I don't wanna I don't wanna I don't wanna I don't wanna!!!

That reads less like an actual mistranslation and more like just really poor wording of said translation. They're saying similar things, but with different word choice that gives it a different connotation.

From what I've seen of the dub, not much seems off translation-wise there, but I haven't gotten to said episode yet.

Well, I'm gonna see what the dub says for that scene when I get to it, because the dub has different wording too.

Also goddamn, Akko's entire existence is like a dream where you have a final but don't remember taking the class.

Sucy's angle is less her weird low-key gross/weird voice acting and more her being eternally tired and low-energy. It still works pretty well.
I like the dub as a whole but there's weird ADR quality inconsistencies going on it. For some reason it sounds like Hannah's dialogue was recorded on a different microphone and sounds different from everyone else's.

Edit: also I'm disappointed that they didn't bother with accents like at all

To be fair, the original didn't either

^^ I should note again that I'm not noticing any problems like this in the dub, so it looks like that had a lot more care and effort put into it. At the least, there was no missing dialogue in episode 3. Though I would guess that's more on Bang Zoom or whatever studio did the dub rather than Netflix itself, so yeah.

E: The English studio is Artwood Sound, which I've never heard of, but it looks to be using a lot of Bang Zoom talent.

Maybe they go with one of the more standard dubbing houses next time. The studio they used for this is called Artwood Sound.

1. I'm pretty sure those tweets are regarding the subtitles, which I'm guessing were done in-house at Netflix.

2. The studio they used is in LA, so the people working on the dub were basically all people who usually work with Bang Zoom.

I've been watching the dub (with subtitles on) and it holds up fine. Not sure why the subs are such an issue when they've had this long to work on it.

Dub update: Dub presents this line as "One who is not yet worthy"

It's starting to feel like for as much poo poo people give them sometimes, dubtitles would have actually been the preferable option.

E: Never mind, someone said "It can't be helped" dub is trash imo [/sarcasm]

Having people actually says this stuff out loud does catch /some/ of the problems.
(Though with the VA pool being so small, they are probably utterly numb to all the
anime-isms that would not pass a proper editor).

Yeah, there's a lot of "[Thing], huh?" and like I said, there was a "It can't be helped."

But those are honestly minor issues. More pet peeves than anything.

"It can't be helped" doesn't bug me unless it's used repeatedly. There's a ton of different ways to translate it and they all mean the same thing- it's one of the only over-literal translation things that doesn't bother me much.

I hate poo poo like "I'M GOING TO HAVE TO USE THAT" or "...THAT PERSON!" and most of the other trailing exclamations and the like that are pretty idiomatic to Japanese speakers but sound really weird to anyone else.
