Koji Oe ragequits fansub watching

Good grief, if ever there was a thankless job, fansubbing would be it. The trigger was:

I’ve gotten so tired of fan sub groups and their shitty subs and fitting in over 9000 internet memes into one episode. So f*ck fan subs. [Doh, forgot about the AnimeNano filter.]

I have my pet gripes wrt some fansub groups re: timeliness, (lack of) completion, (adaptation of) honorifics, (lack of xdcc/weak seeding) distro, (retreat of AVI) encoding blah blah blah but, at the end of the day, hey it's free (as in beer), thanks guys and gals for all your hard work!  Well at least one positive is that Koji Oe will be using his aggressive feelings to become a Dark Lord of Badass Raw Watching (BRW) and Watching Anime for Enjoyment. All the best!

The feasibility of BRW varies from series to series though. As absolute0 observed:

When Mouryou no Hako came out, I attempted to blog from the raws but the show proved too difficult for my Nihongo skills. In the end, I stopped blogging about it.

I can't help but fantasize about how Japan Foundation, JESS and JAM will put together some kind of certification scheme around a Japanese Anime Language Proficiency Test where JALPT N1 means you are officially recognized to be able to go forth and BRW Ghost in the Shell, GA:GADC, Yuki Nagato's explanations etc. without any problems. No guarantees about its usability outside  outside of Akiba, Otome Road and Nakano Broadway though.

Applying Two Blogger Rule and Bracketing to GA: Geijutsuka Art Design Class

Ayako didn't release GA:GADC subs on a weekly basis but praise be to them for having completed the whole series; I'm still in agony over the yet-to-released sub for the final episode of Mouryou no Hako.

I have the batch for Geijutsuka downloaded and tucked away but I have not managed to get beyond the first episode (which I watched just after its initial release). My problem is two-fold; I haven't found a second blogger to fulfill the requirements of my Two Blogger Rule for ordering All Systems Go on watching a new (to me) series. Some of the strongest advocates of GA:GADC got head but no tail.

A particular reading displeasure

of mine is when I'm trying to read a post and the text gets pushed down repeatedly as images load. [Add: Blog owners who don't realize this because the images are already preloaded in their browser caches in the course of drafting their posts, get a clue already please.]

This can be megas irritating when a post has a lot of images. It's also particularly egregious since this issue can be easily overcome by adding 'width="a in px" height="b in px" ' in the img src HTML tag or 'style="width: Apx; height:Bpx;" '; I'm sure the CSS whizs will have even better suggestions. Inputting image height and width have also been incorporated into WordPress rich visual editor.

Why oh why oh why doesn't everyone do it? Come on, guys, gals and traps, it ain't rocket science!
