    Crunchyroll and the use of AI in anime subtitles

    As someone who has tinkered with Whisper Desktop quite a bit to test auto transcription and translation for work (mainly on commercials and alike), I would say that if that's anything to go on then we are certainly not on that level yet with high-context languages like Japanese or Chinese. Most...

    Fate Series Thread - Discussion and Guide

    Hard agree. There are so, so many potential narratives hidden in the shared universe that could be amazing yet have nothing to do with servants (or, to be fair, even vampires).

    Fate Series Thread - Discussion and Guide

    From what I read, Traum, Lostbelt 7 or Ordeal Call aren't considered awful or anything like that. It's more like I get the feeling that Nasu and Takeuchi kinda want to leave FGO behind, at least for a while. There is that interview when Nasu said that while FGO once felt like an exhilarating...

    Somewhat pleased to see I am not the only one who found both Christmas events lackluster. The first one (the main Christmas event) was over before it began and the second one - Tunguska Sanctuary - was a disappointment of epic proportions for me. Kinda wonder if it was around the time that this...

    UK Anime Christmas Sales for 2023 [Anime Ltd's 12 Days of Xmas + More]

    Nice. Any info which time it starts?

    The News Thread (for news that does not need a thread)

    Considering that the opening credits has been revealed recently, I will do a 180 and say that chances are in the "in the 90% neighborhood" that it will be added to databases like MAL sooner or later. So that's cool for those who want to have it in those places.

    The News Thread (for news that does not need a thread)

    Certainly. And you do you when it comes to what you think is anime or not. The term is vague as it is, with some refusing to call something like Crayon Shin-san "anime" while on the other hand defending Avatar as being one. Besides, I agree on the fact that whether or not something is anime is...

    Gacha Games Thread

    Yeah, I tend to avoid summer ones, thankfully. That said I read that summer Kama supposedly really good, so I wish you luck in getting her! Yeah, next summer seems wild. I rather like to get Arc then so I probably gonna save up a bit for then. Yeah, I managed to do all the challenge quests...

    The News Thread (for news that does not need a thread)

    I would say that the likelihood is in the 90% neighborhood of it not being added to databases like MAL. While the information is light at the moment (I believe?), there is very little Japanese names being thrown around, which suggests a more "outsourcing" type of relationship and MAL (& other...

    Gacha Games Thread

    I do sympathise with your quest for a 5* archer as it took me forever to get a golden rider. It was not until the Lostbelts that I got my first and while I certainly got by through support, eventually it just becomes bothersome with two or three SSR + a couple of SR sabers yet zero gold riders...

    Gacha Games Thread

    Managed to get Gil, so now I'm an official mongrel. Cool with Shuten Douji, wouldn't mind getting her either. You're correct about the gacha playing mindgames. After having finished LB6, I spent nearly all my SQ trying to get Barghest or Morgan only to end up with 4* ce at most. So did the...

    Fate Series Thread - Discussion and Guide

    Feel free to share your thoughts once you're done. Probably could trade our takes and opinions of it afterward, if you're up for it ofc. I can imagine that since I found the improvement between OG Tsukihime and FSN pretty big as well. Might have been the choices I made but I recall having to...

    Gacha Games Thread

    The ascension materials are available for the welfare, it is more like you cannot buy like "Evil Bone" or such, which I assumed was available when the interlude was properly running (though that's an assumption on my part that you could buy additional stuff in the shop like other events). As...

    Gacha Games Thread

    Yes. I mean he is not all that impressive but I like his character so much so that is like a major win in itself. You do get all the stuff from interludes that are availible in the Rare prism shop except for ascension materials in the interlude shop I believe. You definitely get the welfare...

    Yeah, Sitonai is the only one of the "permanent" story summons that I still want now that I got Drake. So next time she's rate up I am probably gonna pull for her. Yeah, her kit is okay and fine if you need a support caster, but everything else is just weak and boring. Weak attack. Boring...
