Between the shit going on with funimation, nu-adv, crunchyroll, and netflix (this is too many parenthesis to type out), is there even such a thing as a good company?

 No.75328

No. This question gets asked in every thread about a localization group. They are all shit, have been shit for over twenty years, and are still run by the same fuckers this whole time.

<is there such a thing as a good television broadcaster or cable company?

Is basically what you are asking. So riddle me this, have you ever encountered an objectively good cable provider or tv broadcaster?

No? I thought not.

 No.75418

No, all manners of localization, re-appropriation or even plain translation of the original content, even if the company or group of people doing it doesn't have any subversive intentions and agendas to push, necessarily end up being shit. Learn the language or fuck off. And I'm not even saying this from an elitist standpoint. You're missing an awful lot be being content with localized versions of whatever media you're consuming, whether that's anime or something else, and you're predisposing yourself to subversion too.

What makes a good company is different from what makes for a good hobby. How good a company is is defined by its Return on Investment.

Not that any of those are particularly great there either, since they all manage to sabotage the reason people buy from them in the first place.

The first issue is that any disturber is going to want a large audience for their product. The licensing companies will pander to undesirables outside the community, such as progressives. The second issue is that they will do things as quickly and as cheap as possible, resulting in poor quality translations. So in conclusion NO! Fuck these greedy companies and their garbage agenda's.

No. Pirate, always pirate, Or import BDs directly from Japan if you want to le support le industry. Hope you understand Japanese, though.

At present? Absolutely not. Kikes and their laws have made companies all-powerful, and normalfags by their cattle-nature will support anything they do. Under these conditions, A company will always be shit, because there are no checks and balances to stop corrupt behavior (and the few laws there are to stop this never get enforced because Jew will never arrest Jew).

This is all without factoring in subversive factors such as ((localizers))) who don't know shit about the language they're paid to translate, are offended by nip humor and fanservice, are failed writers parasitically altering the text so they can live vicariously through someone else's published work, have poor impulse control and can't stop themselves from trying to be """"""funny""""""", or just outright hate fans of anime and deliberately sabotage things to spite them. Who cares after all; the normalcattle will make up the losses anyway!

I do believe it's possible for a straight arrow faithful translation to be good. But the thing is, there's established cliques in this industry that not only won't do this (I recall reading somewhere they actually get paid on how much they change shit), but choke out any possible competition that might do so.

In the past, maybe a minuscule. But in current times, no. You're better off learning moon and buy straight from the source, pirate shit, or both.

neil gaiman doing monoke was good even when stuff was changed. but he's an accomplished author, so it's more the exception than the rule.

The question should be;

Is there a TL group who are not in cahoots with any (((localizers))) like cr/netflix/fakku, one who are also not strongarmed/cucked into following their every whim?


 No.75760

>>75753

Unfortunately, freelancers that do it for free/some dotations and/or as practice are the best option in Current Year.

However. they don't stay around for long because they either to Japan or to translate more serious and more profitable things after they get language certificates on B2/C1 level.

I heard it takes around 5-7 years for Japanese.

The silver lining is that neither of those cucks are in positions of power; they're just grunts paid for labor and not to think. Keep in mind discotek has released Angel Cop and Mad Bull 34, that's as anti-soy as one can get.

Discotek strikes me as a company with good intentions but will eventually fall to subversive forces. It's obviously run by an oldfag with a passion for preserving older anime. They've done some great stuff such as giving titles like Robot Carnival an HD release when one didn't even exist in Japan; and actually giving Angel Cop a faithful retranslation. That said, the thing about oldfags is that they're not always savvy with what's happening and can be misled into putting their trust in the wrong hands. As was said, there are some worrisome people freelancing there, and they've made some questionable choices lately, such as getting Team Four Star to dub Hells.

Is this some freelance autist who is whoring his shilling "skills" off to dub groups? Did the dub groups not get the memo that '/animu/ isn't a board to shill on?'

Why do you need a licensing company?


 No.83874

>>77498

The pitfalls oldfags can fall into are incredibly worrisome, but the fact that the company is based in Florida means all logic was thrown out the window to begin with. Discotek's president could receive another gem one week and then just as easily hire the crunchyroll whales to hold plastic flamingos in his yard while children throw eggs at them.


 No.83897

What doesn't help is that companies aren't satisfied staying in their niche. If someone buys an unrelated product, that's money they could have spent on the company's product. So the execs try to appeal to this "untapped market." They see all other businesses as competition, and they refuse to believe that there are some people who have specific interests and that targeting a single niche well is more lucrative than trying to establish a large customer base. This leads to a lot of the scummy shit flinging, shilling, and lowering standards to appeal to normalfags.

tl;dr No, OP. It would require a non greedy person who probably wouldn't have the disposition for the job.
