I've heard that the censorship is being forced upon them by Sony, and that this was a recent decision of theirs in response to all the fake controversy surrounding the game on social media.

They basically stabbed their core audience in the back by handing their game over to those jerks to translate, and in the process likely killed a decent amount of their momentum amongst English-speaking audiences. Here's hoping someone mods in a alternative English translation eventually.

Was looking forward to seeing Dimitri Monroe tackling this, and I am not disappointed. In spite of many others taking Justin Sevakis at his word and forgetting about the whole thing (even accepting his insistence that none of the changes bragged about made it into the final product, despite the...

Considering the guy's history, I didn't believe Justin Sevakis' apology for one second; or his insistences that none of the alterations bragged about made it into the final product. I have absolutely no doubt that he was fully aware and approved of what was going on with that anime, until the...

Sadly, it's not really surprising; not coming from companies like Sega, Bandai Namco, and Square Enix. They've made several attempts over the years to bastardize their creations to try and appeal to "western audiences", based on what they saw as our lowest common denominator; which these days...

An interesting video that goes into the corruption (and at times, outright disdain towards Japanese creators and their culture) that has permeated the "localization" industry for decades.

Thankfully, that tradition didn't entirely die (thanks to older, more obscure anime, and franchises like Macross and Pretty Cure; not to mention the tokusatsu genre), and I've noticed that more and more unofficial subtilties are being made as alternatives to the official ones.

The only reason those people have anything to do with anime and/or manga, is because they're seen as popular right now, and they hope to eventually coopt and destroy the community surrounding it; so that they can turn us into yet more foot soldiers/piggy banks for their insane death cult. If I...
