For fans of animation: things you should know regarding this leak from avatar. This is my experience being on Invincible when we had only our designs leaked. JUST DESIGNS. Not even full animation.
It’s terrible for the entire team from top down on the project.
Here’s why…
Tomorrow, the House Commerce committee is voting on a package of bills that will force age verification on the entire internet. If the bills pass through markup, they will go to the full House for a vote.
We HAVE to stop these bills from passing.

it truly makes me sad, and frankly scared with the rise of AI, that readers/consumers aren't more vocal and appreciative of good lettering in manga localization because then it might seem like no matter how it Looks, people will still buy it. and letterers lose opportunities
mind you I could catch up to my favourite @gomanga easily if I wanted to with AI. It’s very convenient and easy for me to buy them immediately when they release in Japan. I wait, much longer, for the official translations because I actually care about the story and the quality!!
Notice how they didn't say "We will never use AI in any way, shape, or form, especially in our translations" because they wanna make sure they play "good dog" to their now Media Do owners who love AI.
this statement is screaming "sorry we got caught" and how you're scared of losing business due to the fallout.
so, show us we can trust you. many translators will not take MTPE jobs. nor will many letterers. continue to credit these people.
It’s a little on the nose but, as a topic that spread rapidly yesterday after shocking publishing news… lettering like this only happens when you work with skilled & experienced human professionals empowered to produce works of art, not AI-cogs in a pipeline to churn out content
成语and other similar forms of chinese are purposely reductive and complicated to show the breadth and width of the language in encapsulating meaning and the ability to understand and recite and create phrases in such a way is proof of one's mastery of chinese. but now we just+
im actually still not reassured but a statement is something i guess.....😭 media do is the one that mentioned ai, 7s never did, but that conflicting statement is why everyone's worried
I will remain skeptical to an extent but I am willing to observe how things go from here in better faith since this notice seems pretty clear and it looks transparent enough.
However, since the doors have been open, remember we will keep an eye out. We will offer only one chance.
stupid girl orders 2 erha special editions to add to her shi mei collection right before 7seas gets sold to a company who uses AI and everyone starts cancelling their pre orders
Just did this and listed out EVERY. SINGLE. SERIES. that I’m buying from them that are ongoing. Full titles and everything. It was too many characters for the Seven Seas contact form but I got to list all of them on Media Do at least
this better be 100% truthful; translators and editors are the backbone of the publishing scene and they CANNOT be replaced by ai. the full sentiment and meaning of a *human* author's words can only truly be conveyed with the expertise of a *human* team
i don’t know which publishing company needs to hear this (7seas) but AI and any form of literature cannot coexist. it goes against the essence of writing and if you can’t understand that, then you don’t fully grasp the market you’re operating in. do better !
ok now AFTER the statement I can finally be a bit excited about this. bc i’ve been waiting for it for 2 years now. it all depends on the more info to come about the AI stuff.
once again thank you for the HUMAN hard work that went into it to the TLers and artists etc. 🙏🏻
