Solar highways as well.

Yeah, but in this case it’s less a sword and more a lump of plastic.

Pretty sure I would stop answering the door if Internet celebrities were attempting to use me for attention.

Sorry, I recall some really bad fansubs from back in the day. I can’t say whether the translator actually knew Japanese.

That is true, you do have a point. A translator should know enough Japanese to handle things.

You have a point. The translator should know enough Japanese to be able to step in.

Honestly, I’d prefer not to steal. I WANT the anime industry to have something for my appreciation.

To have it simultaneously decrease in quality AND go up in price is a slap in the face.

Anime was made popular by nerds sharing VHS tapes. A friend of a friend of a friend would get some episodes, another friend would add on to it, and it would end up a whole season on one tape that was a copy of a copy of a copy. The first time I saw the correct opening scene of the original Ranma 1/2 I was surprised by how the music didn’t actually warble from being copied. Digital piracy takes away from that because nobody is buying tapes.

Guess I could still buy merch.

Honestly, I have been considering cancelling. The price is going up and the quality is going down. Any 2-bit translator can crank out what they are putting out with raws, screenshots, and voice to text. With the resources they are gleaning, this shit should sparkle.
