My thoughts and comparisons of groups subbing the anime I'm watching this season. The tag listed next to each title is my current group of choice for that anime.

Nope, Dagger and I's version of Goku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei ep3 isn't dead yet. I got the OP translation from her a few days ago and did the karaoke timing for it. This was a fun bit to time:

Yes, that's two lines being sung at the same time. I had to time some syllables just by finding the gaps between other syllables since I could barely hear a few of them. But hey, it worked.
I was lazy and didn't make a post for the few I made last week, so they're getting lumped into this one. Oh well.

Normally CR's translations for Shugo Chara are great. But sometimes I come across some very WTF-inducing lines. Like this one in episode 94.

WTF is IIX?
Seriously guys, I learned roman numerals in, like, second grade. How do you screw that up? Also, the way the line is phrased makes it sound like the Mk. IV came after the others.
So I fixed it in my version.

So I just watched Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 ep3 and went to update the counter on MyAnimeList. Instead of my list, though, I got this nice little message:
Access has been restricted for this account (IP: 10.2.10.22).
If you feel this is an error, please contact banned@myanimelist.net.
This is a temporary ban, it will be removed at some point in time. If you
feel this ban has been exceptionally long, please send an e-mail
to the address above stating your case.
Disregarding the fact that I've barely done anything there besides update my list and thus have no idea what the hell I could possibly have gotten banned for, the great part is that that's not even close to my IP address. Mine is currently 76.220.194.88. Which leads me to believe that whoever runs the site is just an idiot and screwed something up yet again.
Edit:
But wait, it gets better! I got curious and looked up that IP on DomainTools and guess what I found. It's an IP in one of the specially reserved ranges used by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority, i.e. the people who oversee the allocation of IP addresses. And apparently MAL has banned it. Good luck with that, guys.
Edit 2:
I got up this morning (read: noon) and, as I expected, this had been fixed and I was able to log in as usual. I figured it affected multiple users, if not everyone on MAL, and from the comments I'm guessing I was right.
