I would say Twilight except I actually spent most of the movie sniggering in amusement so in a way it provided me with a lot of entertainment and perhaps wasn't, therefore, the worst movie since movies are by convention a form of entertainment.............................?
Anyway, after three full days, finally got the Chinese subs for YamaNade. I didn't realise that the one I watched on Tudou was the TVBT subs until I downloaded the TVBT subs and was like "hey the translation is exactly the same!"
Thanks to the Chinese government's sudden enthusiasm in "cracking down on copyrighted material", most of the Chinese bittorrent sites either shut down, went underground or are frantically changing IPs to avoid detection. The real reason is probably because BT makes it harder to trace the sharers and to completely eradicate the files, hence a lot of politically sensitive material are also shared on BT.
As soon as the order came out, TVBT closed public access to its subbing forum, and the other major Japanese drama subber, SUBPIG, began to provide backup addresses. SUBPIG's two original addresses were banned in the last month, so it's now serving from www.subpig.net. Whether it's as a result of the ban or because of a sense of complacency now that most of its rivals have gone underground, SUBPIG's releases have been a lot slower lately.
The happy thing is, both these groups are also on GoGoBox, a Taiwanese derivative of the Korean downloading client Clubbox. So even though TVBT has restricted its account registrations and you can't view its subbing forum, they're still hosting their releases on GGbox. The uploads to GGbox tend to be a day later than BT and the download speed limited to about 35kbs (although I've rarely been able to get above 20kbs), but on the other hand, the download speed stays reliably constant and isn't dependent on the number of seeds.
Of course, people are still uploading the releases of both groups onto streaming sites like Tudou, so if you're happy to wait an extra day after the BT releases, the streaming files are usually available by then.
So...after rewatching YamaNade with subs...I have to conclude it's funnier than without subs Orz <-- listening skills FAIL
But Sunako seems to be a lot more submissive? One of the funny parts in the manga was how Sunako and Kyouhei would always have a catfight over every silly little thing and were competitive about incredibly childish things. I hope they don't cut that bit out =0= The thing I felt from the Kyouhei/Sunako relationship in the manga was that there wasn't much romantic chemistry, but there was a lot of camaraderie, which would be lost if they stopped at the similarity in their complexes about their own appearance. It would also, hopefully, negate Kame's negative onscreen chemistry with girls >_>;
First episode rating was supposedly 12.1, which is very much average for the time slot.
