It’s so bad, but the ending is worth looking up.
So Kadokawa had this failing mobile game named Kemono Friends, but they wanted a TV anime for it, so they get Omoto Tatsuki to direct it. He takes their product and actually turns it into something people want to watch, going as far as, releasing supplemental clips from the show on Twitter and even arranging a collaboration with the Tobu Zoo in Saitama Japan. This collab gave us the tragic saga of Grape-kun the Humbolt Penguin, a meme in its own right. Since the show didn’t have much of a budget he hired no-name voice talent, launching their carriers thanks to the popularity of the show.
Ultimately, it was the clips on Twitter that did him in if rumors are to be believed. He was sharing clips as usual, but Kadokawa wanted that content for the home video special features, so they fired him abruptly. He already saved Kemono Friends for them, so they cut him loose.
I’m interested to see who else they screwed over, considering they also got caught bribing the Tokyo 2020 Organizing Committee to secure a sponsorship deal.
I’m not a bot.
My first time seeing someone go to bat for Kadokawa, considering how they treat their employees.
Kadokawa group sucks.
I hope they release it.
It’s pretty cool. https://github.com/Acly/krita-ai-diffusion?tab=readme-ov-file
Dunno, but you could ask the OP I linked in the text.
Here’s one. Did they overfit their model and think they could block the bad prompts?
Music copyright is such a shitshow. It doesn’t surprise that they would try this.
Edit: I just heard the generated songs that are part of the lawsuit. They’re pretty fucked if this is true,

That bot isn’t what we would call AI these days.
