Do you harbor any resentment towards Crunchyroll for profiting off fansubs in its early days and turning its back on fansubbers in an effort to legit?

not really, no. i wasn't even fansubbing back then

Do you practice speaking Japanese in addition to understanding it?

nope. so i'm kinda useless in conversation still

in the sentence "the translation was deceptively bad", does that mean the translation was better than it appeared or worse than it appeared?

the latter

I'm interested in subbing, but the time commitment is daunting. I'm too shitty of a writer to edit, my Japanese is still too shit to TL, don't have the eye or time for TSing, etc. Not sure what useful skills I could learn from subbing that I could apply to other stuff to justify the time commitment.

you could learn timing!

Do you think nuclear power will be a big part of the global power supply going forward? Should it be?

the answer to both is 'probably', i guess

Do you think the so-called "tyranny of experts" is in effect in fansubbing, particularly with regard to how some of the experts' apparent personal taste can be portrayed as absolute truth?

i feel like there's only one 'expert' who still does this and most people don't take him seriously anymore

Best raws if I don't feel like waiting for fansub encodes? Trying to watch a few shows this season without subs / with Japanese subs and most of them seem kinda shit. Particularly with Dagashi Kashi.

tbh i think they're all kinda bad? it's all lowest common denominator 8bit tv encodes so pick whoever, really
