I don't know where you're coming from, but this geek here loves animé, and I'm married to someone who likes it too, and I work two jobs, and volunteer at a local University, as well as assist two animé clubs.
I also have my drilled-AOL-CDs Mobile in my office, so I know I have a life, and I'm pretty much happy about it.
This is my first post in here, but spying this subject from a post in AnimeNewsService.com got me over here to share a little something that may spark interest.
Anyways, I've been volunteering work for the last couple weeks at Eastern KY University (Richmond, KY), running an international student lab class "English Translation Made Real" where I conduct Animé translations from Japanese->English with the help of several Japanese Exchange students and a few Japanese class students.
It may sound fun, but it is a lot of work, but the benefits are two-way. The students get participation credit for taking the course, and I get translations to the latest animé and manga that I can drum up for translating.
Because of the classroom environment, the translating process is more laborious, as many students are honing their translation skills, but the care taken seems to bring about more accurate and technically correct translating scripts.
Anyways, that's my 8 yen. If anyone reading this knows a group or a club in need of translation help, try out what I did, and get a local school to help sponsor a translation class.;2)
