Bad Qualities

 * 2) Frequent Korean profanity.
 * 3) * Jjaltoon Studio reduced the amount of curses later on.
 * 4) Some of their videos are really lame, and some are even mean-spirited.
 * 5) Ear rapes, especially when the characters are very angry.
 * 6) Excessive use of radial blur whenever a character screams.
 * 7) Subtitles aren't often proof-read (especially English), leading to unnoticeable grammatical errors.
 * 8) * To top it off, the translations, despite fitting the context, are pretty weird. It feels like somebody coined new terms and just slapped them on the subtitles.
 * 9) * The citations in the subtitles are helpful for most of the time. However, some are ridiculously redundant.
 * 10) The voice acting starts to become very mediocre in recent videos.
