Misc: Complaints about Subtitles
-
darn otakus, they need to get a life. subtitles are good, but some idiots decided to put their personal comments about the particular sentence while subbing an anime. its too much!
e.g. Really? (I am really tempted to put O RLY?)
wus the extra comment for!? extra!! -
which anime?
or u can download from other fansubs what.. -
maybe next time they can make their subs separate from the video and audio in an mkv container so anyone who doesnt want to see their subs or comments can edit it or something like that......

I liked Yakitate!! Japan's subbers the most.
I think it was Anime-Empire.
Besides having the usual subs, they also frequently had explanations for various terms used in the anime, such as what Echire butter is, on the top of the screen in a semi-transparent box.
I've not seen any with personal comments yet, but I find subtitles with poor punctuation and grammar skills annoying cos they take more time to digest.
