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.

Even if it's a joke, it's not funny. >> And I don't mean that in a fangirly "I want my Geass" way, I mean that in a "that's in bad taste" kind of way.

It was just a bad joke.

I watched all of S1 on Veoh, except the last two episodes. I had to download those. When you mentioned the Orange-themed front page, I immediately remembered, haha. I DON'T REMEMBER ANYTHING ABOUT ANY GEASS SUBBING GROUP EXCEPT FOR THAT.

And just because I'm lazy, I'll say it here: the above poem is amazing and epic. I have just saved it. <3

[inclino.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that. It's just gg being gg.
It's kinda BAD NEWS if it's true, though, if only because Eclipse is slower and I'm not used to their subs and they don't have fabulous op lyrics and because I'm only watching Antique Bakery and Geass this season, I mean, now I have to resort to different groups. D:

I know that this is a practical joke and all, but...

Have you guys ever wandered off of LJ and taken a look at Geass' fanbase? Have you been to /a/ or AS or any anime blog? This show's fanbase IS fucking retarded. Fortunately, I find that LJ has less idiots than most venues. Thankfully. -_-

The fact that it's on Adult Swim now and open to a, *ahem*, certain demographic of people now is the reason I only stick around here and nowhere else for my Geass discussions. Well, here's to hoping it won't, although sadly it somewhat is, become the next Death Note. I was relieved when I only saw about 5 Code Geass cosplayers last month at Metrocon, to be honest; I mean, it's a semi-fangirl bait series to begin with, but since I haven't seen any merchandise of it anywhere it might slip under the rabid fangirl radar that's eaten all the popular series and spit them out like trash. Funny, reminds me of Eureka Seven if this continues: Supposedly big in Japan, and around 50 episodes long, but it never really caught on here... Well, here's to hoping.

And as for the 'dropping', I really prefer gg over Eclipse (...What's Eclipse's site? I've never found it, which I guess contributes to my liking gg over them.) because their subs just sound like someone actually talks; whereas the latter's can sound really wonky and unnatural at times.
But knowing them, it's probably a joke.

First of all, Eclipse's site is:
http://eclipse.no-sekai.de/

I don't really have a preference. More often than not, I end up using both a week. [gg] is faster by a few hours, and they release .ass files, so it works with a RAW. [Eclipse] releases .avi's and makes it easier for me to watch later. They're both good (well, decent), and /a/'s retarded fascination with the nonexistent subber rivalry (GG and Eclipse BFFs!) is pointlessly stupid.

Koda is cool, though, which is a plus for [gg]. The fact that she actually gets out into various discussion venues and has fun with the rest of the fanbase is not only good publicity for [gg] but just more fun for the rest of us.

To be honest, I haven't really noticed a change in the fandom once it hit AS. I did notice a change once R2 started airing, though. Maybe it's because despite it being fangirl/fanboy yaoi/hentai/harem fodder, there actually is a lot of stuff to mull over and consider. And maybe the people that stuck with the fandom in the interim were more interested in the nuances of this show (I feel silly writing that, BUT THEY DO EXIST!) than others who watch it and don't think about it--some of whom can't rub two brain cells together or are capable of even an inkling of critical thought.

Anyways, GOOD. Less exposure is probably a good thing.

YAY JAPANESE PROFICIENCY! おめでとうございます？

[treeflamingo.livejournal.com]

Well. Okay. Maybe half as awesome. But it certainly doesn't live up to the glorious awesymnitude of its forebear, R1.

[treeflamingo.livejournal.com]

YES. THE UNLIMITED ORANGE WORKS FRONT PAGE IS INDEED ARGUABLY THE MOST BEAUTIFUL AND WONDERFUL THING TO COME OUT OF THIS FANDOM, at least during R1, at least IMHO.

[treeflamingo.livejournal.com]

Ohhhhh. Well, that makes sense then.

[gg] has completely given up on having a forum. (Hence their less than appealing front page.) If you wanna hang out and feel cool, you have to ping them on IRC. Except that I never figured out how to use IRC, so I mostly hang out and feel lame.

Yes... yes... *strokes chin in a plotting fashion* yes, let us refer to ourselves as mature, those of us who got into this fandom before it exploded into uncontrollable enormity... hrrmmm... yes... that will make us feel important instead of just old and hopelessly geeky... mmmmmm... yes, I think that idea will do nicely...

[treeflamingo.livejournal.com]

Oh goodness, no. Speedsubs are notoriously heinous. I'll always wait for a decent translation rather than watch something undecipherable and quick. Remember boys, women don't mind the wait if it's good.

Also... [gg] totally won me back by giving me the pictureAND!poem of Orenji-kun from their old front page.......you should go look at it............because it's pretty......................it's embedded in a thread I started up a little higher..................................
/pimping?

[renabunny42.livejournal.com]

Well I haven't been using gg any this season, I like the quality of eclipse more and gg has a bad habit of doubling up the subtitles on me (aka messing up the timing so I have multiple lines overlaying one another :/ veeery hard to read)


So er, weee either way. I dun care \o/

[ceruleanghost.livejournal.com]

I too prefer gg. I've stuck with their subs since the beginning. Well, them and Your Mom subs, which make me laugh because of their unproffessional comments. ;)

[robotlove.livejournal.com]

are you watching gg's stuff on VLC? If so then the subs unfortunately have a sad tendency to do that in that player.

gg recommends the CCCP (http://cccp-project.net/) for playback. I've used it to play all their Geass releases from season 1 ep 15 onward, and it still has yet to mess up. ^^;

I enjoy gg's releases especially since they allow me to grab my caps without needing to dload a raw xD

[robotlove.livejournal.com]

Sometimes fanbase/fandom gets scary even on LJ. I'm just glad I haven't come across anything like that for Code Geass (here on LJ anyway) yet. Otherwise, I hardly take to wandering anywhere else, though from what it looks like, I'm glad I don't!

[rawrrdoll.livejournal.com]

Same here, I'm only download R1 because they were the only one doing code geass..but in R2 I began watchin' with Eclipse fansubs :D I don't know..but I prefer Eclipse 100% their filezes are gureitoo..

[rawrrdoll.livejournal.com]

Yeah I remember the old gg (:
