the mdzs manga announcement is a double edged sword bc on one hand i'm so so so so hyped to have a comic-style adaptation that isn't the manhua bc i'm. allergic to the webtoon-esque vertical scroll style + prefer b&w comics to colored ones stylistically. and also japanese manga means maybe japanese anime adaptation which means even more mdzs figures bc the jp figure companies will finally be forced to acknowledge it exists which means maybe we'll get more of characters who aren't wangxian please i beg of you i want lsz at the very least. on the other hand it's big news for the people who watched the jp dub of the donghua w english subs and i absolutely resent that.

#'but gsc is a japanese company and there are a ton of mdzs good smile figures' they're all by the shanghai branch lol #but back to the point. the amount of people who take chinese 'anime-style' media and try to. for lack of a better word. japan-wash it makes #me so uncomfortable. like . holy sinophobia batman! if you can't speak japanese then why the hell are you on the jp dub . i mean /i/ know #why but the lack of self awareness is apalling. and it's quite honestly pathetic to do it with mdzs bc it's so heavily rooted in chinese #culture and chinese genre expectations. like . it's not the only xianxia ever and pretending it is is just sad #the one victim of this where it happens even more often has to be genshin . like ppl like to pretend the cn and kr dubs don't even EXIST #and treat the jp dub like it's the 'true' form of the game's dialogue . the jp dub . of a chinese game . is the canon version .#do you hear yourself .#inazuma was a mistake i think the addition of jp aesthetics to the game has just exacerbated this issue x1000 . bc every time i see this #shit it's overlaid over a picture of the shogun . normally that one shot of her from her trailer. you know the one.#romeo.txt
