Leaked Experience

Two randos on the Internet (H.C. and D.A) talk about things we're very passionate about. (icon: ネコにんげん @ picrew

Have you ever wondered "this translation has issues I want to address, but I don't know how to do it without throwing someone under the bus"? This article is for you.

2025 is the Year of Heists apparently, so we really lucked out getting our panel accepted; it's especially topical this time around~

We hope to see y'all there! 😀- D.A.

H.C. goes into the opening for the Gnosia anime, "Wolf in Sheep's Clothing", and why its selection of vocalists (Kobo Kanaeru and Kasane Teto) is actually ingeniously relevant to the game's themes. https://t.co/FGU67wnSCp

Ever since I wrote this article, a new project called Princession Orchestra has been airing on TV Tokyo since April 2025! It's a non-PreCure magical girl show for girls, and... oh, right. English speakers don't care enough to look into it, do they~? (H.C.)

[Leaked Experience @leaked_exp]

We go into the "Madoka killed the magical girl genre" myth yet again, this time discussing the fact that Madoka wasn't actually received that way in 2011, and also the fact that PreCure has *way* more cultural clout than you probably think. https://t.co/E2ssxUU22U

[Leaked Experience @leaked_exp]

H.C. discusses the infamous controversy regarding Persona 4 character Naoto and how it probably wouldn't have ever been as much of a problem if the official English translation hadn't made some abysmally transphobic-sounding wording choices.

[Leaked Experience @leaked_exp]

After an ordeal of having overhauled the entire website's design, H.C. goes into the rose-colored way people talk about the "GeoCities era" and how beginners can get into making their own personal websites in this day and age.

[Leaked Experience @leaked_exp]

The site has been going through a lot of remodeling lately because both admins are working on major projects that require special formatting. We don't know when either of us will be done... 😅 but thank you for your patience!

[Leaked Experience @leaked_exp]

Today, D.A. has returned from the anime mines to bring some levity to us all with a new anime recommendations list for tired souls in trying times. https://t.co/8ZiVJfS9Dq

[Leaked Experience @leaked_exp]

If you're wondering where to find us...

[Leaked Experience @leaked_exp]

@An_ca_te @SomewanElse_ -- quite obvious they were there for quick name value and nothing to do with the actual game.
Re: everything else, I don't think it's clear-cut at all, but I may have been a bit emphatic on the other end because the predominant opinion is to pretend it doesn't even exist. (H.C.)

[Leaked Experience @leaked_exp]

@An_ca_te @SomewanElse_ OP here! (Sorry if it's presumptuous to barge in like this)
Re: the Atelier thing, that's definitely not the case at all; I have to emphasize that this happened *before the game even released* at a time when even fans wouldn't be ready to make doujin for it yet, so it was --

[Leaked Experience @leaked_exp]

@SingerOfW ...oops, that first one was a result of me writing this at 2 AM. I'll go fix that now, thanks 😅 (H.C.)

[Leaked Experience @leaked_exp]

H.C., who's been enjoying the recent Fate/stay night release, writes about some scattered findings regarding The Garden of Sinners and Fate/Zero and makes a case for why she wants to see new translations: https://t.co/hhyEB4zJq1

[Leaked Experience @leaked_exp]

It's 'bout to get unhinged. BELIEVE. (D.A.)

[Leaked Experience @leaked_exp]

Listen. I'm in a cage for a reason. (D.A.)

[Leaked Experience @leaked_exp]

Also, this isn't just my site, and D.A. is working on another thing right now that is even more openly and flagrantly opinionated than my usual. So if you've been following us and are more used to my writing style, just a heads up 😅 (H.C.)

[Leaked Experience @leaked_exp]

@AnythingButLiz When it comes to recommending things, we like to tailor it to the other person's taste -- what other kinds of works or themes do you tend to like?

[Leaked Experience @leaked_exp]

Today: a heavily opinionated post about the "Madoka killed the magical girl genre" fallacy, the actual reasons you don't see a lot of new magical girl IPs these days, and the fact that most people don't really understand magical girls in the first place... https://t.co/OttouLvP4N

[Leaked Experience @leaked_exp]

@CabbitSama It's no worries, actually, thanks for the heads up since I think I'll go reword it! The truth is, I also watch TCG anime and it *completely* slipped my mind WIXOSS and TCG series would also run into the same stigma. Maybe I'm too naive 😅 Thank you so much! (H.C.)

[Leaked Experience @leaked_exp]

@fmwseien ...yeah, you know what, I think I'm just going to leave it here, unpacking that is going to take way more than 280 characters at this point. But I *really* suggest reconsidering how dangerous that kind of oversimplified view of the industry is. (H.C.)
