Man 2006/07 was the time I started getting into the OP anime, every afternoon on TV, with Jaya - Enies Lobby, good times
I've heard back then (maybe not in 2007 but even earlier) you had to have the Japanese raws next to you, and the fan translators would only translate the different pages as a text document, so you had to read that text and look at the raw images together to understand anything. I wonder if that's true or just a rumor I've heard
