Why do people like fansubbing? They're always late, full

I think scanlation is a lot

Now you've gotten a reason to start learning Moon.

>>121619119
Because /a/ is full of retards.

So we can laugh at the likes of Commie.

>>121619119
Because it's free and you are too retarded to find a decent fansub

>>121619119
>hashtags are a meme

Japan loves twitter, dingus.

And if we didn't have fansubs then how else would we watch? It's a matter of avoiding shit groups. Horriblesubs is actually quite good for most stuff even if they are just CR rips.

>>121619222
Strange given they usually have their own versions of social network sites.
I assume that twitter is pretty simple and direct.

>>121619119
That's a good translation, though.

>>121619222
>>hashtags are a meme
But they are. Not by your stupid modern definition, but by the original, scientific one.

There is literally nothing wrong with Commie.

>>121619222
I thought nips used hashtags appropriately and not like retards.

>>121619265
Twitter is great for Japan. You have to understand that it's a totally different concept over here, the 150 character limit is restrictive in the west, Japan uses about half the characters at absolute worst. Plus they love abbreviation shit from cell phone emails, it's a natural progression.

>>121619286
You are fucking retarded

>>121619708
Match made in heaven really
Its great to keep tabs on doujin artists too

I like how it's always the novice Japanese learner/translator who makes the most noise about things like that pic.

Fansubbing died with gg. Nobody does memes like gg did. Has there even ever been another group with the balls to leave in random commercials in their encodes?

Oh right, they were a thing too. Didn't they mostly share members with gg?

>>121619119
Feel free to bitch about fansubs all you want, we'll start taking you seriously when you start working with a group and realise it's a helluva lot of work for no gratitude whatsoever. If you want gratitude, scan manhua.

>>121622061
>If you want gratitude
translate porn.

especially fucked up shit that most people dont want to look at. There will be a few anons that will jerk their dicks off.

>>121622202
While I'm not disagreeing cause I have scanlated a few H-doujins in my time I've found gook and chink audiences way more appreciative, as in sweet sweet donation money. Dunno what it is. Manga readers are a wanton, insufferable faggots in contrast.

I like how fansubbers take the time to sub the OP and ED.

>wanton, insufferable faggots

No, they're just not fucking idiots. There are plenty of ways to upload manga without it costing any host space and profiting off of scanlating is a goddamn crime anyway. Fan translations are about being a fucking fan. It's a labor of love. Or at least just for the practice. If you want money for it, then get a job doing it. Otherwise, eat shit, a thanks is the best you're going to get for eating up your own free time doing something that's only expense is buying manga that you read anyway.

>>121622452
>MGS2
>not Dawkins

I was almost proud of an anon for a minute there. Thanks for setting me straight faggot.

>>121622696
Then go and read your shitty magazine raws so you can bitch about the terrible state of the scan scene faggot. From my experience manga readers will bitch about the smallest defect in a scan, while manhua readers are grateful for anything at all.

As far as donations go, tank raws cost a helluva lot of money and not all of us are neets leeching off our parents. I don't make a bloody cent from scanlation and anyone who does is a faggot too.

>>121619119
Why do people like Funimation?
They're always poor video quality, full of memes and sometimes they even censor a show because they don't follow Christian family values.

>>121619341
Who told you so?

>>121622864
Gratitude doesn't mean money. People appreciate hardcore scat more than people appreciate the latest chapter of Naruto getting translated.

Tanks also cost next to fucking nothing.

>>121619280

What's the actual line in Japanese?

My aching ass, Japanese tankobons run like 600 yen a volume or even less, with shipping it'll be maybe about as much as a translated one costs. If you're paying people to scan that shit for you, then you're an idiot, just order them and go to a fucking library or something if you don't have your own scanner. You might have a point if you were ripping BDs or some shit, but manga is absolutely dirt cheap, even NEETs can afford it.

>>121619119
how come no group has done boku no pico

>>121623185
>>121623125
Maybe tanks cost nothing to fags like you, but it costs honestly $50 in postage to get two volumes shipped to me. My fault for living in the ass end of nowhere I guess. Shit, I don't even read them anymore, what the hell am I doing.

I live halfway around the world, and shipping doesn't cost more than the fucking tank.

>>121623541
>shipping rates are the same everywhere in the world

>>121623316
Where the fuck do you live where shipping something as light as manga would mark it up like 350%? I could not possibly live further away from Japan without leaving orbit and it still would not cost that much.

>>121623541
Not that guy but you're retarded and know nothing about imports.

>>121623554
Halfway around the world is as far as you can get in terms of distance, dummy.

I live in the middle of a bloody desert, 400km from the nearest airport or major city and have dial-up internet speed on good days. You may have experienced suffering anon, but you will never experience the suffering that I do every day as a desert scanner ;_;

Only hope is that one day I can get a job in the mines.

Distance isn't the whole thing. You can live in the middle of the Canadian hinterland and the shipping rates will be a lot more expensive than to New York City.

>>121622864
>tank raws cost a helluva lot of money
Are you kidding me? You're buying manga that you want to read anyways, funding your hobby isn't anyone's job but your own. Scanlators who expect money are retarded. It's not meant to be a job and it shouldn't be treated like one.

>A meme (/ˈmiːm/ meem)[1] is "an idea, behavior, or style that spreads from person to person within a culture".[2] A meme acts as a unit for carrying cultural ideas, symbols, or practices that can be transmitted from one mind to another through writing, speech, gestures, rituals, or other imitable phenomena with a mimicked theme. Supporters of the concept regard memes as cultural analogues to genes in that they self-replicate, mutate, and respond to selective pressures.[3]

>The word meme is a shortening (modeled on gene) of mimeme (from Ancient Greek μίμημα pronounced [míːmɛːma] mīmēma, "imitated thing", from μιμεῖσθαι mimeisthai, "to imitate", from μῖμος mimos, "mime")[4] coined by British evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins in The Selfish Gene (1976)[1][5] as a concept for discussion of evolutionary principles in explaining the spread of ideas and cultural phenomena. Examples of memes given in the book included melodies, catch-phrases, fashion, and the technology of building arches.[6]

>A field of study called memetics[8] arose in the 1990s to explore the concepts and transmission of memes in terms of an evolutionary model. Criticism from a variety of fronts has challenged the notion that academic study can examine memes empirically. However, developments in neuroimaging may make empirical study possible.

How about you idiots read a little bit before you spout off.

Googling the definition of meme doesn't prove your point. You think anybody here cares about how you define meme?

But what's the dankest meme ever?

>>121623959
Religion.

>>121624004
m'anon

>>121623908
I kind of do actually. It's a pretty useful concept for helping to understand how humans refine their survival strategies and develop civilizations over generations while other animals just sniff around the in woods and roll around in their own shit.

I dont understand this post are you saying that funimation encode quality is good?

Its well known that funimation has no idea how to encode video and there isnt a single instance of a high quality funimation rip

So is OP saying that the subs in OP are wrong or something? It seems right to me.

>>121624228
>meme enablers

Main reasons I like them are
-Typesetting
-Subbed and translated OPs and EDs
-Better video quality
-Better translations
-Chapters

More or less in that order from biggest reason to smallest

Also:
- Memes

Original:
Sento: I intend to do anything I can.
Kanie: Then I'll have you shed one layer of skin immediately.

Shedding one layer of skin is a really old saying that meant you'd pitch in and help out in the manual labor. The "one layer of skin" refers to taking one arm out of the sleeve of your kimono, leaving you with one exposed shoulder (the one layer of skin) and ready to do work.

I suppose if you localize a 17th century Japanese meme to an 18th century English meme and switch around who says it, nobody bats an eye.

>nobody bats an eye.

The only people that complain about liberal subs are people that dont understand the language so they wouldn't know if that was the correct translation or not. They only get mad when they know for sure that something is "liberally translated" but what they dont know is that over half of the script isn't a direct translation of the precious japanese they cant even read.

I also hope the intent of your post was to praise a good translation because thats what that is.
