Master of Epic

[ladynathena]

At glitteringloke's suggestion, I watched the first episode of Master of Epic last night. Apparently, it's an anime about the RPG game and Inoue-san voices quite a few of the male characters. Of all of his characters, though, my favorite is Rono, an elf warrior in armor

well, i don't do the translating, but on the technical aspect alone, MoE is more challanging because of the on screen text word movement. with KKM i just have to make sure dialogue matches.

for the translators, i know that both have their problems. MoE because of it's unusal words relating to the game (gaara does tons of research on them.) and KKM has problems when gunter opens his mouth to spew out flowy language.

on a note not related to the subs themselves, but to the fandom, our KKM releases really have little love. for one, we're very slow compared to the other groups, but i feel we're much more accurate. i've picked up errors in some of the other groups, and my japanese is really really poor. jouzu ja nai~ XD But that whole situation often makes me feel dejected and less enthusiastic for it. plus there's not nearly enough gunter for my tastess XD for MoE however, we've gotten a few emails from people that make me smile and feel good about the fact we're actually working on it, since we are the only ones doing so.

ah, i've rambled OTL hope that explains stuff?

That's why I've never really bothered with subtitles before, because a lot of the other groups care more about getting it out fast than actually taking the time make sure the dialogue is accurate. (Like the recent Natsume Yuujin Chou episode, the crappy subtitles almost completely ruined the mood for me!) So, don't worry about a thing! I'm sure there's quite a number of people out there who appreciate your subs. :3

what group do you get the natsume subs from?

And at least in the KKM coms, ours is the underappreciated group, and looking at our sharing numbers, it kinda shows too :/

i went through 3 groups for tales of the abyss before i found one that had the right names XD

I'm not sure what group it is, because I found it on youtube (it's here) but I only watched it because I couldn't find the raw in high quality. D8 It was awful, though. Really awful. I should try looking for the raw again...

[glitteringloke]

ugh, youtube at work blocked T_T

the group i dl from is BSS, and not that i notice how accurate they are, at least the grammar and spelling isn't painful.

tokyotosho has raws for almost anything :D

My computer has problems downloading from torrent a lot of the time, so I try to use a direct download if I can. Youtube is easier though, but no one has uploaded the raw yet for both episode 7 and 8, which are the only episodes I really want. D;

And I think the group is called Crunchyroll or something?

[glitteringloke]

crunchyroll is a streaming site, like youtube that's permitted to have natsume a week after it airs, i think (unless you pay them for service, then you get it like, 24 hours later) tho i think there's a group calling themselves crustyroll that does speedsubs of crunchyroll permitted shows.
