Feedback Forum, Special Soulppuuden Edition/DB Picks Up New Project
2008/06/27
Welcome to the latest special edition of Dattebayo's popular Feedback Forum. This edition features dumb questions related to our controversial "Naruto Soulppuuden 063" release.
What is this Naruto Soulppuuden thing?
Naruto Soulppuuden is in fact, a fakesub of Soul Eater episode 10. It is not Soul Eater episode 01. It is also not Soil Eater, Soul Eraser, Soul Hunter, Sole Eater, Tsubaki, Rockstar, Soul Reaper, Soul Faker, Soul Edge, Death Eater, Soul Ater or Soul Beater. Yes, these are all versions of the name of the anime that people sent to us via feedback, despite the fact that the title SOUL EATER was plastered on the screen SIX TIMES during the 22 minute episode. And you people wonder why we hate you.
I downloaded Naruto Shippuuden 063 and it was another show? WTF?
I'm afraid you did not. If you read carefully, you will see that SHIPPUUDEN and SOULPUUDEN are in fact, different words. Amazing, I know.
Will you be subbing Soul Eater now?
Absolutely not. Some of our more astute viewers may have noticed lots of implicit criticism of the show in our subs. The majority of the staff hates Soul Eater. There is no way we will ever sub this show. Keep in mind, this is from a group that fansubbed several episodes of Pokemon.
But how can you say such a thing? Soul Eater was so funny and clever!
We hate to burst your bubble (actually, that's a lie, we love it), but in fact the subs in our release of Soul Eater were almost entirely made up. This is the definition of a fakesub. Zarharva, who "translated" the episode, does not actually speak Japanese. So while Zarharva is certainly funny and clever, Soul Eater is not.
I noticed some mistakes in your translations. I knew you guys were a lousy sub group.
Yes, as previously mentioned, the entire translation was made up. If you only noticed "some" mistakes in our translation, you are probably not qualified to critique our work (not that that has ever stopped any of you).
Seriously, Dattebayo, trolls are funny and all, but you need to stop delaying real episodes.
Dattebayo released this troll episode during a week when there was no actual Naruto Shippuuden episode. The same has been true of every single other troll episode we have ever released. We have never delayed a real episode for a troll (or for any other non-legitimate reason). So stop complaining.
Bonus Announcement
DB is pleased to announce that it is picking up a new project, Denno Coil. This 26-episode series has already finished airing and will not be released on a weekly basis. This means we will get to it when we get to it, so please do not complain about slow releases. While Denno Coil is a departure from our other projects, it is an excellent series. We hope that you will give it a chance!
