Aaand I'm Giving Up On You, Juice

If no one noticed my shout out:
“OK, that’s IT. I’m giving up on you, Juice. I’m giving up on you for GOOD. We’re too far apart now anyway. So… well, goodbye to my feelings for you.”

… Perhaps I’m just not as strong as I thought I’d be. (DAMMIT WHUT IS THIS CORNINESS?? >_>) This whole life of mine, you can ask my really close friends, but I showed my actual love for only one person. ONE single human being (uhh, no, crushes don’t count). It was the first time I found almost everything I want in a guy in one single human vessel. I rarely, rarely show my love for any guy, because I don’t trust guys easily, you evil creatures you >_>.

I won’t say anymore because I don’t want to reveal whoever he is. But this a formal (lol, formal, in a blog) goodbye to him. From this day forth, I’m forgetting everything about him (OK… maybe not. Just, you know, the fact that I loved him). We’re too far apart now, and there’s nothing I can do. He merely saw me as either a friend, or another cl—OK not going there. He might have never known how I felt, and that’s fine. I just want him to live on happily. Even if he forgets all about me… then it’ll be the same, because I’ll be forgetting too.

Will I look for someone else? Probably not. I never give my trust to guys as easily as I gave mine to him. No one knows about my bloody past! No one knows the true reason why I don’t know how to trust people! No one even knows that I despise someone so much who caused all my anxiety to trust others that I want to ruin said person’s life, or at least send him to hell!

DAMN IT. DAMN IT ALL.

In Which I Rant/Rave About This Season's Anime Subbers

Despite the many shows this season of Spring, I only have a few in my list, namely Pandora Hearts, Tears to Tiara, FMA Brotherhood and Valkyria Chronicles. I've watched a few others as well, but I didn't like them at all >_>... (Incidentally I am finding that Cooking Idol show that features a real person quite enjoyable... If only they'd stop using cabbages as their main ingredient... And I'm urging to download that Beyblade show, 'cause I used to be a fan ahahhahahaha lol)

So anyways, subbing hunting here we go~~~~

And then a few hours later... bah >__>...

Pandora Hearts
~~~~~ Subbing team - Hatsu-Aasasubs
I'm sorry, but I'm just going to wait for another group ;_;. The font color/font face they used so do not fit PH. I don't care much about encode quality (heck, PH's animation isn't even good to begin with >_>), so that's OK (IMO their encode's OK). But ugh, lines translated differently, misheard lyrics, and wrong terms. For example, you don't call the emissaries of Abyss "chains". The Chains are entirely different from the emissaries! And since when did a music box (orugooru) become a "Pandora's box"?? There are also a bunch of other lines mistranslated (i.e. breakfast [choushoku] became lunch in their subs). Not to mention the logo and credits typesetting. They simply do NOT blend. And then first I see "Young Master Oz" and the next thing I see an "Oscar-sama". Can't they stick with one language for the honorifics? GAH I am sad because of this. Either I'm waiting for another group, or just watch the raws.
~~~~~ Subbing Team - Mochi
Wow, for a group that's just starting out, their release is lovely. I'm against the chosen font again though, but the karaoke really fits, and the translations are correct. Although I'm seeing Oscar-sama and Young Master Oz again >__>. Anyway, correct terms though, so great! If I see no other group working on PH, will definitely stick to theirs no question.

Tears to Tiara
~~~~~ Subbing Team - Animax Asia
Not exactly a subbing team. See, Animax is doing this real-time simulcast with some countries, including mine. So, if Tears to Tiara is airing in Japan right now, it's airing here as well. Of course, you won't expect GREAT typesetting from a cable channel, so I'll cross that one out. I saw what I expected, however. Correct terms, nice flow of words, and correct translations. If I were to go with some other sub groups, I'd only do so for archive purposes, since I can just watch it on TV. Only downside is... 12:35AM WHY??

FullMetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
~~~~~ Subbing Team - Shinsen-Subs
Fast. I hope that speed actually LASTS this time >_>. Anyway, they decided to go with a fully soft=subbed release this time, and I'm happy with that. Nice font/font color, nice typesetting, very nice. HD encode's nice too. Wording is good too. I'd say go for Shinsen if you like speed/softsubs
~~~~~ Subbing Team - Eclipse
Still pretty fast if you ask me. And since I'm a sucker for XviD encodes (they play on my DVD, OK??), I went with them. Nice, simple karaoke this time around. Still using awesome XviD encodes, and IMO their font is nicer than Shinsen's, but I prefer Shinsen's all-white subs.
~~~~~ And since I trust these two subbing teams for quality, I won't be bothering with the other sub groups. Unless it's another group known for their quality... ehh, Menclave?

Valkyria Chronicles
~~~~~ Subbing Team - twrev-Doremi
My first time ever hearing of them, but very nice! Nice, simple, readable karaoke, very nice choice of font and font color, very clean XviD encode, and nice wording too. Now I haven't played Valkyria, but I'm going to assume those terminologies they used are correct.
~~~~~ Subbing Team - Ayako
My first time hearing of these guys too, but they have nice subs~. I prefer their font to Doremi's, but I prefer Doremi's kara and SD version so... But if you prefer fully hardsubbed HD releases, go with Ayako.

PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
