Translation: I'm a stupid idiot who "prefers" Fansubs over official subs, and I rather get it for free. Yes, I am cheap!

Sounds like he won't pay for something that has a quality dub and the fact that it's god damn right this time!

He prefers the fansubs of Kai over the Daimao subs?

Aren't the fansubs for Kai all ridculously bad?

Kids today indeed... remember buying anime VHS tapes...? Those were the daaaaays... We have good quality, cheap DVDs now, but this generation of young anime fans get upset over the dumbest shit.

Call him out on his cheapness, and if he wants to hurt the industry, let him!

I remember some idiots saying they won't ever buy anime DVDs because they're all dub only and because fansubs apparently say something like "Don't rent or buy".

Aren't they specifically talking about their fansub of the show?

I heard the Kai Fansubs were just copied from FUNi subs of Z.

Well, it's not uncommon for there to be multiple fansubs of certain anime. Still, I would LOVE to hear the justification for copying the company's official subs and then putting it out for free.
A "rather haggard" translation of a line from Future Gohan in DBZ, provided to FUNimation by Toei:
"To think of fighting that is this fun...so, it was pleasant fight, as many as, therefore is a feeling which is good the fight where."

Actually, the ones from Adamant's group are pretty good.

I said in return, "That's okay though, they still have the subbed version." Their response was, "The subtitles clearly suck and are not good at all. They say Dragon Ball Z Kai when it's just Dragon Ball Kai. I will not support bad subs, I'm sticking to fansubs."

Am I the only one who thought this train of thought was stupid, or am I crazy?
This person remeinds me of back when One Piece was being first released by Funimation, on discussion of it, weird foreigner made a big complaint over the logo being a little different and not having the Japanese text over the title. I mentioned many series being released without the main Japanese title on covers, but he/she just said, "I don't buy r1 dvds. This is the first thing I'm importing".

Though now that I think of it, what do you guys think people like this would've reacted had they put the Shonen Jump logo over Kai's title?

...but the Funi One Piece DVDs have the original opening with the original logo available too.

Not always. Whoever is in charge of the DVDs tends to toss on the clean opening...with the FUNi logo.
