No one is going to listen to your podcast with attitude like that. I for sure WILL not pass the word.

This is the podcast of UUpodcast, not TV's Frink or Jetrell Fo. UUpodcast didn't catch an attitude with you.

 Thanks.

I have no idea what exactly happened here, but sorry to be the one to host all of this?

This kind of thing happens all the time here, actually, so don't worry about it.  One guy who never gets out of this particular subforum does not a forum make.

 Yes, and your a saint... Really? 

The phrase I've heard was "cop an attitude".

Keeping in mind that, being trans (I don't get into it much), I have a voice that is incredibly jarring if you've seen my avatar, or if you see the handle I use here, but I've had a minor hand in preservations for a while, I could probably do something.

(By pitching my voice up 30-40% it will probably sound less like there's something wrong with me.) ;)

Molly, I'd personally like UUpodcast to interview you on your anime fan translation work. I think you once said you worked on Detective Conan, which I love by the way! I'd like to know more about your work on that, and fan subbing as a whole. You seem to know a great deal about it. :)

Yes, I still work on Detective Conan.

Good anime, wish it had done better in the States.

Absolutely! Sorry to be so off-topic, but I just wanted to say a heartfelt "thank you!" for all of your efforts, Molly! :) I'm very glad dedicated Case Closed fans like you exist, as the show, films and new DS game are all a real treasure.  

Thanks again! :)

(Sorry for the derailment, UUpodcast.)

Nah. That's actually why they couldn't use "Conan" in the title in the US (they call it "Case Closed" here).

Please tell me Detective Conan involves Conan the Barbarian solving crimes.

Episode 1: The Creepy Case of the Cthulhu Frink Crossover.

 I would love to talk to you about that. I actually am fascinated by fan subbing culture but it somehow just totally slipped my mind until now. 

And as I tell everyone, your voice is going to be totally fine. If you're seriously not comfortable with your voice though we can work with filters during or after to make it something that you are comfortable with. You can email me at rob@undressingunderground.com

The problem with fansubs is that they are more likely to add unnecessary swearing. One anime I saw had fansubs made shortly after japanese airings had lots of swearing. When official subs were made a decade later, most of the profanity went away.

Depends. Usually the excess of profanity is to cover for incompetence.

I actually avoid profanity in my translations and edits, although I did put in a couple infamous bombs ("Palkia, you SOB" in Pokémon movie 10, which I edited; and an S-bomb in Detective Conan episode 345 when the main character finds his complex scheme destroyed and is now in the hands of the enemy). There's a time and a place for everything, and very rarely should there be profanity in anime subtitles.

Japanese doesn't really have the concept of profanity in the same way English does.

In most cases, profanity in fansubs can be placed in two categories: "fifteening" (trying to make something cater to a more adult audience; DBZ for example targets an older demographic in the anglosphere than it does in Japan) and "compensation" (the translator's trying to cover up something, like the fact he doesn't actually understand Japanese very well).

OP, I e-mailed you as requested - I may have fallen into your spamtrap as is typical of my mail.

Hey Rob, Mike Verta might make for a good preservationist interview.

(Also google him)

 Hey, thanks. I think I'm done with preservation stuff for a while though... unless I run out of guests, in which case sure!

i was actually back on though cause I'm gonna post on that chip tune forum you directed me to earlier.

Also, Molly's episode will be up on 9/1

I went off into hyperspace. :(

Frink: You're right, I spoke to soon. I gotta get ahold of him!

Molly: I have no idea what you're talking about haha
