1. Personality

a. Male, Japanese. I'm laid back(lazy? ), friendly, like to joke around and be random, and helpful.

b. E-peen/internet fame and senseless drama.

c. Getting to know and hangout with like-minded people, working on anime that I enjoy, and giving back to the fansub community.

d. For the most part, tenkenX6. I used another nickname when I first started fansubbing, but I can't remember it.


2. Mission

a. It seemed interesting and I wanted to give it a shot.

b. Because I enjoy it.

c. I think I first started watching fansubs back in 2000 or 2001.

d. I started fansubbing in the summer of 2006.

e. A fan-made, fan-translated releases of anime for no profit for the rest of the anime fans in the world to enjoy.


3. Groups

a. Live-eviL(Translator, Translation Checker), Saizen(Translation Checker, Translator[occasionally]), AnimeYoshi(Translation Checker, Translator[occasionally]), m.3.3.w(Translation Checker, Translator[occasionally]), and Soldado(Translation Checker[occasionally]).

b. Live-eviL, Saizen, AnimeYoshi, m.3.3.w, and Soldado.

c. Live-eviL, Saizen, AnimeYoshi, m.3.3.w, Soldado, Freelance Fansubs, ANBU, Aquastar Anime, Formula Sub, Animehaven, and probably a few other groups that I can't remember(sorry).

d. It depends.


4. Projects

a. Older and underrated shows, like Leiji Matsumoto's works and basically anything I like and can enjoy.

b. For the most part, no. But if it's to help out someone I really like and for a good cause, yes.


6. Jobs

a. Translator and Translation Checker.

b. Translator, Translation Checker, and QC.

c. Translator and Translation Checker.

d. As a translator, I take the original Japanese dialog and (hopefully)translate it into good/understandable English for all the anime fans out there to enjoy. As a translation checker, I take a look at and modify another translator's work to make the English translations sound as good as they can be. I sometimes will offer advice to the other translator's and do "spot translations" when needed.


7. Other Plans

a. Whenever I get bored of it and/or I don't have enough spare time to justify continuing.

b. Uh... not really, unless I'm asked to do so or think a certain person or persons deserve it, I suppose.

c. Maybe. I'll be more sure of if I want to or not when I actually retire from fansubbing.

I'm a Swedish male. I like hanging out with friends, play video games, watch anime, and work out, either by various sports or the gym.

The ungrateful leechers.

Hanging out with nice people and the satisfaction you get from finishing a series.

What are your aliases or nicknames you've used in fansubbing?
Juggen, Juggaz

Mission

Why do you fansub in the first place?
I wanted to give back to the community and to help releasing subs in a high quality manner for my own collection.

Why do you continue fansubbing?
I still enjoy anime and I've become a leader type, so people depend on me and I don't wanna abandon them. ^^
I also like to do oldies that nobody else are touching.

When do you start fansubbing?
In early 2008.

List your current group(s) and your position/job in that group(s)
Saizen: Timer, QC, Typesetter, Leader, Karaoke Artist

Doing a bit of freelancing for Orphan and have done in the past for groups like AnimeYuki and DGz.

Sports, Comedy

I felt like helping out.

Founder: Only if you start at least one group
Never founded anything, but have become one of the leaders of Saizen and was one of the starting members in AniSubs.
I also run Juggaz which polishes R1 subs more or less.

Do tell why do you start a group?
Wanted to get into fansubbing.

If the group collapsed or is going to collapse, explain what was the reason of its collapse.
People left for the real life.

If the group is still functioning but is stalling, explain what was the cause of this
Some people lose motivation as they grow older, me included, and might prioritize other things in life.

If the group is functioning very well, do tell about why it is successful and what did you do to make it successful.
I mean, we still function very well, lots of releases every year, but certain shows are stalling. =) The trick is to find people that are motivated and keen on doing their job in a somewhat timely manner, or the stalling will turn into an evil circle.

Typesetting, QC

Make a definition of the job you can do or your current fansubbing job briefly.
Anal timer, thorough QC, aegi-typesetter, laid-back leader, beginner kara-artist

Other Plans

Probably when I stop watching anime or I am too busy in real life to continue without stalling.

Are you planning to train other novice fansubbers so that they'll be just as good as you are?
I have trained a few, but it's too time consuming and I don't find it very motivating anymore.

Are you going to document everything what you did so that other people can get to know how to fansub better?
Probably not, maybe my future kids. lol

    Sites using free fansubs/scanlations for profit and fansub politics. When groups sabotage/hinder each other. Not that we've ever been involved in those though.

    It's voluntary. Also an opportunity to put the Japanese I learned to good(?) use.

    No. This is a very informal thing to me. Making guides and documentation makes it feel like actual work.
