Auto-translate feels like releasing invasive species into Japan. I saw a Japanese threatening a Russian by pirating Dostoevsky, only for the Russian to reply with a pirate site and some book recommendations. They have no natural defenses against these people. RIP the ecosystem.

I will continue to pirate anime and there isn’t a damn tning they can do about it
But what about the companyyyy 👉👈
Go play with a rag in the street, sweaty
Same with Korea manga/Manhua. Amazing how upset they are that people aren’t paying for their terrible official translations while also needing to wait 6m to 1yr + to have the privilege of being able to buy then. And maybe triple that to get it in free to read on official sites
The official translations of manga/manhwa usually are very much done for an American audience and kills a lot of nuance in the process (very stark differences, e.g, USD rather than won or yen; there are usually no analogous words for ‘calling’ words). The fan/unofficial translations are usually great, sometimes with an extra page or two by the translator explaining the context for non - native people.
