Ah, the blessings of having a massive linguistic and cultural barrier to progressive ideas. Japan has its problems, but pink haired lunatics who hate their homeland aren’t one of them.

Slowly but surely, independent translators and the piracy sites that host their work are regaining the ground they lost thanks to the advent of streaming platforms.No, it's just us Western fans who have the problem of having these gatekeepers unless we want to go through the trouble of learning Japanese ourselves and importing directly.
CBR said:Poggioli also went the extra mile to ensure the clothes appeared weathered, worn, and prominent under changing light. "It was the real light of the time," he said. "I had like 15 people aging the costume, and it was very important that in each costume, you can see what the sun [did to] these people working [during] the day, like, what the sea was making of everything [...] the costumes, they were made like a sculpture, to keep the light like in reality." It's easy to compare the costume design to vampire films like Van Helsing, which also heavily relied on characters wearing period-accurate clothing.
One of the film's greatest feats was depicting diverse cultures solely through costume design. "It was interesting to describe the different people that were in this boat. Even if André, the director, asked me to not describe too much [about] the ethnicity of each of them. But it was just in some detail," said Poggioli. "For example, just the difference of the boots. The Russian guy has boots instead of shoes, [and] the Romanian guy has a particular boot. So it's just in the details that we can discover where these people are coming from."
MovieWeb said:The Last Voyage of the Demeter boasts an exceptional set of diverse characters, but in the port of Varna scene at the beginning of the movie, the diversity was only enhanced. This in turn excited Poggioli, as it allowed him to investigate and research ideas around the diverse groups of people that would be at that Bulgarian port at the turn of the 20th century. Poggioli said:
"And so I was lucky," continued the designer, because he'd shot films in those places before. "So I had many, many books that were telling me the story of these people [...] Instead of going on the internet, where everybody [goes] to research, I had already many books that I bought during my trips in these countries."
Poggioli then carried on by discussing the little details he gave each character to reference their ethnicities in different ways. "It was interesting to describe the different people that were in this boat. Even if André, the director, asked me to not describe too much [about] the ethnicity of each of them. But it was just in some detail," said Poggioli. "For example, just the difference of the boots. The Russian guy has boots instead of shoes, [and] the Romanian guy has a particular boot. So it's just in the details that we can discover where these people are coming from."
From there, the issue was making the details even more detailed. "The biggest challenge was to make the costume in that sense," said Poggioli. "For example, the sweater, we did the oldest sweater by hand, like [how] they were in that period. And also the coat that we made, it was exactly what they were wearing. It was like a linen covered with wax. So each costume was made with this intention to make it realistic."
And do not knew their own History.Even before Magna Carta Kings could not do everytching they wanted.These people aren't even trying anymore
I wasn't aware they were even writing new original Bond novels unrelated to the films or whatever.

Not in the least; I just refuse to allow myself to become so jaded that I let something like this pass without comment. As many people apparently have; considering that this was first revealed almost a month ago, and yet almost nobody has talked about it. Then again, perhaps interest in the show is so low that not many want to talk about it in general; which, considering how the last few seasons of the previous Netflix Castlevania series turned out, I suppose wouldn't surprise me.You are surprised?
