You're right. I rewatched that scene and it didn't make much sense. The sentences just don't flow. I think the idea of that scene was that Kabuto knows a bit about Tsunade because he used to be a medic because Tsunade first came up with the idea of medical specialists in groups.

heh, gotta love spammers.

yep, Ciber is animeone staff. So am I :-p.

I think a lot of people don't care enough about the distinction though, 'cause all they are really exposed to is naruto. It's a shame too, both ANBU and Animeone have some really notable series they (err, we, or something) are working on that a lot of the most ranting naruto fanboy types will never look at at all. And then there's also the fact that it's easier to address a joint by one name than by two ... cognitive miser stuff or something like that...

Your totaly right, I'm glad you posted this. I'm gunna go start downloading and checking out the rest of the series you two groups do.

Thanks for doing subs you guys are awsome.

Agrees with KonohamaruCorps. You aren't paying for anything so you have no right to complain. I download anything and everything that is subbed by Aone and ANBU because it's my fav. subbing group. Although if there is a new anime that isn't subbed by Aone or ANBU, then I would DL the next best subber (IMO) Anime-Keep but Aone/ANBU usually subs every new series out so no need to turn to another subbing group. If I was rich, I would license Naruto, keep the original voice acting and scenes, and hire the entire Aone/ANBU staff to sub the series... but im not rich -.-

Sorry to see the thread "degrade" like that. I was only browsing the forums when I noticed that joint remark, so I only wanted to correct it. I appologize if that caused any incovenience and I totally agree with most people remarks about ANBU-Aone subbing efforts. They were on the scene here before and they are one of the best experienced groups out there.

Yours,

I think you've gotta be God like Ciber to get one of those. Hell, he hasn't even given ME one yet :-p.

I think he's just irritated that people don't recognize him, even though his name's been in the naruto credits for some untold but fairly significant chunk of episodes (and he owns the goddamned place). We were talking about that not too long ago, I guess he finally got annoyed enough to do something about it (or it could just be that wilik's back and tweaking code again [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]).

He's right though. A lot of people think that because we haven't released anything in 3 whole days that we've mismanaged our time or taken on more than we can handle. But when you've got 40ish people who are all specialized to one or maybe two jobs (out of about 8 jobs I would classify as fundamental fansubbing roles) sometimes peoples schedules line up well and everything goes fine, and other times 3 people with the same job disappear for a couple days and the fourth can't cover the other 3 completely (or in some cases even at all). I've personally been in situations in the last 2 months where I'd come home from work, qc until I went to sleep, wake up, qc, go to work, every day for a week. Why? Because 2 other people had final exams (mine had already ended), one had a family emergency, and one disappeared without a trace. Did our releases slow down that week? You're damned skippy they did. Does that mean we were "sloppy" about things? Not in my opinion. Things came up, shit happened (and a lot of it). A lot of axioms and laws kicked into place (ie: "When it rains it pours" and Murphy's law).

Similarly (and in response to what Kidd said), in a group of highly specialized people, you don't have specialists in one area (who are usually weak in others) fill in for the roles they are weak in. There is a degree of mutual trust that a group of specialists has to maintain, which boils down to "this person is good at this job, and I'm not, so I'm going to leave their work alone". For example, our kickass stylist/effect artist Eise is damned incredible at what he does. Would I try to do his job? No! Absolutely not, I don't know textsub, I don't know the strange stuff he does, and I don't have the same keen aesthetic sense that he does. Similarly, I'd never expect him to do grammar checking or flow editing, because that's not what he's good at. To use a naruto-ism, it's like Rock Lee doing Genjutsu and Sakura doing Taijutsu -- it just doesn't make sense.

Specialists are almost always a LOT better at what they do than generalists are. We've got a group of them, we don't do each others' jobs for a reason. As a qc/editor if a series is stalled at typeset, I could either pretend I know how to typeset and do a terrible job at it that'll take me 5 times longer to do than an experienced typesetter would, or I can look at the script and tweak the flow and the grammar a bit and let it wait for a typesetter to show up to typeset it.

QC for us is a specialist position too. The specialty is being a really frigging picky bastard. Depending on the series and the other crew members, different things might be needed -- like for example, I do a lot of flow editing on Naruto (because even though I'm a picky bastard, I'm more of an English language specialist). Ciber is better at spotting big stupid stuff (like a forgotten word that I would often mentally gloss over), Jed is better at seeing timing and typesetting errors (though he's also really solid on the editing side too). A lot of the randomness of our releases comes from the fact that we all have lives, and many of us (me included) have relatively unpredictable commitments, or predictable but very badly timed ones (I can't think of how many times an encoder or a typesetter has said something like "I'll be back in 12 hours" 10 minutes before we needed something from them).

So you might see some people that i consider helpful and insightful on the forums get custom titles like "GW Elite"... or maybe "Anbu Elite" we'll see.



Who knows, you just might end being the resident clown. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

I seen this movie "Pulp Fiction" and they have a gimp there. From what the movie show, a gimp is a some one that you doodle in the behind.

I don't know if you want to be called a resident gimp because that mean that you want your behind to be doodle.

......

A gimp is someone that is walking with a limp, like when you sprain your ankle you become a gimp because of how you walk, so resident gimp is kind of a title making fun of him but because titles are rarley given out it might be considered a compliment you never know [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Furthermore gimp doesn't mean you are homosexual as far as I know if that is what you were implying...

PS ?igma, your criticizing someones free work that you don't even pay for and fighting with one of the team who also owns the forums and complaining that he is acting childish after telling him there is nothing he can do and then he tells you there is very much he can do. It's pathetic. He owns this site and simply allows us to visit it, try a little respect.

I want the title Banned, so badass!
but no! i dont wannna be banned really!

[chambers]

in modern day terms (as featured in the film pulp fiction) gimp pretty much means a human sex toy. but BEFORE mutata gets all excited its associated more with S&M and other taboo things rather than girls flocking to him!!

[?igma]

I know its owned by.. ..but.. why dont they boycot other versions here then :?

Well, I don't mean to brag, but if you check around in the support sections, you can see that I have helped a numerous amount of people. Of course, I can't ask for much, I haven't even reached a Genin status yet and I haven't helped as much people as members like complich8 or NarutoMaster. If you could take in consideration to changing my status in the forums to one of the ones you mentioned above, it would be greatly appreciated. I don't to put a burden on you or anyone else. Thank you very much for your consideration.

Well the thread was more or less dead before this thing went OT like this so it isn't like we are destroying the thread just getting more use out of it [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

[?igma]

You never banned me Ciber, the person that banned me was a girl, that took me too serious ..ok..maybe I deserved it a bit, but still, I never got any chance to defend myself back then.

And assertnFailure ..I may not know all about politics, but I read the newspaper daily ..its not that good about the US, if you get what I mean..
And you(Ciber) still havent posted any constructive agruments that would allow you to ban me, such as [quotes]....

Most of your posts in this thread are more than enough reason.


You seem to be under the impression that you have some sort of "rights" here...


This is a privately owned and operated site and as such you have absolutely no "rights".


Quit being a nuisance.

What newspaper do you read? the Iraq Times?
Tell us why you think its not good about US in another thread, because you keep saying without any facts.
