Lol, I shoulda checked if it was there or not, I do know Sword Art Online is.
Fansubs aren't as bad as they sound, there's pros and cons to fansubs and pro subs. Just don't get into the debates since both sides are usually retarded and put more opinions into it actual facts.

Yeah, I guess...thinking about it, I'd rather have pro subs. That said, it's not like I'm gonna stop watching shows that don't have accessible pro subs.
Of course, as with most debates like that, I'm pretty sure I'd just be wading into a shitstorm. I see no reason to do that with something as silly as this.
That's pretty much how I'm going with it, I discovered the debate even existed through Inst and then I looked it up and those debates almost gave me cancer. The flamewars between the different fansub groups are worse.
TVtropes gives a decent reason why people use them.
Though if you read
this and the first part on the Anime and Manga section of it, it explains some of the problems with fansubs. Though it also shows a few pro stuff that also suffers from this.
Though some of the problems that some have with Pro-subs is that some of them are badly translated (mostly older stuff), or the subs are the subtitles of the English dub script instead of the Japanese script. Luckily these aren't common practice anymore, but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen anymore.
Thanks. That should me a good idea of it all.
It's one of those seemingly frivolous things that a lot of people take wayyyyyyy too seriously.
I know Inst flipped shit when he found out one of his favorite shows was getting dubbed, and the whole time I'm thinking "then don't watch it".
It's one of those really pathetic "ruined forever!!!!!!" cries, except kind of worse since you can actually ignore it, unlike video games.
My favorites are the ones where they only use the Japanese names of the shows, like Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu and Toaru Kagaku no Railgun instead of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya and A Certain Scientific Railgun respectively. (Though with the latter I can kind of excuse since they localized the series very recently, whereas the first one is just for pretentiousness since it's an "old" show.)
Just to show off who has more anime fan cred than the others, while the rest of us just rolls our eyes thinking "who gives a shit?".
I never really got fan cred. Just watch the show/listen to the music/play the game/etc. People spend more time arguing over stupid shit like that than actually enjoying things they claim to enjoy.
I never got the cred either, it's really just a dick measuring contest.
Though back to the topic, there's a currently airing comedy called
Servant x Service that I find pretty interesting. It's basically like a sitcom about these people who work in a government office building, and the silly shit they go through. The only con about this, is that it kind of has a lame first episode.
It's simulcasting on Crunchyroll which means that they have it translated and subbed a day or so after the episode airs in Japan.
What's up with every anime having at least 1 moment where a female character grabs another female character's boobs? I don't think I've seen a single anime where this doesn't happen. You can't tell me that Japanese girls actually do that...
