∟Episode 6 in particular is drawing a lot of ire
   ∟It is the lowest rated anime episode of the year
      ∟And this is a year that broke records with Demon Slayer and Chainsaw Man
      ∟Even Velma is beating it
         ∟Apparently there is a color worse than red
            ∟This is a Game of Thrones-level drop-off
               ∟Even Dragon Ball Evolution is beating it
                  ∟And it just keeps on dropping
                  ∟Meanwhile, My Hero Academia sits on the opposite end of the spectrum
                     ∟Its current rating
                        ∟The amount of animation is so low that you can basically watch the episode via screenshots
                           ∟Meanwhile, Uma Musume has 24fps animation
∟People are taking issue with the color palette
   ∟Say no to standard coloring
      ∟What’s weird is that it is apparently happening after the fact
         ∟It doesn’t appear to be in any of the TVs
            ∟King apparently can’t wear a plaid shirt either
               ∟The underwhelmed rainbow glow
∟The lack of effort borders on censorship at times
   ∟The color palette may even be an excuse not to draw backgrounds
      ∟The quality is so low we can actually predict the shots
∟This could even be considered neutering
   ∟The soul is just not there
      ∟Though they are using an edited image in the comparison
         ∟This is the real image
            ∟Some people were motivated enough to do it themselves
               ∟Sadly, it’s not even the most egregious part of the scene
∟People want them to just start over with a new studio
   ∟Or at least cancel it
      ∟I’m not really seeing the problem
   ∟The lack of animation is especially painful for manga readers
      ∟Captain Mizuki’s censorship is also painful for manga readers
         ∟Apparently the censorship is worth the animators’ time
            ∟Sometimes they forget though
∟They can’t seem to get anything right
   ∟Even cutting off their artwork
      ∟A closeup
∟When compared to Murata’s artwork, everything is a letdown
   ∟People are pointing out that even Season 1 is a letdown
∟Some are claiming that Season 3 is using Season 1 materials to promote it
∟Good luck to whoever gets Season 4
∟The fan animations are blowing the official art out of the water
   ∟The fan edits look incredible
      ∟But don’t forget the color palette
         ∟Absolute Cinema
∟The actual animators are not happy either
   ∟His full statement

– Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End Season 2 Anime Previews milet Ending Song in New Trailer
∟Frieren looking up is an art form
   ∟Its meme status was boosted by the theft title
      ∟People are recreating it in Blender
      ∟People are recreating it in espresso
      ∟People are recreating it in pixel art
         ∟Sometimes really well
            ∟Sometimes too well
   ∟A compilation of the artwork
      ∟Another compilation of the artwork
         ∟The stragglers we otherwise would not cover
   ∟Finally, a worthy companion to Sasuke
      ∟Perfection
   ∟Animators attempt to draw the Frieren angle
   ∟Art teachers are now using it in their lessons
      ∟Advice for how to do it
         ∟The right way and the wrong way
            ∟Someone animated it from the wrong way to the right way
   ∟Frieren at the beach
   ∟Another sketch
   ∟More detailed Frieren meme
      ∟Higher fidelity Frieren meme
   ∟Some people are just showing off
   ∟Some less talented individuals are trying their best
      ∟Some are nightmare fuel
   ∟People try to fix it by drawing a different angle
      ∟They’re not even trying
   ∟Artists actually think AI artists are being left out of the meme
      ∟Even the RuneScape community got in on it
         ∟Even the Clippers community are in on it
            ∟Even KFC is in on it
      ∟It’s gotten to the point that it is a bit much
   ∟The voice of Frieren used it as her profile picture
   ∟The memes are crossing
      ∟Is being “white” what makes Frieren cute?
      ∟This cosplay is where the black Frieren is coming from
         ∟People are drawing fan art of the black Frieren
            ∟This one guy really wants to demoralize black cosplayers
               ∟A more reasonable take
            ∟Some people are taking a much more brutal approach
               ∟Just when you think it can’t get worse
            ∟People are drawing black Frieren as a trap to advertise their crap
               ∟Too bad the actual “manga” looks like street trash
                  ∟Which wouldn’t be a big deal except that these are the cultural appropriation police
                     ∟Why the whore appropriation, though?

Hi there, 

So they're correct in that reddit post. Originally, Uncensored versions didn't even exist of the shows. Due to some behind the scenes stuff, they were able to take the pixelations off for the Oceanveil Streaming service. The BL never had genitalia, so there's nothing there even if we wanted it. The blu-rays are still uncut, so there are still mosaics there, unless specifically mentioned that it's uncensored. We're working on getting the uncensored versions of the shows for bluray release but it's a long process. We thank you for your support of our little indie company.

– Trump ‘safe and well’ after being targeted by would-be assassin with scoped AK-47 just a few hundred yards away while ex-prez played golf
∟Don Jr. announces it happened again
∟The FBI forces the media to start calling it an assassination attempt
∟The shooter was Ryan Wesley Routh
   ∟Naturally, the news reported he was Republican and idiots believed them
      ∟Hook, line, and sinker
   ∟Here he is meeting with a Biden Appointee
   ∟We all know it was because Trump disrespected Taylor Swift
   ∟He was registered Democrat
      ∟He lied about being a Trump supporter online
         ∟His bio says it all
            ∟Time magazine claims his motives were unclear
               ∟In case you couldn’t see
                  ∟He’s pretty clearly a braindead leftist
   ∟He also allegedly appeared in a Blackrock commercial
      ∟The video was promoting the (Nazi) Azov Battalion
         ∟People are convinced it is not a coincidence
            ∟But it actually isn’t confirmed that Blackrock is attached to it
                     ∟He also got bussed into a Kamala rally 3 days prior
                        ∟Here is the video
   ∟He previously wrote about killing Trump
      ∟He asked Iran to kill Trump
         ∟It almost looks as though he was trying to get America involved in the Ukraine War
            ∟He was seeking Afghan soldiers to fight for Ukraine
   ∟He apparently had a “weapons of mass destruction” charge from 2002
      ∟He was convicted of possessing a machine gun
         ∟So how did he get an AK47?
            ∟It sure looks like he was a federal asset
               ∟When Tulsi Gabbard went up against Kamala they put her on a no-fly list
   ∟The Deep State runs deep
      ∟Sure seems like the CIA is trying to kill Trump
         ∟Alex Jones describes him as CIA trained
   ∟Footage of his arrest raises some questions
      ∟Somehow these homeless shooters always have the fanciest gear
         ∟Did he smuggle it back from Ukraine?
            ∟Feels like Fast & Furious all over again
               ∟Did he mail it to himself somehow?
∟Trump’s golf outing was NOT scheduled
   ∟Why did the news all of a sudden start filming Trump golfing?
      ∟Routh waited 12 hours for his shot at Trump
         ∟He would have had a clear shot of Trump
            ∟Sources say Homeland Security is leaking Trump’s location
               ∟The assassin was cozy with a LOT of (self)important individuals
∟So why do they want to assassinate Trump so badly?
   ∟Is Trump the only President to have survived two attempts?
      ∟Saved again by Shinzo Abe
         ∟His guardian angel
      ∟Vote for the guy the corrupt government wants dead
         ∟After all, they wouldn’t need to assassinate him if he weren’t winning
∟Trump survives attempts on his life better than Biden survives talking
   ∟Can’t touch Trump
      ∟Trump taunts his enemies
∟DeSantis refuses to hand Routh over to the feds
∟Kamala has joked about killing Trump
∟One can’t help but notice the proximity to the debate
   ∟Especially after the last attempt happened right after the debate
      ∟Kamala claimed J6 was worse than 9/11

∟Reminder that when Kameha Con reinvented Vic…
∟She compared Vic to Harvey Weinstein

Hey everyone,

There's been a change in my professional journey that I feel is important to share with you. Firstly, because your encouragement and love over the years mean so much to me, and secondly, because I believe this experience can help others. With that, I regret to inform you that my time as an ADR scriptwriter for Crunchyroll has come to an unexpected end.

This decision came as a surprise to me, and I have sought legal advice to better understand the circumstances. While I can't go into all the details, I want to assure you that I am taking the necessary steps to address the situation.

Let this be a sign to everyone living with a disability especially if yours is invisible like mine-of how crucial it is to understand your rights under the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) and empower yourself to be treated fairly. Despite this setback, I am more committed than ever to continue doing what I love and bringing the characters you cherish to life through voice.

I will also be featuring more content on the ADA and how it can protect you from discrimination. No company is required to be ADA compliant, but they also aren't exempt from the law. As long as you know your rights, you can protect yourself.

Thank you for your unwavering support over the years. Your love and encouragement mean the world to me, and I'm excited to see where this new chapter leads.

Stay tuned for more updates.

Much love,
Leah

Weekly Magazine Report
This time, I, Toru Furuya, have been interviewed by Shukan Bunshun. I would like to apologize and report about the serious sin I have committed.

I had an affair with a female fan for a long period of four years, from September four years ago until last year. At first, I was charmed by her who supported me unconditionally, and I started to contact her on my own initiative.

During our relationship, there was a time when we had an argument and I impulsively raised my hand against her. It was the worst behavior as an adult and as a human being.

Additionally, I committed the unforgivable act of forcing her to have an abortion. I am truly, truly sorry for deeply hurting her both mentally and physically.

I cannot apologize enough for betraying the trust of my long-time fans who have supported me, for disappointing, hurting, and tarnishing my character.

I have betrayed the trust of everyone involved, causing them great inconvenience.

I am prepared to devote the rest of my life to making sincere amends and accepting any punishment.

I am deeply sorry.

Toru Furuya
