Any west coast representation from Stanford/Berkeley/Caltech?

Not sure about within anime, but back in our fleshy human realm, Crunchyroll was founded by Berkeley graduates and is now the go-to anime platform. I suppose if you can't beat 'em, join 'em?

MIT is special. Stanford maybe, others are irrelevant in anime scene

Caltech is too obscure. Stanford starts gaining provenance with Silicon Valley Internet tech bros I believe. P.S. I believe MIT has strong prominence in Asia is mainly due to its proximity to Harvard.

  > I believe MIT has strong prominence in Asia is mainly due to its proximity to Harvard. I don’t know that that is true — when my parents decided to visit the US for a couple of years in the late 60s my Indian grandfather apparently said that I would end up at MIT. At that point I was just a little kid with no bias for science vs arts, but apparently didn’t consider Harvard relevant, even though one of his brothers was a diplomat and another a literature prof and he himself surely would have heard of the place. (I’m glad my parents didn’t tell me this “prophecy” until long after I graduated as I did end up going back and attending MIT!)

It’s true that Stanford was still not well known outside the western US into the early 80s, but its global prominence increased significantly long before those “tech bro” carpetbaggers showed up — the causality runs the other way.

There's a Caltech reference in Maria+Holic Alive episode 5: https://imgur.com/a/XUP62sN https://imgur.com/a/XUP62sN At 1:13-2:20 and 3:55-4:35: https://www.hidive.com/stream/maria-holic-alive/s02e005 https://www.hidive.com/stream/maria-holic-alive/s02e005 (requires paid subscription)

If you're the kind of person with a folder full of files, you might try something like find . -name '*.mkv' -o -name '*.mp4' | while read -r f ; do if ffmpeg -hide_banner -loglevel error -txt_format text -i "$f" -f srt - | grep -Ei 'Stanford|Berkeley|Caltech' ; then echo "# found in ${f}" ; fi ; done
