ray=out

Rayout (stylised as ray=out) is a non-profit independent Japanese and Chinese animation + comics translation and subtitle provider.

ray=out was founded in Bergen, Norway by former AnimeNfo Radio owner and administrator, Cristopher B. (Doff), friend Andreas O. (Ryoma-kun), and two Americans, Tanbir A. (regged) and Alben C. (YinYanX) as a subtitling group for the Capeta anime. A year after the founding, the leadership and management of ray=out was passed onto current leader, Saad S. (alchemist11), who has since expanded the small-scale group into a training and professional subtitling service of Japanese entertainment.

Translators that have been trained by or worked for ray=out have gone on to work professionally in the education, translation and gaming community for companies such as Sony Computer Entertainment, DeNA, Pole To Win as well as adult teaching positions in Japan or start their own local contract-based businesses.
