So the equations on the board: Actual things of gobbledygook? This looks like advanced physics or mathematics so that's past my understanding.  The ones here look a little more familiar. I think that's the equation for an ellipse on her chin.

PMush Perfect posted:I admit, when it was just Jinba Lemon, I heard it as Jinba Raimont and thought it was just weird pronunciation. I didn't know or really care what it meant, just thought it was interesting. It's funny you mention Hanamichi On Stage because that's one where I left it alone and probably the one thing I left unchanged that I got more questions about why I didn't alter it, since the translation uses "To the Stage". Which is funny because despite what I said about hearing one thing and reading another, this one just never bothered me. Caphi posted:Much of Gaim's terminology falls into this category because it's so Japanese (literally Japanese history) that you're trapped between leaving it in Japanese and leaving viewers with no idea what anything is, or putting the Wikipedia entry for jin-baori into a TL note. "Raiment" is a bad compromise intended to pass along some amount of meaning as unobtrusively as we could figure. Yeah, and like you mentioned earlier with the whole Warring/Sengoku thing getting reignited later, when it's dealt with weekly, you have a small window to just pick what you think makes sense and hope it doesn't bite you later. I've seen people throw shade about the Warring/Sengoku thing or the Go-Buster Oh/King thing with Over-Time's Go-Busters subs. It's easy to look at it now and know just what the correct option is, but that luxury isn't there for the initial release unless you happen to have access to toy scans or something at just the right time for it to matter. So when Gaim combines that aspect with "just how much do we have to explain", it's no surprise that there's no one-size-fits-all approach to handling it.

I think my favorite translation quirk was when OT translated the Go-Busters' 'Go-BusterOh' as 'Go-Buster King'... ...only for the series to later introduce a mecha called Go-Buster King, so they just called it Go-BusterOh.  The naming scheme actually worked out better that way, IMO. It fit better with the origins of the mechs and the show's theming, but still. Translation is an imperfect art, and we are lucky to live in a golden age of toku fandom with so many great teams blessing us with their work. Starting episode 25 of Ex-Aid. You guys weren't joking when you said that Kamen Rider Chronicle was literally Pokemon Go, huh? EDIT: Nico is still super annoying. I can deal with annoying characters if they actually add something to the plot, but...ugh. She's done next to nothing since her introduction. She's easily my least favorite character in the whole thing. On to episode 26. SHIN EDIT: Of loving course there would be a Gashat based on a dating sim.

Pray to the Game Master to fix your bad taste. Also Ride-Players aren't really Kamen Riders. Unconnected, goddamn do I love the Go-Busters mecha. I wish we had this level of complexity all the time instead of only in one specific season that ruined itself for Bandai due to being too good for marketing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUJ0VHcpdIg

Caphi posted:I didn't think Jinba was contentious. I feel like I wanted something like "Warcoat" or "Mantle" but there was nothing really wrong with "Raiment." A dumb thought I had when I realized what Jinba was referring to was "Lemon Garnish" to get a silly-rear end "garment" pun forward with the fruits theme, but then again I don't think about these things as hard as y'all do and that's probably a good thing.

She's just not doing anything for me.  In the twenty-seven episodes I've watched, she's done nothing save for yelling at Taiga to beat up Emu, and then following him around and just generally being annoying.Episode 27 is an attempt at doing something with her and trying to make you feel something for her, but...it's just falling flat for me. She's had no character development up to this point and really she barely has a character, other than 'mad because Emu beat her at Tekken'. Maybe she gets better from here on out, but for now, she's coming across as an unneeded and generally annoying side character.

Personally I feel the opposite and think that Go Busters has some of the worst mecha designs in the last decade or so of the franchise, at least in Toy Form(same with Shikenger and Gokaiger) Indeed at least when it comes to the Toy versions of the mecha, of the last decade or so I'd say these are the top 5; 1) Boukenger* 2) Nininger** 3) ToQger 4) Kyuranger 5) Goseiger *I'm kinda cheating by including Boukenger, but it ended in 2007 so good enough for me **indeed for Shurikenjin there's only really two complaints I have with it's design; the Dog robot might as well not exist for how little it contributes to the robot, and how the arm that the dump truck contributes has nowhere to go on any of the alternate configurations Shurikenjin has besides Drago where it stays on(one of my biggest pet peeves regarding Sentai mecha design is when a combination results in parts having nowhere to go)

Dexie posted:I've been called worse. I'm honestly in the same boat as you are. Especially when I was at the same point in the series. Nico exists purely as a character for Taiga to bounce off of/care about because he lives over at the unlicensed hospital and doesn't regularly do the same with the other characters until near the end of the series (and even then it's mostly on a screen). She largely exists for the benefit of Taiga.

I remember that was one of my biggest complaints at the time when that was still part of the show I'm something of a dance fan, I have a working knowledge of ballet and some more modern dance trends You could have some loving amazing dance fights. And NO genre is better for it than tokusatsu Might be for the best. Of the dance troupes we saw, I think maybe one of them could dance? The rest were all slow and stiff and awkward as gently caress even with the most basic of motions.

With Kouta it's just inexplicable and weird.

I think the whole dancing thing is one of many instances of Urobuchi struggling to reconcile his style and ambition with the realities of a mainline Kamen Rider series, a compromise to have a gang aspect that he could segue into the Rider War without actually implying anything about gang violence.

Urobuchi would have absolutely been more comfortable in an Amazons situation. A shorter series aimed for an older audience that's not primarily driven by toy sales.

Waffleman_ posted:Urobuchi would have absolutely been more comfortable in an Amazons situation. A shorter series aimed for an older audience that's not primarily driven by toy sales. Yeah, he did not roll gracefully with the toy punches. You've got writers that can do it especially gracefully (Kobayashi comes particularly to mind, OOO manages to make the Candroids work), there are writers who are outright disdainful (the bit in Faiz with Takumi recieving Accel by literally having it chucked at his head, bouncing off, and going "clink" on the ground is a favorite of mine) but Urobochi just seemed generally uncomfortable and awkward with it. Gaim is weirdly a show I get less fond of as time goes on because it was easy to get caught up in at the time but its rough parts keep becoming more apparent as time goes on, Yoko dying is still the worst, Kouta's pretty bland IMHO, and there's just all sorts of wasted potential or dubious bits.
