mmm, nostalgia (okok)

[lavaliere]

Welp, with 4kids soon to be out of the way (OR SOMETHING??), but a new movie and a new series coming up, I had to wonder.

Just who will be providing subs?

And then I remembered the glorious but hideous Hong Kong Bootlegs. TBH, part of me wishes we'd get more subs from them just out of sheer QUALITY and nostalgia. I doubt this would happen, but

Going through this tumblr and talking to people on plurk has me like. Seriously reminiscing about the fandom in the old days. Including fanfics and surprisingly, one of yours came up. I was like "HA, I KNOW HER"

[kohl_eyed]

lolol the old days! the days when anime was so rare! when there was exactly half a shelf of manga at B&N! I still remember the moment I found this exact box set, hilariously bad subs in that yellow font and all, in Chinatown in Philadelphia... *^*;;;;;

>hilariously bad subs in that yellow font.

....YEP

nothing wrong with that, dude. nothing at all.

oh man, last season is the best. HK Subs + QUALITY. the entertainment never ends.

LOL.YOU SHOULD SELL THESE.
You'd make the best salesmen.

[lavaliere]

nah, people on ebay already do that. i do not pity the poor suckers that still buy them thinking they're decent translations.

as for those of us who buy them with the intention of playing drinking games. well.... C:

These will forever be beautiful.

If you mean by fansubs (and not the official ones like Hulu) it'll probably be Goldenumi or GX_ST. In other words good quality fansubs. I still expect lolzy hongkong bootlegs to pop up. And while nobody has posted recent hong kong subs of the spinoffs, there is this malaysian 5D's DVD cover that features a fanart from an infamous Kaiba/Atem Jack/Yusei artist

i love how that stuff is marketed too. "BUY THIS, IT'S TOTALLY LEGIT"

[lavaliere]
