A fansub is pretty bad if I can tell the translation is screwed. (Though the fact that I'm now actually understanding some words (other than names) in the original Japanese may dilute this statement.)

And if they also do weird translations of names.... Nothing quite like hearing Pazu and having the sub say Buzz. Or hearing Nagasaki and seeing Nagashima.

And "aa" is not "um", "yah" perhaps, or some other vague affirmative sound, but "um" doesn't quite cut it.

Yah, well for the fansubs I can be more forgiving but jeez looeez YYH is a PROFESSIONALLY done DVD! hahahaha

O.O I have no words for that....

I have caught myself saying "Nani?" Though this should not surprise me since when I was using my Spanish (before I forgot basically all of it) I would say "Que?"

I wrote "watashi" originally but checked my dictionary and it said "atashi" was the feminine version of "I". I've assumed that "watashi" was more gender neutral formal/polite and "ore" and "atashi" were gender specific informal. Though apparently more and more younger women are using "ore".

Ahhh it appears your dictionary is more detail oriented than mine! And that explains what I'm hearing as well! Thanks!

And I remembered the character I mentioned above, it was Yuzyu's cousin in Aishiteru ze baby, that always refered to herself by name and the subber wrote I. I wonder if the subbers think we play these things without sound!

On my old PC sometimes the sound and video would desync by a significant period of time (several lines of dialog worth) so I'd watch without sound.

Anime with no sound is really very boring, or at least Yami no Matsuei is. :)

I have that lag problem when I play from my external HD, where all my anime is stored. BUt since [Unknown site tag] told me about VLC player I don't have that problem.. and I agree on the boring part!
