I'm stuck with fucking HorribleSubs shit for nearly everything

>>152055297
Horriblesubs didn't release LWA so asenshi subbed it.

CrunchyRoll simulcasts slowly killed off the fansub scene. The early 2010s was probably the last time that fansubs were still prominent and something you could expect for every show.

There was literally no way they could compete with Crunchyroll/Horriblesubs

The cartel extended its tentacles and absorbed every relevant subgroup while killing minor ones. Then at the same time it killed itself. See >>152056433

Fansubbers trapped themselves in a box of being all about speedsubbing back in the mid 00s. They didn't foresee a future where nearly all popular shows would be simulcast and available for download faster than they could speedsub. Their niche was poached from them and now they have basically nothing. Some groups are adapting though, focusing on Blu-Rays, OVAs, movies, etc, which don't get simulcasts, while only picking up a couple shows each season at most if they feel like it.

You do still have a few shows now and then that don't get simulcasts (this season is LWA) and so you'd think fansubbers would jump on these, but experience shows they surprisingly don't bother most of the time. If not for Asenshi one of the most anticipated anime of the year would have no subs.

>>152056724
Seriously, did you foresee a future where a company could find a profit model simulcasting subbed anime? I sure didn't.
Is Crunchyroll even profitable, or are they operating off of deep-pocketed VCs?

>>152055297

Why are you complaining?

HorribleSubs are fine. Just wait until they kick the bucket then you'll be that much closer to offing yourself.

I've come to prefer them.

[gg] ruined everything

>>152055297
Given that crunchy now has the ad budget to run to run ads on really, normalfag TV, I'll have to say, "yes, fansubs are dead."

Normieroll killed it and soon they'll kill our chinese cartoon hobby.

>>152056972
That's their endgame isn't it. Leave anime in the west a desiccated husk, mined for all the money they can, and then become complicit in it's cultural eradication in concert with the ethics sanctions of major world powers.

>>152056820
I mean, if you had asked me 10 years ago if I thought 90% of all seasonal anime would be simulcasted I would have said no, but I still generally thought putting all your eggs in one basket is stupid. Speedsubbing was mostly about epeen anyway.

But if you look at this really long term, CR is now in the same problem that fansubbers were in: they are relying too heavily on seasonal shows. What will they do when the anime bubble pops? If a bunch of studios close and the number of seasonal shows is cut down to like a third of what it is now or even less? It will be disastrous for them, but fansubbers don't stake their livelihood on speedsubbing anymore so they're actually in a position to make a comeback if/when the bubble pops.

>>152055297
Long live simulcasts.

>>152057071
>If a bunch of studios close and the number of seasonal shows is cut down to like a third of what it is now or even less?
I mean, you're not wrong, but this is kind of a basic danger of their trade. If you work by translating media and that media industry suddenly implodes, you have trouble, yes. I don't think that would lead to fansubbers taking over, though, because there's no reason CR (or some replacement, if they happened to go bankrupt) wouldn't just regress to a smaller operation to deal with the smaller number of shows. Unless anime becomes incredibly fucking niche in the West, there's pretty much no reason some company wouldn't always capitalize on this established market in an era where everyone watches their TV online.

>>152056953
You can't handle [gg].

[gg] had a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for fansubs and you curse [elitistags]. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know, that fansubbing's death, while tragic, probably saved anime. And [gg]'s existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves anime! You don't want the truth, because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want [gg] on that wall. You need [gg] on that wall.

>>152057071
>Speedsubbing was mostly about epeen anyway.
I'm hoping you said mostly because you get that some of us simply don't want to spend all week on it, yes? We could release sooner (and shoddier) too, but for me it's always been about wherever you decide to balance between time commitment, perfectionism, and a quick release.

>>152057071

>What will they do when the anime bubble pops? If a bunch of studios close and the number of seasonal shows is cut down to like a third of what it is now or even less?

Only about a third of less of every season is watchable and who is to say that the majority of CR subscribers tune in for more than 5 shows.

That might not be an option depending on how Japan reacts to a contraction of the industry. if, for example, they decide to jack up the price of licenses on the seasonal shows that remain then CR's balls are gonna be in a vice.

hilarious, simulcasting of all shows airing in japan when?

>>152057990
>if, for example, they decide to jack up the price of licenses on the seasonal shows that remain then CR's balls are gonna be in a vice.
They wouldn't jack them up to a point that no one would buy, though, for obvious reasons. Unless they can make more off of licensing a fraction of their shows for a lot each than licensing all of them for a little each, which seems pretty unlikely.

>>152057580
Having a large selection of new titles is good for the convenience store effect. People go into the store maybe looking for one specific thing, but then they see all these other products while they're looking for their one thing and end up walking out with a 4 or 5 things. It's the logic behind putting a side bar or related video feed at the end of a video. But yeah CR could stand to lose a large chunk of their library and not suffer too much because it's mainly just super popular shit and longrunners that they depend on for subscriptions. But when the pool of anime shrinks the competition becomes more fierce, and Japan is likely to up the prices.

>>152058088
>They wouldn't jack them up to a point that no one would buy
Being so expensive you can't afford it and being so expensive it's no longer profitable to buy it are two different things.

>>152057524
I said mostly because I know fansubbers are, like their name suggests, fans. Meaning personal interest plays a large part in determining what they pick up. I doubt somebody would tolerate sitting there timing subs for a show they hate (unless they work for Commie) so they have to have some modicum of interest in the shows being picked up. But during the height of speedsubbing it was undeniably mostly fueled by epeen. Who could get their release out the fastest and therefore get the most praise and downloads.

>>152056724

>don't get simulcasts (this season is LWA

You can blame Netflix for that. They throw around exorbitant amounts of money to secure streaming rights. CR would most definitely have picked it up if they were not interested.

>>152058121
What? How does that matter? They sell at market price, that's that. They won't jack the price up beyond what CR/Funi/whoever are willing to pay, and nothing else matters.

Why would anyone do that. There are few that sub while airing and don't race HS. Then there are others that sub when funimation is taking too long. In the end its best to just learn Japanese since all subs suck.

>>152058659
This

Well I do sometimes notice difference in simple words, I bet it's even worse for a person who actually learned in japanese, not picked it up a bit from thousands of hours of anime.

>>152065948
>In the end its best to just learn Japanese since all subs suck.
I have resigned myself to this fate. It's not even that bad once you get over initial laziness.

>>152058757

The thing that irks me the most is when subbers take 13-episode show, do 8, 9 episode, then stop and next season they grab new shows.
I understand some of them are doing it for free, but if you are not going to finish it, why even start it? For who are you subbing and why? Aren't there more productive things they could do with their time?

tl;dr you are legally retarded.

>>152057071
No, the quality will drop. Just look at the quality Funi and Daisuki provides.

CR's real problem is that they can't keep up the quality because the supply of motivated slaves from former fansub groups has dried up. They have to hire "professional" translators, which are either shit, or fucking expensive.

Official translated prose tends to be trash as well, you have to be very intelligent to translate Japanese within the authors intention. It's almost a good thing lns are just low brow pulp anyway

There isn´t much of a need anymore, CR picks up about half of everything each season with Funi getting the last few.
There are probably maybe 1 or 2 hows a year that are worth watching without an official sub.

That group just takes translations from other groups and slaps them on BD rips.

The only niche that fansubbing still has is obsessive kids anime fans

Yugioh 5 has had three main groups dominate speedsubbing at different points, NACsubs, MonoSubs and Pot of Subs, each taking the viewership of the last when they became too slow. Two extra groups started since the raws became harder to track, Yurifag and Yoshida, so there are now five groups working on their own versions, three of them speedsubbers.

Digimon's CakeSubs took a week's vacation for christmas and Waffle Subs filled the void. There are now two groups working on it simultaneously, Cake and Waffle

Pokemon 7 only just started, but there are at least three groups on Nyaa already.

All this and no Galko-chan OVA subs.

>>152055297
>What happened to subgroups?
There was a "Cartel" formed that wanted fansubs done their elitist way. Those groups that refused to join the cartel were shut out of raws distribution or not allowed to distribute. These highly political tactics occurred when the cartel convinced raw providers to join them and of course cartel members were running nyaa torrent site. That cartel bullshit was also why Tokyo Toshokan was attacked. The cartel didn't want any alternatives to exist outside of their controlled nyaa.

By eliminating alternatives, that solidified their control on the fansubbing scene to ensure things were done their way and met their quality requirements. Even to this day, some sub groups' releases are not on nyaa.

Tokyo Toshokan
www.tokyotosho.info

So the waning of fansub groups existed before horriblesubs really came to power. As one poster said "The cartel extended its tentacles and absorbed every relevant subgroup while killing minor ones." Any new minor groups starting out would get attacked for quality issues. Thus those groups wouldn't have any breathing room to continue and get better, so they quit. Eventually, that attitude by the Cartel killed off new fansubbers, and as Cartel members got older and also quit, the knowledge of fansubbing disappeared as well since there were no new groups to pass the torch to.

Then Crunchyroll got bought out for 80 million by an investment group. So the creators of the once fansub site moved on and made their fortune. That wouldn't happen for the Cartel though. CR got better with the infusion of media resources the investment group and after a few months, CR output ramped up and the quality improved a great deal.

Horriblesubs is basically a ripped copy from Crunchyroll. Apparently, Crunchyroll streaming quality is more than good enough for the fans and anime consumers out there. It is worth subscribing to.

You pretty much described every season before 2010, and they were completely fine then.

And you do realize they have more than just anime, right? Manga, doramas etc, and they recently signed a deal with WWE. If you look at the long term, CR would be one of the last to fall if the bubble is ever going to break. Especially considering that anime itself is already one of the last that is likely to break

This is somewhat scary to me. I feel as HorribleSubs has basically most series covered (even the shitty ones). I remember having a schedule of about 6 different fansub websites to search for a series or two in their pages and having to check every day to see what was getting released.

I really dont give 2 shits about CrunchyRoll

A native speaker would deduce that you're parroting from an anime since the phrase, while grammatically correct, would never normally be used as an introduction because it sounds pretentious.

>>152076628
It's not acceptable in polite conversation, and in casual conversation it's mostly humorous. "Dignified overtone" doesn't mean you sound respectable when you use it. "It is I" has a dignified overtone and is in fact proper English, but you still cringe when someone says that instead of "it's me."

"color of speaker's hair" hardsubs were worse

Back in the early 2Ks when I was trying to watch fansubs of Galaxy Angel on a (gasp) real fucking TV set, over S-video, the low chroma resolution caused them to be completely unreadable anywhere they overlapped the hair.

Also fansubbers would go all the way to the very edge of the screen (fucking overscan) or tiny lettering because the hikki subbers only ever watched it on a 1024x768 monitor six inches in front of their face.

And don't get me started about the codec wars. Fucking "codec of the week club" sub groups who would always use the latest alpha version of encoders that decoded like shit on anything more than a month old.

>>152077040
I've been working on it for three-odd years, but after the first year my passion waned and it's been extremely slow-going since then. I can read up to around a low to middle level, but I haven't been able to break past that yet. At this point the only sign that I'm still in it is that I haven't given up on Anki.

>>152077040
Learning a language is admirable, but trying to do it without living in the place is very difficult. Yeah we can grind our runes and then read low level kanji manga in Shonen Jump, but it's still quite a hurdle to do just to read some porn vns or manga raws. I'll do it myself one day, I had to stop very soon after I began because I realized I wouldn't have been able to do it while also studying in college.

>>152055297
What do you think happened to them? There's a new sub-industry completely centered around subbing shows as fast as possible after they air, they can't compete on speed any more and the majority of people in fansub groups are attention-hungry faggots who would rather not do anything if they don't get e-peen from everyone downloading their subs first.

I still watch most of my shows fansubbed, I just wait. Lots of BDs, OVA, and old anime are fansubbed too, so really, HS is only relevant for like the last 4 or 5 years worth of shows, and even most of those had fansubs.

>>152057931
You could probably read most manga after about 200 hours of studying, you could easily do that much in a summer.

Someone usually steps up and fixes shitsubs when they occur, like Stella no Mahou last season. As long as people are still willing to do that then it's all good.

Netflix, Amazon or similar could potentially fuck it all up if they wanted to though. Imagine if Netflix decided to outbid CR on every show.

I stopped reading manga scanlations after I learned enough Japanese to get by, because it made me realize how horrible most manga scanlations are. I'm talking like they somehow manage to twist the meaning of a sentence so it's the complete opposite of what it really means. And this happens more frequently than you'd think, because so many scanlators for popular manga are chinese who can't read kana and translate off of kanji.

>>152076840
The only reason mangaka seem to mysterious and unreachable is because we simply lack the translations to learn more about them. The Naoki Urasawa Manben TV show is a tiny spec of light into an untapped 'market' for fan subbers. It's a shame.

>>152082165

Speaking of which, Habanero Scans needs help translating the Manben episodes. A new season starts soon. The episodes come with paraphrased subs, too, if your listening comprehension isn't too good.

>>152082129
It's the same as translating the dialogue to "lolz"

>>152082599

Canon Tenchi Muyo is out. People who dubbed Ai commercials refuse to sub it because he picked them all...

No subs a month and a half later. What the actual fuck.

There are a decent about of BD-only groups these days. But rarely do they actually add much over the original release. They all depend on fansubs existing in the first place for typesetting and song translations.

The fansubbing scene being much more dead than usual will only have full impact in about a year, when none of the anime from this season will have BD releases. There will be nothing even worth archiving.

>>152081760

Especially since you only need to translate them once in most cases. It's not even a good use of laziness. I'd rather the previews not be subbed every week than have every single episode with the same OP/ED not have subs for them.

No, you wouldn't see difference even with that since they are encoding 8bit video source

10bit anime has better compression since it often has a lot of flat color surfaces with some gradients which are supposedly better encoded in 10bits. Live action stuff may actually get bigger in file size in 10bit. That's roughly it.

Also, you got called newshit because this shit was floating around the board since the beginning of 10bit transition. It doesn't help you can google this shit in 5 seconds too.

That's exactly the problem. If someone was actually laughing hard, it would make sense. As it is in the image, it's essentially the same as someone saying a joke and the subs for the response reading "I'm crying" when the person isn't - it's a *wrong* translation, even if the intent is the same.

Similar shit goes for when anyone writes "try and" or "go and" for virtually anything in subs or manga translation. It's fucking wrong, no matter how much you want to claim that it's right because it's 'modern English'. You have never 'tried and done' something in your life, but you've sure 'tried to do' something.

Notice how even very popular shows like YOI didn't get fansubs. UFO fansubs aren't done yet either.

I wish more of them would work on Light Novels/Webnovels instead. The faggots trying to be translators by editing machine translations infuriate me. The worst shit is when you're reading several chapters of something done by a respectable translator, then it gets dropped, and some Google Translate faggot picks it up and posts it in some retarded format like Google Docs or a blog with no chapter navigation. It's a shame the gap between understanding spoken Japanese and written Japanese is so large. If Kanji didn't exist, I'd probably be completely fluent.

In truth, I could probably watch anime raw or even become a decent fansubber myself, I simply choose not to, because it's a lot more work than people think. I timed some anime episodes once, thinking I would sub some shit and give back to the community, but I lost my patience before I even completed two episodes. You really don't know how much bullshit they have to put up with until you try it yourself. I could translate webnovels by converting the Kanji to Romaji with Mecab, but I would miss a lot of the word play and references that go along with Japanese, so why bother?

I love official subs.

>>152087665
What about Shinsen

>>152083870
Interesting. Everything I got my hands on had subs like those in that image and were usually mistimed. Much unlike your previous image which looks rather neat and tidy.

Did CR and therefore HS absorb GG? Their translations are often wrong and filled with shitty memes.

You have no idea how right you are. I initially wanted to do it but was busy subbing a series last season and figured someone else would beat me to the punch. After the season ended and there were still no subs for it, I decided to rewatch OVA3 since I hadn't seen it since originally watching it a decade ago. It was even worse than I remembered and killed all motivation to work on OVA4.

Sorry, not my fault that the series turned to shit.

The replacing isn't happening.

Actual subs are nearly dead. Azumanga was released on BR last year and they never even put Jap subs on it. Someone had to put the old ones on and release it on nyaa. Don't they have deaf people in Japan?

>>152082119
mostly true

>>152090378
maybe it's because the BDs are garbage

How does one become a "Trusted Uploader" on NT?

Seriously, I checked the site myself just now and there's absolutely no information about the selection process, leading me to believe that it's entirely based on the admin's cronyism. Does anyone have experience that would suggest otherwise?

>>152091019
Yes, that's what I meant by "cronyism." I'm just surprised that it was so immediately obvious the moment that I looked into this. They could put some total bullshit on the FAQ page about how trusted uploaders are selected but apparently can't even be bothered with that. This is the most direct evidence of the existence of a real cartel that I've ever seen.

Manga scanlators are literally the scummiest group in the western pirate community.

The vast majority of anime BDs don't have any captions at all.

it's something like 30+ good uploads, all required to be 10-bit. if you sub anime you probably won't get anything other than a brony icon mocking you in the comment section

They just grew old, got real jobs and in a relationship with a 3D human.

Reminds me of the good old days where the OP/ED translations would change from week to week as subbers slowly figured out what the fuck was being sung.

Making subs for shows, that's all. 4chan is actually really productive compared to other websites, both in anime and manga, largely because cliques don't form. The only barrier to entry is skill, and we encourage people to acquire skills and do work for things they like.

>>152100095
>we encourage people to acquire skills
Except learning Japanese

>>152100173
We do tell people to learn Japanese, sarcastically.

>>152055297
Crunchyroll subs are a lot better than what they were 7 years ago, and in some cases are better than fansubs (I'm thinking back to KimiUso where Commie subbed "do you want to commit lover's suicide?" as something different)

>strike witches ovas never got real subs
>saki ova from a while ago never subbed
>triage x ova subbed by some pinoy group
>shokugeki no soma ova only subbed on streaming sites
>bikini warriors ova not subbed

why is this allowed?

>>152100951
>allowed
Because nobody's obliged to sub it.
Because you still haven't learn moon.

>finish subbing shows 3 months after they aired or never

>all these EOPs expecting people who spent time learning Japanese to translate for you
I could translate but fuck spending hours translating something for free, especially when people expect you to do it as soon as the show airs

>>152100951
>bikini warriors ova not subbed
Is that the 13th episode cause that one got subbed.

What actually isn't getting subs this season?

RX did the first box, but he later confirmed that that was just a relapse and he won't finish the rest. I know BunnyHat said that they wanted to do it, and RightStuf will eventually officially release it I guess. I want to finish learning moon and reading RX's guides so I can work on putting out deliciously grainy and non-crabstick subtitled Chinese cartoons

The good old days.

>>152067039
You have to recognize that 4chan, and /a/ especially, is a place of social rejects who have flourished in this environment because anime has always been so far removed from the social norm. It was our own little cozy bubble of colorful annie maes and moeblobs, and most of us who are conscious of our autism, do our best to conceal it and generally shy away from being the "Anime club guy" - even comic book stores snub us and avoid being associated with us weeaboos, for god's sake.

Anime has for years been a social anathema, so yes - I'm utterly confounded that somehow anime simulcasting has become a profitable business. As much as I want to REEEEE at them to get out, I'm too bewildered by something that unexpected having happened.

>>152100951
I can maybe explain that. I believe there are much more people who could translate things that have no subs, but have no interest to do so. If some is able to translate that means one does not need subs. So why be part of the subbing community? Most anime fans who reached a hig enough level of Japanese abbandon the fansubbing scene since they have no further use for it.

>>152087665

>>152055297
I've always wondered if the relative "autism" regarding the quality of the translations that some fanbases seem to have turned fansubbers off. o matter how good a job they did, there was always someone going
>THEY DIDN'T MEAN X THEY MEANT Y REEEEEEEEEE

>There are people who didn't just learn moon then move to Japan
The western anime fanbase is complete shit, and I hate almost all of them. This realization has led me to slowly drop things I work on bit by bit. Can't wait till I'm entirely free.

Do yourself a favor and just start studying.

>>152082911
afaik a lot of "CR's" subs are actually provided by the distributor, like an Aniplex show will be subbed by Aniplex's people and not CR's people etc. That's why it's inconsistent.

For the most part the more attention they got the larger their e-peen got. So much so that you get groups like Commie and gg who would purposely make people mad.
Only the really small groups end up getting put off as they are less likely to be doing for growing their e-peen.
