Anime Thigh Thread II

[Shinzai]

I'll put another spin on it - Horriblesubs was the best thing that ever happened to fansubs. For a long while, trying to get subs for some shows was straight up impossible. Some jerk-off group would lay claim to subbing it, sub like 2 episodes, then throw a bitch fit over another group doing episode 1 weeks later, then abandon the project and stop anyone getting to see it. Shit was fucking retarded at times.

Horriblesubs offers a very simple base line - the default subs for a show, available almost as soon as physically possible, with no bullshit, no extras, what you see is what you get.

Translations, Typesetting, quality? The list goes on, there is plenty of things that makes a group bad or good.
Where horriblesubs miss on every point, not only that but they are massive assholes i rather not "support"
They just do direct rips from CR and funi, where over half of the translators working there are just well, shit.
Other sub groups actually put effort into their subbing and work.

Not going to go on a full rant about horriblesubs, and i could if wanted to.
But they are truly the last last last resort for me, if there is literally no other group out with the subs after a good while, i'll stoop down to using them.

You see, this argument is utter nonsense. Unless you're paying a group, or /actually/ supporting them, say via donations or by taking part in the subbing process, you really have nothing to complain about. It's the equivalent of living at home, and giving your mom shit for cooking the same meal, on a regular basis for you. You paid nothing for it, had no input on it, deserve no input on it, get what you're given and that's life. It's like sneaking into the cinema, then complaining about the shitty seats you had to hide in. It's like trying to watch porn on cable in the 90s, and complaining about the encryption distortion. It's like complaining about mp3 quality, for the music you pirated.

Demanding effort and time for nothing, is pointless. Downloading group X's subs doesn't support them, it doesn't change a single thing for them. Only backers or people willing to visit their site/forum without an adblocker and sign up and click on adverts on their sites are the only people that help them at all. The reason the other groups started falling apart after Horriblesubs showed up, is more to do with the fact that they couldn't hold viewers ransom or stop people gaining access to certain shows, if they felt like it. It was amazing how many sites had 'sign-up to view' or 'donate to view' links to their downloads/videos/whatever.

They put effort in on subs and creating an audience, because they wanted money out of it. Torrents and Horriblesubs crippled that, hard. That's just how it is and it's one of the best things to happen to fansubbing. I could care less about their quality or their source's accuracy. I'm getting something for free and that's all that matters. Most people aren't even going to buy the DVD's or Blu-Rays, for any of the shows when they come out anyway.

That's why I started to learn moonspeak to not have to deal with this bullshit again. It's happened countless times with manga and LN translations that if another group picked it up they throw a bitch fit saying they would drop it.

And putting all that aside... CR rips are nowhere near as bad as they're made out to be. Funi ones are somewhat iffy, mainly 'cause fuck hardsubs, but the translation is very rarely wrong.

Only thing Funi sucks at is encoding. For fuck sake why is it that the 1080p version is better then the 720P?

Stop hurting my heart

[Neichus]

Wached the first episode of Gakkou Gurashi...

I'm not entirely sure what to think of that. That is all.

[Artorius]

Uesu Tetsuto is back for the next season, lel.

[Neichus]

I don't like the music, and I hate the series, but I do have to tip my hat to the editor for staying faithful to the violently surreal atmosphere.

[Sj]

What's with Reddit's boner for Monogatari series? I keep trying to watch Bake, but it's just too disjointed for me. I hear it gets better later on, but I shouldn't have to watch 10 episodes for something to get good.

Can't answer that for you: I loath the series. I'm just an AMV aficionado, and I can respect work even on anime I didn't enjoy. Often AMVs are better than their actual series.

You didn't know? /r/animes taste is absolute shit.

Like, I like Senjougahara somewhat, but overall it's just not an easy show to watch.

Oh yeah, I forgot.

Simultaneously cute and disturbing.

I love it, but you have to personally enjoy the talking heads/general delivery style to appreciate the show. You also have to be someone who isn't turned off by best girls/ecchi/harem type shows - monogatari is particularly perverted.

As for 'it gets better later on', I don't personally see it that way, but I think it's because Second Season was it's strongest point. It's stronger due to it covering more key parts of the plot.

Still prob my fav AMV I've seen so far

It's a really good series, and I enjoy it a lot, just there's as Radio said a LOT of talking. So it's pretty rough to watch almost when you combine it with it's ecchi/best girl and such nature. Other then that I really like it since it's just, well plain a funny show, has interesting dialogue and a cool story.

[Neichus]

Gekkou...whatever spoilers. Well the cute nearly got me to stop watching. I had just heard repeatedly to keep at it, so I did. Then I went back and looked at the things people mentioned in the comments, and...yeah. It's a bit of a bizarre show.

I'd have a really hard time picking my favorite...so many good ones that have different strengths and weaknesses. A few that come to mind immediately, though:

This is Halloween for Soul Eater

Spanish Wolf for Spice and Wolf

Expendable Innocence for Gunslinger Girl

Final Spark or Salvation of Kiritsugu for Fate/Zero

Imagine for Texhnolyze

Certain Days for To Aru
