The fact that it happens at all is honestly baffling though. The anti-woke crowd absolutely plays it up (or more likely just gets fed sensationalized headlines and never verifies them) beyond its actual scope, but mostly it’s just the crown on top of a lot of general low quality localization. Which isn’t even necessarily the localizers fault, as from what I know they were often overworked and had very little time to translate, or were missing the visual context.

The recent scandal with the game yunyun syndrome is the worst I know of, but I vaguely recall some obviously politically motivated changes in meaning in anime subs. It’s not made up, but it’s really just one particular expression of a wider issue with tl quality.

As someone only vaguely familiar (I watch some vtubers, but didn’t pick up on much direct parody other than genital jousting, just that one of the other vtubers reminded me a lot of ookami mio (was that her name lol) and my closest thought about MC was that the dichotomy reminded me of what I know about haachama), I thought it was pretty hilarious in a “i should drunk watch this with a friend and have the greatest time” kinda way. To me it was mostly stupid sex humor and sometimes that’s just all I want.

It’s good enough that I’m actually looking forward to this, and was very much hoping there would be more seasons. It’s not anything groundbreaking but it tells the arknights story well, and that story is a pretty good one.

Well, it is as much slice of life travel romance as it is medieval economical drama, so the story overall is relatively slow paced. The pacing usually picks up at the end of each smaller story arc though (which is mostly the end of each LN volume, which iirc the original anime covered 3.5 of in 25 episodes). Assuming similar pacing I’d guess 4-5 eps in you should know if you’re interested. The very start is imo still a bit more slow paced than the rest of it, but it’s rarely fast, with the character development happening just as slowly.

Mostly annoying, largely because it looks very stuttery to me. When it’s integrated seemlessly, it’s fine (more often the case for background related cgi). Even in something like chainsaw man which did it pretty well I still found the cgi in the action scenes grating, it took me out of it a little.

Full cgi i mostly get annoyed at the stutter, and I like the style most full cgi anime have a lot less than most 2D anime.
