Trouble in the Host Club...
Over in [info]ouranhostclub, [info]chiisanahime makes a post ranting about the poor quality of the For Richer or Poorer fansub. According to the OP, there are numerous translation errors in the sub of episode eighteen.
Some people thank the OP for the info, others warn that the OP's use of words like "unacceptable", "cheated", and "trainwreck" is rather harsh, and still others...get rather upset.

"Don't like? Don't watch! And don't you dare complain about something you're getting for free!
The Ouran fandom is sooo meeeeeaaaan!!! And...uh...eats its young!

Sarcasm and too many analogies abound. Meanwhile, I wait patiently for the Lunar fansub.

Subsituting speed for quality is always preferrable. I mean, how else are you going to get fame (on the internet), prestige (on the internet), and increase the size of your e-penis? Kids these days.

My goodness. Upon re-reading this I see I really did go overboard with the analogies.

Oops. Hopefully someone can get a laugh out of my blatant idiocy.

Pfft, that's not a harsh review of a fansub. A harsh review of a fansub would be something like:

"FROP is a fucking piece of shit that turn out hack translations just because they need their pathetic e-penis stroked by being first to put out a new episode."

Or maybe I've been around 4chan too much.

Oh thank god there's a sub of eighteen out! Who cares if there are translation errors? 1) Wait for Viz's manga version or 2) wait for Lunar.

... Hm.
I concede her point though. Those subs were just... odd.
But then, I only watch FRoP subs on YouTube, and dl Lunar subs instead.

"You're being belligerent and abusive!"

"No, YOU'RE being belligerent and abusive!"

"No, look, I've commented thirteen times explaining how YOU were being belligerent and abusive! Pay attention!"

"Whatever, I've replied thirteen times explaining how... oh... your eyes... I... I hadn't noticed before, but they sparkle so pretty."

"...now that you mention it... your lips... while belligerent and abusive, do make me want to kiss kiss fall in love."


C'mon, dude, Ouran is too pretty for any real hate.

I know naught of this fandom. But! I really like the acronym "FRoP" and think it should be a word. Say it with me: frop, frop, frop.

People want quality control in a fansub? Yeah, maybe back in the tape trading days. Now, when it's a race to get the quickest stuff out there for download--despite the fact that fucking everything short of little boy porn is subject for licensing--that's a bygone era. You get what you pay for, guys.

And now I'm annoyed because apparently I'm one of those awful horrid fans that didn't discover YYH until it aired on Adult Swim.

This is exactly why I don't consider myself an anime fan.
