That's basically every anime opening in that time period.

Was just randomly clicking through Blassreiter #18 (don't ask)... Skip to 13:00.

Now THAT is how you make an anime opening. Hell, that's how you make an anime. Hell, I clearly have no idea what I'm talking about.

Time to go post in the song stuck in your head thread.

Man, the first two seasons of Ranma or so were fun. I sometimes wish that series hadn't been stretched way beyond the breaking point.

I mean for fuck's sake, martial arts figure skating competition over ownership of a pig who is also a man.

Takahashi had a few awesome stories a year for Ranma and UY basically up until their conclusions, more than making up for the abject mediocrity of a few really uncreative already-been-there stinkers.

But then again, she does have the immense power of nostalgia on her side with me.

Yeah, I mean Ryoga was king-shit-funny, back when I was 15.

You sus'ed it!

No! No Ranma! No more! Bad bad bad bad! Alex hates it, precious! Terribly so!

An example of obnoxious translation fail. It's been three chapters of this kind of crap.

I don't think I can handle it.

Niku · « **Reply #230 on:** October 05, 2008, 05:07:12 PM »

you're not allowed to complain until you download a torrent of some shit that starts out perfectly well translated, abruptly becomes shit for six volumes when the original editor and translator had a walk out or something, culminated in three volumes where all the japanese text was blanked out AND NOTHING WAS WRITTEN BACK IN, and then have the final two volumes be back to sub-par translation.

(seriously goddamn i hate complete torrents sometimes)

Classic · « **Reply #231 on:** October 05, 2008, 05:14:15 PM »

That sounds suspiciously similar to the Parasyte collection on OneManga. Only with "all" replaced with "some".

Oh well, just as keikaku!

You know, I remember when Azumanga Dioh was only available as a fan translation. The fan traslations I saw (The 4- or 8-panel vertical strips) were really well paced and damn funny. The the 'offical' manga came out, so I though, "Hey, I'll buy this"... only to realize upon flipping through the book on th rack, that compared to the fan translations, it was incredibly lame and unfunny. Now I can't find the original fan translations.

Azumanga Daioh's fansub was especially high quality, and probably owes a lot of its popularity to that "tsukurimashou" clip that circulated the pre-Youtube internet.

There's an extended audio Tsururimashou on a drama CD somewhere where Osaka gives it a go and fails. It's all good, though, because she fails in Kansei-ben and anything done in that dialect is hilarious.

Wasn't it like 3 fansub groups partnering up to do it? Nothing like that would happen now, they're all too egotistical to do anything where they'd have to share credit.

I knew there was a reason I kept buying the old tokyopop volumes even though they randomly changed all the characters' names for no real reason.

A² · « **Reply #238 on:** October 06, 2008, 01:21:04 AM »

Del-Ray is re-releasing Parasyte you know.

Romosome · « **Reply #239 on:** October 06, 2008, 02:38:44 AM »

At a no doubt glacial pace, and I already have over half the volumes.
