[PM] subs too slow

Is it just me or is [PM] subs way too slow when it comes to subbing this, like they release an episode every 2-3 weeks meaning we get further behind every week and before we know it X/Y will be 15 eps in and we won't see it for weeks after the airdate, do you guys think it will be a good idea if we asked another fansubber to continue the series, sure they do a good job subbing but other fansubbers are just more consistent and on time.

I understand that subbing is probably alot harder than it looks and people have time constraints but if others can do so many series on time then I don't see why [PM] are so slow

Ok even though you quoted my entire post it doesn't seem like you read all of it because I worded it in the nicest way possible, Pokemon has a french subber called [Saikou] who is more on time and regular than [PM], this is french we are talking about and I'm actually surprised that more groups don't want to do Pokemon.

The whole point of fansubbers so to provide the community with subs of anime because not everyone wants or "has the time" to learn the language, if a fansubber can't do regular releases then they shouldn't sub at all because being 7 eps behind is kinda annoying when your'e trying to keep up with the series, imagine if Naruto or One Piece was 7 weeks late, people would lose their shit.

The only reason noone has posted this is because they are afraid of being seen as "self centered and rude" by sensitive little twats like yourself who take shit the wrong way and on further inspection you have no right too talk about being rude when you called someone a noob for watching only 46 anime, I could call you a noob since I've seen 100+ more anime than you but I'm not going to because I'm not that petty.

We're a fairly busy bunch. This summer has been busy for most of our staff in multiple different ways. We all have work and other related projects we are currently doing. As it was stated above, we finished the DP HD sub pack earlier which was a priority.

Do you think you could start a blog, where you could post what you're currently working on and possible ETAs? Or something similar, because what I find the most frustrating is that your releases are totally irregular.

Also, is there any chance you might catch up with the episodes before XY starts?

Sunain said:
We don't have a release schedule and never have because we never know staff availability. We'd rather not set times/dates and then miss them.

We will be caught up before XY starts for sure.

>Nicest way possible.

Not to mention- raising the issue itself is inherently rude, considering there is no reasonable goal to be attained from doing so. What do you plan to achieve? Convince people to boycott PM? There is literally NOTHING to be gained by complaining about it. Who would be willing to step up after seeing your post? Nobody, because they'd wind up thinking "well, if I wind up not possibly catering to all of his demands, he's just going to throw a bitch fit. Why should I even bother subbing for such a fanbase?". You have to realize that one person can potentially be a representative of the entire group of fans.

Dude, you should seriously check your attitude. Have you even considered /asking them/ why they're behind? Maybe there are personal issues at hand. Maybe school is hitting them hard. And hey, maybe they're just slowing down because people are complaining too much/assuming that circumstances are better than they are.

Speaking of assuming, your last paragraph is amusing. Did you even stop to consider that the person I was saying that to could possibly be, say, a friend of mine? There is more than one way to interpret every action, you know; don't be stuck on just one assumption.

(Spoiler: she is a friend of mine. Thought I'd made that obvious by the clearly forced incorrect spelling in our back-and-forth, but I suppose it was too subtle.)

AS YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE it payed off because we got a reply from the people themselves because previous contact would be impossible due to lack of website/blog etc.

We will also be skipping ahead starting with next week's episode, XY3, in an attempt to stay a bit more current, and instead finish off the remainder of BW as we find the time.
