+ Show Spoiler + We got a plot episode this week. It SEEMS like they are all going to go to the Earth Cradle together first, instead of splitting up like in the games. Next episode, RyuKohOh. Finally. This should have happened like 7 episodes ago lol | ||

I heard the morning rescue (the product in that commercial) is the liquid dripping on the walls in Madoka's room in the OP. (I think they changed the color of it from orange to blue in Madoka 4 or 5 though). | ||

I wouldn't even consider that trolling (well, maybe if I was trying to archive that release, but still), I mean, it made me laugh, not rage. You know, now that I think of it, there's one thing that kinda really bugs me about magical girl anime (though it can apply to various other situations in other anime as well). The idea that the main character may decide not to do something that is central to the plot + Show Spoiler + Such as Madoka possibly chosing not to become a magical girl... (not that this is strictly a spoiler, but either way, I'd prefer just to not discuss specifics when possible, and anything specific about an anime I mention will likely be spoilered.) | ||

It actually had potential for a decent story, but then the ending was so bad and the OVA episodes did nothing to help it. Infact it made it worse. Fuck. The show had so much potential and it just left everything open with a bad ending. | ||

So with that, I'd rather watch a good quality fansub with a commercial in it than a fast, poorly translated one without a commercial... Though to be perfectly honest it seems like gg's translations are mediocre at best as well :/ | ||

I'm more or less completely against it, because it does nothing but help give companies a reason to stifle the fansub community, and on top of that, everything they produce is second rate, with the exception of Ghibli releases, because they get real actors who understand voice acting to voice the characters. So with that, I'd rather watch a good quality fansub with a commercial in it than a fast, poorly translated one without a commercial... Though to be perfectly honest it seems like gg's translations are mediocre at best as well :/ Madoka is currently subbed by gg, Nutbladder, Chihiro and yesy, as far as I know. gg and Nutbladder are both speedsubs with comparable subbing quality. gg trolls their audience with commercials and chapter titles in the mkv but has a pretty large following. Nutbladder is your usual speedsub, some mistakes here and there but overall pretty solid and my current choice. Chihiro has made too many mistakes in the few episodes that are out already, so I won't recommend them for now. Maybe with a fixed batch later on for archival purposes, but I don't think that this is likely, because... yesy subs are pretty slow at times but are widely regarded as the most accurate and best translation that is currently available for Madoka. They are even translating the runes for the most part, so if you want the best, you should wait for them and get their subs. (Reminds me that I still have to check out their ep5.) | ||

Madoka is now at episode 5, and she's still not a mahou shoujo. It doesn't get much better than that. Anyhow, you said it yourself, certain things must happen, otherwise there is no show. How else would you define a genre? Edit: For instance, suppose there was a mystery show that follows a murderer around. Then suddenly, as he's about to commit his first crime, he realizes the error of his ways and decides to stop and lives happily ever after. Nobody would watch that.

I've also heard of yesy, but I dunno if I've ever watched one of their subs knowingly. I don't think I'll bother archiving Madoka (it takes a rare anime for me to actually archive it indefinitely) but if I drop it and want to come back I'll try to remember to get the yesy subs if nobody does a higher quality sub for it. It seems to me like there are too many low quality speedsub groups out there, but I think that if you got the right people together you could make a pretty damn good speedsub group. I mean, some os the subs I've seen are absolutely terrible, and I wonder why they even got released... And the same goes for encodes, I've seen some godawful encodes out there. Just because you use x246 does not automatically mean your release looks good, or compresses well :/ | ||
