Project Imas Fansub!

Magenta Galaxy:
I don't really know if that's true. Certainly im@s is ~big in Japan~ and all, but as much as we delude ourselves otherwise the western im@s fanbase is actually surprisingly small. While we have a very active and tight-knit community here, if you compare the amount of traffic im@s tends to get on more 'general' sites about anime/gaming/whatever it's nearly non-existant.

Don't get me wrong - there's certainly a good chance it'd get picked up by some random group out there because it's good, but I don't think the western im@s fanbase is anywhere near copious enough for it to be something people would do just because it's 'popular'.

Scotty:
Look at how many new anime shows pop up each season. Now look at how they almost never fail to get subbed.

Surely iM@S will get subbed.

Magenta Galaxy:
Probably. Perhaps I'm slightly pessimistic because I tend to dabble more in the sort of "yet more robots beating each other up (for 8 year olds)" style of anime that doesn't tend to get the same kind of tenacious subbing as "yet another goddamn moe show" - which is probably the demographic the im@s anime will fall into.

Still, time will tell, I suppose. Me being pessimistic isn't going to make a bit of difference in the long run. :V

This whole topic is full of 'coulds' 'maybes' and 'ifs'. Could someone just start making a list of people that will be in it for sure?

Well, sorry to be unorganized. We are just starting out, and you're obviously looking at a bunch of greenhorns. For now, I'd let people keep on listing who could help out so later we can rule out everyone except who can and will take part in it. There's no given time for the anime's airing, and if we're to believe that the airing's next summer, then we have all the time we could possibly need to put at team up. Don't see this as optimism, because if it was, I should've said "We will make a team." "If we do make a team, we'll try our hands out on it," that's just my realism.

Of course, if you do want to see a leader figure working on this, I suppose I can wear a wooden fist (because I went to the tyranny shop, and they were out of iron ones), but I like the team (when assembled) to assign its own head staff. Just being democratic, as I see it's the fair choice.

@MG: Well, you're probably too late, as I'll admit your convo with Scotty just now has a way of draining morale outta people interested in this (Sorry. Just being honest). Your fansub group or anyone else's may try to sub it if you like, but I still say we, members of the site, should do this, just because we're fans, hence the planned fansubbing group. I don't know how well we'll work, but it's way too early for us to jump to conclusions and draw our own progress. ;)

Picup:
It's great you guys are doing this, truly.  I enjoy subs from fans of the series because they can understand some things from the series that outside groups might not be able to (because it's a "joke" in the game? Did this make any sense at all?).

Anyways, I think what the topic needs is maybe a list of the "jobs" in subbing, and an explanation of each.

(Translator, script-checker, Timer/Typesetter/"subber", Quality Checker, Encoder I think)

It's good to get a pool of people who are willing to help, but it probably helps to know what people are needed or what needs to be done.

I can also give you guys a hand (with everything but translating and encoding, I think if I tried to encode on my laptops they would just blow up...) dependent as well when the anime comes out.

haha, my first thought when I heard about the anime is that "Magenta's group is going to sub this for sure".
