well the whole point of coloring the fonts is to first give contrast and second allow the style to seamlessly blend into the animation so it is not "in your face." Many newer, less experienced stylers hope to get noticed so they make their styles very noticeable "please look at me" type coloring. I think boring is better. You are watching the anime for the anime not to look at fonts.

Well, Chihiro is the eyepatch girl in ef - a tale of memories, if you need references. XD
Chihiro is a fansub group. We're kind of plastered over the main page of Animesuki since we release a lot. XD. But, we don't exactly have the best styling, which is why we're being mentioned in here.

So if an Anime is based on an old English kingdom, you should use Old English/blackletter font regardless of its readability? And, if the Anime is filled with girls and love, you should use pink/magenta regardless of the color hurting your eyes?

Those styles are trash either way imo. The bottom on of the first type is nearly ok color wise, but still garbage as it is not easy to ready since the border is way too thin for the width of the type (boldness), nothing is in balance, the font of the first on is trash and the styler should punch their self in the face for using it. The second ones colors make me sick, but the font is fine as a font goes. |

I hope it's not considered thread necromancy... -_-;
From Aegisub help thread: Quote:
Considering that I usually do triple subs (kanji + romaji + english) for Jpop PVs (not anime), what would you recommend for: - fonts (all three should ideally look same or at least similar, right?) - colors (font+border, on white background and on black one) For example, here's a screenshot of a PV I'm thinking of doing (Namida ga Tomaranai Houkago by Morning Musume). As I see it, romaji goes into the white area at the top, english - at the bottom, and kanji will be on the right, vertical. What's the better font/color combination for that? |
