This is about anikura (アニクラ) which is a portmanteau of the loan words anison (アニソン) and club (クラブ). Interesting enough, anison itself is a portmanteau of anime (アニメ) and song (ソング) which refers to musical tracks used in various anime series and often gets misspelled by adding a "g" at the end since bawka gaijins can't into nippongo properly. Anyways, anikura refers to the use of "anison" related music in a "club setting" hence how the genre gets its name. Honestly, if you still need to hand to be held on what makes something "anison" or what is a "club," then you need to GTFO and lurk moar.

One of the more notable anikura is Akihabara MOGRA (MOGRA for short) which has been associated with this imageboard for well over a decade. However, just limiting yourself to one venue would do yourself a disservice since there are other livehouses and even devoted anison groups who help contribute to anikura all over Japan! However, for those who wish to explore the anikura scene in Japan, otaku-bar.com would be a great place to start your journey.

Although the primary source of anikura comes from venues in Japan, there are also held online. As previous mentioned: MOGRA is the most well known anikura which also streams a lot of their events online via Twitch. However, there are individuals associated with MOGRA which also streams online and one of them is the President of MOGRA: D-YAMA who goes by the channel name of choroyama via Twitch. As previously stated, MOGRA can be used as the base on discovering other venues and even DJs who also stream online.

Since online streaming is the play, there are international anikura which primarily stream online and also hold physical events when available. One of the anikura group that can trace their origin to this very imageboard would be Anison Hijack which has been streaming consistently every two weeks on the Twitch platform. Obviously, there are many international anikura online and hopefully you can check them out!

The following is a sample list of various anikura that stream online via Twitch.

Surprised by how much I enjoyed bustafellows, I really liked the group's dynamic
>>
>>46860351
Heh, so nothing like Kurusu penetrating Teppei with an アムロ、行きまーす! war cry, gotcha.
I don't really want to get into translation theory or what the fuck, not for a game I didn't play in either language, and not when I lack the mastery and the reading experience to make any objectavive statements about any Japanese author's writing skills. But sometimes translating something is not about whether you can, but whether you should. At least for me when much of what makes a work so good is rooted in its use of language (because of word plays, some kind of dialect or sociolect, clever use of kanji, etc) then imho you lose too much, no matter how skilled the translator was. That was not a work meant to be enjoyed by anyone other than the original target audience. I'm not saying L&D falls into this category, I guess it's more in that grey area like Ace Attorney or Suda's games where the translation may or may not work, but the quality is going to take a hit no matter what.
But if the original was not a meme-fest then doing a meme translation is just a fucking shitty thing to do, period.

>>46867840
Honestly, I agree with many of your points. It can't be disputed how the original text gives a far more different experience, no matter how well or accurate a translation is. It's a sort of thing that can feel rather inorganic in a way.
Since I became far more serious in understanding Japanese, there is a lot to appreciate about the language's subtleties. It's difficult to explain precisely but Japanese simply convey certain ideas and emotions in a more intricate, impactful way which will never be translated adequately in another language. In contrast to English, Japanese is highly contextual and often does not repeat itself with pronouns and/or the main subject. IMO this really works well to its advantage by creating a certain type of environment and mood which isn't easily achievable anywhere else. An example is when L&D describes Azuma's emotional state within a "gradiant". This is particularly noticable when a certain person Azuma truly respects Matsuda first commits rape/violence to him and cold blooded murder right in front of his face (within a certain ending) - latter being particularly very gory despite not having a CG. The fact that the writing also artfully omits the guy's identity as a way to intensify Azuma's shock is a sort of thing that really gave a huge impression on me.
But yeah, as someone who loves the Metal Gear Solid games and as well as Suda51's work + the Ace Attorney games for their English localizations, I get what you mean. I figured it's always gonna be judged on a case by case basis in the event where the translation can actually work with the work's setting and be appreciated for what it is despite all the glaring discrepancies.
