RE: [ADC-Elites] One Piece 279 & Chopperman Omake
and I'm guessing they might do a Naruto-esque 1 year filler when it's over.
If you ever say that again I'm raping your entire family.

RE: [ADC-Elites] One Piece 279 & Chopperman Omake
I have a question.
At 5:17, why does it look like Franky is falling off the building?

RE: Air dates
I noticed at the end of 278 that One Piece is moving to Saturdays starting in two weeks.
Awsome news for us I think, as it gives ADC another weekend day to work on the sub before a week of class drags them away from us!

RE: Be Grateful to ADC.
my only question in regards to the whole delay thing is whether or not ADC still consider themselves speedsubbers?
Honestly, as far as I'm concerned, as long as the episode gets released before the next episode airs, I'd still consider it a speed sub. Only when it takes longer than a week do I not considerit it a speed sub anymore. Cause if you take longer than a week, every week, you just end up falling further and further behind.
But even if the episode didn't get subbed until the Sunday after it aired, I'm still fine with it. As long as I get my one episode a week(unless of course they aren't airing an episode a week, as OP is often to do).

RE: Official [ADC-HEAVEN] Thread
Would it not be possible to restrict access to this forum section (ADC-Elites Discussion) to certain users that have been complaining too much?
Actually, I'm pretty sure asking when an episode is gonna be out and such isn't allowed in the other fansubber forums. I think dythim once said that the only reason it is allowed here is because the ADC people seemed to not mind, what with having threads like "the wait for ###!!" on their own forums.
Maybe ADC should just give the mods the go ahead to start enforcing those rules here as well.
I think everyone would be alot happier. Except for those people that complain about when the episode is coming out. And who cares if they're happy? They're cockbites.
@Bon_Kurei:Your exactly right its true that both side are annoying and need to stop.
The only thing we should see is ADC announcing the episode is released and us thanking them. Everything else is garbage.Wait a minute, I thought those threads were for discussing the episode with people when they came out. If they aren't…why the hell am I even ON this forum?

RE: A Question regarding Kaizoku's Future Releases of 207+
While I do want the widescreen format. I just want to say that, personally, I DON'T want actual high definition episodes. Because, frankly, I don't have any desire to have only 4-5 episodes per DVD because the file sizes go up so much.
-
RE: Air dates
Someone wanna explain to me how the "thread for announcing air dates" has turned into the "can't wait for ADC to release circlejerk thread"?
I believe that's what the "official adc" thread is for.
-
RE: Air dates
its really annoying when you guys tell other people to be patience because that just looks like your telling adc to hurry up
Uhh…
No, telling people to be patient is the exact opposite of telling ADC to hurry up.
Time for you to take English all over again.

RE: Air dates
w00t, can't wait for the ep, even though it's of robins past…. :(
i wanna see some action
God shutup. Robin's past just started. The 10 episodes of fighting that took place right before it weren't doin it for ya? I'm finally getting the backstory filled in on a character that joined the crew like 6 arcs ago.
-
RE: Official [ADC-HEAVEN] Thread
Who's spamming? Nobody even made a post for a week prior to yours.

RE: Air dates
I'm actually happy they did this. I'd rather have no episodes for a few weeks at a time to give the manga a chance to move ahead, then to have too much filler after EL. Unless it's all as good as G-8 that is. Then it might not be so bad.
They already skipped like 20 weeks this years. They don't need anymore chance to move ahead dammit!
Honestly, I don't know why they haven't just skipped to a bi-weekly schedual at this point…

RE: [ADC-Elites] One Piece Movie 7
And ruin the nice quality?
People who can't use Bittorrent don't deserve nice quality. They aren't human like us!
-
RE: [ADC-Elites] One Piece Movie 7
I'll say this, I'm glad this didn't get released until after 2nd Gear debuted in the anime, because it would have spoiled it.
Still it's nice seeing the "origin" of 2nd Gear. I just hope it doesn't end up being a contradiction to anything Oda writes.
Oh yeah, and titties. A+

RE: [ADC-Elites] One Piece 275
Facinating episode. Finally they're showing Robin's past, which is great. I wasn't expecting Robin to already have eaten the fruit when she was just a little kid though.
And the Giant! And one in Luffy's family to boot! I wonder what relation he is…
One thing I found wierd though was Robin's voice. It sounds like they actually used a child to do her voice, which is different from all the other little kids on the show. So she sounds wierdly out of place.
And...4 weeks to the next episode?! Jesus christ!
Heh, Laeliel's Avatar is great now that I see where it comes from.
heh...deresh.

RE: [ADC-Elites] One Piece 273
I don't know why everyone thinks the opening credits are frame by frame copies of whats going to happen. The opening shots are always a little different. Just like the ones in the last opening were.
Gear 2 is not SSJ. It's just a very awesome new rubber move like Gomu Gomu no Tako. It gets explained later on.
It's nothing like no Tako. Tako is just another variation of an attack. 2nd Gear is like…a transformation that makes all his moves and attacks faster and stronger.

RE: High-definition
You gotta admit somethings look better alittle smaller.

RE: [ADC-Elites] One Piece 273
Holy shit what a fantastic episode. I don't care if Luffy did just go Super Saiyan, it still fucking ruled! I can't believe how awsome that looked.
Great job on picking a new font for when he's in Gear 2nd too ADC!
So sweet.

RE: [ADC-Elites] One Piece 272
Man, I didn't even know Luffy HAD Chakra gates to open up!
-
RE: [ADC-Elites] One Piece 270
Only think I can't figure out is, why is Usopp hacking and coughing so much? :P He didn't do that in the manga.
I just thought it was because of where he was standing. Giant's breath from three feet away can't be condusive to easy breathing.
-
RE: [ADC-Elites] One Piece 268-269
Man, that was good. Especially where it ended. Blueno has been doing pretty much ALL the fighting for CP9 since Iceburg's house. Time to see if Luffy has gotten any stronger since…um...oh wait, I guess that was yesterday for him.
Also...Nami...those dials sure upped the power of her staff.
And Paulie was particularly badass this week. All of Galley-la was.
Spandam is a real dick. I get the distinct feeling that if the Government ever fired him, that CP9 would kill him instantly. And that his position is the only thing that keeps him alive.
Clip at the end was a waste of time. Time that coulda been used showing one of those mini-stories in the opening pages of the manga.
On the translation btw:
"We have clients."? if that's just meant as an expression, it shoulda been "We have customers." As the latter is an actual expression, while the former isn't. Still, amazing work all around.
-
RE: Official [ADC-HEAVEN] Thread
Haha, too true. I imagine this is why most subbers don't allow threads like this on their forums.
It's the internet equivalent of "Are we there yet?! No. Are we there yet?! No! Are we there yet?! NO! Are we there yet?! NOOO!!
…Are we there yet?!".

RE: A Question regarding Kaizoku's Future Releases of 207+
Ivotas: That's just the thing, I don't really prefer one way or the other and I can really see the benefits of both. If the DVDs had simply been widescreen even, there would have been a clearly better choice. :/ Another factor is that we are going to catch the DVDs in the near future, maybe even the next half year, and this would really take the pressure of that day off of us.
We'll just… pray for HDTV rips to magically show up before then. >_> That fixes all.
I just kinda hope that the HD subs aren't going to be massively larger in filesize.
-
RE: A Question regarding Kaizoku's Future Releases of 207+
Right now I'm toying with the idea of doing dual releases of fullscreen and widescreen episodes. This unfortunately means twice as much work for timers and encoders, but it might be the way to keep the most people happy. Our DVD rips will beat the pants off any TV raws, and that really is the highest quality option available to us. But, I believe that there is a large group of people who would be put out by the missing animation, so that's more or less how I arrived at this option. If we go through with that plan, then in the event that Toei does release HD resolution dvds, we can go back and re-release those eps as single versions, and it will all be a bad memory. Nothing is set in stone, but that's my thinking.
I like everything you said there. Make it so!

RE: Lame excuses not to like OP anime.
Actually, that manga is near opposite. Except for a few minor fights in the Chunnin exams, Naruto never wins. :/ (Gaara was a tie)
Well…no wait, that's right. Hmm...wow, he IS a loser.
-
RE: Lame excuses not to like OP anime.
But what I was getting at as far as Naruto goes is that Naruto is still the one fighting the major bad guy of that arc. Not any other character. Heck in the Sasuke retrivel arc we didn't see LEE fighting Sasuke. We didn't see ANYONE but Naruto fighting Sasuke. Same for the Gaara fight, same for the earlier fights against Haku, Kiba, and Neji as well.
Uh….correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Sasuke fight Gaara before Naruto...twice...and Lee fought him before that? And Haku wasn't even the main villain in that arc, Zabuza was, and Kakashi beat him, AND Haku if you want to get technical. And in what world were Kiba and Neji the main villains of the chuunin exam?!
I mean, there's pretty much not one sentence in that whole paragraph that isn't wrong. If anything, you're DISproving your point, since Naruto has only fought the main villain in about half the major arcs.
Personally, I happen to like the fact that Naruto gasp loses a fight from time to time. Cause you know how much we hate unpredictability.
-
RE: A Question regarding Kaizoku's Future Releases of 207+
Well, this is just my preference, but I'd rather see the stuff that gets cut off from either side of the screen, then have a slightly higher resolution. So I guess I'd rather widescreen raws than DVD rips.
Of course if they're released in widescreen later I suppose you could always just do a second version.
-
RE: [ADC-Elites] One Piece 267
Well, I DO have no attention span.
Must have pretty colors and flashing things…
-
RE: [ADC-Elites] One Piece 267
Well, I for one don't read manga for shounen series. Since the first time you see it is always the best, I find it's even better if it's in color and in motion, at least in series like this where the story is hung on fighting.
-
RE: [ADC-Elites] One Piece 267
Come on, i don't think that's really a spoiler to someone who's watching Enies Lobby, especially when you have people talking about flashbacks and new techniques everywhere..anyway..
Well, those people are also spoiling, and, as someone who doesn't read the manga, I wish they'd stop. shrug Not much I can do about it though besides stop coming here.
Nope.
Kumadori's VA: Hiroaki Yoshida
Jiraiya's VA: Houchu OhtsukaA agree though, they do sound very similar.
Most likely because the voice actors are aiming for the same stereotypical "kabuki dancer" voice for both characters.
-
RE: A Question regarding Kaizoku's Future Releases of 207+
So…the DVD versions are gonna be of a higher quality than any of the raws until 261 is what you're saying? And you'll use whatever has the highest quality?
-
RE: K-F One Piece 194
Omg, they finally did something piratey! That's gotta be like the first time ever in the series!
All the stuff with Robin was really fascinating too. Metaplot stuff. We get it so rarely it's like a delicassea.
Mmm…all those dials...
-
RE: [ADC-Elites] One Piece 267
What I really love is how EL has all these powerful commanders and elite units, and Luffy isn't fighting any of them because by they time they're up and ready to fight, he's already past them!

RE: Official [ADC-HEAVEN] Thread

Hmm, Naruto's name means, Whirlpool Maelstrom.

RE: Official [ADC-HEAVEN] Thread
@Natty:
excuse me, i really really hate to do this, especially since i just registered on this forum, but after seeing these word in this thread i cant help, but ask what relation does Karaoke have to fansubbing. i have seen the word many a times, but never asked. i also didnt want to start a whole new thread anywhere else just to ask a stupid question like that. and take up so space, so again i apologize for the stupid question, it was just itching my curiosity, though.
If you mean "what is karaoke, in reguards to fansubbing". Karaoke is the person who does the lyrics in the Opening and Ending in japanese, and has the words light up AS they are spoken during the song, as the person above said, "so you can sing along".
-
RE: [ADC-Elites] One Piece 266
Also i really dont like how toei replaced luffy screaming STORM!! Just to a waaahhaddaaaadadaa! (or however the noise he screams out when he punches really fast)
I don't really have a problem with it. Some animator at toei probably realized that a gomu gomu storm would probably kill a regular marine.

RE: Air dates
lol just thinking of the fillers that naruto dubbies will watch for 1 year and more makes me laugh XD
It ain't exactly a picnic for us naruto subbies either.
-
RE: [ADC-Elites] One Piece 266
Yeah, those guys that sub three series that are always out the same day they air with good quality…man, I'm surprised they can get out of bed their so lazy...
-
RE: [ADC-Elites] One Piece 266
Great episode, Toei made a really good job here. That's the kind of 'filler material' i wanna see: extended scenes with CP9 (their interaction is simply awesome, very funny moments) and more emphasis on secondary characters, like Zambai and Paulie's battles.
So, wait, this was filler? Or just part of it was? What was exactly?
-
RE: [ADC-Elites] One Piece 266
Just finished watching it…
Totally...fucking...sweet.
That episode rocked all kinds of ass. I don't think I've ever seen Luffy kick so much ass at once. Poor Spandam doesn't have a clue whats happening either.
And then there's Fuk, who apparently reads power levels...that's pretty cool. At least, it's nice they ranked the CP9 members for us. And they've got new fruits too!(Oh man, would it be sweet if the SHs got their hands on those fruits before CP9 could eat them!).
My only complaint...they stuck one of the new scenes(one with Nami and Sogeking) in the MIDDLE of the recap! Wtf, I only saw it by sheer luck! So now I have to watch the ENTIRE recaps to make sure I don't miss anything? God that sucks.
-
RE: [ADC-Elites] One Piece 265
Just finished watching it. Was a good enough episode, but man, those recaps are getting longer and longer. The whole episode ended up feeling 10 mintues long.
At this point, I almost wish they'd stay with episodes every other week than having almost contentless episodes. Reminds me of Naruto, that stretches episodes by putting 10 minutes of flashbacks in everything. Only in OP all the flashing is before the credits even roll!
The whole episode just felt way too shot. Great work on the sub though guys.
Giants though huh? Wonder if Paulie and Franky Bros. #1 are gonna be able to take them, or if the SHs are gonna have to show up for that.
-
RE: Official [ADC-HEAVEN] Thread
Are they skipping any of the weeks between now and the 25th? Or are they finally back to doing weekly episodes for a little while?
-
RE: OFFICIAL RAW Discussion
Zoro vs Kaku (probably 2-3 chapters)
Sogeking vs jyabura (Probably 2-3 chapters)
Luffy vs lucchi ( Probably 4 -5 chapters for the finish. Luffy might lose the first actually)
Resucing Robin (probably 1 chapter)
Buster call (probably 2 chapters)The only disagreement I have with that is the bustercall. The Bustercall is probably going to be an entire nother arc. I mean, It's 5 vice admirals. SHs have never even fought anyone that high before(aside from Luffy getting owned by Ao). It's a whole arcs worth of 1 on 1 fights right there.
-
RE: Kahn Interviews and Such
If they really want to increase the popularity of manga with kids in america, one thing they need to do? Color it. I realize that's not "true to the original". But black and white is a turnoff for kids when picking out something at the comic store.

RE: Lame excuses not to like OP anime.
@Senshi:
One crappy excuse I've heard was "The art is ugly."
That's actually a pretty valid excuse. The art is relatively crappy. If the show didn't have such interesting storylines and humor, I certainly wouldn't still be watching it because of its character designs and fight animations.
