Will this be the beginning of the second Fansub renaissance?

matt kicked the bucket and jakka is too busy jerking off to idolmaster to keep the rabid dog in check

In such a capitalistic world, the only way someone would sub is if they get paid for it.

but they don't actually do anything

>Buying subs at the us mexico border
Classy

>fansubs are dead, scanlations are also dying
party is over boys, time to get another free hobby

You can learn Japanese for free.

isn't really any easier to find raws than subs, usually

What's Erai?

>anime-for-beer handoffs at the border
The mental image alone is killing me.

>The most money I ever spent on a deal with a sub group was for a case of Corona for the handoff at the US-Mexican border for some GaoGaigar raws.

What the fuck, tell me more grandpa, this is amazing

Oh man, I'm having palpitations, horrible was my go-to for what feels like a decade.
It was so nice and easy, especially at the start of the season where you just slam episode 1s to find what you might like. shit, fuck. Now I have to scrape through nyaa to find whatever the fuck group is half decent.

And I like weird shows that probably don't get as many subs too. And especially worse as Crunchy is no longer the go-to, with shows spread across like 5 different services now.

Yep, the passion to do it even on commission and releasing for free isn't there anymore compared to the 00s. The people with the most time to organize this, which are younger Millennials and older Zoomers with competent Japanese and English skills would rather work on other stuff that is easier like scans commissions or do things that pads out the resume in a legit manner. And there's a lot of institutional loss too in my opinion. I think the art of encoding isn't that bad anymore this day and age so no loss there, but I doubt anyone still has those old Aegisub tutorials and tricks for karaoke typesetting who are still around, let alone be willing to pass it on to someone. Of course, there are still groups that do niche stuff who have competency but expecting anything beyond that is too optimistic.

It's always the Kpop fans that ruins everything.

It's not gonna get better till all the normies move on to the next fad and anime goes back to being niche again.

What kind of reasoning is this? Fansubs always were made for attention and e-cred. Less people watching means less DLs, means less incentive to make it in the first place.

Just download the fucking raws + subs separately
No one needs fansubs anymore unless you're a complete retard

I mean, if you care to trawl nyaa you can usually find other subs.... for popular shows. Horrible wasn't the best, but they made pretty much everything accessible. Since they ripped from services other than Crunchy, with anime spread across Funi's platform, Hulu, Netflix, and a few other obscure streaming services, This is an immense loss for fansubbing and accessibility of anime without paying $40 a month in subs.

This is the only objective truth. Most people don't care.

Among people I know the reaction is split between 3 groups.

1. People panicking, since Horrible was their main sauce
2. All new anime is bad anyway, I just rewatch my DVDs from the 00s endlessly
3. Just sub to crunchy/funi/hulu/netflix you pirate scum

I feel like the whole torrenting thing in general is slowly being killed. Which is a shame.

> implying that fansubs are dead
> thinks fansubbing and Daiz is synonymous
kys normalf/a/g

Not while Cartel Nyaa is gatekeeping any indie releases that don't join the circlejerk, no.

I don't even know what Daiz is.

Nobody gatekeeps anyone in it. Fansubber wannabes are just snowflakes that hate having their basic errors pointed out.

The very idea of fans gatekeeping other fans has always been bullshit. Some new fag comes in and asks what episodes of LONG RUNNING SHOW they can skip and act like nobody's supposed to tell them to quit being faggots and somehow this is gate keeping. There's a world of difference between locking people out and telling very obvious posers to fuck off.

It's not dying, just with streaming being normalised the people REALLY invested in torrenting and piracy in general have taken the muh secret club direction and it's becoming locked up behind all these semi-obscure "scene" sites. To keep it up you need to be fucking invested in pirating with about 100 hard drives and a 25/8 uptime... which makes casual piracy hard so people end up getting streaming subs because it's easier.

Somebody's just going to set up the same ripping operation and become the next HS. Definitely not expecting a resurgence of fansubs, shit's dead man

Fansubs were a marvellous fandom undertaking back in the day, but it was loaded with so much drama

Well I just hope new dominant subbing group will also provide OP and ED songs subs. And that they'll upload uncensored versions of episodes.
