which is a trait shared with most Isekais, but they don't use the big trope and, for that matter, neither of them use the "Game stats are real conceit" that underscores a lot of the more reprocessed fantasies (Isekai or not).

Every culture and era has had its junk food media; the category that was there and then milked harder than an entire dairy farm, usually turning out cheap crap into which little effort or care was put because people would eat it up. Right now in Anime, that does seem to be the "Isekai and/or Fantasy" cohort. And like every other genre or subgenre that's been the money printer, there are doubtless some examples that are truly excellent, it's just that we get enough bad ones that Sturgeon's Law starts to look generous for the category.

Lmao then explain why that goofy ass animated show Orb gor 8.71 score on MAL then

@lawlies1234 There's no need summer child, I take pride in being morally correct. Do whatever you want with your life, it will not influence the changes for the better that happens every day in this world, nor the reality that big authoritarian governments are exactly the same whatever their political spectrum may be. And yet again, you're using a word incorrectly, learn what "white whale" means, or are you not a native English speaker as well?
