Why I lost my fansubber job
Currently listening to ‘Kaze No Toorimichi’ from ‘My Neighbor Totoro’
Currently fucking bored
Ehem. Some of you guys already know that I used to be a fansubber ( yeah, i do the typo part ). Then, I got fired for unlogical reason. They said that “are you crazy or on cracks or something?”.

*SPOILER WARNING*
I assume that nearly all anime fan already watched “My Neighbor Totoro”. If you haven’t watch the anime, there’s no point to continue from here. You won’t understand if you haven’t watch that anime.
Here some of the screenshots from the anime I fansubbed.
—
Scene 01: They just arrived at their new home.

Mei’s playing with a pillar that’s very flimsy

They went to back of the house and saw lotsa susuwatari runaway. They dun know what’s susuwatari yet.

Their father came in while they’re trying to look for the “black black thingie”
—
Scene 2: A boy, their neighbor, came to pass them something. Welcoming stuff…

The boy teases Satsuki and runs away”

The boy’s grandma was there and she’s not happy with it
—
Scene 3: Bathing scene (note: this scene is censored in some releases)

Mei questions about the strong wind outside

Her dad told her that there’s nothing to be afraid of.

The wind went stronger and Satsuki joins in
—
Scene 4: Mei founds Totoro

Mei, wanna play around the house

Chibi Totoro tries to hide himself and went invisible

Mei tries to follow Chibi Totoro and Chu Totoro

Curious, Mei climbed up Totoro

Mei plays around with Totoro’s nose

Mei lay down on Totoro. Must be comfy…

Satsuki finally found her lost sister.
—
Scene 5: While waiting for dad at the bus stop in the rain

Totoro came to the bus stop. Satsuki, who never met Totoro before curious want to know what is the furry being standing next her.

She saw Totoro soaking wet and offer him the extra umbrella.

Totoro accepts the umbrella and use it.

Totoro summons the Cat Bus. The Cat Bus arrives and stopped right in front of them.

Totoro rides the bus and leaves.
—
Scene 7: Satsuki lost her sister (Mei ran away). Desperate, she met Totoro for help…

Satsuki fell on Totoro from above
—
Scene 8: Seconds before the credit rolls. They wave goodbye to the bus.

They wave to the cat bus. The bus leaves and vanishes in mid air.
—
Until now, I still dunno why I got fired. *sigh*
NOTE: Seriously, obviously this is not the reason why I lost my job as a fansubber ( “I quit”, I didn’t get fired. Note that. ). And.. I dun have any issues with My Neighbor Totoro . It’s my #1 favourite anime till now. I used it here because last Wednesday I rewatch it without subtitles and I end up to create my own subtitles in my mind. Hehehehe. End

p/s: I’m just too fucking bored

Edo Byte: Mei called the furry being “Totoro”. She actually wanted to say “Tororu” (troll) but she mispronounced it.








A loud abnormal erratic individual with extreme interest in arts. A Maaya Sakamoto die-hard fan who worships Totoro. Blogs about random stuff that goes around him. Rarely blog, because lately he's just either too busy or just too lazy.

… I don’t normally say anything when I see things like this, but…
…I’m sorry… I really really wanna say… um… I felt really… INSULTED?… That you’d do things like this to such an innocent anime?
… I hope you don’t mind, but I actually have a 2 years old bro that worships Totoro… thats why I can feel so strongly against this… I have only read the first few frames tho. I have to say of all the screenshot modifications I have seen, this is the ABSOLUTE FIRST… uhhh… hmmm… never mind. I have nothing more I can say without raising my online voice.
… wow… I have actually said so much… sorry…

Dude..we couldn’t fucking care what you or your bro think..the damn thing is a joke..live with it. Not like we’re dissing the anime or anything. Oh..and before you say anything, yes, I’m a Hayao Miyazaki fan myself..so yeah..

Nikki, Yuhi and lsyeow: Whoa, c’mon guys, dun go off topic here. Sheesh.
Chrishadow: Ehem, sorry if the post hurts your feeling so much. Like I said, My Neighbor Totoro is my one of my most favourite anime ( seriously, I already watch it more than 50 times no kidding even I can memorize what they saying already )and nearly everyone already watch it. It would be fun to insult my own favourite anime. Let’s say, I hate Naruto the Movie. Insulting Naruto the Movie sounds like I’m a normal critizer.
If I insult Ghost in the Shell, which is also my favourite anime too, nobody will get the joke since not lot of people already watch it.
Again, sorry if i hurt ur feelings, kay.
Chill.. Thanks for visiting.
Yuhi: Hey, Chill. Dun insult my visitor lar ~

in the year 2001, I was an encoder for the one of the famous fansubs, not really that great, but I’ve been in the fansubs too :)
WHy did I quit? When there’s once where the group gros so big and famous, and we’re more like an employee who wants to release things asap and not care whether we’re enjoying ourselves doing it or not.
Yeah, Its a jobsub rather than fansub. I’d rather go work for the DVD companies ._.
