Soichiro, bro, gg will help you out

EDIT 2
Dattebayo LLC, our lifetime heterosexual partner, expresses interest in making this a joint investing venture.

EDIT
Soichiro posted the following on Chihiro’s webpage:

P.S. If you’re planning to troll me or Chihiro because of this post, don’t bother. gg already did it. It’s only funny once. ;D

Soichiro, not cool bro, not cool. We know you’re not really in debt with your university and that you’re actually trying to scam downloaders for money to go to Japan. Please don’t call us trolls when we’re trying to help you. We even drew up a PDF describing the deal.

Earlier today, fellow fansubber Soichiro posted a cry for help on Shinsen’s webpage.

Desperation posted by Soichiro on Wed Nov 11 14:14:56 2009
As many of you know, I’ve been with Shinsen for three and a half years now, and I’ve taken part in dozens of projects. However, I currently find myself at a difficult and desperate point. I currently owe my university $2127 for this semester, and if I don’t pay it off by November 20th, I won’t be able to register for classes for next semester. I’ve maxed out my government financial aid, I’ve spent all the money in my bank account toward tuition, I can’t get any private loans because of my family’s terrible credit history, and my parents can’t help me because they don’t have any money to spare after paying their bills. So, as a last-ditch effort, I’m asking you, the loyal supporters of Shinsen, to help me in my hour of need. Every little bit that you can chip in would help. If you are willing and able to help, please send your donations to my paypal, kaiichisoichiro@sbcglobal.net. Thank you very much, all of you.

Yours Truly,
Soichiro

gg has always been an innovator in the fansub world: h264, mkv, breaking VLC, commercials, full softsubs, “video and anime quality correlative encoding” – we’ve done it all. But recently, we’ve been in a slump asking ourselves, “Hey, what do we do next?” After seeing Soichiro’s post, we immediately knew where to take fansubbing next: Buying other groups. Thus, gg staff has gotten out our bottle caps and lemonade stand money. One of our Senior VP’s, `House, would like to buy 51% ownership of Shinsen Subs for $2000. As part of the deal, Freya should be made founder of #shinsen-subs on Rizon, your domain should be transferred to us, and we want your MBS capper(s).

Please contact us on Rizon if you’d like to discuss the matter further.

  1. The gg board of directors fully supports our CEO and president miasmacloud in this venture.

  2. I approve of this purchase.

  3. You’re all such warm-hearted people.

  4. I have no stake in this whatsoever, but it’s too glorious for anybody not to approve.

  5. So when can we buy gg stock?

  6. I was about to have a “d’awww” moment before remembering that this is gg…Now I’m just confused, but it’s a nice prospective deal~

  7. i love you [gg]

    best group ever

  8. 10/10. I’d better start up my own fansubbing group now so you can buy me out in 2 years when I need to fly to Japan.

  9. Hahah oh lol. If you need 2k, go get a job dude.

  10. If troll, 10/10.
    If for real, 11/10.

  11. See this is what me and my friends have always been saying. Make everything a free market system and the problems solve themselves. Plus I’m totally waiting to by gg stock. Got to move all my money out AoShen

  12. So koda, you changed your name to Freya?

  13. Fansubbing – SERIOUS FUCKING BUSINESS.

    TL Note: I’m ashamed that not one of you said this yet.

    • why would they said that here. fuck you

      • oh fuck wrong grammar. Fucked up…

        • Technically, his sense of shame could have come from the shattering realization that nobody, in fact, shares his shallow appreciation for memetic non-humour.

          On the post itself: $2000 seems like a bit much to throw around for the sake of trolling, but it’d still be awesome if you went ahead and actually did it.

  14. fucking would lol again.

    btw, you guys got me kicked out of my lecture. Extra props.

  15. gg Amalgamated Enterprises Inc. needs to happen, so I can naked short sell you guys to oblivion just for the lulz.

  16. I think the monopoly board might have something to say about this. gg will become the next Microsoft, mark my words.

  17. gg will never be anything but a fansubbing group mark my word ^o^

  18. So like, as mentioned in this post and several other posts, I’ve heard you say gg and DB are bros right.

    But after years of blatantly refusing I finally decided to give Bleach a shot (yes, it’s one of the most terrible fucking shows that I’ve ever seen that I’ve wasted my life on) and DB… the translation… dear god…

    Here are a sample of the words they REFUSE to translate: “reiatsu, kidou, zanpakutou, Seireitei, shunpo”. I just have to wonder, are they mentally retarded? For gg to publicly align themselves with a group that appeals to teenage boys who think that injecting Japanese words into TL makes them so omfgbadass is beyond me.

  19. FUCKING GOOKS AND ZIPPERHEADS

    ^
    Status = trolled
    Bro.

  20. @wtfshame

    That is a given. Dattebayo has young translators whom aren’t even native Japanese. Young+not native japanese = terrible English + Japanese. The insertation of romanized japanese goes to show that they do not have suitable words in English for them
