Dear @Netflix,
As the official French translator of the Steel Ball Run manga, I'd like to share a concern about your batch-release strategy for JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.
Twenty-eight years ago, I spent years trying to convince Glรฉnat, then France's dominant manga publisher, to respect the original reading format their audience wanted. They refused, until a competitor did it right and nearly knocked them off their pedestal. They finally listened. But it took a near-disaster to get there.
Steel Ball Run is a story built on tension, suspense and anticipation, arc by arc, week by week. Batch-releasing it neutralizes what makes it work narratively. I'm not asking you to follow every fan demand. I'm asking you to consider whether your release strategy serves the story you're investing in.
The JoJo community is one of the most loyal and vocal fandoms out there. That loyalty is an asset, if you treat it as one.
@1010_dinosaur@IsThisA3DModel @JohnSole651328 thank you for coming to my ted talk ai cant make art only regurgitating an amalgamation of art it has learned in a way that forms a new picture (nothing it makes is truly unique)
@1010_dinosaur@IsThisA3DModel @JohnSole651328 alright get this the rendering math for paws is actually way different as ai only has to account for a parabolic curve vs finger and bone structure which has erratic motions, and is much more linear with random curvilinear pathings put within.
@1010_dinosaur@IsThisA3DModel @JohnSole651328 blah blah hands have more sudden curves vs a paw which is overall an oval shape with some lines indicating fingers
