Something I've noticed in a number of the most recent episodes is nasty interlacing. Unfortunately, it looks like the video has been resized at some point, which means the interlacing can't be removed. Is this a problem up the pipe from the translating team?

The person who is the only available source for most of season 15 is pretty awful. Someone else started encoding better versions of things toward the end of the season so those episodes and season 16 look pretty good. Plus we're talking with someone about the possibility of even better encodes than we have.

Yes, more Arino and Kirby! I can't wait for this one to finish downloading!zari-gani posted:"Smart" means skinny. "Mansion" means apartment....Japan uses "high/low tension" to mean "high/low energy." I remember reading somewhere that calling a girl sweet or the Japanese equivalent of sweet would have a wildly different connotation in Japan, but I can't remember what it was or where I read it. ...please tell me it wasn't this thread and I'm just suffering from dementia.

Dream Course episode is awesome so far, but why is hole 6-7 repeatedly referenced as 6-8? EDIT: nvm, might of been thinking too hard and they were just referencing the next hole. 2l2q fucked around with this message at 01:42 on Sep 10, 2012 |

Kirby Dreamcourse Episode Thank you very much Abe, for that final shot suggestion. Caught myself yelling at the screen again. This show has that effect on me. No other show has ever done this.

The past couple videos have been amazing. Thank you guys again for your awesome work.  I loved Kirby's Dream Course even though I was (and probably still am) absolutely horrible at it. It's too bad the JP version didn't have multiplayer, because it would've been amazing if they did that for the end (similar to Street Fighter 2 and Bomberman), although that's mostly nostalgia speaking since my brother and I used to play the gently caress out of multiplayer Kirby's Dream Course. Edit: Did the JP version have multiplayer? I thought I read that it didn't, but now that I look again, I find no mention of it being cut. Edit 2: The JP version did actually have a cutscene that explained the story, which was cut from the other versions. Obeast fucked around with this message at 08:01 on Sep 10, 2012 |

According to the new years special, Watanabe and Arino talked for over an hour when she visited but the producer decided to cut everything but what we saw.Erwin Tuwonwon posted:I remember reading somewhere that calling a girl sweet or the Japanese equivalent of sweet would have a wildly different connotation in Japan, but I can't remember what it was or where I read it.

And for something not related to the topic, today is Gunpei Yokoi's birthday, so fire up your Gameboys, or if you're Kibe, probably a WonderSwan.

Reminds me of the terrible Super Robot Wars 4 fan-translation. The grunt soldiers go "SWEET!" when they attack because the translator didn't know that and the tone is all wrong as a result. They also go "UWA!" when they are hit so I guess they're being piloted by clone Arinos.

Is it just me or does it seem like Arino and Watanabe are really good friends? Every time she shows up during the tamage segments, they seem to have a lot of fun together and I always get the feeling that he really enjoys hanging out with her, in spite of any nasty jokes about her weight. I don't want to start/contribute to any derails about Watanabe (we've had more than enough of those) I just wonder if I'm seeing more of a friendship than there really is. Maybe I just really like Watanabe, she's just so good natured and cheerful.

Also, she shows up a good portion on the arcade trips when she was actually employed by GCCX. They're really just kind of friends in hanging out, and got that comedy routine going on with arino slinging insults every now and then.

I don't think there's enough to suggest he's "really good friends" with any of them (or at least how I'd define that), but whew, I was beginning to think I was the only one that sees her laugh.

So I've been reading The Hunchback of Notre Dame and oh god I'm like 200 pages in, and maybe 50 pages worth of stuff has happened. The rest is Victor Hugo raving on about his enormous boner for achitecture. Anyway, I bring it up because this edition's translation reminds me of TV Nihon. On like every page there's something that has been left in the original French, with the English translation after it in brackets. I'm not even talking about names and titles and mottos and quotes, I mean just regular terms and concepts. Sometimes they don't even bother translating it and just leave that poo poo there IN FRENCH so you have to guess. It's so annoying. Just write the goddamn translation into the narrative and stop jarring me out of the loving story. I know that there's not always a 100% exact English equivalent, but god loving dammit if you really cannot incorporate the intended meaning into English somehow, then your deplorable lack of imagination and inituation should be keeping you the hell out of fiction. The entire thing just smacks of "Hey guys I'm way the gently caress more learned than you, and no one could possibly experience the PURITY of Hugo's intended meaning without seeing the phrase written here in a language you can't read because if you could you wouldn't be reading the loving English translation". I appreciate ZG's efforts a LOT more now. I don't really watch a lot of anime so I haven't seen many dreadful fansubs, and didn't really 'get' all the rage at TVN. But apparently classical literature/language professors are like the weeaboos of academia. Jerks.

How big is Fuji TV? 'Cause you gotta reckon that getting Arino's picture on the Yamanote line had to be pretty expensive.

Hugo really loved the sound of his own voice. Hakkesshu posted:Speaking of which, exactly how popular is GCCX in Japan, anyway? How big is Fuji TV? 'Cause you gotta reckon that getting Arino's picture on the Yamanote line had to be pretty expensive. Well, we know that it's the most popular show on that channel. I think it's at about the level of a minor cable channel success like Good Eats or Mythbusters in the US (to stick to nerdy shows). It's nowhere near as big as Top Gear despite the thread title.

Yeah, I've talked to a couple of people who have studied Japanese and are pretty knowledgeable about the country (one even lived in the Kansai region for a while), and neither of them knew about the show before I told them about it. It's a pretty popular TV show, but it's not quite a cultural-revolution kind of thing.
