ProZD and the Great Anime Authentic Voice Casting Meltdown

When it comes to “authentic casting” in anime, nobody’s been louder about it than SungWon Cho, better known as ProZD.For years, he’s been the guy standing on the soapbox yelling that roles should go to “authentic” voices that match the race or ethnicity of a character. But when the money came calling and suddenly he was the one voicing a white dude, his entire conviction crumbled faster than a filler arc in Bleach.And when people started pointing out the hypocrisy? He did what every online personality does when the heat turns up: locked his Twitter account, blocked critics, and dipped out of the conversation.  The Bleach Casting Chaos If you missed it, here’s the recap: Back in October 2023, anime Twitter caught fire when it was revealed that Anairis Quiñones would be voicing Yoruichi in Bleach: TYBW, replacing long-time actress Wendee Lee.

Lost in Translation: The Rise of Using Fear and Anime Activism

Caution: Ideology Ahead! How Activists Have Invaded Your Anime You know what I want when I go looking up anime conventions? A list of dates, times, and maybe a map so I don’t end up in the wrong ballroom with a bunch of sweaty Pokémon card traders. You know what I don't want? A fear-mongering disclaimer straight out of a freshman sociology seminar warning me not to come to America because *gasp* the “current political climate” is just too scary! Liberal Activists Using Fear in Anime That’s exactly what greets you on certain convention-listing sites like AnimeCons and FanCons, which decided that before you even look up a schedule, you first need a lecture about how unsafe the U.S. is.

Top 10 Overlooked Anime Movies Worth Adding to Your Watchlist

Top Anime Movies You Probably Missed If you’ve been in the anime game for more than five minutes, you’ve already seen Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, and probably Akira (or at least pretended you have to seem cultured). But here’s the thing - anime cinema is bigger, weirder, and way more interesting than the same 10 titles every YouTube list regurgitates like they’re passing around a bad AMV from 2007. So let’s ditch the obvious, dig up the criminally overlooked, and shine a light on ten anime movies you might have missed. You should absolutely watch them before you die, or at least before you get distracted by another 37 isekais. First, Our Criteria for “Missed” Anime We’re not talking about obscure films no one’s ever heard of outside of a 3am forum post. These movies had a release, had a […]

Upside Down and Underrated Anime: Patema Inverted Explained

Patema Inverted: Gravity, Gaslighting, and Plot Holes Let’s get one thing out of the way: Patema Inverted isn’t your average sci-fi anime. It’s the 2013 embodiment of high-concept, low-execution, occasionally gorgeous, and entirely obsessed with the idea of literally flipping you upside down to teach you a Very Important Lesson™. And honestly? I respect the hustle, even if some of it doesn't really make much sense if you pay too much attention to some scenes.This is your all-access pass to the anime weirdness that is Patema Inverted: the themes, the visuals, the societal commentary, and yes, an in-depth explanation at the end for those of you brave (or inverted) enough to keep reading.I did hide the spoiler ending though, so no worries - you won't accidently spoil anything for yourself by continuing on. Let's get into it. Gravity Schmavity: The Plot Some […]
