If you're resorting to exaggeratingy point, then there's nothing left the say. It's not a matter of purity. It's just bad fan subbing.

But if you want a better example of how bad at this they are, there's the infamous time they tried to convince everyone that "eoten" was a real word.

Look at this guy, doesn't even know what an eoten is. It's a perfectly cromulent word.

i mean it technically is

anyway i'm not saying commie hasn't made mistakes or made some dumb calls, but their symph subs were generally good minus a few sticking points, and I liked their GoPri subs for the most part. And most official localizations for, uh, everything, do the accent/speech patterns thing to some degree.

Chris's speech patterns are coarse and rude most of the time.

Should they give her an obnoxious accent too?

Absolutely. I am torn between Brooklyn accent and valley girl, though.

I'm just saying the only difference between the way she talks and the way Close talks is that Close does it while wearing a stupid outfit.

i mean, there's also the tone of the shows they're in, their roles and importance to the plot, etc. localization decisions should be informed by things like that too.

edit: also yeah i'd be down for chris to sound like labrys from persona 4 arena

Precure has no short of characters with verbal gimmicks and exaggerated personalities. If this were a character who actually had something like that in his speech, then yes, I'd agree that you need to apply translation convention. But Close actively doesn't have that going on when there's so many characters already like that in the franchise, then it's a pretty clear indication he's not meant to be that sort of character. If he did, he'd have an obnoxious verbal tic and characters would constantly be making fun of him for it.

But I've made my point, I guess. Back to Symphogear.

some rando subbed episode 1. no subs for the songs though. it's on si.

edit: they are lovely speedsubs, also. That said they aren't the WORST ever. just kinda bad. if you were around during early/mid-2000s fansubbing you've seen way worse.

actually, yeah, minus a few typos and [kirika being kirika] these subs are fine? Not amazing and some of the terms are weird but they're totally watchable. Unless you really wanna wait for song subs I'd recommend them.

I liked the premiere a lot. Looks like Chris might be getting a bit more focus this time around, which would be nice. The action is definitely as strong as the series has ever been.

I can't believe the season just started and Hibiki and Kirika are already cheating on their wives.

Hibiki didn't mean anything by it. Kirika, on the other hand, needs to mind her wandering eyes.

Man the whole episode was packed with good stuff, but the one clear miss was no flashback to the teacher yelling "Tachibana-san!"

Five minutes into the episode and I'm already grinning like a complete moron. I had no idea how they'd top the intro to GX, but then I got to see Hibiki punching tank shells out of the air and Chris spitting out a bullet after no selling a barrage of assault rifle fire and I'm like "drat it, they did it again".

Symphogear is good, guys.

Are those banana Noise (spoiler for maybe new Noise designs? I dunno) new or did I just miss them in earlier seasons? Because they were loving hilarious.

Pretty sure they're new, because South America.

Also the first half of the episode was like they played the first level of Revengeance and were like "Hold my beer."

I'm pretty sure bananas are the generic, basic Noise design. They're certainly the image I've always associated with them.
