What the ******** do you think you're doing putting karaoke lyrics in to the opening theme, and doing it in such a way so that's impossible to sing along to.
You're wasting your own time, timing all these fancy little font effects, and for absolutely d**k all.
The point of karaoke lyrics is to sing along. Now, most fansubbers put each verse exactly as it starts.
NO, but since almost all fansub groups do it I'll let it slide. I have only ever seen one fansub group add the next verse a few seconds before it starts. This is good, because then you can read the first few words, BEFORE you're supposed to sing them, and NOT after.

BAD BAD BAD
- syllable by syllable. Oh my ******** god. This is completely impossible. I'm watching Solty Rei. The song is catchy. The song is fast. The karaoke lyrics are showing up syllable by syllable, which makes the entire thing absolutely impossible to sing along to. Every single peice of word is showing up AFTER it's supposed to be sung. Whoever thought of that is ******** retarded.

-Crappy font/color choice. Now, I know you wanna think you're good at design, and not ruining the look and mood of the show, but if you choose a font and color that matches too well, it gets hard to read.
And wha's up with picking wacky fonts where more than half the letters of the alphabet look like the other half?
Chrono Crusade's ending theme: pale, dark green on a black background, with shiny ripples and line drawings. The words are hard enough to read on the back background, but when the ripples of pictures actually pass under them, it's impossible.
Kyou Kara Mou: 2nd ending... Your Zs, Ss, and Rs, all look almost exactly the same. This is confusing and annoying.
