I love the fansub people! It's astonishing how much work they do for nothing - whenever I get all whiny about why something isn't dubbed I think about how wonderful it is that there are people out there willing to do this and feel ashamed of myself.

What is annoying/ironic about all of this is that I had a friend who used to live right up the road (but has since moved far away) who used to watch these all the time and I could have been watching them with her then, but didn't realise their wonders at the time. And as she was Chinese she could have told me about actual plot things even when there were no subtitles. *shakes fist at fate*
