Its really unfortunate that the ml admins are the way they are. Too bad there cant be a mass mod message sent as a DM to subscribers telling them where to move to. That make sit tedious and can make those left behind feel lost. But I guess if enough move over and the anime community that is more social than this one gets bigger maybe itll be easier to find? Who knows.
I was only here because it was the first search result a while back.
ml admins hate anime and don’t want it on their instance. Simple as that.
There is a lot of anti-anime hatred lately, especially on social media like Lemmy, Reddit, and Twitter. With more popularity comes more haters, par for the course really.
It may be better to move to an anime focused instance, but thats what most instance owners want. They dont want CSAM but they also dont want anime in general, so they can just claim they’re the same thing and get rid of both.
Whether it is accurate or not is not important. The context of the religious imagery and content in Evangelion is purely for aesthetics.
This is kind of an odd question. Everyone will be biased to what they like themselves, but if I have learned anything lately its that the good stuff you think would make tons of money gets locked away forever, and the same mainstream normie stuff is what gets pushed hard and the normies keep buying it up.
No Appleseed, no Bubblegum Crisis, no Perfect Blue, no Silent Mobius, no Record of Lodoss War, none of the good stuff like those.
At this point, those IPs have next to zero brand recognition, and the companies that own them see them as too high risk to be worth doing anything new with them other than whatever is legally minimally required to keep the IP and trademarks from becoming public domain. Either that, or they make a live action remake that turns out to be worse than ExARM’s animation quality.
Personally, I haven’t had many issues with subtitles on Crunchyroll, but there are a few issues I have had with Crunchyroll in general that are annoying.
Localization changes. This isn’t specific to the app, but its really annoying when an anime localizer changes the dialogue to match their personal politics instead of just translating what the original anime creators intended whether the localizer agrees with it or not. In some cases this is understandable, such as when some pop culture or political joke is made that cannot be understood in a different culture, so swapping that out for a suitable replacement joke or reference is fine. But when entire lines are changed in a scene that drastically alter a character’s personality or motives, that’s a problem. This translation is sometimes also used as the subtitle text, which means sometimes subs are inaccurate because of a localizers personal politics. This has happened with many localizers in the past, but Crunchyroll seems to accumulate these bad changes more than others.
Some content is not available on one platform, but it is on a different platform even within the same region. For example, Bubblegum Crisis is not available on the Android TV app, but it is available on the Xbox Series X app, within the same home. I don’t know if that is a bug or an oversight, but it is pretty annoying.
Well it makes sense, since Funimation was absorbed into Crunchyroll. I am surprised that Funimation streaming atill exists.
Evangelion is not Christian, and makes no commentary on religion. The only connection Eva has with religion is that Anno wanted exotic sounding terms, and he borrowed them from Chritianity and Judaism, among a few others. Literally the whole reason there is religious imagery is because Anno “thought it looked cool.”
Seeing this makes me wish Heaven’s Lost Property got a Season 3 instead of the Eternal My Master movie even more than I did before.
Yeah, honestly the apps suck. Some shows are not available on Mobile or the TV app, but are available in the Xbox app.
Cant download probably in an effort to prevent you from getting a free 1 week trial and downloading all the shows for free.
Lemmy users are typically very anti-anything other than Linux/Firefox, so this probably won’t be well received here.
Its your wedding, you dont have to spend money on things you don’t want. Courthouse weddings happen often and are very low cost.
It pains me to see the stainless steel finish covered up like this.
Nearly every person in South California, which is an incredibly high density of population? The entire bottom half of California is practically a desert, literally home to one of the hottest deserts in the entire planet the Mojave which contains the appropriately named Death Valley.
How about the people that live in parts of Arizona, Nevada, Utah, much of southern Texas, and New Mexico? And thats just in the United States. What about people in other continents like Africa and Asia? Large areas of those continents contain entire countries whose borders never leave desert or hills and mountains. Nearly the entire Middle East and top half of Africa is desert. A large part of Australia is desert, its like more than 50% of the continent. 1/5 of the entire land area of Earth is a desert.
Yes, that would help, but that would require major reworking of large areas. Additionally, having a large density of population all living on top of each other presents its own unique problems.
Really, its a situation where different people and places need different solutions. Some can use public transport and bicycles, and some cannot. And unless the Earths population becomes so large that every square inch of the planet is as dense as a place like Kowloon, cars will continue to fill a use that bicycles and public transport can never fill.
E-bikes still have a massive carbon footprint compared to regular bicycles, and the battery efficiency is very adversely effected by high heat (deserts) and low heat (snow) .
Either way, a car, even if its an EV, will be the better pick for every situation I stated above.
You picked a subcompact car, rather than a vehicle that any person with more than one braincell would pick for moving furniture, such as a truck.
You 100% will have a better time doing everything else I said in even a subcompact like the Polo than a bicycle.
Bikes sound like a great idea until you decide to live in the hills/mountains, or a place where it rains/snows often, or you need to buy more than 4 bags of groceries, or you live in a desert, or you are moving furniture.
I don’t know exactly the correlation, since it seems to be all over. News, entertainment, and other even niche communities have a lot of politically motivated content that gets posted that is not just silly memes or factual reporting, or on-topic discussion.
Yeah, I saw the communist stuff too. But I set filters early on that hide content by keyword in Connect for Lemmy, which is what I typically use for browsing. I filter all content mentioning pretty much anything political and a few other subjects, but a lot of content still gets through because it doesnt trigger the keyword detection. The filters really helped to hide all that stuff early on, so it hasnt been as bad as when I first joined, but things still get through pretty often. So now I just block users that post that stuff, since users will typically post more similar content.
This art style reminds me of Claymore.
