Here's the entire list.
I can't believe that old site is still up. It's from 1998 at the very latest, because that's when I first saw it.
I still have no idea how the Green Line Effect got its name, though.
Given that he's shitting on translators, swapping green/blue is a common fuck up in translation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue%E2%80%93green_distinction_in_language#Japanese
Maybe there was some well-known old instance where Blue Line was mistranslated? Best I can do. Or maybe "Line" just means a line of dialog.
Isn't Japanese have some swaps of blue and green? Like lights and onions?
Well, Gurren Lagann WAS a celebration of the entire giant robot genre.
Brilliant. No way this could survive on the modern net.
Says 1997-2000 at the footer with the last update in 2/21/00. A relic of the ancient days, pre-9/11 by a good deal at that. What an era...
The expiry date is coming. Soon it will be "the only thing less real than your waifu are Western translators" once our machine learning overlords take over most of that industry.
