Just how many mistakes have you suffered on the way here?

An uncountable number, to be sure.

They Changed Stuff for Added Emphasis on Slavery Report:

The scene with Filo thrashing against a magic force field while being branded with the slave tattoo was new.

They had Filo learn wind magic for some reason? I guess whirlwinds are easier to animate than a giant bird that jump-kicks everything to death. They also had Raphtalia learn her invisibility spell much earlier. Turning invisible during fight scenes: also very easy to animate.

They added Raphtalia to the dungeon crawl scene where the monsters whisper your fears to you. That meant that Naofumi heard the thing he feared most from Raphtalia: "I'm sick and tired for being Naofumi-sama's slave. I only pretended to become his slave again so I could kill him with my own hands". They didn't use the scene to show us Raphtalia's fears, though, thus maintaining the source material's commitment to never developing her as a character.

Then they rearranged the chapters a bit, meaning I have to wait a whole week for the big fight scene where everything goes wrong. I'm still looking forward to that.

assuming things are done to expedite animation and framing decisions as lazy is pretty lame when the show has multiple instances of what you'd imply they're shying away from. this ep features multiple bird kicks and raphtalia approached a monster while cloaked for and it failed completely. her multiple acrobatics and swordplays in the fight were visible.

Yeah, the Nue fight was well done. But then there was the bandit fight, presented here in it's entirety.

yeah, sort of but that didn't even cross my mind because there it's a transition used for an 'instant loss' joke rather than having depicted a fight at all.

Untranslated sfx are just background noise to me and I think that doing a good job scanlating them can really improve the reading experience. I think putting a translation next to the original sfx is awful though and can end up wrecking the composition. I’ve never been interested enough in a sfx to read the tiny text next to it.

I'd rather fansubbers just make a white box over the art and put in a disclaimer that if you want detail, buy from the retailers with a license.

Also call out retailers who are too drat lazy to do a good job with this.

Cleaners erase the Japanese text and draw back in any details/gaps that might occur as a result-it's very important, otherwise your fan translation will look like crap.

I think the desfinction between the other two is that proofreaders fix typos and grammatical errors, and a quality checker makes sure terms,names,font, and style, are consistent in the work from previous chapters.

In some LN translation groups, proofreaders are actually fixing up chapters worth of machine translations because there is no actual translator.
That was definitely not what I'd signed up for.

Went and took a look into the first episode because I hate myself and I know how excited all of you are to hear about it. The dub is pretty bad, and several of the characters seem miscast - Motoyasu is super nasal, and Malty sounds like she has not one mean bone in her body. I think Crunchyroll delayed this dub to get people in the habit of watching the sub, not because it was behind schedule or the voice actors rebelled against an offensive script during production. For everything that's awful with Shield Hero, I think the Japanese voicework is fantastic on this show.

Maybe that's why the VAs seem miscast; because nobody good wanted the roles?

Most dub VAs (even good ones!) can't really afford to be picky and will be in all sorts of crap if it pays the bills. Most likely they just have a terrible voice director.

Yea. I don't think they'd phone it in either since it'd reflect badly on them. Just doing the usual stuff for one of a million shows in a season.

I mean the hilarious thing is that mock dub would just be basically an Abridged take. You don't have to make up crude jokes, just point out how hosed any moment is and how much of a creeper shield hero is.

I feel like in saying this you have willed an abridged series into existence and it would be a worse experience than watching regular shield hero.

The Ghost Stories dub was a rewrite of the whole script because the guys handling it looked at the original show and realized that there was 0 potential so they just made some dumb poo poo up and it was pretty hilarious.

But it's not an Abridged edit since it's the entire show, just with different dialogue.

Nah, Shield Hero is all about how super unfair and bad everyone else is while the main character is allowed to walk around being a psychopath and not get called on it because of who he is. You can't have a proper misogynistic pity wallow without first ignoring all the ways society is trying to give you a boost.
