>>74720 Great point! I would love to do that, but unfortunately apparently regex for word replacement would be very compute intensive and also lead to security concerns? iirc. So basic 1:1 replacement is all I can do right now... >>74796 You could try making one of those threads, I think this thread should be focused on, say, if you have a problem you want to bring up.

>>74899 I don't use cloudflare for my things anyway. The problem is that "everyone" is using it. >'bis Helps against bots, crawlers, spam - but doesn't address actual DDoS. Tell me if I'm wrong. Your actual application might not get these requests, but that doesn't stop anyone from opening new connections. I'd guess that that would hit 'bis and the ingress. But it can replace some other cloudflare functions. Not sure what you can do other than having the hardware to deal with everything yourself (become your own DDoS protection) or rate limiting and your site becoming unusable until the attack is over. You may be able to mitigate things a bit by blocking ips that fail your challenges for a while, but even dropping packets will be a strain on your hardware if it's too many. >use her Is she confirmed a she? If yes, she could be a bit more cute and funny, desu.
>>74901 >Tell me if I'm wrong You're right, anon. I was just funposting. Of course Anubis can't protect against actual DDoS (TCP/UDP flood etc). The server has to process every incoming packet at least up to network layer, which will consume cpu time.

Bocchi the Rock! Anonymous 12/17/2022 (Sat) 19:39:50 No. 1615 [Reply] [Last]
Anyone been watching this anime? It's actually kinda enjoyable. Basically the story is about an introvert who picks up the guitar after being upset that she never made friends in middle school and is dragged into a high school band by pure chance. Honestly, I think the anime has a lot of charm and I'm looking forward to seeing if a season 2 will ever be made or if I'll start the manga next week ater the final episode airs. What do you think about Bocchi the Rock anons? cute band story? shitty K-On rip off? You decide!

(3.29 MB 2560x1440 Screenshot (7061).png)

>>74933 It ultimately depends on your taste, personally i would consider both Pnm manga good/average. But bear in mind that they are shorter than 10 chapters, so it's really hard to accurately judge their enjoyability. The semi-ecchi version is considerable better than the Shoujo version; i'd implore you to read the former first though.

Post about a series that you just finished Anonymous 07/29/2020 (Wed) 17:37:30 No. 181 [Reply] [Last]
Time to make this thread again. Here's an archive of the last thread on 8kunt: https://archive.vn/EAtrt So, I decided to drop UFO Senshi Dai Apolon after 17 episodes. It's not a bad series, it's okay, but I just grew bored with the show. The premise is that Takeshi is the prince of a planet that was conquered by the Dazaan Army, and was sent to Earth as a baby in order to ensure his survival. He then grows up in an orphanage, and gains a passion for American football while living there. Then, on his 16th birthday, he is struck by a meteor that imbues him with the Key Energy power that his planet's people had developed as their "ultimate weapon". Takeshi and his friends are then abducted by his guardian, Rabi, who informs him of his origin and gives him and his friends a giant robot, Dai Apolon, and several UFOs in order to fight off the Dazaan Army and protect the Key Energy that now reside within Takeshi. The rest of the series then details the Dazaan Army's various attempts to gain the Key Energy along with trying to figure out the true identity Dai Apolon's pilot. The series boils down to three different episode were something effects the "UFO Boy Scouts" on a personal level, some outsider gets involved in the fights, or the leaders of the Dazaan Army are trying out one of their various "just created" super-weapons to defeat Dai Apolon. It's pretty formulaic, and it just feels like an attempt to sell toys. There are some moments in the series were it does decide to get a little bit more "mature" with it's premise as innocent people are dying during some of the episodes, but it feels like it's there just to be there and show how "evil" the villains are (As if mass genocide and enslavement across the galaxy wasn't reason enough). And, the show never really moves beyond that. There are a few times were the Dazaans do some espionage and end up kidnapping the wrong people thinking they have times to Dai Apolon, along with some general rivalries and tensions taking place within the various generals of the Dazaan Army, but it never really moves beyond that or does anything unique with it. As for the animation, the art is fine but the show feels very stilted and limited in it's animation. And, with the audio, there really isn't much music to speak of, the sound effects are great, but all the voices sound like the characters are always shouting no matter what they say. Overall, I wasn't really that impressed with UFO Senshi Dai Apolon. Like I said, it isn't a bad series, but I just grew too bored with it to the point that I didn't care about finishing it off.

>>74723 Im up in the air about picking up the manga myself, ive read some of it many years ago but not where the real differences between it and the OVA show. I get the feeling ill get the same reaction from it as i did with Armitage III when i read that, some tonal whiplash. As far as the OVA goes obviously i saw the dub first way back in the roaring 90s, unlike many i dont have any issue with it or the differences and could watch it subbed or dubbed. I wasnt a fan of what i saw of that newer bluray release, made Angel look like an old lady with her grey hair from them color changes.
Finally watched Blue Submarine No 6. And I have to say. It's kind of gay. Yes, revenge cycle bad. But maybe don't kill billions of people and start a war because "aw my family is dead". Any moral Zorndyke was trying to teach about breaking revenge cycles falls on deaf ears when he intentionally starts the worst one in history because he's depressed. And making peace with the fish people isn't going to stop wars from happening in the future either. Animation is lovely though, Mutio is hot, and that ending song is pure sex. I don't have any Mutio pics yet, so here're some fish girls by Tama Go Shi

>>74808 >A more precise claim would be that all bad English translations of anime are bad because of american biases in general Did you know that in 1942, a BRITISH gentleman by the name of Arthur Waley introduced the West to very FIRST English translation of the Chinese novel Journey To The West (The story that Dragon Ball is initially based on)? Do you want to know how the guy did it: he remove all the story's poetry and 70% of the chapters. And the guy won an award for his "excellent" translation work. Do you want to try that claim again? >and religion is a significant subset of those biases You still haven't posted an example of a work being butched in the name of pushing "Christian religious virtues". >But since it's been around for hundreds of years as an excuse to butcher native cultures Can you actually post an example of what you're talking about, of this practice going back "hundreds of years"? The "earliest" examples I've read of translators intentionally butchering foreign stories to make them more "palatable" for Westerners all stem from people holding high esteem for Arthur Waley (Again, an ENGLISH scholar, who's received numerous British honors), who "translated" majority of the significant historical works of China and Japan from the 1910's to the 1960's. And leaving his protegees like Donald Keene grasping at straws for "untranslated works" of significant historical value. Outside of that, you find many translations dating as far back the Ancient Greeks being as literal as possible. >I won't provide you a screenshot of it So you have no proof. Much more, an actual fucking example of a translation being butchered for the purposes of pushing the Christian religion, like you initially implied when you started this entire argument.

>>74808 >As if it's a fucking knight or a military officer. <Sir, which is commonly used in polite conversation with a man you're not overly familiar with I call dozens of people "sir" and "ma'am" a day without any regard to anything military, nor was I even raised in a strict family. Not even my dad wanted me to call him sir. Anyone working customer service does as well. Sir and ma'am are perfectly fine words to use in place of the usual -san honorifics in most cases involving strangers. However I do strongly prefer to just keep honorifics intact since it can cause trouble to not use them everywhere when the less easily translated ones appear. This is bait. In fact, you're probably reddit spacing on purpose just as part of the act. Pretend any harder and you may just become genuinely retarded. Good luck. I believe in you. >>74816 >Hey, go fuck yourself. Talking to you would be like arguing with ChatGPT. Learn to be like >>74749 (You) at least, then you can hope for a proper conversation. Funny you're upset that he's less polite than me. This is an imageboard, grow some fucking skin, nigger. Furthermore, you said something so mind numbingly retarded, I've lost any personal preference for being polite, and am half convinced you're being retarded on purpose. >Pic Finally an ounce of an argument, maybe, possibly. The use of the word amen stands out to me. This particular image is popular on Reddit as an example of bad translation. First off, this character is a demon, in a story with western style angels and demons. So of all the possible examples you've chosen to post of Christianity being pushed, sans the original text, you've posted one that's most likely to potentially make sense given the context of the show. Of all the possible examples you chose one from a show that is already specifically and explicitly about a version of Abrahamic religion. In which case, the insertion of a phrase like amen may be less attributable to any intentional forcing of Christianity than to the simple negligence and disrespect for source material that plagues the industry in general, and Abrahamic religion merely being topical in this case. Furthermore, it's inserted in a place where the demonic character is the one praying to an "evil" deity, something you'd see anti-Christians embrace and push because "lol, saying 'praise Satan' is funneh". As I said before, the thing you're taking issue with, where you originally opened with it being one of the most common things in the world, seems to be exceedingly rare. The only example you've come up with, even if it is, and it probably is, an outright bad translation, still only questionably supports your argument at best. An argument you've had to backpedal to the much more universally agreed upon "American translators are shit" since you can't find hide nor hair of evidence to support it. As a bonus here's another very concrete example of both "anti-American" and anti-Christian translation. What the other anon and I are talking about, is actual knowing negligence, and malfeasance. Not just less concretely provable unconscious bias. You're over here concerned about this exceedingly rare case of Christianity showing up where it shouldn't due to a translator not re-evaluting themselves on the job. Most of the rest of people you'll encounter on this site mad bad translations are concerned about translators explicitly and knowingly replacing text with things that are wrong, either because they simply don't care about being professional whatsoever, or they are actively pushing a clear agenda. You're making mountains out of molehills while an actual avalanche is happening right behind you.

Felt the thread needed one. Starting with some amusing news. No Game No Life Creator Fires Back At Western Reader Bitching About No Dark-Skinned Characters https://boundingintocomics.com/2023/03/09/no-game-no-life-creator-fires-back-after-western-reader-criticizes-series-lack-of-dark-skinned-characters/ >Yet, despite the game taking place in a fully fictional country, a Western reader unsurprisingly took issue with the fact that Disboard did not exactly parallel real-world history. >On March 2nd, Kamiya took to Twitter to reveal that they had recently “received a scolding DM from a foreign reader who said ‘There were brown-skinned people in medeival and early modern Europe, why don’t they appear in your work?'” >Responding directly to this accusation, the Brazillian-Japanese creator declared, “First of all Disboard is not in Europe.” >“Were there furry ears or elves in medieval Europe?,” he added before noting “Also, there are usually brown-skinned characters.” >It should be noted that one of the sixteen different sentient races who have a seat at the table of Disboard politics are the dwarves, all of whom are noticably more tan than their peers. >However, as they did not appear in the series’ anime adaptation nor have they made their debut in its manga version, it seems that this fan had not fully engaged with Kamiya’s work before attempting to rake him over the coals. >Ultimately, the entire interaction left Kamiya wondering if they would have a better understanding of the fan’s mentality if, instead of leaving for Japan with his parents at the age of 7, he had lived out his life in the United States. >“I wonder if I wouldn’t understand it because I am now completely close to the Japanese,” said the creator. Didn't realize the NGNL creator was half-brazilian, kek.

>>74917 >anime lives on inside of us Not for me, I can't remember any era of anime where it wasn't just dogshit adaptations with a single exception once every few blue moons. I can count with both hands the anime that have gotten truly good (not even great or perfect) adaptations with no dealbreaker problems. Remove from the list those that only had a good season one that covered like 10% of the plot total, and then jack shit (in other words, stuff that actually got adapted from start to end), and the number goes down to like three. Remove from the list those that took over a decade to get adapted from start to finish and that number goes down to zero. TLDR: Just stick to the source material.
>>74920 i'd have to be indifferent about CVs, OSTs and color to give up on anime. which is impossible. i can read the raw WNs, i do independent of this or that anime, but if there's anime i watch it and wish for more.
