No, stop making things up. I never said I could read Japanese. If anything, my point in having the text is to learn something. But it wouldn't matter if I could or couldn't. It's not the point. It's only that I see it as a big mistake to hardsub that sort of thing. Serioulsy, anybody like that ugly stuff? If someone says they do, I take it with a grain of salt. Especially when it can be softsubbed. But it's already been implied by someone that some of that is done to "brand", which is another reason to hate it being done. It's almost as bad as those actual "brands" of some lame logo of an irc channel or site. The credit all goes to the actual creators of the material, no need to cheapen it with "branding".

As far as the kid who said something about getting it for free. If I really want something, I'll buy it. But guess what? Some of them never get released on this side of the world and probably never will, or not in so many years that it will be unlikely I still care by then. Macross Frontier is one of those cases that won't get released here. I guess next you're going to whine that I should go buy it there?
