Wait what I thought the robot exploded and killed Mami with it, if it just flew off with her then why?????

What??????

Unless Haruka is saying "took Ami's life away" or whatever.

....

What?



Ignoring the fact the translation keeps saying 'Ami' the rest of the words are correct in a literal sense, but, the intended takeaway is that she's dead in an explosion, yes.

No, see, it imploded. So they’re off in another dimension, probably. That’s how anime works, right? Explosion: probably dead. Implosion: Teleported or whatever.

A bizarre alternate universe where she became an idol in a small, struggling office in a Tokyo that still has a moon in the sky.


ZepiaEltnamOberon posted:

Haruka somehow forgetting the time that she was nearly killed by an iDOL twice.

In fact, as far as Haruka is concerned, 33% of all iDOLs currently known to exist have attempted to murder her. Since it happened twice it's actually 66%, that's how math works.

No see, Chihaya tried to kill her with an iDOL twice. I’m the iDOL itself was very upset about that.

Speaking of Chihaya and her robot, not a single word about “Dawn over Purple Moon,” the incredible name they came up with for “one of the scientists decided she wanted all the robots for herself and killed a bunch of people to get one?” Because that's an incredible name for what appears to be Azusa getting her rear end kicked and hanging out in a massive fire.

You can't really roll out the 'actually you shouldn't sit around feeling sorry for yourself' line on someone who had a thing happen like 10 years ago and is now a famous idol singer.




I’m pretty sure the only accurate translation here is her name, but she’s just another rookie. The CD isn’t even out yet, since it’s apparently still late August.

Ah, I had my doubts about that but by the time I decided to look at it properly it was smeared across the stadium so I couldn't read it properly.

It's incredibly weird how their translation varies from at least adequate to making stuff up entirely. Like sure, nobody wants to put 'I couldn't figure this out' in their subs but half the stuff is incredibly basic anyway. Even in 2007 I'm pretty sure JMDict was available on the internet.

That's just plain katakana so I'm amazed they managed to screw that up.

:h::h::h:Alhamdulillah-chan:h::h::h:
It seems like the translator had either just japanese subs or just the audio to go with. Probably a transcription, based on how they mangle things that would be written in katakana, like Turiavita (which was also quite plainly shown on screen, albeit before it was ever said) or Modenkind. It seems that when something was written on screen, they had the text, but absolutely not the image — that picturebook about how iDOLs destroy drops makes that clear enough. There's plenty of pretty strange stuff, like "positive" somehow becoming "preserve" (maybe?) on that Ami ad. Or an episode or two back where every instance of the word konpeito (which is, incidentally, written in katakana here) became "compact."

Sidenote: I went ahead and went to wikipedia and looked at some things. So I can confirm that

Polsy posted:

is certainly not what he said, although what he did say doesn't mean anything yet (and I didn't bother to look for further spoilers besides "is the thing I thought I heard here in this list of terms.")

What I was really after was what the hell iDOL means and oh man, it's super dumb and probably super plot-relevant, except it's in English and obscure enough that there's almost definitely no overlap between the japanese people who know what the word means and the japanese people who would watch a robot idol show. So even though they did technically show it (in stunningly illegible quality), it probably isn't meant to mean anything to anyone just yet.

Bang Dream S2 ep 11 has a new song, important for the plot, but not subtitled anywhere. I tried translating it, not sure if it reads well. Corrections accepted. I can make subtitles of it for the next idolwatch if anyone's interested.
