Translation Party: [Chyuu vs Commie vs DameDesuYo vs Hatsuyuki] Tokyo Ghoul (Episode 01)

Like the last Party, I’m not fucking transcribing Funi’s subs, so just have the edits.

Translation Party House Rules:

Spoiler for
1. Translation Parties are intended to help you make the best subtitle choice for a given anime. Choose which line(s) you liked best by selecting them with the checkbox.

2. I split the Party into two parts — Essential and Extended. Assuming you want to get this shit over with quickly, just go with the Essential choices. I picked these to be the most representative lines in the releases. But if you’re one of those people who want more comparisons to help you come to a decision, go with the Essential choices and the Extended ones.

3. If you didn’t like any of the lines, choose the “N/A” option. The results for “N/A” won’t be automatically tabulated, so you’ll have to do the math in your head. Have my gomens and nasais.

4. A “>” indicates that another character has begun speaking. If there are three characters in a line comparison, I will indicate the third with a “>>” and so on for more characters.

5. Group order is randomized for each screenshot, every time you refresh the page. However, the “N/A” option will always appear at the bottom of the screen.

6. Your results will be summed up when you click the “Get your results” button. Feel free to vote in the poll at the end/post in the comments to let others know how you did and to compare your results with them.

7. Party hard.

What witty dialogue.

Audio:

Tokyo Ghoul Essential 01

Chyuu :: I don’t suppose you know who I am.
>Oh, but I do.
>You’re a joyless man that enjoys harassing others.

Commie :: You don’t know me, do you?
>Sure I do. You’re an insipid man who enjoys being a nuisance.

DameDesuYo :: I suppose you haven’t heard of me then?
>Of course I have.
>You’re a hopelessly dull person with abhorrent tastes.

Hatsuyuki :: You don’t know me, do you?
>Yes, I do. You’re a boring man that has a hobby of tormenting others.

Essential 2.

Dating strategies shared.

Audio:

Tokyo Ghoul Essential 02

Chyuu :: It’s not that funny.
>I’m just saying, you can’t have a first date at a bookstore, right?
Why not?
She might even be thrilled!
>I’ll state for the record: that won’t happen. Case dismissed.

Commie :: It’s not {\i1}that{\i0} funny, is it?
>I’m just saying, you can’t have a first date at a bookstore, right?
Why not? She could be thrilled with the idea, you know?
>I’ll say it for the record: not gonna happen. Case dismissed.

DameDesuYo :: Is it actually that funny to you?
>Let’s be real here. You can’t be serious about going to a bookstore for your first date.
Why not? She might be thrilled, you know!
>For your information, that’s never going to happen. Period.

Hatsuyuki :: It’s not that funny, is it?
>I’m just saying, you can’t have a first date in a bookstore, you know?
Why not? She may be delighted, right?
>Let’s be clear, she will not. Rejected.

Essential 3.

Filler scene.

Audio:

Tokyo Ghoul Essential 03

Chyuu :: If you were to leave a wild animal to itself,
it would eat any number of people, wouldn’t it?
>So ghouls are like animals, huh?
They’re worse than animals, since they are of no use to us.
>That’s true.

Commie :: They’re like feral animals, aren’t they?
If you leave them alone, they’ll just keep eating people.
>Ghouls as animals, huh?
Too bad you can’t even use ’em as livestock, since they aren’t good for anything.
>Hah, too true.

DameDesuYo :: They might as well be animals with the amount of human guts they can stomach.
>Ghouls as animals, huh?
On second thought, they’re {\i1}worse{\i0} than livestock. They’re completely useless, after all.
>That’s true.

Hatsuyuki :: If you leave the beast,
they will continue to eat as many as they want. Isn’t it like that?
>Ghouls are beasts, huh?
They’re worse than livestock, since they’re not useful for anything.
>That’s true.

Chyuu :: Kaneki-san, what’s your favorite work by Takatsuki?
>It would have to be his debut book.
It was a breakout hit, after all.
The delicacy amidst all the extremeness, you might say.

Commie :: Kaneki, what’s your favorite work by Takatsuki?
>It would have to be his debut book.
It was a breakout hit, after all.
I suppose you could say there’s a delicate subtlety within its boldness.

DameDesuYo :: Kaneki-san, what’s your favorite work by Takatsuki?
>It would have to be his debut book.
It was an instant bestseller after all.
A refreshing delicacy amidst all the clutter, you might say.

Hatsuyuki :: Kaneki-san, what’s your favorite work by Takatsuki?
>Thinking back, probably his debut book.
He brought a new literary style, didn’t he?
A delicacy amidst all the extremeness, you might say.

>Actually, um, I’m currently on a strict diet…
>If you’ll excuse me for a bit, I need to use the restroom.
She’s so refined…

Hatsuyuki :: Rize-san, you eat very little, don’t you?
>What? Oh… Actually, I’m on a diet…
>Excuse me, I need to use the restroom.
She {\i1}is{\i0} a girl…

Essential 7.

Kaneki, learning things out about ghouls that he, for some reason, never knew before.

Audio:

Tokyo Ghoul Essential 07

Chyuu :: Ogura-san, can’t ghouls be satisfied by eating the same food as humans do?
>No, ghouls are only able to derive their nutrition from people.
>Not to mention that their tongues work differently than ours do.
>When they eat human food,
>it tastes incredibly slimy and awful to them.

Commie :: Mr. Ogura, why can’t ghouls just eat normal food like regular people?
>Ghouls are only able to derive nutrition from human flesh.
>Additionally, their tongues work differently than ours do.
>When they eat regular food,
>it tastes incredibly foul to them.

DameDesuYo :: But Ogura-san, wouldn’t the normal food that we eat suffice for ghouls as well?
>Absolutely not, as ghouls are only able to derive their nutrition from human organs.
>Not to mention, their tongues function in a way different from ours, too.
>Should they attempt to consume human food, they’d just be left with an incredibly awful aftertaste.

Hatsuyuki :: Ogura-san, can’t ghouls be satisfied with eating the same food as humans do?
>Oh, ghouls are only able to derive their nutrition from people.
>Not to mention, their tongues are constructed differently from ours.
>When they eat human food,
>it tastes incredibly awful to them.

Threatenage.

Tokyo Ghoul Essential 08

Chyuu :: I’ve never seen you before.
For that matter, why is only one of your eyes red?
That’s nasty.
You know what you get for encroaching upon someone else’s territory, right?

Commie :: I’ve never seen you before.
For that matter, why is only one of your eyes red? That’s kind of gross.
You know what you get for scavenging in someone else’s territory, right?

DameDesuYo :: Well, you’re a face I haven’t seen around here.
More importantly, where’s your other red eye? That’s kinda gross.
You know what happens when you get caught on someone else’s territory, right?

Hatsuyuki :: I’ve never seen you before.
Or rather, why is only one of your eyes red? That’s nasty.
You know what happens if you invade someone else’s territory, right?

Essential 9.

Shoot ’em both, Grady.

Audio:

Tokyo Ghoul Essential 09

Chyuu :: Okay, imagine this.
Your girlfriend is naked and lying on the ground.
Then someone else there with his pants down says to you,
“I wasn’t doing anything. I just happened to be here.”
That’s exactly the same as what you’re telling me.
If it were me, I’d kill the guy.

Commie :: Okay, imagine this.
Your girlfriend is naked and lying on the ground.
Then someone else there with his pants down says to you,
“I wasn’t doing anything. I just happened to be here.”
That’s basically what you’re telling me.
If it were me, I’d kill the guy.

DameDesuYo :: Okay, imagine this. Your girlfriend is naked and lying on the ground.
There’s a guy there with his pants down, he turns around and says to you,
“I wasn’t doing anything. I just happened to be here.”
That’s exactly what I’m getting from you right now.
If it were up to me, I’d blow his damned brains out.

Hatsuyuki :: Okay, imagine this: Your girlfriend is naked and lying on the ground.
Then someone else with his pants down says to you,
“I wasn’t doing anything. I just happened to be here.”
What you are saying is exactly like that.
If it were me, I’d kill that kind of guy.

Chyuu :: The truth is,
I live near where these recent incidents have been taking place…
>Oh, you mean the ghouls?
I’m really scared of things like that.
Even now, I can’t stop myself from trembling when I think about them.

Commie :: The truth is, I live near where these recent incidents have been…
>Oh, the ghoul attacks?
They’ve taken a huge toll on me.
Even now, just thinking about it, I can hardly stop myself from trembling.

DameDesuYo :: Actually, I… kind of live close to where those recent incidents have been occurring…
>Oh, you mean the ghouls?
I’m quite squeamish when it comes to these sorts of things.
I can’t stop myself from trembling whenever I think about it.

Hatsuyuki :: The truth is, I… live near where these recent incidents have been…

Expanded 5.

There are a litany of things better than reading, not just organ grabbing. Girl-chan needs to get out more.

Audio:

Tokyo Ghoul Extended 05

Chyuu :: Kaneki-san,
there’s something I like even more than reading.
Do you know what it is?
It’s pulling out all the organs of someone who’s desperately trying to run away from me.

Commie :: Kaneki,
there’s something I like even more than reading.
Know what it is?
It’s pulling out {\i1}all{\i0} the organs of someone who’s too terrified to run away.

DameDesuYo :: Kaneki-san,
there’s something I like even {\i1}more{\i0} than reading. Would you like to know?
Tearing apart the luscious organs of someone who isn’t trying to escape from me is {\i1}most{\i0} enjoyable.

Hatsuyuki :: Kaneki-san,
I have something I like even more than reading.
You see, it’s…
…pulling out all of the organs of someone who is trying to run away from me!

Chyuu :: It’s as if all the events that took place with Rize-san
were something straight out of a dream.
But one thing is for sure…
Ever since then, something has been…
Something has been strange.

Commie :: It almost seems as if the events of that entire day with Rize never really happened.
But one thing is for certain…
Ever since then, something has been…
something has been strange.

DameDesuYo :: It almost feels like the time I spent together with Rize-san
was only the product of some whimsical dream of mine.
But if nothing else, there’s one thing I’m certain of…
Ever since then, something has been…
Something has been eating away at me.

Hatsuyuki :: The events with Rize-san on that day…
Thoughts like, “it never really happened,” sometimes come to mind.
But… what is certain…
Ever since then, something is….
Something is strange.

I went to see him several times,

I even went to his place several times,
but he wouldn’t answer the door.
>If it were me, I wouldn’t even bother anymore with a rude brat like that.

P.S. When you recover completely, come back to the university.
It’s rough here on my own.

Tokyo Ghoul Essential 07

Chyuu :: Ogura-san, can’t ghouls be satisfied by eating the same food as humans do?
No, ghouls are only able to derive their nutrition from people.
Not to mention that their tongues work differently than ours do.
When they eat human food,
it tastes incredibly slimy and awful to them.

Commie :: Mr. Ogura, why can’t ghouls just eat normal food like regular people?
Ghouls are only able to derive nutrition from human flesh.
Additionally, their tongues work differently than ours do.
When they eat regular food,
it tastes incredibly foul to them.

DameDesuYo :: But Ogura-san, wouldn’t the normal food that we eat suffice for ghouls as well?
Absolutely not, as ghouls are only able to derive their nutrition from human organs.
Not to mention, their tongues function in a way different from ours, too.
Should they attempt to consume human food, they’d just be left with an incredibly awful aftertaste.

Hatsuyuki :: Ogura-san, can’t ghouls be satisfied with eating the same food as humans do?
Oh, ghouls are only able to derive their nutrition from people.
Not to mention, their tongues are constructed differently from ours.
When they eat human food,
it tastes incredibly awful to them.

Tokyo Ghoul Essential 08

Chyuu :: I’ve never seen you before.
For that matter, why is only one of your eyes red?
That’s nasty.
You know what you get for encroaching upon someone else’s territory, right?

Commie :: I’ve never seen you before.
For that matter, why is only one of your eyes red? That’s kind of gross.
You know what you get for scavenging in someone else’s territory, right?

DameDesuYo :: Well, you’re a face I haven’t seen around here.
More importantly, where’s your other red eye? That’s kinda gross.
You know what happens when you get caught on someone else’s territory, right?

Hatsuyuki :: I’ve never seen you before.
Or rather, why is only one of your eyes red? That’s nasty.
You know what happens if you invade someone else’s territory, right?

Chyuu :: Okay, imagine this.
Your girlfriend is naked and lying on the ground.
Then someone else there with his pants down says to you,
“I wasn’t doing anything. I just happened to be here.”
That’s exactly the same as what you’re telling me.
If it were me, I’d kill the guy.

Commie :: Okay, imagine this.
Your girlfriend is naked and lying on the ground.
Then someone else there with his pants down says to you,

If it were me, I’d kill the guy.

DameDesuYo :: Okay, imagine this. Your girlfriend is naked and lying on the ground.
There’s a guy there with his pants down, he turns around and says to you,
“I wasn’t doing anything. I just happened to be here.”
That’s exactly what I’m getting from you right now.
If it were up to me, I’d blow his damned brains out.

Hatsuyuki :: Okay, imagine this: Your girlfriend is naked and lying on the ground.

    Loool. Yeah, I hated everything about my ep 1. I just came back from camping and then was told that we picked up this show. Ended up doing a measly effort (Excuses). But yeah, Commie’s lines were pretty good. DDY had some okay ones but some of them I didn’t like and as for what I put out… I hated it.

    Considering the “best” is still easily a failing grade, I think I’ll pass on this for now. Already read enough of the manga that I don’t need the anime if the subs are this quality.

    It took several passes; it was too close between the top three even after going back and doing the optional questions. In the end I had to basically select everything except the lines I just thought were really bad–should’ve done the reverse in the first place.

    Good. Really liked most of DDY’s lines. Even so, I picked “They all suck” two times. Although I always try to pick a line.
