How is “every anime has one season of 10 episodes running 25 minutes each” an overestimation? I’d call that an underestimation. Yeah, there are anime with much shorter runtimes, but there are also many anime with well over 100 episodes.
Not to mention, are you really expecting this random person to write an interface for their API to get exact numbers for an off the cuff online discussion?
Because dub time doesn't equate to run time. Most anime has PLENTY of no voice work, and openings and endings can be copy and pasted.
I fear more you are not aware where in the internet you are. This is basic 101 scripting work that happens every second your application notifies you your new anime got updated. Basic scripting is what our /c/ and threadiverse do for most of us who actually moved on from fashit.
Cool, so you can share the total runtime?
At 10k€, sure. Monero or?
But it’s simple basic 101 scripting, by your own words. If you expect the other user to do the work for a one off calculation instead of assumptions, I’m sure it should be trivial for you to throw something together?
It is a simple
forloop, or aWHILEif I ask Jicetus nicely. I just don't do threadiverse homework for free anymore.So, are trivially going to pay up, or do you need me to send a simple PM?
My dude, you’re missing the point. You expect them to give accurate numbers, but aren’t willing to do the same. Double standards are pretty lame.
Nah: I said the overestimation was completely wrong. I also said runtimes ≠ voice times.
But you're missing mines: How many N1 localizers are you gonna hire inorder to localize all the anime in MAL in order for you volunteers to voice act your dubs.
Honestly N1 is probably unnecessary. I think most people who've passed N2 could do a great job with most shounen stuff. It's not like they need to do it in real time.
Depends the anime. Idol anime like the Pretty series or Pretty Cure require a lot of creativity to localize from the era they are portraying. But general shows like in shounen, sure.
🤝 Exactly. And the fact we are scattered everywhere, doesn't mean we have a window to localize from 0900-1700. Tis one of the reasons I want to emigrate to Europe ASAP, so I don't have to karoshi.
