ESL here, does "it can't be helped" sound weird in English? What are the general synonyms if that's the case?

It's actually a not-uncommon turn of phrase but it's gotten kind of awkward in fansubs because of overuse
You can use all kinds of other stuff like "that's how it is", "we have no choice", "can't blame them", etc

how come red lines in tv encodes look really pixelated? i don't really have any shows on mind but i do remember seeing it, i've also seen it on certain bds like fff's d-frag bds.

Because of chroma subsampling. Most h264 encodes are in 4:2:0 which means they sample the chroma (colour) at half the resolution of the brightness (luma) which for the most part isn't that noticeable but is particularly apparent with reds. It might also be your player not upscaling the chroma to your display very intelligently (try installing madVR and see if it looks any better with the better quality scaling options)

See, I fully agree that Funi's subs are full of laughable lines and decisions. That's why I stopped watching them pretty quickly. Why do you keep putting yourself through that sort of pain? (It's not really just to get screenshots to tweet, right?)

If you mean Assclass, I edit it

show pls your anime archive

Can't. It's on my NAS back home and I've relocated for three weeks.

Why are you even edit Fate⁄stay Night Unlimited Blade Works? Commie releases it without edit too. You can save a lot of time without edit!

What would be the point?

How important is it to know how to use mocha when typesetting?

I don't think you can really typeset without it unless all the signs are very simple.

Thanks for spoilering Samurai Flamenco -.-

That wasn't even specific and the show has been out for a year. Sheesh.

Have you ever watched yaoi anime? If yes, did you enjoy it or did it make you vomit?

I dunno, does Samurai Flamenco count?

If it's any consolation, once Zorak left ADTRW flipped over to everyone aping Dick Spacious' gimmick and seeing who can ironically pretend to be the least outraged and most enthusiastic about fanservice. It's basically all shitposting now. You're missing nothing of value.

Figures. Thanks for the update, anyway.

Do you still post on ADTRW? I don't pay real close attention to that place, but I feel like I haven't seen you post there in a while. (I wouldn't blame you.)

Nah I left a while back because it basically turned into a competition of who could pretend to be the most outraged about fanservice. When they started giving shit to people like Good_Haro and koestl for translating eroge I was out of there.
Anime is frequently shitty and sexist but that's no justification for witchhunts and the massive, constant overcompensation intended solely to fuel goons' senses of superiority (or insecurity, if you prefer).

I don't really have time to do 10 shows a season anymore. | How many of those you edited too? And how hard is it to keep consistent with all the terms etc if you work on so many shows? How is it even possible to keep track of everything? lol

I don't really remember but my max for editing was probably like 6-7. I always had stuff to QC, encode, etc on top of that, though.
I dunno, I just keep it in my head and search past scripts if I'm in doubt. Some people like to keep text files with terminology notes and stuff but I'm not that organised.
