"WatchableSubs" pls, why such a boring name, why not, for example, [Xygure Kokuthar-san]

I felt I needed to set the bar high for people's expectations.

Which would you recommend watching more: the Psycho-Pass blurays, or the extended cuts? (also, what happened to episode 4 of the extended version?)

The BDs, for much better quality. You can just check the new scenes in the extended edition if you get curious.
Episode 4 was never aired on TV, so all you have for that is Funi rips.

Why are you guys talking about Commie? Anyways, I've come along your ask, without even knowing you. So which group do you work for/with?

Primarily Vivid, but I also do some work for Commie, UTW, and FFF on the side.

What does valerauko do for a living?

He's an anime production assistant or somesuch. Think Aoi Miyamoto in Shirobako.

Religion? Do You pray often?

I was raised as a Catholic, but I'm pretty non-religious these days. I don't make any particular effort to argue one way or the other, it's just not a relevant part of my life.

Which fansubber/group that you haven't worked with yet would you want to team up with?

I still haven't worked with convexity :(

Do you think Commie as a group hasn't died yet because of their policies and the freedom the staff has? As in, doing everything they want, practically?

That's as good a reason as any, I suppose.

Thank you for UBW ;D

No prob. Couldn't have done it without the hard work and dedication of the rest of the team.

Why is Commie still using AAC instead of Opus when the latter reaches transparency at lower bitrates than AAC/Vorbis and it can be muxed with Matroska?

For TV, the audio is not re-encoded, so AAC is what you get.
For BD, you'd have to ask the people encoding them, but I don't really see the point in using some new codec with dubious compatibility/support (judging from a 5-second google of "opus mkv") just to save a few megabytes.

So what's this v2 that HorribleSubs did for F/S? Did they decide to take Commie's subs like with Twintails lol?

Aniplex and/or CR changed a bunch of the script after release, so I assume it was to update it to that.

How much involvement does RHExcelion have with actual Commie projects?

Almost none. The last time I remember him doing something besides paying for the server and managing the review site was at least a season or two ago. herkz is the de facto leader of Commie at this point.

When working on existing scripts (e.g. CR), which should come first? Edit or TLC?

Editing, because the TLC needs to be able to catch if the editor misinterprets a line. It also helps reduce the TLC's workload if the editor gets obvious stuff out of the way.
The editor may also come up with various questions while editing (lines that seem unclear or contradictory, etc) that the TLC can address on their pass.
That being said, it TLC takes place after editing, I prefer it if the TLC can leave comments on problematic lines stating what the issue is instead of changing stuff directly. Makes it a bit easier to keep track of the script and what needs to be done.

How is lord stinx's name pronounced? Like the Gaelic name "Ian" or how it's pronounced in Japanese?

I assume the latter, but I never asked

Where'd you get the name Xythar from? Did you come up with it randomly?

Yeah I came up with it to get into a MUD that required original fantasy-sounding names back when I was like, 13.

nice weather today isn't it? (yay for living in melbourne?!) no but real question, how are you finding amaburi?

I'm out for lunch right now, and the sun, it burnssssss
As for Amagi, loving it. I usually regret picking up Kyoani shows by episode 8 or 9 (or in KnK's case, 5-6) but I'm hoping this one will break the trend.

Is there any show you'd like to re-edit? Maybe one that you think you didn't do a good job on?

Kind of, but I won't, because that's just way too much effort. Just gotta accept what's done is done and move on.
