Official Sub Akibaranger on youtube

Post by ramza81 »

I don't know if this is against the rule or not. But I'd like to share that there's official sub Akibaranger on youtube.

http://www.youtube.com/user/akibaranger There's only 4 episodes subbed right now. Unfortunately, it's only available to view in asia (maybe).

http://www.jefusion.com/2012/08/watch-a ... utube.html This is the news at jefussion.

If this is against the rule, please just delete this.

Not available in the US. Why is it English subbed and not available in the US?

Maybe because Bandai Hongkong that published this?

I'm in Indonesia and I can watch this.

Btw, they translate the catchphrase as Lameness is Power, instead of Pain is Power.

That's a reasonable translation. I kinda feel like it looses the umph though.

The subs are fairly good. I prefer the fansubs for some things but, as far as official translations, it's definitely worth watching.

The US isn't the only place in the world where English is spoken.

No, but it certainly has a good chunk of those English speakers.

It's an official sub, so licensing and stuff has to be taken into an account. It has nothing to do with who can potentially enjoy the Englishness of it. If it's licensed for Hong Kong and its surrounding regions, that's who it's for.

British and America are both English speaking countries and we have Internet videos IP locked out from each other all the time. There's no point in complaining about it, that's just how the system works.

Not complaining, just my way of calling out the stupidity of it. I'm perfectly content with T-N's subs for it.

It's probably licensed for South Asia regions, because Tamashii South Asia is currently trying to promote the S.H. Figuarts items for AkibaRangers.

As Takenoko already explained, it's not stupidity, it's how licensing works.
Companies must pay for each 'region' where they want to sell stuff.

If you take into account all the countries where English is an official language you're dealing with far more than the US.

The best examples that comes to mind are Brazil and Australia.
They have their own releases for videogames and movies, which are usually on a different region setting, have different release date and are on a completely different licensing/distributing channel. And of course they're in Portuguese/English, but have nothing to do with either the UK, Portugal, US or whatever. They even could have a different localization due to different laws/politics/taste.
