[Fansubbers] Stroke your e-penis here
Subject in question: FalseDawn (also answers to movax)
Rather than doing a wall of text, I thought I'd just write a paragraph (to jump on the bandwagon, y'know). I'm an editor/timer/qcer who's been in far too many groups in his time, though I've whittled it down to three active groups -- believe me, that's plenty -- Saizen, Umai and Ureshii. I started fansubbing in Spring 2006, editing Solar's Ouran, and in those first few months, learnt timing. From there, I've subbed a number of series that I don't remember and one that was fairly well-received by others (Umai's Romeo x Juliet). Likes: The em-dash, unusual words, alpha timing, Ishie, TheFluff's explanations. Dislikes: Projects stalling because of TS, bad editing, bad timing, Shinsen, Your-Mom/Ayako, AEN, dattebayo, fail groups, anidb's rating system, joke subs, trolls, "Englishlising", gx_st, SERIOUS BUSINESS, long meaningless lists. My mission is to make SayaSP a household name. Last edited by False Dawn; 2008-05-14 at 16:58. Reason: I've been englishlising my post... |

1. Personality
1. I'm a 25 year old guy. Usually calm, but gets bored very fast. Anti alcohol, tobacco and any kind of drugs. I love being out in the nature, take a nap in the sun, play football, or simply just watch anime. Need to be in activity with something to do almost all the time. Like the relax inbetween, but I prefer having work to do most of my time. Love sports and working out. I think I'm a nice and caring person irl. Online I tend to be impatient and very passionate about the projects I do, and that can be a problem sometimes. 2.Oversubbing and other fansubbers bashing each other and talking "behind back" about someone they don't even know. 3. I like when people work hard and fast together and get out good quality subs. 4. sangofe 2. Mission 1. I started providing dvd's for a dvd rip group, the founder asked me if I wanted to come with him and fansub for real since he was starting a new group, at that time, i was into fandubbing, but I tried it. 2. I'm addicted, sadly. 3. Sadly, I'm always into fansubbing, lol. 4. I started about 4 years ago. 5. Actually I'm not sure what the purpose of fansubbing is anymore. I initially wanted to start to sub "forgotten" and good series, but unfortunately, I'm stuck on oversubbing now and that sucks. I wanna do classics. 3+6. Groups 1. a-one, anime-empire, anime-yuki, BSS, digitalpanic, genjo, gwi, heart of madness, mendoi, neet, nozomi, ryuu rogue, sd project, saizen. I'm a timer and QC, and that's what I can do. I prefer timing. Mostly active in anime-empire, BSS, digitalpanic, sd project and Saizen. I do freelance. Last edited by sangofe; 2008-07-20 at 03:17. |

Since you ask I shall be thick-skinned and treat this as my personal blog.
1. Personality 1. Describe about yourself Not important. 2. Do tell what you disgusted the most in fansubbing? Members who initiate a project and disappear halfway. Members who disappear without informing anyone. Members who initiate projects that are bound to be oversubbed. "Because that show is so awesome, and I get to tell my friends about it!". "Let's all do Code Geass and Kara no Kyoukai!" Members who initiate projects that they have low chance of completing. 3. Do tell any attributes you like about fansubbing? People with different skill sets working towards a common goal. 4. What are your aliases or nicknames you've used in fansubbing? cowteats. My previous nicks are hi-mi-tsu~. 2. Mission 1. Why do you fansub in the first place? Learn Japanese. 2. Why do you continue fansubbing? Learn Japanese, trolling fans and fansubbers alike, e-peen stroking. 3. When are you into fansubbing? HUH? 4. When do you start fansubbing? Jan 2007. 5. Define fansub or state the mission of the fansub By fans for fans. 3. Groups 1. List your current group(s) and your position/job in that group(s) Ayako - Translator. 2. List the Group(s) you've worked with now Ayako. 3. List the Group(s) you've worked with in the past Hi-mi-tsu~. 4. Do you freelance? No. 4. Projects 1. What kind of series (genre) do you enjoy working on? Comedy, harem, fanservice, furry, slice-of-life, melodrama. 2. Do you work on any series that you don't like? If so, why working on them? Yes, I was young and gullible. 5. Founder: N.A. 6. Jobs 1. What are your current fansubbing jobs 2. Which fansubbing jobs can you do 3. What are your favorite fansubbing jobs 4. Make a definition of the job you can do or your current fansubbing job briefly. I can only translate. I'm still in the process of polishing that skill. 7. Other Plans 1. When are you planning to retire/quit from fansubbing? When I get sick of anime. That's said I've been watching for over ten years. 2. Are you planning to train other novice fansubbers so that they'll be just as good as you are? translation skills = english proficiency + japanese proficiency + experience. It is almost impossible to train translators, and so far I've only met 1 translator who is interested in discussing Japanese grammar, who is also my translation checker for Spicywolf. I've seen another translator gotten better at English because he moved to a English-speaking country, but otherwise the chance of improving is only dependent on experience. 3. Are you going to document everything what you did so that other people can get to know how to fansub better? Nothing to document. The HAET directed at the group I belong to is very amusing, and I sincerely look forward to multiplying it using various means. |

1. Personality
1. I'm a happy, out-door person, funny, but also very demanding, fussy, grumpy, stubborn, well, I'm hateful actually D: 2. I dislike fights, people who think of theirselves the center of the world just from putting some stupid subs in a stupid show, the sooooo demanding fansub bosses, fights again... 3. I like from fansubbing the love for anime, the dedication, the effort, the freakism for Naruto lol Naruto lol 4. I've been _Anakyn_, ani, and cuac (the sound that a duck does), and I'm thinking of changing into _Darth Vader_. Please vote if you want it to happen. 2. Mission 1. I fansub because I feel those damn animation studios don't do a good job taking anime to their countries (some of them do a really good job, it's just a generalization). SO I think it's good in the Inet to be some losers (me the first one!) that dedicate a portion of their free time to take anime to as many people as they can. 2. I continue fansubbing because some series are good enough to give them a chance to get them to know to the world. 3. I'm fully into fansubbing once I join Anime-Kraze and mahou as a typesetter and AnimeRakuen (Spanish group) as a karaokeman, TLor, and editor. That is two years ago in summer, September 2006, I think. 4. I started fansubbing a boring December 2005, while navigating the Inet looking for I don't remember what. That wasn't serious, it was a very, very small group and couldn't release hardly anything D: 5. Fansub/mission of the fansub: Sub from fans. Easy, dude. 3. Groups 1. 3. I've worked for these Spanish groups: Animelliure Fansub (catalan actually), AnimeRakuen, ThePhoenix-Team, RedLineSP, Xtasy no Fansub, Wing Zero Fansub (<-- LOL such a huge HOYGAN this group is), Athena no Seinto, The Authority, Inshuheki, Hikari-Anime, Kamonohashi no Fansub, Nou no Sonshou, I think that's all, and now for the English groups: BSS, mahou, Anime-Kraze, For-The-Win (da best group full of AFX users, go go go!), Ureshii, Froth-Bite, Live-eviL, Menclave, and super Shinsen-subs. 2. Shinsen-subs, Ureshii, Inshuheki, Menclave. Well, I'm working for a hotel right now, I'm out from the fansubbing world till I get a decent laptop. 4. Yeah sure, I freelance, otherwise I wouldn't have been in so many groups. I helped them in specific moments, not alwayz! D: I'd be crazy dude. 4. Projects 1. Oh please not lolis, I don't like lolis, I like the Mnemosyne ones, I find them too... little? I don't know, I enjoy fansubbing shows like Death Note 2. Hmmm, since I'm a karaokeman basically, more than a typesetter, I only AFX it and I'm done. I usually don't watch the shows I fansub. That's rude but that's it D: 5. I haven't founded anything yet, gomen. 6. Jobs 1. Hmmm, I don't know my jobs right now, first I have to go back to fansubbing. 2. AFX karaoke and typeset mainly, QCing secondly, and in Spanish groups, TLing, editing and timing but very, very slowly. 3. AnimeOne, Anime-Kraze, Tanoshii (Spanish fansub), and Inshuheki, of course. 4. AFX karaoking: open AE, run Shinji's script and load your SSA, duplicate layers, modify layers, add some presets and a keyframe style. And if you're in the mood, add some particles there. That'll do the job. 7. Other Plans 1. Soon. Nah, not really, but when someone tells me DUDE YOU HAVE/MUST/ARE GOING TO DO THIS, I DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR OPINION I'll quit and I'll bring down that group. Well, actually I'll only send a skunk to the person who hypothetically says that. 2. I'll try, I promise, but not to be as good as I am, but as bad as I am. 3. I will, at least in Spanish editing and karaoking, cuz I feel I've gotta share something with my fellas fansubbers. Accept it can be their ruin, but they're free to follow my tips. Guys, you're warned. I'm not responsible of the consequences D: D: D: Last edited by _Anakyn_; 2008-05-19 at 11:08. |

Personality
- Describe yourself. 24, British. - What attributes do you dislike about fansubbing? Groups not announcing projects in advance. - What attributes do you like about fansubbing? Community. - What are your aliases or nicknames you've used in fansubbing? Grv, Groove Mission - Why do you fansub in the first place? Learning Japanese. - Why do you continue fansubbing? Still learning Japanese. - When did you start fansubbing? When I formed Yoroshiku in February 2006. - Define fansubbing or state the mission of fansubbing. "Subtitles provided by fans, for fans at no profit". Groups - List your current groups and your positions within those groups Yoroshiku - Founder/Various Mendoi - Timer Animeforever - Timer Menclave - QC MUJI - Timer, QC - List the groups you've worked with Animeforever Ureshii Nozomi - List the groups you've worked with in the past Hell Fansubs orz - Do you freelance? Haven't yet. Projects - What kind of series/genre do you enjoy working on? A mixture: some shounen/shoujo shows have their appeal for a short time but I would prefer to work on seinen/josei on an enduring basis. - Do you work on any series that you don't like? If so, why are you working on them? I have worked on series I don't like and still do. The reason is simply to keep people happy. It's a small sacrifice to make to work on something you're not keen on now so that others will work on shows you wish to in the future. Founder - Why did you start a group? At the time it seemed like a good way to become more involved with this (at the time) new fascinating idea of "anime". - If the group is functioning very well, why it is successful and what did you do to make it successful? Opinions will vary on what functioning "well" is, but in my personal opinion Yoroshiku delivers episodes in a reasonably timely fashion and hopefully to a standard acceptable to the viewers. As for the whats and why of how things are running "well", I would have to say it ultimately comes down to compromise and accepting the opinions of others. For example in the context of project selection I selected Kekkaishi on the recommendation of a QCer and Chi's Sweet Home because our main editor has an affinity for cats. Jobs - What are your current fansubbing jobs? Timer, Translator (Chi's Sweet Home), Quality Control, Editor - Which fansubbing jobs can you do? As above with perhaps the additions of encoding but I prefer to assign roles to people who are specialists. - What are your favourite fansubbing jobs? Distro - the satisfaction of actually getting to release something after all the hard work that has gone into it! Other Plans - When are you planning to retire from fansubbing? Things will probably come to a natural end but I would like to believe I can complete some older neglected series before that time such as Oishinbo and Monkey Turn. - Are you planning to train other novice fansubbers so that they'll be just as good as you are? I'm already in the process of bringing slightly-less-than-qualified staffers onboard. The idea being to pair them with more experienced people within the group and to secure staff for future projects. - Are you going to document everything what you did so that other people can get to know how to fansub better? Unless I come up with something revolutionary I doubt there would be much need for my own personal input. There are people in a much better position to share their knowledge than I, and there is still much to learn before I would consider anything I wrote on the topic to be authoritative.

1. Personality
1. Well, I'm pretty quit most of the time. Mainly on the internets though. I hear I'm a riot in irl, but who am I to say? 2. The thing that bothers me the most is when groups sub random episode. Like one day they sub episode 2 of something, then the next day they release episode 80 of a series that they haven't even done before. I can't stand when they do that. Does no one care to be consistent? 3. It's just fun. You get to watch anime, what's wrong about that? 4. I've always used the name I'm using now: digiboy123. 2. Mission 1. Same reason I said a while ago. Because it's fun. And for other groups to return the favor and subtitle anime for me to watch. >8D 2. Cuz' i'm ttly bored ya! That and i have nothing else to do besides college stuffs. 3. The first sub I ever watched was probably back in 2000. 4. I started fansubbing about Fall 2006. 5. Fansubbing is bringing Japanese anime shows to those that aren't fluent in Japanese with English subtitles. That's basically it. 3. Groups 1. • DATS - Editor, QCer, maybe a timer, upscripter. • Mishicorp - Editor, maybe an upscritper every now and then. 2. I still work with these two groups. 3. I have worked with Black Lotus, and Anime-Empire. 4. I've been a freelancer once or twice, yes. 4. Projects 1. I enjoy working on action, shounen and historical. FUN! But whatever, I'll work on any show. 2. Yeah, I've worked on shows that I don't like. I help fansub them because i know there is at least one person out there that wants to watch it, so i think of them. 6. Jobs 1. Currently, I'm just an editor. Real life prohibits me! 2. I can edit, TL Check, time, upscript, QC. Everything except karaoke, typesetting and encode. 3. Editor and QCer are my favs. 7. Other Plans 1. I'll probably quit when I die. That or when I don't feel like spending hours to sub cartoons. 2. When do I plan to train others? Lulz. Never. I had to learn for myself. It's not that hard! 3. Are you going to document everything what you did so that other people can get to know how to fansub better? - Nope. There's many guides and tutorials already out there. |
