Be Grateful to ADC.

Subject: One Piece Episode 276 Coming Soon!

After weeks and weeks of torment, episode 276 is nearly ready for your viewing pleasure. We're sorry for the 'late' release. Please note that we do have lives outside of the fansubbing scene. We have other things that need doing, so sometimes we need to sort out our priorities. So all of those insulting emails telling us to get off our sorry asses and work are really not overly welcome, so if anyone is to blame for the delay, blame those who can't appreciate a favour.

Anyway, expect the release tomorrow! ^^/

Wickio

I'm not one to post often, especially to flame. But the very fact that Wickio even had to write this on thier front page pissed me off.

I myself am a very busy individual and would find it hard to do something like this as a hobby. This type of selfishness and insensitivity of a "favor" that someone doesn't even have to do infuriates me. You should be happy that these groups even sub at all.

Imagine your mom or someone else cleans your room every week out of the goodness of her heart. Then after so many weeks of consistency she doesn't get to it in her usual time frame. Are you going to cuss mom out, do it your self, or simply chill.

I imagine most of you would choose option 1.

That analogy isn't spot on but you get my point. If I got repeated insults because of favors I was doing people, I would STOP doing the favors. Please don't ruin things for others. These guys could quit doing this anytime they felt like it.

There is no One Piece this Sunday because of the special next Sunday. So honestly "english speakers" got there "bye week" this week instead of next week. Learn to look on the bright side of things.

Please do us all a favor, if ADC gives us a Sunday release be grateful, if ADC gives us a Monday release be grateful, if ADC gives us a Friday release be grateful, if ADC gives us a release at all be greatful. THIS IS NOT THEIR JOB, IT'S THEIR HOBBY! YOU ONLY HAVE A RIGHT TO COMPLAIN IF COMMERCE IS EXCHANGED! SO BE GRATEFUL!

/sigh…Please be grateful...not just with them but in life. It will do you some good.

kryptonite

I wonder what kind of people would do that… >_>

They should be ashamed.:getlost:

UNKNOWNFILE

I vote for this to be stickied.

Taleran

this is the most truthful post on the forum right now

It's free, and subbed therefore I will not EVER bitch about when it comes out….ITS FREE

Quexinos

Yeah I read that and it pissed me off as well. I concidered making a topic about it but I though it might get closed or something…

anyway, yeah ADC rocks and I can't freakign stand it when everyone is like "OMG WHERE IS IT? WHAT'S TAKING SO LONG?" and if it were my forum or my group, anyone who asked would be instantly banned.

anywho thanks ADC, if you have trouble with some idiots, send them after me, I'll make them sorry =D

EDIT:
and you know, if these people really want the episodes released so badly, they should get off THEIR asses and learn subtitling or something like that to help.

Laeliel

Thanks guys ^^ It seems that this newspost from Wickio opened the eyes of certain people, relieved others to know when was the ep coming up, and made others just wanna say thank you have a look at mailbox :happy:

We shouldn't let angry kids let our moral down anyway ^^' I got a how-so-polite ''suck my dick bitch'' on the channel the day before yesterday from some incompetent moron waiting for 276, as well as frustrated people with absolutely no idea about how much time it took to sub an ep asking where the fuck was the episode. But anyway, it's not something we should care about as long as there'll be people to say thanks once in a while and tell that bunch or retarded kids to stfu >3

That's why this thread is much appreciated ^_^

Rhombus

We spoiled them with 2 Sunday releases in a row. Then One Piece has been gone for a month, we were all going through withdrawal. Hell, I want burn our new release, melt it down, and inject it into my bloodstream.

This doesn't justify annoying Wickio or Laeliel, because the time it takes to read yours and all the other people who send unhelpful criticism is time could have been used towards the episode.

Wickio

best.thread.ever

Seriously, as much as I hate getting all those emails, I love hearing stuff like this much more. Thanks so much for all the kind words, from you and everyone else. After I posted that news on the site, I've been swamped by thankful emails and letters of apology. So again, thank you all for sticking with us and for all these words of appreciation. It really makes everything worthwhile. =P

For proof, check my job status. It's dedicated to you kdb! XD

@UNKNOWNFILE:

I vote for this to be stickied.

I second that movement! I also believe that kdb should be given a medal for having the bravery to post this in a public forum. You shoulda made the thread earlier, Quexinos. ^.~

@Laeliel:

I got a how so polite ''suck my dick bitch'' on the channel the day before yesterday from some incompetent moron waiting for 276

He was probably just asking for a general favour. <_<

the14u

you know you guys should be a little strict and keep this in your channel topic "Ask/Whine for a release = BAN from irc and tracker so you can't get the torrent later". Seriously those who whine must really be kids cause they don't really know how much work it needs.

Tank252ca

I'm very sorry to hear that you and Wickio have to put up with crap like that. Your fan subs have really improved since the group first formed. The effort is appreciated.

Any morons that have nothing better to do with their time than to rag on people who are providing free fansubs, well, they need to get a life! It's just a tv show, kiddies. If your One Piece fix is late, go find some friends and play some sports, or video games, or explore YouTube or MySpace. If your idea of fun is to swear at people on IRC, then you need to take a long hard look at yourself. There are hundreds of shows available; more than you could ever have time to watch. To get bent out'a shape over a free fansub is just sickening.

kdb

You guys makin' me feel like I won a Pulitzer prize or something. lol!

This just needed to be said especially on your AP forum page because so many fanboys lurk here.

Anyway, once again thanks for the previous releases and the one scheduled for tomorrow and beyond. Like many others One Piece is my favorite anime right now and the very fact that that all the episodes were made available by guys like you, kaizoku, gerusama, balf, etc with not good but stellar subs that would rival American fansub companies is very much appreciated.

Boy that was a "run on" setence if I ever saw one.

DarthEnder

Well said kdb. Well said.

psycho wolvesbane

KDB that sentence is NOTHING compared to the long sentences I usually type up, I do have a tendancy to skip a few commas and full stops once in a while.

CosmicDebris

I can't believe people are that selfish and unable to see past their own little lives that they do that kind of stuff. OK I'm not really surprised, but still, I don't understand people like that. I'm glad I can at least stop people from posting stuff like that here.

Please just ignore those fools, ADC. It's too bad you can't somehow prevent them from downloading just to frustrate them more.

PS - I don't think I should sticky this particular topic, but maybe a "Be Grateful to Fansubbers and don't harrass them" general topic should be created and sticked in the fansub forums.

spaz

Maybe we should like take all of the jerks and post there names somewhere hahaha and make them look like morons.. and i also hate all the people that say yeah I can wait 2 days for this release and its the same people that do it and to me it looks like they are telling adc to hurry up, people like that should just stop posting its really annoying

Minzara

You know, it's really sad what people have become. What ever happened to having respect for your fellow man? I swear, everytime I read something about people "Complaining" about not getting there "fan-sub" or what Its called in the streets now "Fan-Crack." Okay, that was made up, but you get my point. Have children these day lost all reason? Or are they just stupid? Seriously, to complain about a "fan-sub" not being release on time, is about as pointless, and stupid, as complaining about not getting your free donut, or something from school. It's "Free", I mean wow. Back in the old days, they used to have to copy the stuff from tape to tape, and most of the time it wouldnt be subbed, and it would still cost you a butt load. Now its free, and people complain…..sad times....sad times indeed....

Bon_Kurei

I just registered to say:ADC rocks
As i said a lot on adc-heaven's forum as Yvore you guys are giving us free high quality fansubs how can anyone complain? I for one am really thankful
to you because I can see my favorite anime and understand it too.I agree this should go sticky and if there was a way to prevent hatemail senders
from downloading the episodes I'd love it.

Anyways keep up the good work and take all the time you need
I'll wait as much as required for your fansubs.

Malintex_Terek

People really need to stop complaining; releases come when they're finished, however long it takes, and there is no need to bash someone who bequeaths onto us a free service.

Just to let you associates of ADC know, I'm always in awe of your products. Of all the "sample editing" I've done thus far to get a flavour of how hard fansubbers/editors/scanslators work, subtitling while translating something like OP while giving the high definition episodes a polished quality is an incredible feat, and I thank you for your dedication.

Mr. Dimond

It all boils down to one thing. If you have fans, then they will bitch about something. Its true for all fan bases.

Hell, I get a hella lot of bitching about "LOL DEMO PLEASE" "WHEN DEMO COME OUT" "I WANT DEMO" "MAKE THIS IN THE GAME OR I HATE YOU" "YOU SHOULD DO THIS INCREDIBLY STUPID IDEA" "YOU REJECTED MY INCREDIBLY STUPID IDEA I HATE YOU" etc.

Oh and never assume people read. The law of the internet says, IF YOU POST IT, SOMEONE WILL NOT READ IT. And then theres a 78.9% chance they will email you about it.

Fans are lazy, fans are edgy, fans are morons. BUT DONT LET THIS DETOUR YOU! Just brush it off and block their emails or whatever.

Keep doing what you love to do, and dont worry about the 12 year olds with five hours a day to email spam you for the next release. This is one of the fastest subbing groups out there for almost any anime. BE PROUD OF WHAT YOU DO!! BE PROUD AT YOUR STATUS!! I SUPPORT YOUR EFFORTS!!

wintergt

Man am I the only one who sees the recurring pattern of: complaints.. someone pointing out it's FREE!!.. everyone telling him how right he is.. complaints.. and the cycle continues?

Btw it's not because something is free that people can't complain.. complaints are "free" too, so you can't complain about the complaints by your own logic! Whether you take them seriously or not is everyone's own bussiness however.

That being said.. I'm gonna write a love letter to Laeliel if ADC releases the next ep on sunday k!

Asami-chan

I know exactly what it means to be so busy and have 487598437250 things that need to be done >.< and I hate it when some people can't understand this fact.. I guess its not so easy to subtitle an episode… lol I tried one day to do that o_O specially the Karaoke effects for the songs subtitling ..its SO hard.

anyways. Thank you very much guys ^^ you rock!

Laeliel

That being said.. I'm gonna write a love letter to Laeliel if ADC releases the next ep on sunday k!

Eh, a love letter from mr.-big-mouth-I-like-to-bash-your-English in person? Man, that's worth the try =P But next episode is kinda a double episode -_-; We're in a predicament there o.o;;

I understand your point of view, my only hope is that those persons read this thread or something similar before sending hate mails/complains or whatever. It applies to every fansub group too, can't count how many times a day I read the sentence "K-F are slow" on IRC whenever I get in a convo with someone -- Same with geru, people may be thinking we'll take bashing of other groups as a compliment >>;; Sounds more arrogant to me than anything. I don't think such attitudes towards subbers should be tolerated, be it about the group I'm in or other groups. So if there's a thread made to discuss this, so be it, it'll only make things go better - I hope. Anyway you always have something to whine about, don't you? O__o

"hey spaz, don't spaz out on me" heh heh, sorry I had to say it.

Anyways, ya, I tend to do that. (post that I am patient) but I don't mean it the way you think it's coming out. I'm sorry if it looks that way. I really do mean it when I say I don't mind waiting. I guess I figure they hear so much "hurry up, why isn't it out yet" that it's good to hear someone say to them" no problems, take your time" I'd like to hear that if I were them. Also, I like giving my 2 sence, and posting gives me something to do while waiting.

Anyways, about your list of "jerks" I totally agree. No one should have to put up with that for doing something nice. I was disapointed to read wickido's post on the site this morning too. kdb hit it right on the nose.

you could release one on Sunday then the other later =P

nah that's fine, I don't really care how you do it.. the second one is the one I wanna see o.o;

Ban…no. Fake torrent with something really really bad, boring or stupid. Send it to them as a private message saying that they can have the torrent file. Then after downloading, they find they have a not-One Piece episode of something, followed by some little note about them and their intelligence level...

Whats a really bad anime?

PS: I might feel differently tomorrow, after sleep and some lego starwars

That works as a punishment.

Why are people impatient with subs anyway?

UNKNOWNFILE

Because they are retarded people who just want to see Olivia have sex with… er, watch the episode.

A.M.S

I have always appreciated fansubbers work, they make it so I can find new shows that are awesome including OP. I haven't even Dled the new ep of OP yet, because of the lack of new episodes, I need to try to space it out a bit at least, even tho the new OP craving is there. I can't wait till the davy back arc starts to be subbed and Op goes back to its old scedule. Anyhow like someone said the people who complain are probally young kids or people who don't know what goes into Fansubbing, I am greatful thats all I know.

oh oh porn, make it porn! Like … really gross hardcore stuff. they'll be like "OMG THIS EPISDOE OF OP IS SO HOT!"

@l2agnarok:

It's a form of appreciation. Imagine ADC, or any other group, would be a week late in releasing an episode.. and noone had said anything.. like, noone even cared. That would be discouraging don't you think?

Dread Pirate Bananna

Yeah, I don't understand how people can get so… entitled... over something that others are working hard on completely for free. I have nothing but respect for ADC; yes, they may not be Kaizoku, but they get great, ACCURATE subs out at a very good time. (Compare them to Ouran HSHC's Lunar subs, which take about a month to get out and are often preceded by flaky-quality beginner groups or Chinese subtitles.) It's hard to wait sometimes but it's better than nothing. Big hearts for everyone at ADC!

mvlax22

All the sweetness in this thread gave me a toothache. I'll have my dentist send you the bill, ADC!

P.S. Thanks and junx..and stuff

Great post…its sad people are so ignorant

like after i saw this guy on the other thread i found myself writing a post suprisingly similar to Quexinos reply to him so i didnt post
@woozy:

''Instead, a double episode will air on the 24th of September''
i mean, they say its out on the 24th and here its almost the 26th, so i was just wondering why there is a delay of 2 days.

thats just lame…late episode?
when we have a contract with ADC then a "late" episode can exist...otherwise whenever it comes out its exactly on time

imagine if ADC didnt exist how "late" these episodes would be

Cr4zy

@1swift:

We would be begging Gerusama to get working.

Ein

The next person that complaints will get a "Buster call" at their house.

ElZacko

Keep up the good work ADC. You guys are top-notch.

Getting mad at fansubbers is pointless, they all have perfectly able reasons not to be able to constantly release on the same night the episode airs.

I for one, don't mind waiting, in fact, it makes me anticipate the episode more and enjoy it more as well.

So take your time if you need it.

G35TwinTurbo

I don't see how people can complain when there getting a FREE SERVICE given to them, anywho

thx ADC-ELITES your my hero!

SolarbladeII

Why don't people just download the RAW off Saiyaman's website if they are that desperate to watch the newest episodes..Read the manga beforehand i guess to understand what's happening as well (Hell i do it all the time).

Thousands watch adc one piece with subs.This IS the internet u know,some people WILL complain and bitch,nothing you can do will stop it…

It will be a miracle if no one complains.Humanity sudddenly became good?lol. Thats just how people are, expect it and just do not bother with it

And yes there is no such rule that "you cannot complain about something free". You can but that just shows how much you take ADC for granted if you do that. Despite the huge fan base, ADC still has no obligation to do it..

I am not trying to be an asslicker . I was dissapointed when they took 6days to release last weeks episode but I understand they do have lives too. And no offense to topic poster but the fact that wickio actually apologised for the late release is good, it shows that he CARES for his fan base.

The insulting emails were underserving but as i mentioned above, this IS the internet you know and thats just how people ARE. This sort of thing occurs everywhere.

immelmann

I love you ADC-Elite fansubs:wub: You make my one piece for me! and I thank you whole heartedly!

However… I dislike the ADC-distro banner on your homepage that requires you to pay for fansubbed anime. I realize it's likely for the bandwidth but isn't like the biggest no-no charging for fansubed anime in any case?

silverwolf0

I Am Very Grateful!!!!!!

Bon_Kurei

Yay the episode is comming soon :)
My heart is overflowing with joy
Once again Thank you ADC you fill a cloudy day with hapinness:wub:

i ve waited and waited for the next one piece episode and tho i always wanted to complain/nag (because i need my one piece fix), i wouldnt – since its subbed for free, i have no right to complain...i dont get those pplz who sent hate mail or nag on the forum how they can think they have a right to complain.

anywayz, i feel grateful that there is at least one decent subber that does one piece regularly. thanks adc-elites ^_^ i hold u guys in as high esteem as dattebayo =D

A.M.S

Where the fuck is my new one piece?!?!?

J/k !!! I appreciate all that ADC does they give me my OP fix weekly I haven't even watched last weeks episode, I am waiting for the double ep to be subbed, so I can have more OP to watch.

bennyb

Roses are red
violets are blue
if it wasn't for ADC
WHAT THE FUX0R WOULD I DO

…not see new One Piece. ARIGATOU GOZAIMASU!

First of all, I am very grateful to ADC because they release such good fansubs. But I keep wondering how long they are going to sub since an awful lot of people keep asking 'when are you going to release this, that, when will it be out? How long will it take. Like, geez, it's 5.30 in here, blabber blabber, yammer, yammer, et cetera. Bunch of annoyings fags! XD

Anyway, when will it be released? My F5 button is almost white-hot from refreshing. XD [no, just kidding :P ]

ARIGATOU GOZAIMASU!

Cr4zy

Now we're speaking Japanese all of a sudden. Anyways, like they said, thx for your fansubbing.
