Gonna need some genres you like or else people are going to suggest random moe slice of life and battle shonen and isekai about being reborn as a vending machine

Edit: Too slow

I was taking a look at Space Battleship Yamato. I'm a Star Trek fan so it looks like something I'd enjoy.

Scifi and ESPECIALLY space opera basically doesn't exist in current year
 
I'm not melanated enough to care about dubs or the niggers who make them.

Action and Historical drama.

Apothecary Diaries ticks off the historical drama box, it's about a young apothecary in not-exactly-historical-China who ends up working in the Rear Palace for the emperor's courtesans and solving mysteries and making kissy faces at the local eunuch-who-is-not-what-he-seems. No real action though. Very popular among female fans.

Legend of the Galactic Heroes is always a recommend, though it totally depends on how many episodes of talking (albeit it's really good dialogue!) you can stomach, because that's more or less the entire show minus a couple of episodes of actual warfare combat. Since you're interested in Yamato, you might just want to go into the Space Opera genre and see what you like from there.

I'm curious why most people seem to be more or less okay with jobs like this while nowadays when people do it, it's a huge issue. Is it just because translators/localizers really ought to know better by now? I'm genuinely curious.

Current translators/localizers literally think they're God's gift to the world by translating another language, and also have disdain for the fanbase (if not the source material itself). A lot of these choices made come off as malicious and bitter, especially since Japanese slang has been a thing for generations and it didn't used to be a problem until recently, apparently.

Part of what really bothers me in the localization debates are the people whose defense, as seen in cases like the fantasy manga referenced above, is that if a character in the Japanese original uses Japanese slang or informal language that means it's OK to translate it into something like "You better stand back for the GOAT!" or "crashing out my gyatt for the rizzler" and other nonsense.

"Oh, I GUESS YOU HATE WHIMSY AND FUN!"

No, it's not fun, it's not whimsical, it's unprofessional. That sort of "localization" that involves jamming in slang and memespeak, it's just looking for people to clap like seals about how funny the localizers are as translators at the expense of the original works. Is it too much to ask for localizers to not to treat every assignment as if they're making "ADV'S Ghost Stories Dub Part II".

The only time when it's justified is when it's specifically a period piece and you insert slang specific by that time that would be said by that type of character. But memes are unsalvageable since they get old incredibly fast
 
Well I got baited into reading a handful of chapters of of this stupid shit because some one described as
"The far reaching consequences of a furry fucking a chimpanzee"

How much more stupid does this series get. I kinda hate all the humans in this series and I think the only redeemable thing is when one of them tries to push animal rights, veganism, etc. to the humanzee, it's response has so far been along the lines of not really fucking caring (think it's also hunted that the only reason why it doesn't eat meat is because it's foster parents are vegan and refuse to even buy the stuff).

Anyone got any favorite moe slop recommendations? I just finished Yuru Camp and I'm desiring more high quality slop

If you don't mind older moé series and also don't mind a heavy dose of Shintoism in your moé and a few utterly insane stories (such as Yurie raising the spirit of the Battleship Yamato or Fight Club with cats), perhaps you'd like Kamichu!?

Yurie is playing the maracas in the outro because her voice actress Mako (Sakurai), who also is the singer of the ED, was the maraca player of the Japanese rock band Bon-Bon Blanco before she became a voice actress.
