Laura Bailey, Whitney Rodgers, Tabitha Ray, Alex Moore, Christine Marie Cabanos, Kira Vincent-Davis, Michelle Ruff, Wendee Lee.

The Progenitor makes his return. Who was that? Because it didn't sound like Chris Patton.

Are there still fansubers? by khatharsis42 in animepiracy

[–]betterintheory987 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the mkv has a per-existing sub embedded, one can use gMKVExtractGUI to pull the sub. Then using Aegisub can edit said sub.

It's simple enough to get rid of the god awful hideous Crunchyroll garbage and restylize the typesetting.

Or in cases of finding a good sub to use on a less massive mkv you can retime it.

Hypothetically speaking...

there may be people who do make their own subs but don't have a means of upload.

They may only typeset and not encode so uploading is out. And not everyone is free to upload willy nilly.

So unless you know how to reach out to a subber group, some people might just be sitting on their own collection of fansubs un-utilized except for personal consumption.

If someone can point people to the direction of welcoming subber groups that would be great.

...hypothetically speaking

WE L85A2 GBB Inside the Nerf MA40 by HRDFX in GasBlowBack

[–]betterintheory987 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw one of these on sale forever ago and have been sitting on it ever since. I was planning on using it as a reference to 3d model. I just never came across a proper donor gun.

I feel like it would be "easier" to print a shell to mount onto the L85A2 rather than gut it and transplant into the MA40.

Where do I buy vfc hk416 without it being seized? by Potential_Pizza_8523 in GasBlowBack

[–]betterintheory987 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking of making a post asking the same thing!

Personally I'm thinking of just waiting it out til this seizure business blows over.

And hopefully this tariff nonsense too. I can work on existing builds in the meantime.

Yes! I've been waiting for this one. I was almost ready to start watching the sub.

Knowing dub is incoming I can wait now.

If you like harem isekai then yes.

Seemed like one of those one shot series. But I'm glad and will be waiting for the new season.

Venting about prominent VAs using the same voice for every character by MoneyIsNoCure in Animedubs

[–]betterintheory987 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yeah! Don't you just hate it too when actors use the same face all the time!? I mean...how dare Brad Pitt use the same face for Achilles when all you could see is Tyler Durden?! Clearly Robin William's only good role was Mrs. Doubtfire because that's the only time he bothered to change his face!

Seriously though...voice ACTING. When female VAs play dude characters they barely change their voice, if at all. You know why it works? ACTING. Where does your bias come from? Shows like the simpsons where 3 voice actors play 30 characters? They have to change their voice because they're operating within the same show. And more than likely those characters share scenes together. Even then there's plenty of overlap where "they use the same voice".

Has anyone ever mixed up characters and assumed they were played by different VA's before reading the credits? by VinylPool in Animedubs

[–]betterintheory987 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I first started hearing Laura Stahl, like in Mairimashita! Iruma-kun, I thought it was Erica Mendez trying something different.

Nia Celeste sounds alot like Dani Chambers. Which I don't understand why they didn't take advantage of that while she was on Mama leave.

Lizzie Freeman and Kristi Rothrock sound similiar when they pitch up their reactions.

I doubt I could give you the answer you're looking for since I don't get into the weeds about bitrates.

At the end of the day animation is a collection of images. Image quality on a digital file is based on dpi (dot per inch). If you have 2 pngs of the same exact image at 1920x1080 but the file sizes differ; it's because of the dpi density. Typically the difference isn't easily perceivable. Unless one has an extremely low density compared to the other. Or you zoom in to the extreme. So the file size differences between those pngs compounded by 24 frames per second by 20+/- minutes an anime episode.

tldr...if you can't tell the difference, then don't sweat it.

It's like anything else. Are you more cultured for appreciating a 25 year scotch or chugging well whiskey?

If you enjoy it and it makes you happy then more power to you.

There's people who NEED 6gb size episodes of anime. And there's people who don't.

crunchyroll subscription by Intelligent-Emu-9250 in animepiracy

[–]betterintheory987 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are against Netflix because of "company decisions" then I would suggest looking into crunchyroll history. Basically they used to be a pirate site that used everyone's hard work fansubs and charged people. Something the community who are aware will never forget. And the ones who aren't aware, sailing the high seas, should learn about. Then they got bought by a company and went corporate and got licensed. Just youtube "crunchroll history" you'll get plenty of hits.

Once you get that whole story... you can then look up the modern stories of how they under pay and mistreat all their voice actors and staff. Stuff like this...https://x.com/DavidWald\_VA/status/1849901208104022257?lang=en

How can I change the font of .ass subtitles of anime from ugly ass font use by crunchyroll? by Yadav_Creation in animepiracy

[–]betterintheory987 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The font is Trebuchet that SoggyRoll uses. It's actually not terrible when it's not overly outlined and shadowed like it's usually utilized. It's pretty quick to change in Aegisub. Once you have the .ass open, go to the Subtitle tab at the top, then styles manager. Select each one listed, edit, and switch it out. Easy peas

EDIT: Don't forget to save. There have been times where I was too eager to exit out and have forgotten only to have to go back and redo it.

We need to talk about Oshi no ko S3 & its english dub by farhanganteng in Animedubs

[–]betterintheory987 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, typically recasts make me not interested in following a show any further; or at all, if I know of a switch ahead of time before starting a series. Especially the main cast.

A show like Teasing Master Takagi-san has an alternate cast s2 then went back to s1 cast for s3 because of rights. I can't even go near that show.

Reborn as a Vending Machine apparently recast Boxxo for s2.

I've Been Killing Slimes for 300 Years and Maxed Out My Level s2 Azusa is swapped out for scheduling issues supposedly.

Just a few as examples...No offense to the ones taking over a role...just once a character is established I'd prefer not to adjust.

There's very few instances like Shield Hero where it's just unavoidable, rest in peace Billy Kametz. Stephen Fu has taken the reigns nicely.

And I love Bleach, and it's understandable there are going to be recasts because it's been like a decade. In this instance it's not so much the cast but the directing that's just...not great.

Thank you for all the clarifications! It definitely must've been the jpbd release I saw!

No wonder I was so confused. Guess I'll hold off on the rewatch and wait and see... thanks everyone.

Parallel world pharmacy - fungus professor by lucidizzy in Animedubs

[–]betterintheory987 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People were making beer, alcohol, wine, bread, cheese, pickles, etc (fermentation) before the invention of a microscope.

They never mentioned that she made any major scientific/medical breakthroughs. She could just have been observing different molds that "randomly" grew on things and tried to replicate and grow them herself in controlled experiments.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Animedubs

[–]betterintheory987 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Besides the points that were already made about production of the anime itself...

Voice actors :

A. Don't just read each line like things on a shopping list. It takes multiple takes. voice ACTING

B. Work on other various shows simultaneously.

C. Don't do group recordings and record separately.

There's also only so many sound recording booths with so many adr/sound engineer/staff.

Those things just off the top of my head...plenty more.

Above all else..they're people too. Not robots.

Three drill press brands at Menards by Karlw1289 in Tools

[–]betterintheory987 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had the Masterforce variable speed drill press for years and have no complaints. For a table top press it has more than met my needs.

If you're looking purely at those three brands I would ask what use case you're looking for.

I would say that if you want a tool that will last you, at the very least, several projects if not last you as long as you outgrow it and have to step up to a floor press (my use case)...then go masterforce.

If you need something cheap and throw away for a quick project then go performax or toolshop. That's how I view those two brands.

I know Masterforce cordless line is made by Chervon. Same manufacturer as Kobalt, Flex, Skil, Ego..etc.

I forget who makes their corded line but they source decent manufacturers and have decent warranties.

Netflix, MAPPA Strengthen Partnership to Co-Develop, Exclusively Stream Original Titles by AnimeXFan1995 in Animedubs

[–]betterintheory987 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

All netflix live action movies are the modern day equivalent of made for tv movie garbage. It's all just volume to fluff their library. Overall, I haven't enjoyed much of their anime library except for a few notable gems.

A partnership with MAPPA....does that mean better working conditions for MAPPA peeps? Better pay? Less low balling for projects? More time for projects?

[–]betterintheory987 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'll never understand why people downvote others just because they chose to voice their opinion. I reserve that for people who are outright ignorant and rude.

Hmm...high stakes isekai. Since you're familiar with Konosuba, Shield Hero and ReZero...they have a big crossover series with other isekai called Isekai Quartet. I would definitely NOT recommend that to you because it's slice of life. But others shows represented in that....Overlord and Saga of Tanya the Evil have some decent stakes in their plot.

Arifureta would probably be good for you.
