Would you ever want to see translations done internally (in Japan) again just like the good ol' times? That'll ought-ta satisfy these anti-localization f-heads.

Any thoughts on Crunchyroll's moving into home releases and dubbing?

i guess we'll see when they release stuff

Do you have a problem with lolicon elements in games or anime? It's really uncomfortable seeing these reactionaries so pissy when developers tone down the lolicon for Western releases.

can't say i enjoy them myself, but w/e

http://ask.fm/Xythar/answers/138800827000 I'm pretty sure most primary school English teachers (i.e. the authoritative source on whether a comma is acceptable) would frown heavily upon using a comma after a conjunction no matter the context.

if you never use commas after conjunctions then you have to write stuff like "But Xythar, that's not right" which is even worse

Have you ever played the Neptunia games? If so, which ones?

I played the first couple but not for very long. I was going to finish at least one for "research" before subbing the anime but never got around to it

Is Monogatari dropped?

should "tbf" be "to be fair" or "to be frank"?

i think people pretty much always use it in the former sense

I'm ok with your fansubbing and your appreciation of Japan, but I really, really hate, or I can't stand, your extremist PC & SJW views. Leave anime, video games and Western politics alone FFS.

the bar is set really low if using twitter is all it takes to be an extremist these days
in any case, i make no apology for who i am. you get what you get when you follow me. it's ironic that you call _me_ out for being 'politically correct' when what you really want is for me to censor my own opinions according to your own idea of political correctness (even if you won't call it that) so that you don't have to deal with politics you disapprove of encroaching upon your safe space (anime + games).

When does Capitalization for names come into play when you address someone? This is something that has bugged me. Things like "Master, Sir, etc." Any of these forms of calling someone, but not by their given name.

my rule is to capitalise when the word is being used to directly address or refer to someone - as in, you could replace it with their name and it would still make sense
the exception is when it's just being used as a generic honorific or insult rather than an actual title ("Yes, sir", "Right away, ma'am", "Sup, bro", "Shut up, bitch") in which case I would not capitalise

is there a better way to translate 究極カレー than "ultimate curry"?

who knows? would have to see context

Is the concept of a fansubbing "group" outdated? Should all pretense just be done away with?

not unless everyone likes doing every single thing themselves

A genie comes to you and says, "In one hour, I will give you one cent. One hour after that, I will give you two cents. In another hour, four dollars. And so on, doubling every hour. The catch is that the moment you ingest something other than water, I stop forever." How long do you hold out?

~30 hours would already get me more money than i could ever hope to spend in my life and i think i could easily last that long
