it would be pretty funny if Phos wakes up and just goes "nah"

Poor Phos. I still rewatch the anime sometimes, and early Phos was just so earnest and sweet.

gutterdaughter posted:As if that little private silence were the signal, all at once a trumpet sounds from the pavilion near the starting line: imperious, melancholy, piercing. The horses rear on their slender legs, and some of them neigh in answer. Sober-faced, the young riders stroke the horses' necks and soothe them, whispering. "Quiet, quiet, there my beauty, my hope..." They begin to form in rank along the starting line. The crowds along the racecourse are like a field of grass and flowers in the wind. The Festival of Summer has begun. Sounds like a sweet deal for the Omelans imo

BTW a group translated the marginalia. If you (like me) had a hard time recognizing or remembering some of the gems, it might help: https://mangadex.org/chapter/2e7d90de-7175-446b-8165-14798f36430e/1

I just realized I'm completely out of the loop. The last chapter I read was something like "200 years after Phos was smashed by Bort and her pieces spread over the whole planet. Kongo had collected her and she begs him to please pray and then it ended. Where is that in mangadex chapters?

This franchise put so much effort into "They" Why is Phos all of a sudden a "he"? Edit: This is completely insane. Feliday Melody fucked around with this message at 19:44 on Jun 30, 2022 |

Because the scan group did not keep it consistent. The official TL (as far as it's gotten) still uses they.

japanese doesn't have gendered pronouns so the first scanlation group (before it got an official release) fairly arbitrarily used male pronouns for the gems and most (but not all) of the scanlation groups since have kept to that, unfortunately

If anything. Gendering them as girls was always the common error.

From what I can remember, I think they used he specifically because the gems tend to get gendered as girls. That way they could kinda get that gender neutral vibe while avoiding using they because it's awkward sometimes. I guess a free scanlation group didn't want to spend the time worrying about that?
|
# ? Jul 1, 2022 06:22 |

Its cause the scanlators decided to be literal instead of localizing since a gem calling each other Nii-Chan does not mean that when they got no concept of gender in the first place. The official translation is more aware of the the intent.
|
# ? Jul 1, 2022 07:54 |
|
ah yeah it was because some of them said 'nii-chan' etc. which was the only gendered language to go on at all so not completely arbitrary but it's not a great choice to commit to it even now
|
# ? Jul 1, 2022 08:46 |
|
Would it be confusing if a character is referred to as both nii-chan and nee-chan?
|
# ? Jul 1, 2022 16:08 |
|
Being honest, it was basically an acceptable choice because there was no other direction until it started to get officially localized, where they got a direct note from Haruko Ichikawa to use they/them and keep them completely gender neutral. At that point when it was completely clear what the intent was, and the scans continue using he/him for all the gems, that's when it's clear that they're being lovely about it because they don't want to use singular they.

Having read all the released manga. I have no idea how the show is going to keep up. I love the show so far. But I feel like if it followed the manga scene for scene. Then the post moon parts would probably not make for a very good show. A long one, granted.

I wouldn't have been upset if the manga ended on "Now I understand." It's a fantastic 99-chapter punchline and made me laugh.

tbh this manga has gotten really dull It's very dramatically unsatisfying and like, not in a Oh It's a Tragedy way, but rather in that all the actual character work kind of just gets thrown out the window eventually. You can't even say it's about character work for Phos really, because what we're dealing with is basically unrecognizable as Phos in any sense.
