wot happen?!1!?111?!1
So... Uh, there was like this band called gg. In the beginning there was this fag named Dogfag and we kicked him out 'cause he was a fag. Moving along, the band leader Koda made a splinter band called Sphere with this guy named Soulfag from this other band called Bruised Ichigo. Later, Koda left gg over songwriting issues with the bands songwriter, Eliza, who loved the phrases "sure fine" and "that fellow". Eventually, after hearing the music for Dead Girls, Eliza exploded and Mint took over the band. Friendly band Digitalpanic gave three concerts with gg called the Picture Book tour. Meanwhile, Koda punched Soulfag and took some Sphere people to embark on a project. By chance, Koda and El met up with TheFluff at Dominos, and they began project Dominos with various people from Sphere. Older members of gg were found and pulled into the project. House was found stoned at KAA and Xabin was kidnapped from the European Union after roaming the lands of Azeroth. And thus, Dominos was born, and Jesus put our pizza in the oven. While working on material for Dominos in late February, the band got the idea to revive gg. There was a rather unfortunate and unexpected casualty: el died of an overdose. Auditions were held in secret to find a replacement for him, resulting with new talent from Poland and Brazil filling up his place. With this mix of new and old band members uhh... whatever hi.
schneizel is a pedo
Schneizel and the Tian Zi will become marriage and marriageify. Any questions?
so liek, about dem r2 subs
- Some faggoty magazine said Chinese Union in English, as opposed to translating Renpou as Federation. I'm liek, "lulz whatever".
- ...but then they decided to spell it Chinese Federation on screen. Make up your fucking minds.
- In R2 02, Anya really does say hell. In moonspeak we call this word JIGOKU. :O This is not a typo of hill.
- Relevant: An ant hell is a sitution in which the only possible outcome is ZETSUBOUSHITA.
- Akasha is the Sanskrit word for a/ether, the magical 5th element of the classical Greek elements. It's something like the material that makes up all existence. The Emperor is sounding pretty fucking badass here.
- Tian Zi (天子) is a title of Chinese sovereignty. We are leaving it as Tian Zi because it's... a Chinese title. :p In English it's usually translated to Emperor, though the Emperor of China in Geass happens to be an Empress.
- Okay, apparently using "The Imprisonment (that is made of) the Academy" gives off the impression that the Academy is imprisoned. LOLSRY.
- [insert stuff about Chinese in ep 4 here]. The Chinese palace place is like, a fucking color joke. Zzzz. You see, the thing that English speakers know as the Chinese Forbidden City, the Chinese actually translates to Purple Forbidden City. Now, Taniguchi is a very funny man (not), so he decided to subtley change the name. The Kanji used in ep 4, when read in Chinese, translates to Vermillion Forbidden City. OH WOW. COLOR JOKES. THAT IS FUCKING HILARIOUS. WOW. I guess we're just going to leave this in Chink if it ever comes up again, 'cause putting Forbidden City doesn't reflect the color joke, and English people don't seem to know it's specifically the Purple Forbidden City, so just putting Vermillion Forbidden City would have a lost effect. Uh. Give advice?
- On the topic of Chinese, does anyone know if you're supposed to translate that sky shit from the Three Kingdoms SPECIFICALLY as "The [color] Sky has perished"? Like, see, Google seems to love that phrase, so I'm wonder if that's THE ONE WAY to translate it. I put "The [color] Sky has set" because I thought it sounded cooler but like if there's some ONE ULTIMATE TRUE WAY to translate that (and that way happens to be perished or whatever), please inform me. D:
- At the end of ep 4, Lelouch compares Rolo to a cloth in Japanese, but like, no one in English fucking says "OMG CLOTH!!" so we equated it to what people who spekgudengrish do say, which is trash.
re: dominos geass s1 dvd releases
Okay. The comments about Dominos are getting retarded. Yes, the DVD's are still being done. Do you know why they're taking forever? Two reasons: #1: We're re-translating and re-editing the scripts because gg's S1 sucked. If you thought gg's S1 was good, you're a horrible translator and/or editor. Sure, it was the best fansub for the TV airing, but the room for improvement is over 9000. #2: TheFluff, who is encoding, is a slow faggot. In fact, effective immediately, you should all just call him TheFag.
clarity, fineprint, etc
- The old website will not be opened back up.
- Our main form of communication is IRC.
- We only sub in softsubs/h264/mkv/720p.
- Everything is softsubbed: Karaoke, Typesetting, Etc.
- There will be no low res version.
- There will be no hardsubbed version.
- We still hate VLC.
- Added: We also hate Internet Explorer.
- We will not be finishing any old gg projects. You can find whatever was sitting on the old FTP of the scripts in the Old Scripts folder.
- Added: To clarify, we will not be finishing these projects because the staff is different. Namely, Eliza, who was the translator who was translating Seto, Red Garden/Dead Girls, Murder Princess, and Oh Edo, randomly disappeared which is why the group died in the first place. As for Hidamari, apparently it was all translated but not going anywhere. Or something. Idk.
- Regarding Seto: BakaWolf is finishing up Seto no Hanayome. Their staff member, tun, is an ex-gg staff member. Unfortunately, tun lacks skills like basic counting. I mean, he thinks I'm 22. The hell is that shit? I'm only 20!
- We will not sub anything related to old gg projects, such as but not limited to Hidamari 365, Dead Girls, and the Seto no Hanayome OVA.
- Chances are, we will not sub anything except Geass R2.
- We are not openly recruiting new staff.
- We will not link direct download sites from this webpage.
- If you wish to provide a bot, PM the person with ~ in IRC.
- We really don't need/want/take/etc donations.
- Ops in IRC can do whatever they want, lawl.
- Please come play mafia with us in IRC? :(
- GG AND ECLIPSE. BEST FRIENDS FOREVER.
- We have a raw capper who is also the encoder. He gets us transport stream and closed captions.
We're going to start adding the closed captions as a Japanese sub track, but ep 01's are in the R2 script folder now.Okay fuck that the closed captions aren't very parse-friendly. - Domino's Pizza Supports the Empire. All Hail Schneizel.
- Eliza, if you're reading this, grunty and Blue-kun would really like to sub Kara no Kyoukai, lol.
- If you're on the auto-kick list in IRC and you don't know why, it's probably because you pissed a staff member off w/o realizing it.
- We don't want to sub fucking recap episodes.
- Expanded: We don't want to sub recap episodes, or rather, episodes with a xx.5 label because it means they were unscheduled episodes and unscheduled recap episodes means the director is failing somewhere and we'd like to be as positive about this as possible. :)
- However: If the xx.5 episode were to change a retarded amount of things theeeen I guess that's a bit different!
- Expanded: We don't want to sub recap episodes, or rather, episodes with a xx.5 label because it means they were unscheduled episodes and unscheduled recap episodes means the director is failing somewhere and we'd like to be as positive about this as possible. :)
- AnimeSuki, NicoNico wants you to die. Lawl.
- Dominos releases will be continued at whatever rate. Since the staff of Dominos is working on R2 for gg and Eclipse, S1 DVD's are going to be a bit backburner. :p
- Clarity: Or rather, Dominos will be released never because TheFluff is TheFag.
- We will probably release within ~12hrs of airing unless personal, real life stuff gets in the way.
- Exception: [aether] Like, if there was an episode in R2 with Schneizel as like a 10yr old kid, gg's release would be delayed by like 12hrs because koda is fapping.
- If you would like to send us a c&d, please contact miasmacloud at gmail dot com with proof of ownership.
- Added: Someone sent an e-mail asking if they could send e-mails (lol) about stuff that doesn't go, "STOP SUBBING THIS ANIME". That is SURE FINE, I guess!
- People who say "We win we win" in their TokyoTosho comments aren't ones who say "Fansub race is /srs/ business" to people on 4chan who are lol'ing at them being beaten by [WeWin]. You look especially retarded when the people you're beating don't spam "Omg we were out first" over our webpage or torrents or AniDB. So, Chihiro, become Babelfish and Babelfishify. Also, gg didn't do the [WeWin] release. Enjoy your b& from #eclipse. Speaking of Eclipse, funny how you praise them after the "Fuck the people who say Eclipse is better than T-K" comments on AniDB. Furthermore, nice ad on AnimeSuki. Tired of the Chinese to English cross translation?
- tl;dr: Fail troll is fail.
