Not saying it would be impossible, but based on the subs I have access to, it might be a bit difficult for Gaga to distribute and sub this series. Most things would go over the head of non-Japanese viewers without T/Ns, and the subs I have access to have A LOT of them. Since Gaga subs are strictly .srt and don't have any kind of formatting, it would most likely make the subs feel very cluttered and make it hard to read.
Well yes, because the runtime for Japanese episodes is drastically shorter than Thai ones. It's not about it being…
Because I am open to being proven wrong. Hell, I WANT to be proven wrong. I just know they could've gone for a different approach and not just literally copy the Thai version. I want it to be better. Compare the opening sequence of both versions. They are shot-for-shot the exact same. Sure, angles are somewhat different, but they show the exact same thing. Now compare the opening sequence of the different versions of Ossan's Love, My Love Mix-Up and Cherry Magic and understand that they could absolutely do things differently with this version of TBNW despite using the same source material, but they just didn't for some reason.
I expect them to be similar, but when some parts are basically shot-for-shot the same, why even make a separate…
No, I genuinely want to know, though. In what way is this different to the Thai version? Because I don't think you quite understand what I mean and where I am coming from and you merely dismiss it as "my opinion" when it just objectively IS the same but set in Japan. Please look at the three different versions of Ossan's Love and you will see exactly what I mean. They are all different versions of the same story, but unlike TBNW JP, those actually all have their own identities. This is just the same story (with some minor differences) in a different font. It's fine if you like it, I didn't say you couldn't, but you have to look at it more objectively.
These japanese adaptations are made using the same source material. Of course they're going to be similar to the…
I expect them to be similar, but when some parts are basically shot-for-shot the same, why even make a separate version at that point? Look at the reverse. Do you notice how the Thai adaptations of Japanese BLs usually actually have their own identity despite being based on the same source material?
This series is not as bad as you all make it seem 🙄 and it's not 100% exactly like the Thai version. Most parts…
Well yes, because the runtime for Japanese episodes is drastically shorter than Thai ones. It's not about it being 100% like the Thai version, it's about how it has 0 identity of its own. Sure some things are changed, but when a lot of it is almost shot-for-shot the exact same, genuinely what is the point? Hell, all three main versions of Ossan's Love (JP, HK, TH) feel drastically different and despite telling the same story, they all have their own identity.
For everyone complaining about the bad subs online, there are better ones, but you must know where to look. DM…
Not sure if it's related, but because I have already received a few friend requests after making this comment, please don't send me friend requests! You can just send me a message without the need of a friend request.
I'm sorry, but this once again just feels like the exact same series as the Thai version, but with a different font. Why do these Japanese Mame adaptations feel like they have no identity of their own beyond the original series?
I have bad news for Pure because according to my Swedish friend "Stockholm Ikeas are trash. They never have the supplies you need." Apparently he should've gone to Ă…lmhult instead.
My issue with these adaptions is it's too shot for shot of the original sometimes. I wish they'd take the story…
Yes, this! This is why I couldn't bring myself to like the Japanese version of Love Sea more than the Thai one because it just felt like the exact same series but they're Japanese. Like at least do something different! Comparing it to the Thai adaptations of originally Japanese BLs, at least it feels like they have their own identity despite the main plot being the exact same. I actually really liked the Thai version of both Cherry Magic and My Love Mix-Up (yes, ads and all.)
I just hope they won't use the horrid AI transitions—that I saw they used for the special last week—between…
Also respectfully, because this is Siwaj's work, I'm keeping my expectations low for the series in general. That man is spreading himself way too thin in my opinion and is unable to give each series the love and care they deserve.
I just hope they won't use the horrid AI transitions—that I saw they used for the special last week—between each part. It genuinely made me recoil the first time I saw it. Ew.
For everyone complaining about the bad subs online, there are better ones, but you must know where to look. DM me and I'll tell you where you can find better subs, but be aware it might take some time since I'm uncertain if they have registrations open at the moment...
The backgrounds at the very least are 100% AI, which unfortunately makes the character art likely AI as well, as well as the little animation that is 100% interpolated...
It isn't like buying a mug. A painting is considered a unique piece. It's similar as buying the design of the…
In my head I was comparing it with how you often need a license to use art or an asset commercially. It's not quite the same when it comes to AI (as we all know it's trained on thousands upon thousands of stolen artwork in the first place,) but it does mean that even though you may have paid for a piece of art, you as a matter of fact cannot use it however you want and there are certain limitations – which ideally I think should also apply to training AI models.
Comparing it to the Thai adaptations of originally Japanese BLs, at least it feels like they have their own identity despite the main plot being the exact same. I actually really liked the Thai version of both Cherry Magic and My Love Mix-Up (yes, ads and all.)
Update: they didn't yay!
