Isn't the whole point of the news thread the fact that we don't need to make threads like this? Threads that are going to get 15 replies saying "Yeah MAL is shit we know" and sage itself to obscurity? Just like with the Crunchyroll thing.

That looks useful.
Sometimes the things sub groups do are baffling. I looked through a couple shows to see what the site was like, and the only fansub listed for Yorimoi actually removed honorifics and Japanese name order from the CR subs they used as a base.

For all the shit official subs get, even though they deserve most of it, sometimes you get really good subs out of them. From this season the Bakabon subs come to mind. In my experience it's usually general audience comedy shows that get the retarded memesubs.

Basically my thoughts. The only three reasons to even look at MAL are to see fansub groups, keep track of your anime if you're a pleb, and look up the names of characters (in which case wikipedia and various anime-specific wikis are growing in number these days anyways).

You watch your whore mouth because niche does not mean bad. There have been good shows that haven't gotten official subs.

I fucking remember that. The HS release of that show was just terrible. If I recall correctly I think some lines were just randomly offset to some part of the screen and even the English was bad at times.

The anime industry is focusing more on the foreign market, no longer turning a blind eye to piracy, crushing any former existing fan communities that don't comply, and trying to rack in as many normalfags as they can.
Maybe you'd disagree with that but that's my takeaway

MAL isn't the anime industry, it's just a site western illegal watchers use to count their anime watched. A glorified spreadsheet.
That you think MAL is somehow related to the anime market really proves how reddit you are.

Considering that MAL was bought by a Japanese company and at least have attempted to enter the streaming market in the past, I don't think they're unrelated.

For what it's worth, these things aren't budgeted or marketed with filthy gaijin like us in mind. Buying a few figurines and keeping the import business alive is nice, but anime and manga live and die entirely by the Nip market.

That's a shame. I've been going through some 90's anime and I'm really appreciating the work those old sub guys did. They really did it out of love it seems as the show I just finished had signs properly subbed and the custom sub fonts. But we all should know the more mainstream something becomes it forces out the real fans.

You want it to be easier to give anime studios money. That's going to encourage anime studios to cater to normalfag Americans, who grossly outnumber you.

I've mentioned it once before, and I encouraged anons to support the people who worked on the anime directly when I did. If it's brought up all the time it's probably because a lot of people agree.
