Tsubasa Chronicle 2nd Season MASTER THREAD

<< < (20/95) > >>

Oh and also in the begining of the forum some1 said that because Tsubasa is dl 25x more often that it means Tsubasa fans only like Tsubasa. I have to agrue that maybe we just watch other anime from other sources. ^^ I watched my Tsubasa from youtube.com upto now so the dl statisics don't nessasarly show who is actually watching what. ^^ Oh and if I got my facts wrong ( did you say 5x or 2x or 25x? @_@) please pardon me. Its 5am and I'm pretty tired. ^^ Night ppl~

Usually, I don't post on these kinds of forums, but having kept track of this thread for the better part of a week, I feel that "my two cents" on this heated debate is worth posting.

On the subject of "late" releases: Japanese is a difficult language. I've taken 3 semesters of it and I still can only pick up a little of what is said without subtitles. To be able to subtitle an entire episode/movie of anime, I have no doubt requires, an insane amount of work, not just in the translating, but also in the editing. What you fansubbers do is a job. And you do it for free. To be constantly barraged with less than tactful exclamations of impatience from people who watch the shows you sub is frustrating, and understandably so. What you deserve are "thank you"s and not "you're late"s.

On the subject of liking "sellout" anime: As someone who watches Tsubasa, I find offense to the notion that I am grouped with people who need a "weekly fix" of the one anime that they only watch because its popular. I had no idea it was as popular as it was until I wandered into this forum. I started watching it as soon as it began being subbed, since I had been purchasing the US Del Rey releases of the manga, and still am. Anime that I like that I can afford to purchase, namely shorter series, I purchse on DVD when it is released in the US. I own Haunted Junction, Sorcerer Hunters TV, Magic Users Club, a bit of Excel Saga, and some fragments of Sailormoon and Dragonball here and there, to name a few. Being in college, I can't afford to purchase much of anything that I would consider leisurely, but I have every intention of expanding my legal, liscened anime collection. On the internet, I watch as much anime as I can from various different sub groups, to expose myself to everything that my schedule will allow me to. Eyeshield 21 and The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya are both amusing newer series that I enjoy, but at the same time, I also enjoy watching Tsubasa. While it's frustrating to see something you've been into for a long time (namely anime) become a fad for the masses, it's also frustrating to be among those masses, and to be categorized with them simply for sharing their tastes.  At the same time, everyone has to start somewhere, and you can't really blame someone for realizing something is cool years after you have.

Can we all stop fighting now?

cnet128:
I endorse the above post. (EDIT: at the bottom of the previous page ¬_¬)

And Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu is brilliance :D Though I've only so far found time to watch the first two episodes >.< Must...watch...more...

Murphy:
I found myself registering just to reply that I agree with both cnet and flawney's posts.

The idea that people seem to have that if you happen to like a "popular" anime, you're a sell-out is ludicrous.

I say that having been a fan of anime since I was a small child watching shows like Voltron on TV and travelling to Boston to see Akira in a theatre. For people to e-thug others over something as simplistic is, in most cases, hypocritical and childish. We ALL like something that's "popular", so don't think that you're above everyone else simply because you happen to like something a minute before other people do.

Besides, everyone started SOMEWHERE with anime. If, for some people, it's Tsubasa, who CARES? A good lot of you probably started out watching stuff like DB/DBZ or CCS or Sailor Moon (still a fan of CCS and SM, thanks) so what's the problem? Sorry, but you can't be 1337 about anime and still wear t-shirts bought at Hot Topic, that place hasn't been cool in over 10 years. Neither can most people claim that their intro to anime/manga wasn't something imported into the US--which means it was ALREADY popular before you discovered it. *"you" being a general term*


Because, if that's the way it's going to go down, I probably would kick 95-99% of yer butts since I've been into anime for 20+ years.

japanese isnt a very hard foreign language to learn... once you take Japanese I you can basically GUESS the whole episode from the pictures & words you pick out... there are just too many verb forms blecah
