What's with fansubbers shoving in as many pointless annotations

>>135980765
Fansubbers are huge, man. They're bigger than you or me. They're bigger than this shitty medium. They're bigger than Japan itself. To contain their enormous wit is no easy task, and sometimes we are blessed with these gems of uncut hilarity. Enjoy it and be thankful.

Or learn Japanese yourself. But wait. You can't.

Anyone with a working brain can figure out that they're referring to London there unless you're some drooling mongoloid.

Londonium actually refers to the ancient "City of London" built by the romans during the time they had occupied England; not to London itself.

Google it

Good fansubbers who actually strive to release quality subs should use as little translation notes as possible. If you have to info dump on the viewer and distract him from watching the show then you're doing it wrong.

I thought fansubbers already went away.

It's all about balance. If important meaning will otherwise be lost, it's better to use a TL note. If it's something the watcher should be able to figure out, it's better to not use one.

I honestly think that they aren't used enough, with my advanced knowledge of Nihon culture, I am sometimes privy to references and puns that you lesser folk might miss, and I feel that my impressive knowledge ought to be shared.

Hey I doubt Japan had a pop-up telling them what Londinium was back when they aired that show.

>let's put a giant white bar on the screen
>thinks this is okay

>>135980765
I for one like TL notes.

But what I miss more are character-color-coded subs

It's already gone away, there are no fansubbers anymore. It's really a blast from the past watching series from around 2000 and earlier and seeing this sort of thing.

Keikaku means plan.

HorribleSubs wouldnt do this

>>135981768
Because they don't actually sub anything?

Niggeru means "to run away".

>that "quality"

Also TL NOTE; keikaku means plan

>>135981768
Of course not. They just rip shitty subs from Crunchyroll shows and fuck the whole fansubbing community in the ass.

>>135982018
Why didn't any fansubbing group retaliate?

>>135982050
What?

What year is this? That sort of practice has been out of fashion for at least half a decade by now
