There's at least three groups that are taking the Æsir Subs and editing them, two to make them more literal (in questionable ways, as neither really speaks Japanese), and one to turn the looseness to 11. Also there's a dude doing basically TVN level dry subs as of this week, though his accuracy is at least acceptable rather than completely offensive, so people who just really hate their English subtitles reading as if they were written by a native English speaker have an option.

Basically people are sperging about the name change of gridon real hard and went as far as to "redo" entire episodes because of it. The subs are terrible as expected.

I hate my subs putting jokes that weren't there in the first place (Pulperize? Seriously? It's not even funny) and ruining actually meaningful connections just to preserve a joke that wouldn't have made any difference in the series (the whole Sengoku Driver/Ryoma thing). I'm not even touching Ornac since part of me knows it was the best thing to do there, but another part hates the idea of changing the names of characters, and neither is going to agree with each other.

(Nonetheless the Aesir subs aren't bad at all, mind you, they're a big step forward from TVN, and I fully recommend them if you like their style of translation)

I also didn't find NDA nearly as "dry" as you make it look. If anything, I'd say that the one ep they subbed was quite good. Then again, I also don't find TVNihon dry, so I guess I'm just accustomed.

Pretty sure the phrase used by the belt is a pun that doesn't translate 1-1 so either you throw awkward and try to 1-1 or make a pun that works in English and means something close to the original pun.

It's not putting jokes in that weren't there, it's trying to translate jokes that don't work unless you know Japanese in a way that holds similar or contextual meaning and aren't nonsensical. For example: All of Nossan's Dad jokes, Cancer Zodiart's entire existence (RIP).

Is it? I just hear it say "funsai destroy", which literally translates to "pulverize destroy". I can't find any sources saying there's any sort of joke there.

We both stand by "pulperize." I guess I'm vaguely sorry you didn't appreciate it. Many people did.

Do you not think that "Sengoku" sounding like Warring States is meaningful? How did you come to that judgment? Can you claim that it definitely isn't meaningful, and back that proposition up? More to the point, how do you know Ryoma's name is meaningful, or at least more meaningful than the Warring States flavor? And if it is, how has Aesir has "ruined" it when it hasn't even been said as of episode 8?

That's fine. I just don't see the point in adding a joke that wasn't there in the first place (nor think is right, actually, but to each their own).

You seem to misunderstand. Of course the Sengoku period thing is absolutely important, the fact that it's written with XTREEEME (oh god Double flashbacks), which you kept with the umlaut, is not. It's just a fun joke.

On the other hand, that it's named the same as Ryoma, who made it, is definitely important. You can't really say it's not.

I went overboard on the "ruined" thing, and I'm sorry for that. I do thank you for showing me how bad TV Nihon's subs were, and I'm sticking with your subs because, the things I've pointed out aside, they're still pretty good and you've done a great job with this! I just wanted to voice the things I did not agree with, and Aesir's comment section is...not the best place for it (because it's full of people that get incredibly aggresive for a little kid's show. Did anyone compare you guys to Hitler yet?). This is probably a really bad place for it too, but since I knew you had an account here, I hoped you'd read it. I just came across as far more aggresive than I should have, so once again, I'm sorry.

We talked about ringtones before, I was wondering if there is one with the wizard transformation sfx out there? The one after "Driver On" but before the actual transformation sequence itself. I like it for some reason, and would enjoy confusing and irritating my friends and loved ones with it.

Of course he will, he's God. :allears: But seriously, Enter needs the chance to be full fabulous with the Deboss. I know he's supposed to be gone and all, so he might get mooked the way Bladerun didn't do much in the Goseiger VS Gokaiger movie, but it would be a waste of such a great villain if he didn't get to. Plus, Jin's supposed to be coming back for this one too, isn't he? Can't bring back the Busters without the two best characters. And J, of course.
