Would Vivid do Hanamonogatari if Commie doesn't?

Given that our main translator is the guy who'll be translating it for Commie, it'll either be there or not at all.

Do you have any arcades nearby that have machines, or do you play at home with hdd data/etc?

Yeah, I mostly play at the arcade. We have most of the above but sadly no Pop'n in Melbourne anymore so I don't really play it much these days.

I looked through your answers and didn't see if it was answered or not (forgive me if it was ;w; ) but which rhythm games do you play?

Quite a few. I've had the most experience with Beatmania IIDX, but I've also played a lot of DDR/ITG and Pop'n Music and a decent amount of Guitarfreaks, Drummania, jubeat, Reflec Beat, and the other Bemani stuff, as well as quite a lot of DJMax (especially Technika). I've also played a lot of random non-Konami music games like the Project Diva series, Frequency and Amplitude, Guitar Hero and Rock Band, Cross Beats and a bunch of other iOS games, and various minor/oldschool games like Parappa and Gitaroo Man.
But I mostly play Bemani these days since DJMax is dead (RIP) and the other games are at best brief diversions.

Was the second Zetsumetsu Kigu Shoujo: Amazing Twins ova really bad or something?

No, it just had the misfortune to be aired around when Futsuu lost his mojo. See also Commie's Haikyuu and UTW's SYD*.
It'll hopefully be done one day, but I really don't know when.

What's your opinion of Doki, anyway? Particularly how they do that shit where they sell BDs, mousemats, that sort of stuff. Reckon it's kind of dodgy buying it from them rather than from Japanese manufactures which would in turn support the actual industry?

Probably. I wasn't even aware they did that because I don't pay a lot of attention to their blog etc to begin with.

Oh, well, no worries. I'll ask this, then: how come Doki is banned from Nyaa?

Repeated rule-breaking, I think. It was kind of before my time.

I was going to ask a question but read all your answered questions to ensure I wasn't asking a questions that you've already answered. However, after reading all the questions I forgot what I was going to ask. You wouldn't happen to know what I was going to ask, would you?

Nope

Is the IRC crew a real thing?

If it is I'm not part of it, so I wouldn't know.
Almost all fansubbers hang out on IRC, but it's just a place to chat and coordinate.

"Amagi Brilliant Park sounds like fun" You {\i1}do{\i0} know that it's done by KyoAni. They'll definitely find a way ( ¬‿¬)

Yeah, I'm not very good at taking my own advice.

Didn't realise UTW staff have their own email, might contact them sometime. Thanks for the help :) Not too bothered about Tari Tari, just came across UTW's scans for it the other day. I'll ask you a proper question this time. Are there any shows that are you interested in later this year/next year?

The two TBS shows next season (Amagi Brilliant Park and Twintails) sound like fun. Beyond that, mostly just continuing split-cour stuff, though I imagine I'll find some other cool shows when they air.

Well the last release for Tari Tari was in Jan 2013 so you're probably right about it not happening. Just checked the credits it was done by Nikon and Ershin so probably should have asked them instead of you. Are they even subbing for UTW anymore? Is there anyway to contact them?

Email, maybe (their addresses are on the staff page). I never really worked with them and they're not on IRC right now so I don't have any way of asking for you.

You were in Germany? On holiday? How was it? Did you like it? What places did you visit?

I was in Hamburg for a day en route to Italy, so I just met up with the guys and we hung around town.
It was a nice place, though. Would've been nice if I had the time to stay longer.

Is the UTW scanlation of the Tari Tari manga dead or stalled?

Was that ever a thing? If it was, I've never seen people mention it, so I assume it's not happening.

hola, will you come to sydney and let me buy you ramen some e time?

Maybe! Not gonna be doing a lot of traveling until I get back to work though.

Why do you think so few groups sub h-anime, and why those that do are so poor and seemingly backwards in how they do things? Is it just due to a lack of interest from subbers compared to standard anime? I know FFF and UTW had off-shoots for subbing hentai anime, but it seems they've been abandoned.

Lack of interest is probably the main thing. Beyond that, the standards (and priorities) are just much lower, I guess? Not like people fap to typesetting, and hentai isn't exactly known for being wonderfully written or animated. I doubt much of it needs subs at all.

I don't get it, why do You stay in commie if you practically hate them?

"Hate" isn't really accurate. There are a few people I don't really get along with, but I'm perfectly fine with most of the staff.
That being said, given that most of those people aren't exactly tied to Commie, I'm mostly just there to work with herkz these days (and BD projects).

Since you're in UTW, can you tell me whether UFW is dead or not?

UFW's been dead for a long time, not that I was ever involved.

what is duwang subs. example pls

[Xythar] .duwang
[ServrheV5] The first to remember) Jojo. how woody act like you but he is always making hard on my punvh!!

You're part of many fansubs groups, how do you balance the workload ? Is it based on the show you like or something ?

I don't do a show for every group every season, so it really just depends on what's airing and who else wants to work on it. I'm probably going to concentrate mostly on Vivid going forward though.
As far as the individual shows go, the trick is just to get everything done as it airs without letting things pile up from week to week.

Speaking of nicknames, where did "Xythar" come from?

Back when I was like 12-13 (so late 90s), I was trying to get into a MUD (anyone remember those?) that required people to use an "original fantasy-sounding name" for what I guess was atmosphere and role-playing purposes. I made this name up on the spur of the moment and stuck with it ever since.
Funnily enough, I never actually got into that MUD. My account got rejected with "No X- and Z-names please", which wasn't even in the rules...
