The poet they probably shouldn’t have sent. I watch anime and am sometimes accused of reading books. I'm writing a long gay giant robot story in verse—probably this millennium's best yuri mecha epic poem, through lack of competition.


'Now praise those names on tombs of steel engraved | And toll this rotting country’s countless bells.'

@stepnix asked:

do you have any insight on the origin of the phrase "cyber newtype" in Gundam localization? It's not a direct translation, but it's a thematically weighty enough element that I feel like it had to pass through some kind of significant oversight. curious if there's any info out there.

Not off the top of my head, no: I'm afraid I've never made it my business to study production/localisation history systematically. I know one or two people who might know, so I'll ask around and get back to you if I learn anything.
