Eh... there were at least a couple of glaringly bad choices. But I can't imagine it's easy to translate comedy.

It isn't. It's maybe the shittest part of working on scripts.

Just sitting around staring at a screen thinking "how the gently caress would this ever work in english".

I love the effort that the gabdrop translator put into it, but there were some really weird overly-localized things. "Hit a homer, why don't you" comes to mind. Still, you could tell the translator cared, and it was certainly better than most comedy translations on crunchy.

They can't all be winners.

Really, most of the time if there's more than 50% winners then it's a great script.

Also the frequent shoehorning of angel/devil related phrases that weren't in the original text.

The translator was obviously trying to make it a fun translation, but maybe they were trying a bit too hard?

I'd rather trying a bit too hard then mistranslations, typos, and outright gently caress-ups like 90% of crunchy translations. Not surprising when they get paid like 80 dollars an episode tho.

Yeah. I can see how some of the impositions on the original text could be seen as a bit rude at worst, but overall GabDro had a really nice translation and I'd love more like it.

I got the feeling that past a certain point, the Nichijou translators (bless them) just gave up and said, "okay, well, here, just have an untranslatable pun, nothing we can do about it."

4-koma and gag mangas are, from what I've been told, the absolute worst. They're a super fun read, but they require the crew to wrack their minds over the jokes and puns.

E: Actually I can edit with personal experience, working on a 4koma manga with a bad TL literally made me stop working on it. It was hell. I've never just stopped working on a series cold turkey like that before, and haven't since.

Reino, a book loving college student who just got her Librarian certification and was just hired to be the librarian of a large university library. Just before graduating and entering the job of her dreams, she was killed by a massive earthquake crushing her underneath a pile of her own books.

Wishing for reincarnation in order to read ever more, where she got reincarnated to was a world with a low literacy rate and very few books, limited only to the nobility of the world. As she reincarnated as the daughter of a lowly soldier, no matter how much she wants to read there is no way there are any books around. If there are no books then what do you do? Why, you make them yourself of course. What her goal is, to become the librarian of a library! In order to live a life surrounded by books, she starts with making books.
