Why can't things go well for me?

[aide]

I'm watching Hanadan F now but the soft subs' timing is all kinds of fucked up. They are like 3-4 seconds too fast so I have to read ahead and try and match them up to the dialogue. It's fucking tiring man, and is kind of giving me a headache. But there aren't any other versions. There are some mistakes and not all the lines are translated, I think. Or maybe that's just the problem with soft subs. I don't know. I don't know why they don't just include English subs on the DVDs. Seriously. When they export them to HK or TW, they'll have Chinese subs. Why not English? Retards.


The shirt idea bombed. It doesn't look good. I'm not just being hard on myself. I half-assed it so I shouldn't really be surprised. But I can't give it as a present. I have to go shopping tomorrow before heading over to Andrew's place. I wonder what I'll get him now. Talk about leaving it to the last minute.

I know that AST released a subbed version a few weeks ago, only on the cam version. They plan to re-release it for the DVD release, too, though it hasn't happened yet.

Ugh.. by the end, the timing was like 7 seconds off. It was terrible. I'll keep an eye out but I don't want to download another version. Hopefully they do soft so I don't have to.

No, they only release hardsubs, I'm sorry. I'd wait until they release their DVD release — I imagine that they're working on re-timing and encoding right now.

The other option is that you can retime subs in certain media players, although that works best if the subs don't become more and more off x:

Damn. Do they do torrents? Then I wouldn't mind. It's the fucking 18 part shit that pisses me off the most. Well, I've seen it twice already. It's not like I'm dying to see it again.

No torrents. I'm an uploader for them, and I always upload the entire file to MU — one link. Depending on the size of the DVD release, I might have to split it if it's > 1024 MB.

For HYDF, they instituted a password-protect policy, in which you have to leave a comment with your e-mail for the password. However, HYDF is the only file that they've done this for, and they have released many other Arashi (HnA, AnS) without passwords. Since I'm technically on the team, I'm a little biased, but I think AST is very reasonable, and the translators are great, including Becky of taijiprojectsub who helps with translating HnA.

Where did you get the soft subs from? jdramas? I haven't been able to watch the movie at all, whenever I want to start watching, I get distracted by other things or just don't get the urge to watch it.

How bad did the shirt come out? Maybe if you did some sort of genius fixing on it, it can come out like you made it look like that on purpose.

I totally understand your suffering right now. D: Let's go drink our sorrows away.

Yeah they were from Jdramas. The DVD only just got released so I'm sure people are working on it. It wasn't like I hadn't seen it before, I just wanted to see how much of it I really understood. And missed. All the rapidfire bickering between Dom and Tsukushi. :D But it was really painful at the end. I warn you.

I again, only skipped around and saw bits so I didn't see how bad the ss were.

I'm learning hiragana! I finally made myself study and buy a book that will actually help me. Go me!

[maiaide.livejournal.com]

So shall I write you comments in hiragana now? Haha. You need to get MSN miss.

[honeycorrupts.livejournal.com]

Oh god, no. Not yet! I'm studying a new chapter daily, and memorizing them well. hopefully I wont forget them. Thank god I already knew some of them...

Do I have to?~ Let me go get an account. What's with December and people getting new accounts.
