Amazon is experimenting with AI dubs on anime and other projects, and what it has done with Banana Fish is downright disgraceful.

        But it’s simple basic 101 scripting, by your own words. If you expect the other user to do the work for a one off calculation instead of assumptions, I’m sure it should be trivial for you to throw something together?

          It is a simple for loop, or a WHILE if I ask Jicetus nicely. I just don’t do threadiverse homework for free anymore.
          So, are trivially going to pay up, or do you need me to send a simple PM?

            My dude, you’re missing the point. You expect them to give accurate numbers, but aren’t willing to do the same. Double standards are pretty lame.

              Nah: I said the overestimation was completely wrong. I also said runtimes ≠ voice times.
              But you’re missing mines: How many N1 localizers are you gonna hire inorder to localize all the anime in MAL in order for you volunteers to voice act your dubs.

                Honestly N1 is probably unnecessary. I think most people who’ve passed N2 could do a great job with most shounen stuff. It’s not like they need to do it in real time.

                  Depends the anime. Idol anime like the Pretty series or Pretty Cure require a lot of creativity to localize from the era they are portraying. But general shows like in shounen, sure.

                  not like they need to do it in real time.

                  🤝 Exactly. And the fact we are scattered everywhere, doesn’t mean we have a window to localize from 0900-1700. Tis one of the reasons I want to emigrate to Europe ASAP, so I don’t have to karoshi.
