Fansub Review: [Commie] Chihayafuru (Episode 07)

B-Tier, Fansub Review — By Dark_Sage on January 1, 2012 12:35 am

Oh, a decent Chihayafuru release? Karuta be praised.

Release format: MKV (199 MB, 10-bit)

Japanesiness: Extremely Japanese to the point of the betraying America. Did not TL karuta as “shitty card game”. Jam bread is not TL’d as “jelly doughnut”. Disappointed their families by subbing a Japanese anime program. (No honorifics, English-only karaoke, you know the deal.)

 

Karaoke.

Opening. Nothing special, but at least it matches the credits for color.

Ending. It is what it looks like. Plain, but it works okay.

 

Typesetting.

Yep, it varies between good, trolling, and stupid. Half the fun is guessing which one they intended each typeset to be.

 

Script.

I don’t think that’s how capitalization works.

“Why… do people like him exist?”

Otherwise, it reads “Why…” “Do people like him exist?” which is very different from “Why do people like him exist?”

 

Watchability: Quite watchable.

Overall grade: B+

Not much to say. It’s a pretty good release. Much better than Nyantaku’s.
