Lojbanic subbing

[Nathaniel Krause <nathanielkrause@yahoo.com>]

As a tangential issue, I wonder what would be involved in creating a Lojban-subtitles versions of various popular anime. People have certainly made plenty of fansubs into English. It just occured to me that anime fandom is much more used to the idea of scrounging DIY subtitle jobs off the internet when they want to watch a movie, whereas the consumers of most other kinds of movies would probably never think of that. Heck, there must be no small number of anime fans out there whose main language is neither Japanese nor English, and who would find learning Lojban an easier way to enjoy anime than Japanese or English (of course, the same would be true of most other constructed languages as well). Also of course, having a bunch of people who don't know much English interested in Lojban doesn't do us that much good now, since we have limited non-English teaching materials available.

At any rate, any Lojban subtitling where the audible language is not English gives
 Lojbanists a nice opportunity to challenge themselves with some English-free entertainment.
