Starting today (2026-10-01), McDonald's announced that Ronald McDonald, who up to now was known as Donald McDonald in Japan, will restore his original namesake domestically. The decision seems to be tied to the charity organization "Ronald McDonald House," aiming to globalize the brand under 1 name.

Well, everyone sort of knew the story wasn't over after Rebellion, it just took 13 years for the next chapter... WHICH I STILL NEED TO SEE. Anyway, imo, movie 1 cuts too much out and the pacing is better in the TV series, but movie 2 is superb &... Rebellion absolutely WRECKED me when I first saw it

I have played and watched Magia Record (well, only the first season). The game is very vapid gatcha hell and the anime is very pretty but not exactly a masterpiece like the OG. I have also read a number of the spin-off manga. Of them The Different Story is excellent especially if you like Mami/Kyoko

Hi there, sorry for the unexpected response, but I can answer this. In Japanese these are called "Harmonies" (ハーモニー) and the actual technique in animation is called the "Harmony Process" (ハーモニー処理). Bit different to the "Postcard Memory" term in English, but they both evoke a similar vibe imo!

An excellent excerpt on translation from Andrew Briggs' translator notes for War and Peace. I feel this can be applied especially to anime and its translation styles, and we should aim for a similar balance as he describes here

In the introduction to his Don Quixote, John Rutherford divides translators into cavaliers and puritans. The cavalier takes some lib-erties; the puritan is a stickler for exactitude. Rutherford's intention was to combine the virtues of both and avoid their vices, a sensible if difficult plan. The previous translations of War and Peace have erred slightly too much on the puritan side, literal fidelity being set at a higher premium than writing naturally in English. It is now time to move somewhat in the other direction.
Let me give a couple of small examples. If a Russian asks, 'Did you study in Kiev, another Russian will respond by saying, 'In Kiev'. The puritan will use that repetition, while the cavalier would give the normal English speaker's response, 'Yes', or 'Yes, I did. Similarly, when a Russian mother says to her child, 'Ne nado!', the puritan will be tempted to render this literally as 'That's not necessary!', whereas the cavalier will go for 'Don't!'
The reason for this puritanism is not far to seek. It lies in what Rutherford refers to as a 'mistaken attitude of reverence for the original artist beside whom it's all too easy to feel like humble artisans who can only ever aspire to produce a pale shadow of the original... a self-fulfilling prediction... Literary translators must conquer these fears. This is good advice. Without ever drifting too far away from the original, it does seem reasonable to aim for the kind of English that would have occurred naturally in its context and now sounds appropriate.

I dunno if I'd go that far, but I would agree that they aren't really fans, or have only seen Oshii's first movie and seemingly forgot about all the later adaptations that didn't share his style or tone anyway. In any case, the hate is all performative and designed to generate engagement.

Also if they knew literally anything about Science Saru they would have seen a sequence like this coming at some point, I mean come on. For the record, I thought it was awesome, for sure the best sequence in the show so far, complimented by the strongest episode in general yet.

Sounds like RACS. Unfortunately I've heard many similar or exactly the same stories, whether it be cancelling and relisting at a higher price, or just general scalping of rare/OOP titles. Sure, it's an alternative, but not the most customer-friendly, so I always tell people to proceed with caution.
