Incidentally, who decided on all the translations? They seem to be consistent between the manga and anime, but some of them seem to have different meanings, like rendering "Akatsuki," which last I checked meant "red moon" (it's been a long time since I took a Japanese class so please don't yell at me) as "Dawner," which gets the sense of a hero across but doesn't seem to mean the same thing.

Terrible Opinions posted:Given that we have the internet let's just look up a Japanese to English dictionary. Okay, so it is in fact a different kanji situation. I guess "Donner" is almost a normal name, and this is basically a variant spelling of that. I wonder what happens in the Unified Human Kingdom when they run out of time-of-day-themed names.

I caught up with the manga and got to see Quilladillo's parents — turns out he's secretly part of the Moomin tribe. I don't know why he'd keep his wonderful heritage a secret!

The dubbed version of Dawner is hilarious and I'm not sure if they added that or if the subs just didn't convey it.

Also I just noticed that the captions on dubbed stuff have proper transparency! Why don't the subtitles look like that!

Electric Phantasm posted:They gave him a really dweeby voice and it fits so well. The queen's voice really does work, particularly because they added jokes when she gives a quest the gold star, which is good because I don't think those were going to land in English. I don't know if "dweeby" is quite the right word for Dawner. He's a weird character because he's basically the same person as the princess, he just has his tropes and goals switched, and he has the one flaw of the terrible sense of direction so that he's still largely unstoppable but takes a long time to get anywhere. Most of the stuff he does that comes off as weird is exactly the same as the stuff the princess does; people just don't think it's cute when he does it. My favorite joke in the whole manga is the one where Dawner is yelling at the crystal ball recording of the princess, saying "I swear, Princess Syalis, that I'll save you no matter what it takes," and Kisho says "...you know she's not actually in there, right?" and Dawner just looks at him with this mounting sense of horror and thinks "...does he think I don't know that?"

Upon serious and detailed consideration, Poseidon is the best character and the chapters focused on him are the best chapters.

This manga got a lot gayer in the last two years, and I, for one, approve.

Is the Demon Cleric failing to respect Somnus' pronouns? In other news, I think most of the running gags are funny, but the whole thing where the Demon Cleric has an "inappropriate" crush on the princess falls really flat. It's not even really that gross or anything; it just feels arbitrary because everybody is obsessed with the princess and his obsession is only really inappropriate because he's decided that it is and acts ashamed.

Coaaab posted:it also really helps that there's no more pretense for the princess being most socially intelligent character whenever she has to navigate these complex relationship charts. True, although it feels like a bit of a swerve from her original presentation where she seemed deeply neuroatypical and had problems remembering people's names or even recognizing them if they were wearing a different outfit.
