What the actual heck is up with the blatant nepotism in fansubbing?

they have microdicks so they compensate on the internets

theyre not in danger of dying. real groups are already dead, killed off by Crunchyroll rippers and shekel peddlers. The "donations plox! ^^;" meme is just a shekel scam.

This is the reason why I, for one, welcome our CR overlords. Fansubbing is a complete shitshow as it is and there is no reason it should exist as the donations-grabbing failure it is now.

I don't see how that's relevant. If their subs are The Best™ for the episodes they've done then those episodes will be blue.

>>152956109
You could buy the BDs or the figures to ACTUALLY support the industry.

>>152955814
Yeah, but I think they got rid of Kristen who was the main reason the cartel was anti-Chihiro. Honestly it's all very "school playground"-esque drama.

>>152956133
It's all overpriced bullshit. $150 for a piece of plastic which doesn't even look all that great? Fuck that. Crunchyroll at least is actually affordable.

>>152956161
Yeah but CR doesn't actually support the industry either.

>>152956116
That's the thing. They aren't even the best. Chyuu did a superior job in less time yet because Daiz is all buddy-buddy with Chihiro he blue them, despite their slow and mediocre releases.

The stupid person is the one who is dumb enough to buy a shitty figurine instead of something with actual value.

>>152955294
On one hand, without CR we would have never got a lot of the anime we got, especially something like Rakugo. On the other hand, often they do a poor job and they don't translate everything, so we do need fangroups.

I feel like the dudes at White Fox looked at where the manga was going and went "Fuck this. We're writing our own ending." I'm thankful to them for it, at least it meant it ended instead of having to draw it out for another two years.

>>152956330
So if you see value in the digital releases, why not simply torrent those releases? HS might just be crunchyroll but it's the same shit that CR would be releasing for a monthly fee.

>hurr I'm not poor I want to support the industry
Then buy the BDs, buy the figs, buy the manga, buy the LNs?

>>152956330
So what value do you see in using shitty streaming service instead of downloading?

>>152956330
Then why don't you just shove the money up your ass? Holy shit. This guy.

>>152956249
Rakugo? That would have been easily subbed..

>>152955433
Fansub groups killed fansubbing by acting like teenaged girls.
When they do finally sub something, they need to make it "theirs" by taking creative liberties with the subs, changing them to things they think are funny. Remember that time Herkz came here and posted about how he sincerely believes that the average human being talks like 4chan users type?

gg was the A+ release for Hyouka for the longest time despite dropping it like 1/3 into the series.

>>152956801
Fansub groups died on their own because HS releases fast as fuck with more or less acceptable quality - not optimal but at least they actually finish the series on time and not half a year later. People still download fansub groups after the fact sometimes but the mere existence of HS means they have an uphill battle.

>>152956801
>Fansub groups killed fansubbing by acting like teenaged girls.
No, simulcasting killed fansubbing by making it semi-redundant and reducing the audience drastically.

>>152956849
>>152956850
Right, they were so quickly and easily overtaken because they're slow, act like complete faggots and pump out bullshit.

>>152956904

oh geez, I wonder why everyone downloads HS and why CR is a thing
they just can't compete, can they?

What I find lame is that some things go completely unsubbed or are left to inexperienced one man groups while some show on CR has three different groups working on it. There was a short show a while ago called Suzakinishi that's still unsubbed, two groups picked it up and both stopped (up to episode 4). Last season's Idol Memories is up to episode 7 thanks to some guy called Thundra-Subs. The new Seitokai Yakuindomo OVAs aren't getting subbed at all. And so on.

I like better typesetting and chapter markers and shit, but they aren't THAT important.

>>152957148
Yeah it's terrible
Especially when there's more than one group on a single series that CR already has, I mean sure if FFF picks up a series that CR has that's fine but when FFF and Damedesuyo and whatever all pick it up I'm just, can't you find better targets that won't get subbed if you don't do it?

>>152957148
>The new Seitokai Yakuindomo OVAs aren't getting subbed at all
Is it the complexity/speed of the dialog that puts fansubbers off in this case? Sucks, I'm not smart enough to get fluent in moon.

>>152954670
Why would you go to nyaa? You're literally drinking Daiz's piss as he hand picks the "good" groups.

Just use TT like a normal person. Or go directly to the site of whatever group you prefer.

>>152957234
Translating something and being fluent in it are different
Like you can easily be fluent but not want to bother with translating because it's a fucking hassle and it's not even like LNs where fundamentally it comes down to just rewriting, no here you have to write up sub scripts, time them, etc.
It's a massive pain in the arse

>>152957257
>TT
what

>>152957234
If I'm not mistaken, the first season was fansubbed and there was no simulcast. Several OVAs got fansubbed too.

Does anyone use Shana Project? I bookmarked it once when both nyaa and TT went down but never used it since then.

You're right about all of this, but Doki is a very bad group. I'm glad Nyaa doesn't allow them.

>>152957656
>I'm glad Nyaa doesn't allow them.
Since when?

Fansubbing died with Hadena bullying.

>>152957684
Very long time ago. Multiple years at this point. If I remember correctly it wasn't even because of their sub quality (at least, on the surface) but because one of them threw a tantrum and started spamming garbage torrents.

>>152957148
Even worse about Idol Memories, the dude doesn't sub half the episode because it's the seiyuu talking.

Damn it, I want more subbed interviews and stuff. I find them really interesting.

>>152957683
Didn't Coalgirls die recently too?

>>152957716
No, one person in Doki (who is no longer in Doki) tried to fuck up Nyaa.

>>152957148
The shows that don't get any subs usually are shit and don't have many fants to begin with. Idol Memories, for example, is garbage.

You are in a very small minority. Most don't care about that stuff. Simple economics: low demand, low interest.

>>152957643
Shana Project is basically an RSS front-end for TT.

>>152957777
>SYD OVAs are shit

>>152957802
Fansubbing generally doesn't operate off economics, since they do it for free.

>>152957814
I didn't mean real economics. I meant that if interest is low, not many people are going to want to work on it, just like in an economiy if demand for something is low the ineterest of making that something is also low (unless those interested pay a lot of money).

>>152957802
Are you the real DmonHiro?

Touhou anime has lousy fansubbing coverage too. I thought Touhou was more popular than that.

>>152957777
This post perfectly illustrates why I'm glad fansubbing has been replaced by official translations. Fansubbers are an elitist minority trying to decide the opinion of the majority. Crunchyroll, meanwhile, provides subs regardless of the perceived quality of the show. Things are different when you're a business and personal feelings don't get in the way.

Your logic is retarded anyway. Hyouge Mono took years to get subs but when it finally did, people loved it. The people who require subs can't become fans unless the show, you know, actually has subs.

>>152957978
Merely having a preference doesn't make someone elitist. You certainly aren't entitled to the labor of other people.

>>152957942
Huh? The few Touhou anime that even exist have been subbed pretty quickly in my experience, just not by any of the big groups.

>>152958066
>>152957942
>touhou anime
Touhou has anime? What?
You mean the doujin OVAs?

>>152958066
The Memories of Phantasm series is up to episode 6 or 7 now but the fansub situation is a clusterfuck. Sealed Esoteric History appears to have no fansubs.

>>152958143
>doujin stuff don't get subbed
More news at 11.

>>152958028
I'm not making the claim I'm entitled to it, I'm simply tearing apart the flimsy logic that these people use to justify their preferences. I'm happy to pay an official service when it means shows are subbed without bias.

I've seen it happen all too frequently that someone in the fansubbing scene calls a show crap while it's being lauded by many circles. I do not trust these people to decide "what we should watch" so it is an enormous relief to me that thanks to Crunchyroll, many shows receive quality translations regardless of their input. I can choose for myself what I want to watch and enjoy, thank you very much.

Sure but what about the shows that CR doesn't sub, or movies / BDs / OVAs?
And no, you don't get it. It's not that the fansubbers try to decide what you should watch but that they're not interested in the show so they're not going to sub it. I might sub Youjo Senki or Maidragon but I sure as hell ain't doing Handshakers or elDlive because I'm not interested in those shows so I'm not going to donate my effort to subbing them. You're demonizing fansubbers who simply do the things they like.

>>152958160
Touhou's popular, there's no official subs, and plenty of people translate doujinshi, so you'd think the fansub situation would be better than it is. There's plenty of people available for making karaoke for simulcasts though.

>>152958196
It is, but you'd never know it by looking at it. It also got a voiced version with seiyuu like Hanakana.

>>152958241
You get those few translations in the first place because 2hu is popular, seriously though look around, what other franchise has fanmade anime AND translation for them?

>>152958197

>>152958275
Touhou even gets all those random video game spinoffs translated. Like barely any of the actual SRWs are translated but Touhou SRW is because it's Touhou. It's an impressive fanbase.

>>152958216
Fansubbers lost all right to "do the things they like" when they started saying "Give us donations or else we will die!" That's why it's sickening when they whine that people have expectations of them, as if they aren't being paid for their service. And it's not even solely about them refusing to do shows. That much is understandable, to a degree. It's also about them committing to a show and then whining about it every step of the way.

They're all a bunch of petulant children who have never grown up.

>>152958519
That's utterly irrelevant to anything I just said.

>>152958216
>Sure but what about the shows that CR doesn't sub, or movies / BDs / OVAs?
Also, many of these get R1 releases. CR was just an example. There are many forms of official translations that pick up for fansubbers' slack.

The first anon is right, as long as you actually want it and read into it a bit and gather some experience, you can learn quite a lot from anime alone, depending on what you watch.
I have two friends speaking fluent japanese in a limited extend, so daily convo only, and they have never written a Hiragana in their lives.

Japanese is also quite an easy language as long as you don't want to write or read it.

>>152958540
I don't see how. If you're fatigued from arguing you can just admit it.

>>152958580

That's already non-trivial fluency anon.

>>152958588
I don't see any relevance to my point. I can't argue against your points because you're off on a tangent. You're attacking the subbers as people or something, and I can't argue against that because I don't laze about in the IRC or whereever you're hearing this stuff from.

>>152958545
>implying BDs or OVAs get official subs uploaded
Right obviously if they get english subbed releases, that's different. Movies too, but that ain't always true. Actually until recently it was almost never true.

>>152958519
Why do people even care about all this drama shit anyway? Seriously I just download whatever gets dropped on nyaa and don't even know what the webpage of those groups even look like.

>>152958580
You're right to an extent. I took some Japanese classes back in college but didn't pursue the language after that, so as a result I can usually follow shows well enough to know whether a translation is accurate. But my understanding is imperfect so I still like use subs, especially since translations often embellish upon the original dialogue in ways that enhance the writing. Kanji is some real bullshit and it's a lot easier to understand the spoken word than the written word.

>>152958519
>when they started saying "Give us donations or else we will die!"
Are there groups really saying that?

It seems like when donations and crowdfunding became widespread a lot of people suddenly started having problems doing things that were previously done as a hobby or with their own money, as if suddenly they just didn't have the money they needed.

>>152958668
Not him and I don't know about groups doing that but I think it's like
When you're doing something for free and suddenly you have the chance to make money, some people will take it

>>152958664
>kanji is some real bullshit
Kanji actually makes Japanese like ten times easier to read in my experience

>>152958668
Commie does it all the time. What's worse is that there are actually people who like Commie enough to support them.

>>152958686
Well Commie is meme shit anyway

>>152958668
It's kind of understandable for manga translation since buying magazine/tanks and scan them costs actual money, what do anime subbers even use the money for beside running their own website and their own ass?

>>152958684
>Kanji actually makes Japanese like ten times easier to read in my experience
Only because Japanese people haven't heard of this wonderful concept called putting spaces between separate words. If they did that it really wouldn't be necessary. Kanji characters are just way too fucking complex to memorize compared to hiragana and katakana. Look at the English alphabet. 26 letters, 52 if you count capital letters, and it's used in many languages on top of that. Meanwhile there are over a thousand fucking kanji. Whose stupid idea was this?

>>152958744
The chinks, it's always the chinks.

>>152958744
Alphabets are evolved from syllabaries while kanji (and therefore ultimately kana) are evolved from ideographs and composite ideographs. Two different language systems.

>spaces between seperate words
English and sometimes even Latin also lacked spaces for quite a while anon.

If you learn the kanji they're clean as fuck and not at all complicated, considering you can still break them down into chunks.

>>152958744
>Kanji characters are just way too fucking complex to memorize
Lad I don't think they're much different from English spelling
Chinks and nips get along just fine using the things so obviously it's not a big deal. The former use over 10k of the things on a regular basis. Compared to that, the 2.5k of Japanese are kind of a trifle.
The really obscure ones that even most nips don't know are like the big words most native English speakers aren't familiar with.

So normie with disposable income here that mildly watches anime.

Why exactly doesn't CR support the industry? I buy a year and just watch shows every now and then when I have free time. I use it like netflix or amazon video basically. I have a buddy that's super into this stuff though and he lets me share his plex, and he swears by fansubbers and I believe him. The subs generally seem to be pretty good and usually it's shows that aren't on CR.

I know someone brought up a point about buying BDs and figs, and I have a few here and there. So how is one form supporting the industry, but another doesn't really? Is it just the money goes directly to the publishers instead of some 3rd party?

>>152958624
They ARE people, which is vital to the point I've been arguing from the start. I don't see why this wouldn't factor in. Because they're people, they let their biases and elitism seep into their fansubbing decisions. Crunchyroll is a company. It doesn't have that problem because it is driven by business deals.

As for the second part, it doesn't matter if they're "uploaded." That's why you buy those releases and support unbiased translations. Not everything is covered, but a steadily increasing amount is. Eventually it all will be, and that is when I will celebrate the long-awaited death of fansubbers.

>>152958879
>I don't see why this wouldn't factor in
Because they're people therefore they're not subbing for you? Do you know how entitled you sound? You're basically saying that these people who are subbing shit on their free time aren't subbing literally everything and the things you want so they're assholes and deserve to fuck off.
It's not elitism, it's personal preference. It's not bias, it's that they do things for free and on their own time. No don't give me the donations spiel, donations are donations, they're not mandatory. If they fuck off because nobody is giving them donations that's on them.

Lad I'm not going to go through the whole spiel but think of it this way
In one version you're going through a middleman who's licensed the shows already.
In another version the only real middleman is the vendor selling shit for the studio.
Which one gives the studio a better cut?

>>152958924
Please, even your basic SoL shit usually has a ton of wordplay shit that nips love, that subbers can't even translate properly, let alone some basement autist who thinks he knows japanese by watching chinese cartoon.

>>152958924
You can watch it, you just won't get every little joke, just like a middle schooler can read Hamlet.
Also SoL shit tends to have a lot of Japanese-only puns and wordplays that you can't understand quite so easily.

>>152958945
The studio doesn't necessarily get anything. They are often just contractors.

>>152959049
That depends on the contract, if the studio's producer is part of the production committee then they do get profits from BDs and merchs.

>>152959046
Half of hamlet's jokes are literally the early modern period equivalent of elaborate Your Mom jokes.

>>152957755
There were two things. First Doki was repeatedly posting hentai to the SFW frontend instead of Sukebei where it belonged. After repeated deletions of failing to follow this simple rule they lost their trusted status.

Then there was the other thing. Doki had a member called Power2All, who happened to run his own tracker called AniRena. Now, Power2All really hated Nyaa, and had been very vocal about it. So one day Nyaa gets an e-mail forwarded to him about a complaint made in an attempt to take down Nyaa's domain, and the e-mail happened to come from... [email protected]. So, when confronted about this, he made up some bullshit about how "his email was hacked", and here's the kicker: the rest of the Doki staff defended him. So when you have a group member attack NT and the rest of the group covering up for him, well, that's how you get banned from the site in question.

As for why they haven't been unbanned, this all happened years ago yet they still insist to this day that "Power2all did nothing wrong", and as such, they remain banned. Frankly, they seem to enjoy playing the martyr with this so they probably have no interest in getting unbanned anyway, especially considering they've never asked for it.

>>152958945
Okay, so with fan subs and piracy, japan doesn't get anything at all from the consumer?
Unless they buy the BDs, which helps sales of the show, or figures, which is like merchandise or something? And they get some money off of merch like anywhere else?

But with CR, you give your money to CR, and..? They like have a deal with studios to show them online, but CR gets the bigger slice of the pie per se?

>>152958945
It's not just donations. You realize they make money off ad revenue from their sites, downloads, etc.? This is a job for them, the only reason they don't treat it like one is because they haven't grown the fuck up. Herkz is particularly guilty of this, to the extent that when he got an actual job for Frontwing they fired his ass because he didn't know how to fucking shut his mouth and started shit talking the company on Twitter and IRC.

So /a/ says you're literally satan. What do you do again? Run Fakku and nyaa?

>>152959128
iirc usually it works like
CR gives money to the studios for the right to license their shows and show it. You watching it or not does not change the price of the license, only CR's profit margin. At most, if a lot of new people pay for subscriptions, CR is able to afford more series.
Blu-Rays, figures, and other merc like dakis are what actually makes money for the studio or show directly. Buying LNs and tanks may or may not give money to the author / mangaka depending on the specific contract.

>>152959130
>downloads
>implying they get money when I download from TT
Am I retarded? Do they actually make money when I go to nyaa, TT or Shana to download their shit? How?

>>152959177
Do you not understand how torrent clients work? Seriously?

>>152959125
I don't like you and your bald ass but I do appreciate the explanation.

>>152959189
I...can you tell me how they can possibly make money from me if I'm using qbitorrent to download their shit? Or hell just for the sake of it let's pretend I'm using utorrent or bittorrent with their shitty ads. Do they get a slice of those ads or some shit?

>>152959128
>But with CR, you give your money to CR, and..?

How the streaming industry works is that basically the Japanese production companies auction off exclusive rights between western companies. What the auction is based on is basically who is willing to pay the biggest "minimum guarantee" - a fixed per-episode cost to license the show for English streaming.

This cost is a lump sum they to Japan in advance of showing, and then they set out to recoup the costs. The deals also include paying revenue, but basically it works so that they don't pay revenue until they hit the point where they'd have paid the minimum guarantee in revenue, and after that will they start paying additional revenue to Japan from the show.

There's more to it than that but that's the basics. Paying CR does definitely support the industry, though I personally wouldn't recommend doing so unless you live in the US (where CR has the most licenses) and are okay with the quality of HorribleSubs releases as-is (since they're just direct CR rips most of the time).

>>152959168
>implying Fakku isn't literally Satan

>>152959128
CR pays for licenses, more people giving them money doesn't increase their costs or the money they send to Japan.

You buy merchandise, you're at the very least giving money to the production committee, and sometimes that will trickle down to the studio depending on their contract. With some anime, studios are in the committee already so you're definitely giving them money.

If you buy manga/LNs you're getting money to the author and editor, and if you buy it fairly soon after an adaptation you're increasing the boost the anime gave the source material and that publisher will be more likely to give the studio better works in the future, so it's an indirect benefit for them.

>>152959214
They don't make money from you torrenting.

>>152959242
Right that's what I thought.

>>152955843
Those things are functionally useless though.

>>152959283
>figs
>functionally useless
Also to be fair, if you can speak Japanese then the BDs, tanks, and LNs suddenly become extremely useful.

>>152959283
How are they anymore useless than digital release you can get for free?

>>152959261
Or do they?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQoRXhS7vlU

>>152959233
So then how does CR make money anyway? Isn't most of the stuff free, or only the newest episode is locked away for a week for subscription members? I thought paying for a subscrpition just took off ads?

Our does CR have way more subs than I actually thought?

>>152959388
CR makes most of their money from subscriptions no doubt. Yeah, episodes are available for free after a week with ads, but you're also limited to potato quality video (even lower than HS 480p). If you want HD video, you need to subscribe (not that their HD video is all that great either, mind you, especially with the recent bitrate halvings, but it's still way ahead of the free stream quality).

>>152959388
Paying for a subscription gives you 720p and 1080p, I believe.

>>152959425
>>152959433
I completely forgot you needed a sub for HD. Okay, yeah that makes a lot more sense then.

>>152956211
It's missing the Rothschilds, those fucking jews.

>>152959388
>>152959425
About the ads, adblockers have no trouble dealing with them so that reason isn't particularly enticing.

>>152959425
>especially with the recent bitrate halvings
Source on this? I haven't noticed any difference. Hell, Gabriel Dropout is better on HS than with fansubs.

>>152959476
You underestimate how many people don't bother with adblockers, even with how easy it is nowadays. Also, it's harder to block ads on other devices that CR has an app for, such as game consoles.

>>152959512
>Source on this? I haven't noticed any difference.

That's because they're still encoding with the old setup too, and HS is ripping those. However, if you're watching things with the new HTML5 player they rolled out on the actual site, you're getting their "New and Improved" encodes:

http://diff.pics/QiXd4SQOyzmI/1

So funnily enough you're getting better quality by pirating CR rips than actually watching legitimately on the site itself. Or rather, holy fuck that is pathetic CR you should be ashamed of yourself.

>>152959576
Second one actually looks better on new, but the first one is pretty bleh. That's kinda lame then, good thing for HS.

CR is for speed subs. Sub groups are for BD archives.

>>152959725
This

>>152959725
>>152959745
If they do the show. Concrete Revolutio was one of the greatest anime of 2015, yet look at its BD situation.

>>152959787
Yeah well
It's sad stuff to be honest, I'm currently studying nipponese so I can just buy the BDs

>>152959804
That's the way to go. If you want something done, the best way is to do it yourself.

Someday I'll personally do the BDs for shows that never got them. And be promptly shat on by the cartel, I'm sure.

>>152959871
Careful, Daiz is among us

>>152959787
>>152959804

Doki is definitely one of the better groups. Their encodes aren't bloated as fuck, and their scripts are usually just fine.

>>152958743
>What do anime subbers even use the money for beside running their own website and their own ass?
Buying BDs for bluray releases.

>>152960651
What? I don't usually say this, but is this bait? Their scripts are repetitive and stiff, British for no real reason, and full of grammatical errors.

>>152960750
Well they're a British group. Their grammar seems fine relative to any other group, though I usually only watch their BD releases. I'd rather take a stiff and repetitive script over a meme filled one.

>>152960846
I'd rather take neither and go with something superior: Choose DameDesuYo.

People speak fast, a lot of vocab, slang etc. Sounds like a Japanese saying English is easy because everyone talks to him like a baby.

SOL can actually be a bit harder than serious shows, because depending on the theme of the episode anything can pop up.

>>152961113
>>all non-British people are American
I'm arguing that all non-Americans English speakers use the Queens English, not Trumpeneese.

American English isn't the global default, anon. It isn't even the default in the conglomerate of states that butchered the Queens English in the first place.

You're probably too young to remember when the British empire ruled over half the world.

>>152961195
>3.5k to 4k

>You're probably too young to remember when the British empire ruled over half the world.
Mate are you like 100 years old or something?

Why do people hate CR so much? I mean, I remember in the early 2000s, I would watch everything from CR. Well back then it was free but you get the idea.

>>152961070
You're asking for a lot there. Compare them yourself if you're genuinely curious otherwise this will have to do:
https://fansub.co/koutetsujou-no-kabaneri/

British English is absolutely not the default. Name one country outside of the United Kingdom that uses "mum."

>>152961268
>watching on CR back when it was a pirate site

Well, you clearly have no standards whatsoever, so that should answer your question as to why with people who do have standards care.

>>152961268
Because CR used to be bad.
Now it's acceptable.
It's also the only decent option for simulcasts.

>>152961268
In the early 2000s Crunchyroll actually was just another streaming site like Kissanime, but with a more professional looking layout. Back then they just uploaded fansubs and stuff. So, that doesn't have any bearing on this discussion, unfortunately.

>>152961288
>Name one country

>>152961300
Oh, this is fucking rich coming from the man who runs a torrent site where people can illegally download anime.

>>152961332
The fuck? No they don't. Most Australians call their mother "YA CUNT"

>>152961340
The point about standards isn't related specifically to the fact that they were pirates back then, but rather the fact that their quality back then was worse than what they offer for free users today. It was utter garbage. Hell, they even halved the framerates in their encodes on purpose.

>>152961369
I'll be honest, I thought of oregon trail in 2014 or something and remembered it FHD full color with lifelike graphics

I'm not asking for a comparison site, I'm asking for you to give some lines that specifically stand out to you as better so I can understand where you're coming from with this opinion. That's why I only asked for a couple; I don't expect you to pore over the show or anything.

So pick some from that link, I guess. Why do you prefer Doki's subs here?

>>152961300
And what's so wrong about liking a pirate site? Without sites like that anime wouldn't be as popular. Hell, there are people on /a/ that would have never enjoyed anime as a hobby without them.

>>152955467

i'll pay you for convenience and predictability. if you can offer a clean, easy, torrent release on a public site on a regular schedule and you accept bitcoin then we are good to go. if you want me to go on usenet or some FTP server or IRC (and i say this as someone who uses and likes IRC), or if you want me to pay attention to somewhere besides the location the thing is posted for information about where/when it's posted, or -- worst of all -- if you're exercising any effort to control where others repost it, then you can absolutely fuck off and die.

>Do fansubbers really have the luxury to be giving each other preferential treatment when they're in danger of dying as it is

They can die. Fansubs were born to cover a necesity. Some people wanted to whatch anime but couldn,'t and some other people who liked anime too wanted to everyone to enjoy it as well, so they began to translate.

That necesity doesn't exist any more, everyone has access to anime so there shouldn't be a problem in fansubing dying.

If eventually we need it again we can just start translating anime again.

What never made sense was the retarded elitisms "muh version is better cause no honorifics" "honorifics are essential you baka gaijin", and people that got into subbing just to get their dick sucked ans just wants their names on credits.

>>152961483
The colors on Nyaa are actually really helpful aside from blue. For example, orange tells you that it's a reencode. But blue is literally just "This guy is friends with one of the staff so he gets a pretty color on his torrent". It has no reason to be there.

>>152961595
No excuse for anyone actually using the site back then when you could've just used torrents instead with none of the quality loss of CR's turd-tier re-encoding.

>>152961611
>Fuck's sake I still remember the fights in Eva as like ten times better than they actually were
That is a poor example. Eva's animation has aged remarkably well.

CR in 2008, everyone:

http://diff.pics/HB4j2uryauvm/1

>>152961565
Why is it bad quality? They were just a pirate site taking from other sites. Essentially they take from other people (i.e. you as an example) and post it in their site.

In fact, since CR was one of the more popular stream sites at the time, it helped fansubbing by making people more interested in anime, and letting more people become interested in fansubbing, in my opinion.

>>152961798
That brings back memories. I specifically remember checking out Akagi on Crunchyroll and it looked like that. I didn't care at the time because I was out and about back then so I put shit on my iPod and didn't care about quality, but I do remember it. So not everyone's memory is faulty.

Also, just to add, I genuinely do not understand how anyone can see Doki as the better choice in that screenshot. DDY's flows so much better.

It honestly blows my mind that Doki still has so many fans despite being exiled from Nyaa. How do people even FIND them, much less decide they're the better choice?

>>152961692
My grandma wanted to watch her chinese live action historical dramas and those arent available on torrents.

So much fucking content lost to copyright and licenses, its bullshit and I want old CR back.

Lord have mercy. I don't miss it. To be fair, pretty much all anime looked like that around that time. But still CR was good for being the youtube forum of the anime fansub community at the time.

>>152961268
I think a lot of people grew to hate it because they started charging for what used to be free. A lot of people called them sellouts for collabing with google and funimation. Quite honestly I think they're doing a fantastic job bringing anime to the west with speedy subs that aren't localized to death and HQ videos while staying faithful to it's core fanbase. It's just that fags like me refuse to pay for what we're used to getting for free.

>>152962080
We could start a betting pool on how fast you'd burn out.

>>152962117
I've been saying the same thing for years and I don't see how you could disagree. Whether you watch the first speedsubs out or wait for better quality releases, it has overall improved the situation in all regards.

And Youtube is a pretty decent site overall, and since we've been talking about video quality, it's better than CR in that department too.

>>152962172

Everybody says this but they never do it. Just stop being butthurt CR's getting shekels for something your lazy ass won't do.

>>152962172
Regardless of how fast you are, Crunchyroll secures deals that let them work on the subs before the show has even aired. You can't do it faster than them.

And I know we're just talking hypothetically here (unless you're a cartel fansubber who's mad about getting called out) but you'd have to offer proof of your capability as a translator after making a claim like that.

Do that Suzakinishi show that was mentioned earlier as being unsubbed. It's a short so if you can put your money where your mouth is it won't take you long to do.

Well, CR may have looked worse, but their quality wasn't considered bad back in what, 2006? 2007?

What actually is your argument? Because mine is that CR ultimately helped spread the popularity of anime and hence, gave us more people interested in fansubbing.

>>152962304

is it ok if i translate hayai as "zippidy zoowap"?

Helps to spell the title correctly if you're going to request it.

So as I thought, you're just memeing.

>their quality wasn't considered bad

Except that the quality was shit even for the time. Take a look at the screenshot comparison again, the first shot is from a fansub release from the same year. The framerate halving that CR did for their streams looked hideous in itself, and you got the absolutely horrible image quality on top of that.

And CR didn't do shit for fansubbing. I can tell you that as someone who was actually involved in fansubbing circles back then.

I can't give you any specific lines from some 1-episode comparison I made from a disappointing series 9 months ago.
From those screenshots, I prefer doki cause they're less wordy.
>DDY's flows so much better
I'd say DDY's lines are clunky in comparison.

>>152962225
I disagree because I dont care about your business bullshit and marketing/exposure to the west, I just care about a metric fuck ton of free content that was stripped away in order for people to become richer than they already are. Content that they didnt create, content that was uploaded by the userbase who were then told "give us money for creating us". Fuck you nigga. Streaming was about accessing content. The content is significantly less than it would be if they didnt go coporate. Streaming is worse than it was 10 years ago, masturbate about bitrates all you want.

>>152962443
"Free" content.

>>152962489
More free than it is today.

>>152962443
>I dont care about your business bullshit and marketing/exposure to the west

But I'm not talking about any of that, I'm talking about the simple fact of subbed anime availability. CR going legit is arguably the best thing to have ever happen in that regard. Any content that was "lost" (most of which you could've most likely gotten via torrenting just fine back then if you knew were to look) is miniscule in comparison to what they've provided over the years since.

>>152962427
They're less wordy to the extent that they excise meaning. "Less words" doesn't mean "good translation." And like I said, Doki's is just kind of clunky. Those are not natural sentences that a real person would say, they are sentences that an incompetent fansubber with a poor handle on the language would come up with.

>>152962425
I hate Commie just as much as the next guy but that would absolutely not be one of their subs.

Just stop talking shit about translation when you don't actually know Japanese.

>>152962504
I guess. Only in terms of anime though which is important, but CR also hosted a lot of content besides anime that is lost to the void forever basically. Its just scummy to bait and switch like that, which is what most start ups do nowadays I get it, but that model of abusing your users to create content, only to cut all of it and ask for 9 bucks a month feels wrong as fuck. Even if it resulted in more subbed anime.

You think anime wouldnt have been as popular/accessible as it is now if CR didnt go legit? I cant say youre wrong, but who knows.

>>152956927
You can't be faster than instant. CR gets the scripts ahead of air time and have the translation done by the time an episode airs. The fastest sub groups still take 24-48 hours.

>>152962715
Yeah but that just proves my point, it's a huge factor against all other subbing groups
Honestly those sub groups should just not compete on-air, focus on the ones nobody is subbing, and do the BRs when they come out. I mean I severely doubt anyone waits for FFF's version of Gabbu to watch it even if they're relatively fast.

>>152962671
Who really cares about anime being "popular" in the west though?

>>152962671
>You think anime wouldnt have been as popular/accessible as it is now if CR didnt go legit?

Yeah, definitely. Less shows would overall get subbed, and they'd get subbed slower. That's just how it goes when you're doing something as a hobby in your free time vs actually being paid for it and getting the materials in advance of airing.

>>152962788
Exactly, the only people who care are the people who make money off it. Thats why they want to restrict content unless they can profit from it. Fair enough, thats how the world works etc. But lets not kid ourselves that its better this way. Theres a difference between accepting reality and making excuses for it. Who cares if some seasonal shit isnt fansubbed? Subs dont even matter for half of them really. Sub the shit CR doesnt host, which is A LOT.

>>152962828
Good riddance to fansubbers.

>>152955294
I submited my self to the will of God And Mighty Ruler Crunchyroll, after they picked up Detective Conan.

Fansubers for 20 years coudnt provide good and intime subs for it, CR did. So Fansubbers can now fuck off.

>>152962997
>Sub the shit CR doesnt host, which is A LOT.
This
And honestly I don't think people are going to do a significantly better job subbing something like, say, Konosuba S2 than CR anyway, it's a waste of time and effort. If you want to do it do the BRs. Nobody is going to waste time downloading fansubs three days late after all the threads have passed.

>>152959576
Has CR ever tried to do anything to stop HS from ripping all their shows? Considering that they were production staff on Kiznaiver and Luluco, I would think they would take a harder stance on it.

>>152963112
How do you stop HS from ripping your shit though, literally anyone with a subscription can do it.

>>152962997
>>152963106
What are the A LOT of things Crunchyroll doesn't host? I cannot think of a single show they aren't subbing this season.

>>152963141
Isn't the manga for this on point anyway? It lagged for a while but I'm pretty sure we're up to date now

>>152963144
It's impossible to stop the actual process of ripping, however they could try to get HS or Nyaa taken down. That's what he means.

I assume they don't find it worth the effort.

>>152963191
Maybe HS is CR.

No idea why he wants to read the fucking manga anyway when there's a light novel. It's like choosing silver over gold.

That's what we need. Crunchyroll for light novels.

Nip literature is fucking horrible. I could read so many real books instead of an novel about some dude becoming a loli in WW1 europe.

>>152963228
>Crunchyroll for Light Novels
It's called Yen Press :^))))))))))))
I honestly wouldn't mind as long as they didn't try shutting down people whose translations are like ten volumes ahead already and killing all interest. More options don't hurt. That being said, they DO shut down people who are ten volumes ahead.
Also because in this case, the manga has great art and the LN is honestly a huge chore to read through, like there are sections of pseudointellectual slop that sound like he read wikipedia and that's it.

is h*rkz posting desuarchive screencaps pretending >she doesn't lurk yet

These official subs are nothing if there were no rippers to rip and upload those to trackers for free.

>>152963292

That sounds hilarious, got any specific examples?

>>152963263
>LNs are representative of the entire country's literature
Dumbshit.

>>152963383
I mean just the entire section on signalling theory for one and referencing the stanford prison experiment to write like ten pages about how humans have a role in society and all that
I mean I think it was on purpose because Tanya is literally a pseudointellectual fedoratipping psychopath but yeah

>>152963357
gay faglord can't even reply to us anonymously, nobody should give a fuck about the faggot Herkz.

Herkz is a prick. He keeps acting like he's "above" 4chan yet every time his name is mentioned he always seems to see the post and make a whiny tweet about it. It's like he literally goes into the archives daily and searches his name.

Then again, I suppose people who do that can become president, so who knows. 4D chess, am I right?

Chinese litterature is VERY good - both old and modern one. The LNs are as retarded as japanese and korean though if not worse.

I doubt you can name one example of Japanese literature you've read.

Nice argument faggot

Even if I gave you a list, you would just backpedal. There is a reason why jap shit isnt popular around the world as European literature.

>>152963846
I don't even need a list. I want you to name a single one so that you don't look like you're completely full of shit.

>>152963846
American / European Literature is not particularly popular outside of its cultural sphere. It simply so happens that it has an absolutely stupendous cultural sphere because of its primacy during the first era of worldwide dominance.

Furthermore Herkz is liberal and transgender so that kind of kills your point.

>>152954670
I just use the following user CSS (with Stylish) to reduce the faggotry on NT:

@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);

@-moz-document domain("nyaa.se"),domain("nyaa.eu") {

.avatarstaff {
float: left;
max-height: 50px;
max-width: 50px;
}

.aplus {
background-color: #98D9A8;
}
}

First style reduces avatar sizes for mods (which are 300x300 for epeen by default), second one gives all A+ stuff the same color as verified torrents. Alternatively you can make both of them white.

>>152955393
I cast Demon Skull

>>152965202
#4d3219 is a superior color for that, it gets the point across better.

>>152965202
Thanks, this is pretty useful. Although I personally just use Element Hiding Helper to hide comments completely because when I left them visible I noticed they were always shit.

The avatar sizes are seriously one of the most annoying things I have ever seen. They are so fucking obnoxiously large. How big does a guy's ego have to be to come up with that idea?
