ITT: old things you miss in anime TL notes

Karaoke

>>155374045
i really miss that

>>155374045
Karaoke was annoying, it would clutter the screen with 3 different fonts all changing colors and shit.

>>155374045
Most subgroups still do karaoke. Stop downloading HS.

>>155374546
Most sub groups are dead

I miss funny translator notes.
I don't miss "keikaku means plan."

I fucking hate translator notes. It is either something you already know or don't care.

There was a video about someone who translated the lyrics of an OP while complaining about the anime being shit. I can't remember what anime was.

That was pretty funny.

>>155374989
This is beautiful.

>>155374989
>Starcraft 2 happened seven years ago
>K-On is reaching a decade old soon

Where did time go

>>155375554
oh my god
What am I doing with my life?

I miss hidden TL notes only visible if you extracted and read the script.

Don't worry, its only going to get worse

When some dialogue is not translated because fuck you.

>>155375175
translator notes make sense sometimes, when someone makes a joke or pun that doesn't translate well, or if there's cultural knowledge that you couldn't reasonably know as a foreigner.
I watch a lot of Detective Conan so this is very relevant.

>>155375554
If K-On progressed in real time, all the cast but Azunyan would be cakes now

>>155376173
Explaining the joke never makes it funny. You can always presume that is something that can't be translated and getting an quick explanation will probably not help. It just feels bothersome.

>>155376255
My favorite part of watching K-ON was hearing PONY CANYON

>>155376173
>>155376287
Okay, quick poll.

Translating a joke and explaining it vs changing the joke to something English gaijins will get?

>>155376287
>Explaining the joke never makes it funny
It's funny for me. I liked reading about the banana story in Gabriel Dropout, it was interesting.
Of course sometimes a TL note is not enough (like in the banana example) but it helps in a lot of cases.

>>155377850
first one
anyone who says change should be removed

>>155377850
Translate and explain, if it's actually funny it'll still be funny after the explanation.

>>155376373
I miss chapters in general. It's so convenient to skip OPs and EDs with simple press of page down (MPC-HC). It's especially useful when there is some sudden additional footage after the ED, it's easy to miss it without chapters.

Also gg didn't even add any memes to the names of their chapters in Macross Delta and Kuromukuro last year. I was truly disappointed.

>>155377850
A big part of why explaining jokes makes them not funny is not so much the explanation, but because if you have to explain it, it's likely that you two are just on different wavelengths and the person who needs it explained won't really "Get" the explanation either.

Which translations or cultural background, it can be alright because all that's missing is background facts, not so much an explanation of the thought processes. It's still unlikely to be as funny as if you got it right away, but it's not like the joke will be destroyed any more than when you hear a joke you've heard before.

>>155377908
I noticed that everyone who fails to capitalize first letter in their sentence is usually a faggot and newfag. Once again I'm proved right.

>>155377850
Depends on the joke. The only correct answer.

>>155377850
depends super-heavily on the joke itself and the show it's in, something like Paniponi or SZS demands full liner notes and a sad head-shaking at EOPs who don't get references to whether an '80s pop star is wearing socks, while throwaway puns in an action show are whatever.

>>155377047
>>155377327
I remember but I don't miss it.

>>155374989
I will never not love this.

>>155374027
The joke TL notes are what you mean, but I miss genuine TL notes which are rarely ever used anymore. Rakugo S2 had a lot of scenes where they would have been appropriate in CR's script.

Yeap, it's something that was completely forgotten in modern CR era too.
Now shows do not have anything like this: https://hiyono.files.wordpress.com/2009/07/gg-pani-poni-dash-19-pdf-notes-4486444d.pdf

What sub groups are still active nowadays?

Good luck understanding Saiki Kusuo without any notes unless you rewind constantly.

The poor quality of the typesetting made that show near unwatchable in the horriblesubs version.

>>155378986
I think FFF is the only group who regularly puts out shows but I don't know if they're just crunchyroll script edits. Fansubbing is dead.

>>155378986
Asenshi
FFF

>>155378986
Doki, Doremi, Mori.

>>155378986
Off the top of my head FFF, GJM, Asenshi, doki, DDY, Mezashite, and Commie unfortunately. And keep in mind i used a rather loose interpretation of active.

>>155378986
Overtime does mostly toku shows, but it subbed the Gekkan Shoujo specials so i count them in.

>>155374989
Where is the one about the rabbit looking like its made of shit

>>155378986
Vivid says they're working on BD/backlog so I'm hoping they become active again.

I miss autists making long posts about why other sub groups had shit translations and editing.

Now I just have to deal with Daiz shitting on Crunchyroll and their encoding.

I know many people find it annoying but I really miss SS-Eclipse karaoke and wapanese subs.

>>155379412
I remember when everyone used to use that one sub review site to see what group to go with every season, fun times

>>155379412

You still have Commie arguing that their memesubs are the best and everyone else sucks.

I played in the beta and can't believe it was 7 years ago. Also unlike previous games you'd be region locked into servers and I had friends in both Europe and USA that I wanted to play with so I'd have to buy the game and expansions double to play with them. I didn't even buy it in the end because of that and other reasons

>>155379657
Morning lescue was the main draw of Madoka before the head chomp happened

Sub groups spending all their time playing MMOs instead of finishing the next episode.

>>155379852
Even after that morning rescue was still the best part of meduca. Overrated twist that over half the people in the threads were calling.

>>155375359
I remember something like that in the yuri anime about the dog girl and cat girl

>>155374027
I thought the purpose of Schneizel moving his king into place was to play on the motif of Lelouch comparing real life to chess, often thinking of his soldiers as "pawns to be used" (at least by the criticism of those around him). Schneizel, by moving the king piece into a checkmate, breaking the rules. Lelouch could have taken the king, but it would have put him in check, allowing his king to be taken the next turn.

Schneizel's chess move is a twofold rupture to Lelouch's chess-to-war analogy, and therefore his entire worldview.
1.) Real life is not a chess game in the sense that there is no "game-winning move" - the arrow of time continually flies forward. If his next move puts him in check, then the enemy's piece will take him immediately.
2.) When he is presented with a chance to achieve victory, is he willing to put his life on the line for his values?

Schneizel's game with Lelouch is a device Schneizel uses to get into Lelouch's head. In the chess game, Lelouch steps away because he fears death and he's not willing to personally accept the consequences of his ambition.

Lelouch resolves this internal conflict by first understanding and internalizing the consequences of his actions and the value of life. Furthermore, he realizes that Zero, the figure he has created, is itself a danger to his desired version of liberty simply by Zero's existence. Zero is a mortal, anonymous being depicted as an immortal celebrity. He needs a way to transition away from government-by-Zero in such a way that Zero disappears forever and cedes control to a more stable, reliable form of government. In order to do so, Lelouch must convert Zero back into a mortal, anonymous figure in the eyes of the public, and the only certain way for him to do that is death.

Lelouch answers Schneizel's challenge another way the second time by sacrificing Zero, a metaphorical chess king, and by extension himself, to the idea of freedom.
