Nice, more people will start streaming from legal sites like crunchyroll or netflix, that will only bring more anime to said sites and we'll all enjoy high quality streams with high quality, professional subs.

I hope it will come to cinemas abroad.

I'd even travel to London or something to watch it.

UTW was/is a pretty shit group. Their supporters consist of people who always make youtube-tier comments.

>>111247403

They'll use R1 most likely, so, just avoid them as usual.

I really wouldnt be too mad about subgroups giving up as long as there was at least a competent group to sub (at a decent speed) Funimation shows.

Nowadays for funimation shows you either get a fansub 5 days late or you get a glorious funimation encode. So sad

>>111249510
That's because for FUNimation they have to transcribe and retime the script line by line and that takes time and they are lazy.

>>111249625
>Or is this because I'm on /a/?

Exactly.

>>111249625
You're on /a/, where no one is well-versed in Japanese or English. Besides, the fansubbing community has always been small.

>>111249695
>You're on /a/, where no one is well-versed in Japanese or English.

>>111249657
>>111249695

>>111249763
>I take it that you're fansubbers, right?
No, just rational

>>111249763
I'm not but it's not hard to see how the scene really is.

>>111249625
I think CR is a major "problem" for the fansubbing community.
CR does a decent to good job with most of their subs and with HS we can have rips just a short time after the show aired in japan.
A lot of fansub groups don't even translate anymore, they just give the CR script another TL check, correct some minor mistakes and use a better RAW.
Real fansubbing is very rare nowadays. Even if we hate it - If CR suddenly died we'd be in a lot of trouble.

>>111249740

Part of /a/, yet different from /a/

>>111249625
>Is there really no regeneration within the community?

It sure seems like there's very little.
Maybe it's because anime isn't as popular in the west anymore as it was 10 years ago.
Maybe it's because of CR and people feel like new subgroups just aren't needed. I don't know.

>>111249929
>Maybe it's because anime isn't as popular in the west anymore as it was 10 years ago.

Not even close to accurate

>>111249625
There is, but of course there are fluctuations as the years go by. I think currently the fansub community is getting smaller and there are a lot of factors to contribute:

We come from a sort of golden era of fansub which began its downfall around the appearance of simulcast
Simulcast deters a lot of people from subbing, even people who already do fansubs
The entry barrier for fansubbing is somewhat higher now, i.e. Diaz//a//the community will shit on you if your release is not somewhat on the same level as currently established groups

So maybe we're entering a Dark Age of fansubbing, but to be honest is not that bad. I mean, I used to think the translation had to be accurate, but really 99% of the time it doesn't matter.

>>111249859

It would take a couple weeks for new sub groups to come out if CR died and stopped doing all the translating.

>>111250034
/a/ doesn't have an influence on fansubbing

>>111250034
We need a scapegoat to crucify and bring this dark age to an end. I elect Raze since he's not here anymore.

>>111249929
Well we had CCC for One Piece, but then he got a real job as a translator somewhere and his boss got real mad finding out his involvement in MR/PM.

>>111250009
I obviously don't know about the situation in america, but in my country it feels like the weeaboo times are over. 10 years ago all the kids were talking about anime in school. Now it's back to being that hobby for nerds and manchildren.

>>111250149
what country is that

>>111250034
>Diaz//a//the community
I never know why /a/ is always put on the pedestal, somehow looks as an important community, when most of the time it looks shit. /a/ only contribute like 5% and the rest 95% are shit-flinging self-masturbatory masochism.

There's no need to have fansub groups when there are so few actual anime fans left. Most people are anime consumers and are not anime fans. You can tell by their disdain for people who altruistically do fansubs that they are consumers and not fans.

I don't blame all those people who quit or those who refuse to take up the task of fansubbing to serve the ungrateful people.

There's no need for gratitude to fansubbers. They fansub for their enjoyment or to educate themselves in the process in case they seek employment at a media company such as crunchyroll. So they have been rewarded already.

Being grateful to fansubbers is like being grateful to whoever makes your toilet paper or whoever havested the lettuce in your salad. Who cares about those people? If those people quit, someone else will take up the job. That's how it has always been and will be in the future.

>There are Anons out there who unironically like Commie

Well, obviously, because D_S lost that domain in the summer of '12.

>>111257924
If Commie is the only proper release, they've barely edited the CR script, and added proper typesetting and song TL, why not use them?

Are you also one of those people who prefer original TLs over simulcast edits all the time, even if that means choosing some deadshit group that doesn't know English?

I remember when they pissed off a.f.k. so much he stopped subbing, and this was someone who single-handedly subbed haruhi (at a professional level) and managed to release each episode inside 24 hours, which was a small miracle back then.

Hi guys. Anime-Koi is still pretty good, and Doki, but I really liked Mazui and I wish they'd come back and provide a sufficiently autistic alternative. Those are my opinions on fansubs.

Oh I guess UTW is decent too. Underwater has it in them to be A-tier but then they always make some stupid localization decision that ruins the whole script (sweats club).

>>111271976

>>111271912
Go seek out the thread that screencap is from, in amongst the general shit-flinging is a lot of decent argumentation for and against localization and the specificities thereof.

Or we could always just have the same argument all over again! I'll start: "Itadakimasu" should always be left as-is, because it's used as a "set piece" in conversation and not necessarily for the dictionary meaning of the words. We have no direct equivalent of this tradition in the west aside from saying grace, which is a wholly separate cultural affair and would not work as a substitution. However, "Tadaima" and "Okaeri" should always be translated, because calling out "I'm home" and being acknowledged or welcomed back is a very common and familiar practice, which is also directly equivalent.

>>111272281
>We have no direct equivalent of this tradition in the west aside from saying grace
That actually is the direct equivalent

Why do people think Commie is a bad sub group?

Their Monogatari and Symphogear work was great.

UTW are lazy faggots who haven't finished SSY in years.

>>111272459
No it's not, it's tied explicitly to the christian faith which would make the usage of the ritual immensely out of place in Japanese anime and a misrepresentation of what the characters are doing. However, if you really wanted, you could put "TL note: Japanese equivalent of saying grace".

>>111272459
No it's not.

Itadakimasu honours the food for being there, whereas Grace honours God for putting it there.

>>111272553
>Why do people think Commie is a bad sub group?
Some people cannot take a joke, even if it's just playing around with typesetting

>>111272553
Because it's easier and funnier to stick with their bad releases, just like people has been hating a lot on UTW and Underwater in the last few months despite having done top notch releases in the past.

It's a separate practice, a separate tradition, and a separate meaning. The real question is whether "Gochisousama-deshita" should be translated or not (yes) (it should be translated to "what a meal!" or "that was delicious!" etc).

>>111272888

>>111273449

This. One has to be retarded not to be able to translate formal English into whatever suits their retarded minds in their own heads. Having sub groups do it for them just dumbs down the whole practice.

>>111273434
They are when they use one single word in its correct pronunciation in its culturally-defined place. Why would you introduce slang where there was none to start? If the character's tone indicates a casual feeling, then let the viewer figure that out whilst also getting the dictionary definition of the word the character said.

>>111273561
>They are when they use one single word in its correct pronunciation in its culturally-defined place.
They don't have multiple words to say one thing like English. So it's kind of necessary to translate accordingly because 'tasty' might not necessarily fit the person speaking.

>Why would you introduce slang where there was none to start?
That's not the case all the time.

> If the character's tone indicates a casual feeling, then let the viewer figure that out whilst also getting the dictionary definition of the word the character said.
Or you could translate it as it was said, because that's the point of a translation.

>>111273708
>because 'tasty' might not necessarily fit the person speaking.

According to YOUR view. For others, it may be fine because their brains can process "that character is expressing his/her thought on the food and it tastes good."

Translation =/= localization for slow retards.

>>111273708
>Or you could translate it as it was said, because that's the point of a translation.
Yes, you would then translate the word "oishii" into an english word of the same meaning, without adding any other connotations. The viewer can figure out if a little girl is saying it cutely (where one might put "delish!" if one was a particularly terrible human being") or if a hardened thug is growling out his appreciation (where certain people have been known to go for "this shit is tasty!" or similar).

>>111273829
>For others, it may be fine because their brains can process "that character is expressing his/her thought on the food and it tastes good."
Then what would be the point of subbing it if you already understand?

>>111273958
You can't understand what "tasty" means? Good grief.

"Tasty"/"Delicious" is neutral; "yummy"/"delish" is not.

>>111273918
>>Or you could translate it as it was said, because that's the point of a translation
>Yes, you would then translate the word "oishii" into an english word of the same meaning, without adding any other connotations.
You would add connotations to translate it 'as it was said'.

>>111273958
Because a gap in the subtitles is jarring when you are expecting to read along with the lines on screen.

>>>/out/

>>111274062
No you wouldn't. A character eats a thing, and says a Japanese word whilst looking pleased. The fansubs say "It's great!" or "delicious!". You now know what the character said, and can get the tone and emotion from the animation and voice acting.

>>111274036
>You can't understand what "tasty" means? Good grief.
I'm saying it isn't always apt.

>"Tasty"/"Delicious" is neutral; "yummy"/"delish" is not.
You don't always use 'tasty' to describe a food, and the same applies in dialogue.

>>111274138
Everything in that post is 100% true

>>111274154
>You now know what the character said, and can get the tone and emotion from the animation and voice acting.
There's nothing wrong with a fitting translation to go with that.

This is why there are people who can't into moon after years of anime. It's actually because they don't listen and rely on subs so hard.

>>111274156
There are options. For example, to convey surprise you could translate "oishii" as "oh, it's good!". The key is not using words that are "loaded" with secondary meanings and implications, in order to preserve accuracy.
