yo, could you please play the piracy Blueray disc ad longer next time? Its mere half-a-second appearance in this vid deteriorates the appeal of the rest of the video.

i can appreciate that he has a saguri body pillow in the background, eromanga sensei is culture

I like Gigguk more than Joey.

I swear I've heard that ending song before, what is the name of it?

During the Fansub Wars of the early 2000's, yes we had our favorite fansub groups. Some because of the quality of translations, some because we didn't care for translated OP/ED, some because of 480/720p. Whatever those small differences were, at least we could all agree. . . . . Anime-Junkies subs were trash.

Intro legend

Anyone know where the character on his shirt is from?

We can all see the sagiri body pillow

An N64 cartridge? it was the exact same with an ATARI cartridge lol I'm old...

9:17 This made me laugh so damn hard. I love CommieSubs now

My first anime was named ”euphoria” I found out about it from a HUeye video back in 2015(i was 10) and that led to me watching a shitload of harem anime. Hence the story of how I became an anime fan.

So is Interspecies Reviewers a hentai, or a really lewd anime?

9:54 I don't get it, what is he censoring?

Fansub...?

Our childhoods were too similar @gigguk hours watching one piece on YT anyone?

Gigguk defo an 80s kid. 80's kids blowing their cartridge: we felt that

1:40 hello stranger. Wanna you buy? Hehehe thank you!!

"not available in your region", yeah that's crunchyroll for me alright.

Don't you just love it when you still see fansub openings up to this day.

I may have completely undertood that sentence at 7:23

Still remember watching one of the SAO movies and the fan subber just gave up at a song and literally said they couldn't be fucked translating

everyone watching anime legally and I here in Spain without funimation

First anime I watched on the internet was Naruto, so without Dattebayo (Probably misspelt that. It's been a long time) I wouldn't be such a weeb

Isn't most of one piece usually fansubs?

This reminds me of how back in the early 2000s when I was getting into anime DBZ still hadn't been dubbed so I got the whole collection off ebay which consisted of these burned CDs with cheezy printed jewel inserts that had all the episodes to watch in quicktime or windows media... I also around that time got the Trunks/Android saga off ebay on VHS which ended up being some bootlegs; I let someone borrow them and I never saw them again... still miss those shitty VHS tapes even today

Kaizoku Fansubs were the shit! Got me into One Piece

Bible black.... ah a classic.

11:59: he watches too much vsauce

Coming to this video 10 months later and hearing him say a streaming company accidentally licensed a hentai with redo of the healer currently airing. Terrifying

"I accidentally discovered hentai before I discovered anime" Reminded me how the first manga I downloaded back in the day was Loveless. I found out about Ritsuka being a guy later :)

where is my senior discount code? Has anyone seen it?

fansubs helped a lot with learning English for me! I am from Japan, and the public school English education isn't very good.

ANIME GIRLS

Fun fact. If you buy stuff on ebay and its a knockoff you can claim your money back by either messaging the seller you will report them if not refunded or you can just go through ebay which will take much much longer. Either way you can keep the stuff, you're not obligated to return pirated stuff they were scamming people with.

Fansubs were the bread and blood of my teens. They helped me to practise my english, to understand Japanese culture and helped me to even keep up with the conversations in the anime. Seriously when you have like 6 random school-girls rampaging at one conversation, how do you know who says what? -> FANSUBS!!! Just make the text in the colour of the hair of the person speaking... BRILIANT !!! (ehm...Shuffle!.. ehm...) Thanks you Fansubs...I will never forget...

"At least it wasn't as bad as infinite stratos 2" I love whoever made that fansub. It's so funny when the text is describing how much they hated to fansub it and a cat moves over the letters as they were lyrics

There are mangas/light novels that I stopped reading because the original fan-subbers were replaced, and I was already spoilt. Some of those were real gems. As an aside, even with how far the industry has gone for anime, fan-subs and scanlations are still critical for many mangas, light novels, and visual novels.

I like how he gave a free shoutout to them since his video got age-restricted, damn!

I got so used to fansubs that "official" subs from netflix or crunchyroll, are shitty for me. Feels like the try to hide the japanese terms like the time pokemon replace onigiris for sandwiches

Limewire remember when you gave your pc aids to get music and anime.

I haven't watched a fan sub in years I think

The sad thing is, Happy sugar life wasn't available anywhere other than youtube. So i watched it on youtube. Like a fucking Heretic.

For more on the basu gasu bakuhatsu tounge twister, search up Ayame Tounge twister you will not be disappointed.

I remember when fansubs started using nakama in One Piece. Arlong Park right?

I refuse to believe that quality fansub is a dying breed. I miss old times so much

The MGS tracks are appreciated. Sneaky illegal fansubs

What's the name of the song that plays at 1:27, I swear I've heard it before but I don't remember where

The background music and sound effects scream NakeyJakey

You think english fansubs were bad? Imagine livig in non english speaking country, and experiencing bad fansubs of your language translated not from the original japanese, but from bad english fansubs.

Fansubbing is, thankfully, far from dead. Plenty of groups are still heavily invested in typesetting, and others (GJM, etc) are still working on their own translations. Fansubbing won't die, unless official streaming services find a way to provide better sign typsetting.

"I accidentally discovered hentai before I discovered anime" Ye that sounds like me. Got into anime from SAO cuz I thought it was hentai.

in Poland it's fansub or English sub

R.I.P fansubs you'll forever be missed

3:17 ...I'm sorry, aimed at what now?... Have you ever watched dragon ball? There is inappropriate jokes and nudity everywhere.

Commie's work on early Jojo was hilarious

Honestly, if you download shit on Nyaa, fansubs are still very prominent on movies and shows. Like, all of the Monogatari series fansubbed. People in the random seem to swear by fansubs being better. So that's what I've got. Fansubs are still out there. I personally am paying for nearly every major streaming site with anime on it atm. Crunchyroll, Funimation, Netflix, and Amazon Prime. So, I don't feel too bad if I download something not on any of them, or if it's just not available in good quality. Such as Bakemonogatari. The first season is in abysmal 480p on Crunchyroll. So on top of subs people don't like, it's also in shit quality. Which is ironic, because I heard it's actually the ONLY season from the show with the superior Blu-ray version on the site. How they managed to get it in standard definition I do not understand. Unless Blu-rays and dvd's in Japan both get the improved animation.

Sauce of the thumbnail?

I hate Fansubs in chinese anime.. Like stop reacting with me with stuff like "OMEGALUL HE DIED"

This got me back into fansubs

10:11 "At least it wasn't as bad as Infinite Stratos 2" aw fuck that killed me a lil bit

gomu gomu no pico

That giga drill breaker made tear up with nostalgia

Welcome back from watching bible black go ahead and take a seat u are not the only one!!

To be fair a lot of official subs especially those on Netflix can't even achieve what fansubs did in the past

I discovered anime forgot about it for about 6 years and found hentai then anime again

I remember the dattebayo site :P those guys were pros

9:47 HOW in the actual FUCK are you supposed to read this

Guys what is the name of the anime in the “I didn’t know you were a pedophile...” image please if you know tell me

Guess I have a sharingan

I love Kamen Rider subs still keep the effects

Thumbs up if you'd ever tried tools called Aegisub, MeGUI, MKVtoolnix, etc.

TIL SovietWomble used to work with CommieSubs

will you do one on fan dubs?

I’m ready for fan dub

My fist time discovering anime was weard if we disclusde dragon ball from my childhood. I was 12 or 13 and in a way I can't remember I came across the entirety of S1 of the anime where the dude gets transported into a game as his demon lord character, diablo in low quality. And to any wondering it was one of the trash isekai anime. AND I WAS HOOKED! YOU HEARD ME I WAS BROUGHT TO THE WORLD OF ANIME THROUGH TRASH ECHI ISEKAI AND SAW IT AS A DAMN MASTERPEACE! EVEN MY FIRST ANIME WAS TRASH! WHEN I WAS 6 AND BEFORE I WATCHED DRAGON BALL I GOT THE DVD SET OF SPIDER RIDER! I NOW DEGRADED TO READING NON MAINSTREAM ISEKAI MANGA AND LOVING EVERY SECOND OF IT AND STARTED COVID WITH READING LIGHT NOVELS 14 HOURS A DAY! BOW DOWN BEFORE MY TRASH TASTE! But some are pretty good and I do recommend reading some.

I never watched anything Subbed before 2014.

I miss fansub days. I actually appreciated the sub text and what not. Allowing me to learn more than I would normally haha

Why do we end with the BREIN song? that made my day

keikaku means nakama

fansub mangas are even worse lol most of the words were just japanese

I remember watching anime on youtube the tiny corner of the screen with fansubs lol

i watched anime without knowing it was anime till 2011,till class 5 and i used to buy a dozen of cd of naruto. and watched all onepice movies before watching onepiece.... XD

The best fan subs are the ones that colour code for each character according to their hair colour. For example Higurashi fan subs

I would know Nakama because I play monster hunter 3. Like you have this cat called Nekko that litterally teaches you japanese.

god damn I remember watching death note and opm on youtube dubbed. thank god I found my illegal pirate anime website I use to this day

Funimation pretty much requires me to pirate anime still.

Actually, I used to love those animated subs, and thought some of them were official.....haha

kono bangumi wa goran no suponsaa no teikyou de okurishimasu

"I accidentally discovered hentai before I discovered Anime." That explains _way_ too much...

15 and i relate to this shit way to hard

2016 time when I started watching anime 2017 time when started reading Mangas 2018 time of webtoons 2019 time of manhwas, manhua & Chinese 'anime' 2020 time of light novel & web novel 2021 time of everythink 2022... (I be back)

Then you hit us with the throwback piracy music

Wait... those subtitle effects and notes weren't official translations?

7:32 isnt that itachi

A HUeyer once Mentioned Highschool DxD and then i watched it (of course Legal...), 3 Season, every Season at this point...and then i got addicted

4:11 Sauce?

11:50 LILY?

Where is my senior discount card at 21?

Not gonna lie animated attack subtitles are the bad ass moment with my early life of anime fandom.

The glory Ages of Fan subs elitism, Codec-conformity and Warez-subs. Where basement-dwelling wasn't a Meme but reality. And I was part of this pristine culture.
