Took me too long to recognize what you mean by flanderized even as I'm watching the Simpsons right now.

this wasn't helped by the fact [EG] stopped doing encodes for like a decade before doing a ZZ BD v2 using the official subs, so you had to fucking pray you found the rar file with the subs retimed to his raw too lol

ZZ's a messy show, but its nowhere near as much as the old subs make ya think.

dungeonmonkey.bsky.social•16 days ago

mostly just kind of tomino using what parts of L-Gaim didn't end up in Zeta, tbh, and that's hardly a problem. considering most Tomino shows now have full and generally better subs makes me wonder if part of ZZ's mass reappraisal is from the way we have full context of it now.

I mean, "some fag with a rose." is 100% in character, even if it isn't a linguistically accurate translation of dialogue in a Japanese TV show.

IMO the single un-realistic thing about Gundam is Tomino wouldn't be allowed to write dialogue the way actual teenagers and soldiers talk IRL.

And even then Zeta and double Zeta push as hard as they can on that too.

fansub opinions way so, so, so badly the blind leading the blind for something you need to see lol

How old is this sub anyways?
I've always pictured it being made in the early 2000's
So happy I experienced ZZ with the BR 🤧

milph.mom•18 days ago

I watched ZZ back in like 2008, so around that old.

zetabuster.bsky.social•18 days ago

I mean that makes sense
I think Zeta was first brought over in like 2005/2006?
I know ZZ wasn't brought over till 2016 ☠️

i’m gonna get the better subs as soon as i get home i promise mom

There also happens to be an infamous SEA-territory sub that kinda only exists as “lost media” clips today.

Not helpful to anyone wanting to watch the series but an interesting curio into Singapore-region dub quality in 2005.

probably the greatest loss of megaupload was that a good chunk of that was archived and passed around on /m/ back in the day too lol. there's a decent chance its just rotting on some HDD or a half-disc rotted DVD-R somewhere.

misinformation may be bad on today's internet, but i'm glad we're past the era when anyone who knew how to make a decent infographic could more or less dictate consensus reality

The idea of skipping ZZ is slightly, SLIGHTLY more justified if this is what you had to experience
