Looks like GG is no longer subbing Geass :( Shame, I thought they were the best out of the subbing groups...

EDIT: Although this is on the GG main page, people are saying this could be some kind of joke? Apparently anonymous made a fake Photoshop of their news page, and posted it on 4chan. I guess someone from GG thought it funny enough to make into an actual news post.

Oh you, gg, oh you.

Does anyone else here remember the old [gg]? Back before Eliza dropped off the face of the internet and they shut down for a couple of months? Back when they were still friendly and encouraged fandom participation and did fun stuff like Seto no Hanayome (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=7460) that was unheard of and unlikely to draw a huge fanbase but was totally awesome anyway? Remember back when they had that Orenji-kun themed front page, with the poem about how Orenji-kun really loved oranges but also wanted to hold Viletta's boobs? Back when they were the only worthwhile group doing even close to half-decent subs of Code Geass? Back when they all still thought it was the shizznit? (Not that I'm disagreeing about how Code Geass isn't what it used to be - I dare any of you here to tell me that R2 is even half as awesome as R1 was - but seriously, there's no need to hate. It's still fun.) Back before they all became trollfags totally enamored of the suffix "fag" because it was part of their identity?

Yeah, I miss the old [gg].

According to a friend of mine that frequents /a/ this is yet another unfunny joke put up by a subbing group that thinks it's clever.

Long story short: someone made that page in Photoshop and a head mod at gg decided to go ahead with the joke.

Look, another joke thread with Eclipse dropping Geass: http://zip.4chan.org/a/res/14013030.html

Just another case of 4chan douchebaggery folks, move along.

THEY SMELL SO BAD I'M GOING TO FUCKING KICK DOWN THEIR DOWN AND TELL THEM TO TAKE A FUCKING SHOWER. OR CLEAN THE PLACE UP A BIT. BECAUSE THEY FUCKING SMELL LIKE FUCKING SHIT. FUCK.

[yamikakyuu.livejournal.com]

Hmm well I didnt watch there subs anyway but man...nice bunch of ppl it seems. The retarded fanbase comment was a bit much. Oh well, moving on.

[treeflamingo.livejournal.com]

I've only seen one Eclipse episode (downloaded it just to try them out), but they it was a pretty decent job and there was nothing radically different from the [gg] translations. I think you'll be okay with them. Not much choice anyway.

[koyuki-azumaya.livejournal.com]

I liked Eclipse's subs anyway :D lol

[epistretes.livejournal.com]

I preferred Eclipse anyway and haven't used gg since season one ended (and many of the eps of season one I didn't get from them anyway because of all their arsing about). Sounds like butthurt to me, there are only a handful of episodes left.

No loss.

[yamikakyuu.livejournal.com]

Thats what I was thinking as well, Ive always watched Eclipse's.

[rolololo.livejournal.com]

lol what douchebags.

[http://users.livejournal.com/-gainax-/]

This may very well be true, seeing as I first found out about it on the /a/ board! XD

I should probably delete this post if that's the case... Guess we'll find out for sure on Sunday though!

[suruma.livejournal.com]

Aww, and I liked the FABULOUS opening.

[kasumi-blue.livejournal.com]

...Yeah. Probably best to check your sources before you announce it >.>;;

Or wait until gg takes down the page because chances are they will before Sunday. Subbing groups are really predictable when it comes to this sort of thing.

[a-songfor-xx.livejournal.com]

I've always been watching Eclipse anyway, so it makes no difference to me. Don't see the need for them to be so rude though. =X

[coloredpastels.livejournal.com]

I don't really care, since I always preferred Eclipse anyways.

...I don't see why they needed to bash Code Geass and its fans. It's fine that they don't like Code Geass, but the "retarded fanbase" wasn't necessary. >>

[http://users.livejournal.com/-gainax-/]

Well 4Chan isn't really a reliable source of information to be fair :P

[bangflip.livejournal.com]

"Pepperidge farm remembers."


But, no, seriously, that sounds pretty awesome and worth missing even if this whole thing turns out to be fake.

[ansela-jonla.livejournal.com]

This seems far too similar to the sort of joke that Dattebayo plays for me to take it seriously. The fact that they make a not so subtle reference to Dattebayo's trolls just reinforces it in my mind. Until Sunday/Monday comes, I'll be sitting on the fence on this one.

[treeflamingo.livejournal.com]

Even if that's true and [gg] isn't dropping Code Geass, I think I just might be irritated enough with the prickiness that has swallowed them that I'll switch to Eclipse anyway. If this is a stunt, it's an awfully alienating and juvenile one.

...this from one of those chicks who would only watch [gg] subs and would wait whole days extra instead of watching one of those abominations yourmom called a fansub...

[nokiirat.livejournal.com]

i like gg and how they don't take crap from the fanbase.
we are pretty retarded at times.

[treeflamingo.livejournal.com]

Yeah. The old [gg] was good times. ...where did you watch R1 if not [gg]? There was nobody else doing a sub worth watching, as I recall...

[treeflamingo.livejournal.com]

You're gonna have to explain the Pepperidge Farm reference, cuz it's totally lost on me. Cookies, while delicious, have no obvious connection with Code Geass or its fansubbers? And even if this is a lame hoax, the new [gg] is still not nearly as much fun as the old [gg] was. :(

....holy shneikies how is talking about fandom making me feel old?

[spleener.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I have a lot of respect for gg. Good translation, good speed, good sense of humor.

[bangflip.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure it's from old Pepperidge Farm commercials, where they talked about how things used to be made and after every "Do you remember when [insert phrase here]?" question they would answer "Pepperidge Farm remembers." Your comment made me think of that.

It still sounds great, like I would actually hang around there. The front page now isn't really that...appealing.

Nah, I know about you mean about the "old" comment. I'm in some fandoms where the new fans just plain suck whereas the older fans are great and it makes you reminisce. I'm sure every pretty fandom is like that to some extent though. Don't think of it as old though. "Mature" is a much better term to use.

[empanadas]

... What?

Such a shame they're not subbing Geass anymore; their translations are really good. Too bad they have to be complete a-holes about it. \O__o/

OH, WELL! There's always Eclipse!
