Fansub Ebooks was a very silly Twitter bot and associated website for tweeting random lines from anime fansub scripts.

It was conceived in the dark winter months of 2012. It was discontinued on 28 August 2017 after almost 5 years of service.

The Twitter bot was the main interaction point for the project and updated every half an hour (give or take a few seconds).

The associated Fansub Ebooks website allowed visitors to vote on which lines they wanted to see tweeted next as well as view the full library of out-of-context nonsense.

Originally a Symfony 2.1 project, the last version was based on Symfony 2.7 for both automated tweeting and the website. The database was originally MySQL but was converted to Postgres.

If you want to help with the development of Fansub Ebooks (and I can't imagine why you would), getting set up should be fairly straightforward:

1. Clone the current repository with git
2. Download and install Vagrant if you haven't already
3. Grab the Vagrant hostmanager plugin and install it
4. Run vagrant up from the main repo directory
5. Wait for the development virtual machine to be provisioned
6. Visit http://fansubebooks.chaostangent.local/app_dev.php/ and develop!

If you want to see a particular anime series in the pool of lines, you can suggest one.

If you're a fansub group or just interested in helping grow the library of available lines you can contribute scripts.

Also, if you have the much maligned script from AnimeJunkies Ghost in the Shell Standalone Complex episodes, drop what you're doing and talk to me.
