Its work is done.

That said, there will always be a few heroes in the shadows that will arise when the hour seems darkest ... and supply us with 8-bit hardsubs like God intended. [Doremi] Forever!

As long as Netflix continues to delaycast their anime long after they are finished airing, fansubs will live on.

There's just a lack of shows worth subbing.

That's definitely not it, lol. Proof: Akikan was fansubbed. It was Chihiro, but still.

The infrastructure is dead. It'd take years to gather translators with the amount of experience to match past ones.

Yes. Daiz won.

As long as the majority of people are more concerned with watching the episode ASAP then a quality translation the organization that can get them out within the hour will triumph.

In the US maybe but fansubbing will never die in latin american countries, every seasonal anime is sub by at least one faggot.

All the groups either died or conglomerated to escape death. Fansubbing is an arduous process and not very enjoyable. Not many subbers make it past 2 or 3 years.

There is always HorribleSubs.

Scanlating is more rewarding and gets you more recognition. What kind of dog would bother with subbing when they can get all the headpats you could ever want just from translating some easy lovey dovey manga?

Fansubbing is obsolete, and that's a good thing.

Yes. The next time you encounter shit translation and memes, know that a person was LITERALLY paid to do it.

And yet people will wait days for HS when a fansub is faster.

Doesn't this just bind ressources on the Fansubgroup's part?

In English, yes, but BRs and Flips will keep it alive for their people.

He even killed Bulma's seiyuu just for fun.

rips are so fast that leechers just download them instead. also most of them have full time jobs and disposable income now to do other shit with, lots of bored college kids on the scene 10 years ago

The only problem is that most latino subbing groups don't have the quality of older english fansubs.

Flip subs exist? We have dubs and even those are dying.

>lol
Fuck off

You still can learn spanish and enjoy some good fansubbing.

Then I would have to deport myself

Never forget Seu Madruga

why not just learn nip at that point

lol this guy

>that sub quality

But HS is the best fansub in the world and still going strong

But they use shitty streaming sites full of cancerous ads.

Eoten

Netflix only licenses the anime, though.

>no fansubbing drama
>no trollsubs
>no memesubs
I hope it stays dead

Not really, if you know where to search.

Discussion threads with sub filenames were better than what we have now

What happened? I see so much shonen shit nowadays too

b-but commie is still alive.

Honestly, I think we are heading into another piracy/fansubbinb Golden Age. Look at how Nyaa bounced back quickly and stronger than ever. Between unreliable official subs and the streaming bullshit, I think people are gonna head back to the salty seas of piracy. Anime becoming more diluted has reaped us these horrible benefits; it's time to go back.

Well frozenlayer is still alive much to my surprise, but I doubt that is the site you are referring to. So please enlightenme user.

loli defense force got kill
DBS and spics
Nardo not being spammed to death

You must be tripping. Apart from DBS and a couple of other popular shows, spic subs are just translations from English subs

based Chavo posters

I fucking hope so. I got into Animebytes recently, but you can get all of the new shows on nyaa anyway and you don't have to deal with their seeding rules there. Can't even really say it's worth it for older stuff either, big filesizes for no reason, low amount of seeders and since no-ones leeching your ratio will be fucked if you only download old stuff.

This, surprisingly there is some quality spic Fansub groups out there.
Not really, almost every fansub uses torrent, no watermarks, no ads.

You know... KEK isn't much better than lol, actually normalfags uses more kek than lol nowadays.

fandubbing is where it's at

Please tell me they didn't actually used this translation.

As the other user said, almost everyone uses torrent now. There are fansubs still releasing stuff on nyaa, anidex, and the likes, the links are easy to find on their websites. But for the sake of convenience I use this tracker, it collects most of the releases as the fansubbers themselves visit it.
torrent.unionfansub.com
Don't even bother with the forums, though.

Yes, thank God.

What's the next step of his master plan?

It's a joke.

If official subs for a show are missing, extremely late, or particularly attrocious, it will probably still get fansubbed.
Otherwise, unless a group has a particularly soft spot for a show (eg: UTW and Fate), you're unlikely to see them. Fansubbing is a big investment for very little payoff, assuming you're not doing a HS edit, and the old fansubbers have better things to do with their time than make a slightly better copy of something adequate.

I wouldn't call it dead, but it's on life support.

lmao keep tryna fit in lil dude

...

more or less since when have they lost relevance?

>unionfansub
Don't you need to upload something to use their tracker?

What I have noticed is that there are a lot of spanish scans of manga that isn't avaiable to download on english

Who knows, really?

Killing comiket, loli and Akiba before the Olympics begin

I'm honestly shocked fansubbing is even a thing. I've spent the last 8 years learning and practicing Japanese and I have no desire to help out lazy casuals that can't put any effort into their so-called hobby.

Non-simulcasted shows often get spanish (and other languages) subs before english.

Have a (you)

>spends all his time watching subtitled anime

fuck off, you EOP casual

Most do it for the recognition and e-peen.
Others because they genuinely love a series, visual novel or manga and want to share it with everyone.
I personally translated a couple of porn manga but I feel like I did a really shitty job so I don't want to upload it anywhere.

>he's this defensive
>he's actually THIS defensive
>projecting this hard

Last (you) fucko

That was a different mentality back then, because people wanted to spread the love for anime, so that more people would talk about it and share the love of the hobby. To do that, you have to make it accessible to others so that they might then perhaps also become interested in learning the language and help translate more anime and manga, as well as get a place to talk about it and socialize through anime and manga.
In short, it was done so that it would become viral.
Nowadays, it's not needed anymore, because it has become mainstream enough.

Don't be mean senpai. I'm trying.

>le projecting maymay

This is still a thing on this board?

What the fuck would I be projecting? Even before I spent thousands of hours studying Japanese I never understood how people could be so entitled and act so disrespectfully toward fansubbers. They have a skill that 99% of "hardcore fans" are too lazy to acquire yet they get shit on all the time.

>>no trollsubs
>>no memesubs
Through the dark lord, amen.

The problem with HS is they only do what's simulcast. None of the BD/DVD extras or OVAs get done.
I was amazed when Doki came out of the woodwork to do the YnS OVA.

This just lets me know you don't actually interact with normalfags in real life.

Now you and your ilk have become irrelevant thanks to the power of Crunchyroll, Funimation, Amazon and Netflix.

How long does it even take to learn enough to watch shows without subs? I'm too lazy to learn anything more than really basic japanese.

Well usually I just extract subs and download raw BDs.

Not a fansubber, nor would I ever be. I can actually consume Japanese media in it's entirety without needing to rely on translators that will inevitably be unable to translate every little nuance.

A long time, especially if you aren't a NEET that can spend 8+ hours a day on it.

Two to four years.

If you weren't so full of yourself you'd realize that lots of people put effort into the hobby and community in ways other than spending years learning a language. Just the fact that you're here instead of 2chan shows that.

Being lazy and distracted has kept me from learning it for years. There is never enough time in a day for everything.

Because there was a time where you didn't have CR and other companies translating everything for you, so if you wanted to talk about certains show with people or spread the love of a series you like the only way was fansubbing it yourself.
That and some people made money on the side.

there are ovas for popular shows that came out years ago that still don't have subs. others only have subs that were translated with babelfish or through some intermediary monkey language.

>2chan

Why the fuck would anyone go to 2chan? You realize modern browsers let you visit more than one website simultaneously, right?

>If you weren't so full of yourself you'd realize that lots of people put effort into the hobby and community in ways other than spending years learning a language

Ah yes, talking about your waifu on Sup Forums is definitely contributing to the hobby. Neck yourself.

How many hours per day?

24 hours, no eat, no sleep, only kanji

Maybe it's work out if I got nutrients through an intravenous line and listened to radio plays during slee- I mean comas.

>learning japanese just to read manga and watch anime in japanese
Everyone realizes this is the definition of turbo autism right?

AJATT

Is this the latest updated version?

Your post is the definition of an ironic weeaboo.

>Anime is shit, r-right guys?

Doki?!

On everything except old shows. And even then good luck.

You will never watch Luckyman in its entirely in your lifetime.

Naruto ended and the entire population of the Philippines came to Sup Forums

>learn x
>instead of jap to get it raw
Fucking wew

anime? No. Investing thousands of hours to people able to read the exact same shit but before it was translated and so you don't have to read subs?
Yes.
Astronomically yes.

>dude you should learn french, german and russian for those films, fuck subs
good for you to learn japanese but you act as if everyone has the time to spend nearly a decade of learning just to watch some cartoons.

Why can't someone like the language?
Are you incapable of comprehending that a person wants to learn a language for enjoyment, without insisting it's the "definition of turbo autism"?
A common deciding factor on learning a new language is how often you're exposed to it or will use it in everyday life, assuming you aren't learning it for work related purposes.
If you watch anime or read manga all day, why not learn the language?
You should think about what it is you're posting about before resorting to calling it nothing but turbo autism.

>8 years to learn a langauge
Why did it take you so long? You should have been easily able to visit the country after even two years, why the fuck eight?

How's the life in 2015? They've been in the production comitee of several shows since at least last year.

...

You realize that 99% of Japanese people would immediately hate you upon learning that you learn the language to better read manga and watch anime right?
The point is that if you are going to dedicate your time to something like that, it should be something that can improve yourself. Learn an instrument, learn to paint, start a business, etc. Learning a language is admirable but usually because you admire the culture it comes from or the people's history or you have family/loved ones that speaks it or want to connect to your heritage, etc. It'd be like if someone from Japan learned english over the course of almost a decade for the sole reason to read comic books pre-translation or watch the Flash or Green Arrow without having to rely on subs.

Look, I'm sure you disagree and you probably have friends/family that verify what you think. But this is a world where people support people who like to cut their dick off or genuinely consider themselves to be animals or want to be 600 lbs. It's almost difficult to explain why this is so fucking pathetic because it's common sense.

Who gives a shit what people across an ocean think? If you're learning for anime and manga, then you won't practice production at all anyways. In the first place, I doubt there's a person alive who went through with learning it without having a broader interest in Japanese culture.

Would westerners really detest someone for learning English for cartoons and comics? Might think it's a bit odd to learn for solely that reason sure, but I doubt they'd resent someone for taking up part of their own culture.
