About
Hello, we are Commie, a group of folks who like to fansub in our spare time. This is the page where we tell you how awesome we are.
Our primary purpose is to provide the best translated English subtitles to fans of the anime community, while remaining within the limits of manageable video and audio quality and file size. In such a daring pursuit, we found that certain compromises and priorities had to be made, chief among them legibility, comprehension and flow over more literal interpretations, the adoption of newer technologies for more efficient file sizes, and the unfortunate-but true fact that the majority of our viewers are speakers of American English.
We seek to provide these translations in as timely a manner as possible, though never discounting human and mechanical limitations. Also, as forward-thinkers, we also seek to promote the very active field of video playback development, and thus will always seek to utilize the cutting-edge technologies of the encoding community.
Though unfortunate, we realize this does incur a cost; a small but very vocal proportion of our viewers do not agree with our approach to language, nor our utilization of avant-garde technologies. Loathe as we are to possibly alienating our loyal friends in the community, we have come to two very simple conclusions: to the former, we suggest seeking out alternative translation efforts; the latter, we suspect that the private sector of anime viewership is more than capable and willing to accommodate you.
Getting our releases:
Our releases are indexed on TokyoToshokan, and hosted on NyaaTorrents. Plus, we have XDCC bots in our IRC channel. If you can’t find something on one of those, come tell us and we’ll get it to you.
Notice to international subbers: do whatever you want with our scripts and/or releases. We’re not able or willing to stop you. We only ask that you don’t make trouble for us.
Hello Commie,
I would like to thank you for your great work. BUT could you please stop that swag-shit with the titles? I find it neither funny nor entertaining.
negative
We’re not trying to entertain you. We are entertaining ourselves.
I like them. Please continue making hilarious versions of titles.
your reasoning is shit like your subs. if your entertaining yourself, then stop uploading. what a low iq you have moron!
don’t cut yourself on that edge buddy

How about making a “Girls und Panzer” theme? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2SJjnyTojo
Someone, listen to this guy!
still waiting http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4003xkcTJmI
easier to write something (thinking “Commies and boobs”) on a stolen pic myself.
Hi, Can you please sub Space Brothers Movie in English? Thanks!
we are going to
Cool!
So, do you have any idea on when are you gonna finish subbing it? Can’t wait for it to be done.
nope
Eh? Ok, Hoping it will be done soon. Thanks for the reply.
Just swung on by, been awhile. Nice to see you guys are still fine, gentlemanly assholes. Carry on good sirs!!!!
keep up the good work i am watching you…
Sorry, sent a message to Twitter before finding this…
Where would I go to see if Boku Wa Tomodachi Sukunai NEXT is still being subbed or has been abandoned?
nothing is dropped
if it was, you’d see a blog post about it
Cheers, good to know.
Hey Commie is there anyway you guys would ever pick up Gintama it would be nice if there was a reliable subber for that sometimes Horrible is finicky and you guys are pretty epic thanks :D
no
We mostly use Horrible subs anyway. And we have no interest in picking up a 200+ episode show.
Thanks a lot!!! ^^*
Hello Commie good work on Yahari but please stop using slang such as >’totes
It is slightly annoying and often makes me regret picking what would otherwise be the superior choice.
So you’d rather we didn’t sub it like how they would actually talk in English and instead use some accepted level of English that’s completely unrealistic but everyone is used to because bad subs have been using it for years?
I’d rather you keep the translations as accurate as possible, without making a girl sound like some scene kid
but that is how she talks
Thank you so much for your work! :D
I couldn’t start my day any better than the new episode of Shingeki no Kyojin! x
Just wondering if Commie will be subbing the Steins;Gate movie once a decent quality source version becomes available?
it’s possible
why do u guys ban people on the IRC for the stupidest reasons?
its like you don’t care about your fans at all.
with the way you treat people awaiting your new subs, its sickening to see you guys ban someone for a function on your IRC that you guys installed yourselves.
its like you guys take this like its a joke, and from what I see of how others have rated your subs, im considering after OreImo2, I might just go to another sub site.
I assume you’re that silver faggot that came in and acted like an obnoxious twat and proceeded to ban evade for the next two hours.
Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.
ban evade?
wait, you are telling me I got banned for actually asking when a sub would come out? REALLY?
and by the feature you guys installed I meant the slap feature… derp
yes, because no one can answer that question and we get it 500 times a day
spamming the channel with arabic certainly didn’t help
I didn’t spam anything with Arabic
you must be confused with someone else
>and by the feature you guys installed I meant the slap feature… derp
how does this have anything to do with us
Thanks you Commie for subbing those awesome animes like SAO or Toradora!! I really enjoy and love your high quality subs. Typesetting them so that they look nearly exactly just like the jap ones… w-o-w!!! Thanks a lot!!!^^
I’ve watched a lot of anime for someone who knows very little about different sub groups. Used to being spoon fed good anime and good subbers.
I feel pretty lucky stumbling across you guys and the awesome effort you put into your releases.
You guys freaking rule!
Too bad the shows themselves suck.
I keep hearing commie sucks.
why do you guys suck?
commie an shit
always will be
