Because One Stuff Isn't Enough
FAQ
Q: Can I use your subs for something?
A: Sure! We work on the projects we do for the good of the community, so please feel free to use our subs as a base for your own releases, to translate into another language, upload subtitled clips to video streaming services such as YouTube, use them in fandub projects, or whatever else you like. Credit is appreciated, though unnecessary.
Q: Will you sub (Insert project name here)?
A: Unless we were already considering it before you requested it, the answer is almost certainly no. We only work on shows and movies we collectively agree we want to do, so the only project requests we tend to take seriously are the ones that come from within our own team. It doesn’t hurt to bring a project to our attention, but just know that there’s virtually no chance we will actually do it.
Q: What is a torrent? It says “Download torrent” on Nyaa, but I just want to download the release.
A: A torrent is a file which connects your computer with others around the world who want to or have already downloaded the file(s) you want. You will need a torrent client for this. We recommend qBittorrent as a simple and reliable option. It is possible for your ISP to detect this and issue you a warning, but it is very unlikely anything will come of it. This varies by country, however, so use your better judgment when downloading torrents from anyone, not just us. If you want to be 100% safe, consider using a VPN.
Q: I can’t get any of your releases to play. What do I do?
A: There are many media players capable of playing our releases, but the only one we actively support is mpv.
Q: Are the contents of the site and Discord server safe for work?
A: The site should generally be SFW, though release pictures for shows such as Jojo may be NSFW or otherwise risqué. The Discord server is very strictly 18+, however. We disallow explicit images, but 18+ topics are allowed to be discussed.
Q: When will the next episode of (Insert series here) be released?
A: Releases for completed series don't usually follow any sort of schedule, we just release things when they're done. For ongoing shows, our release schedules are as follows:
- Pocket Monsters and One Piece: Within 24 hours of Japanese airing; recaps, specials, and other miscellanea may be skipped or subbed at a later date.
- Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Irregular, but we try to avoid letting more than a month pass between episodes.
Q: What can I do to help you guys out?
A: Although it doesn’t actually help any process, telling people about us and kind words on our Discord are always appreciated.
Q: Why Some-Stuffs and not Some-Stuff?
A: During the planning stages of our first project, our original typesetter used the name “Some Scans” as a placeholder until we could come up with a proper one. We liked it enough that we wanted to make it our actual name, but decided to make it “Some-Stuff” since we also planned to eventually fansub anime. However, the domain Some-Stuff.com was taken at the time we were creating the site, so we lazily tacked on the "s" at the end at the last minute, and the rest is history.
