[public post] Oh Viz

Okay, so. First of all, I highly recommend Switch by Naked Apes to anyone who likes the ghey. It's not yaoi per se, but the authors are so used to writing yaoi that it seems like random yaoi tropes start worming their way into the work regardless.

However, oh Viz. Of course you had to translate 倉林 春 as Kurabayashi Hal, despite 春 is pronounced haru, as in spring. I mean, you're willing to translate Kurabayashi already, so why change "Haru" into "Hal"? What is the logic behind this crap?!

Admittedly, it doesn't help when your fanslations make the same mistake, but, again, one is done by amatures, the other is...well, Viz. *facepalm*

(What pisses me off the most about all of this isn't so much that it's "Hal" as much as it's...fandom's gonna think "Hal" is correct rather than looking at the kanji and go WTF. P.S. The official site gives you the correct romanization, I don't know why this is so hard.)

[public post] Crunchyroll removed fansubs?

Yes, I get fannews from f_w, it's faster and less painful that way. (Until f_w decides to also wank.)

In the meanwhile, have people not heard of Veoh? :p (Yeah, yeah, as soon as it gets popular the stuff's gonna disappear, but for the most part, it's still working.)

And it's times like these that I'm thankful for my Chinese education. Tudou and Youku FTW! (I love how China's piracy laws fail like a failing thing. XD)
