If there’s any TL Party to attend this season, this one will be it. Anonymous subs for scale.

Translation Party House Rules:

Spoiler:
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.

Yurikuma Arashi - Essential 01

Anonymous :: We have always hated you.
And because it has always been like this
I’ve ever wanted become friends with you …
and pass this wall.

Asenshi :: From the very beginning, we loathed you,
and from the very beginning, we loved you.
That’s why we wanted to become true friends.
To cross that barrier…

HorribleSubs :: We hated you from the beginning–and loved you from the beginning, too.
And so we wanted to become true friends with you. To cross the wall…

Watashi :: We have always detested you.
And we have always loved you.
It drove us to reach out in friendship.
Species Divide be damned.

Essential 2.

Back story.

Yurikuma Arashi - Essential 02

Anonymous :: Kun Gao!
One day far away  in space exploded the astroid Kumaria.
When Kumaria in form of a shooting stars fell down on Earth in pieces,
all bears stand up at once.
They started attacking the humans.
Completely out of nowhere!

Asenshi :: Growl!
One day, an asteroid in the far reaches of the universe called Kumaria went kaboom.
A bunch’a the little bits fell to Earth as a meteor shower.
Then all of a sudden, every bear on the planet rose to its feet!
We all came together and started attacking humans.
Like, I was totally shocked!

HorribleSubs :: Growl, growl!
One day, at the far reaches of space, the minor planet Kumalia exploded!
The fragments of Kumalia became a meteor swarm that rained down on Earth…
Which made the world’s bears rise up as one!
They all started attacking humans! Like, who could’ve seen that coming, right?

Watashi :: Rowr! Rowr!
Long ago an asteroid from a corner of the galaxy, Ursaria, suddenly exploded!
Now in pieces, the remains of Ursaria fell to Earth in a meteor shower.
This caused the Ursa of Earth to all…
…start attacking people!
Like, oh em gee, right?

Essential 3.

Teacher-sensei warns the class that the bear alarm was tripped earlier.

Audio:

Yurikuma Arashi - Essential 03

Anonymous :: Also, you all should know already,
that this morning …
a bear appeared on the way to this school.
Till this day no bear has passed the wall,
to enter the human world.
Watch yourself even if we aren’t in alarm anymore.

Asenshi :: And ladies, I do not believe that this bears repeating,
but a dreadful bear sighting occurred this morning on the road outside the academy.
A bear crossing the Severance Barrier and invading the human world is something that must be taken very seriously.
The alarm may have ceased, but be certain to keep your guard up.

HorribleSubs :: Now, as I’m sure you all know,
bears unfortunately appeared on the roads near our school this morning.
It ought to be unthinkable for bears to cross the Wall of Severance
and enter the human world.
The warning has been lifted, but you mustn’t be careless.

Watashi :: And one more announcement:
As I’m sure you’re all aware, we had the misfortune of an Ursa outbreak this morning on the main road.
>What?
>>No way!
This Ursa overcame the Species Divide and is attempting to infiltrate our order.
This cannot come to pass.
The Alert has been lifted, but I urge you to remain vigilant.

Essential 4.

This part is probably important. Probably.

Yurikuma Arashi - Essential 04

Anonymous :: The storm … has catched up on us.
So it begins.
Something you love, will get destroyed as a warning.
The „Invisible Storm“ will take everything.
Till he gets us and vanishes …

Asenshi :: A storm has fallen upon us.
This was just a warning that everything we hold dear will be destroyed, one by one.
The Invisible Storm will engulf everything.
It will erode us until we are no more.

HorribleSubs :: The storm chased me down.
It’s only the beginning. A warning that it’ll start with what’s most precious.
The Invisible Storm will destroy everything, until we’re worn away into nothing.

Watashi :: The wuthering has come.
This is a sign, telling us that which we most hold dear will be destroyed first.
The phantom wuthering will ruin it all.
The winds will howl and tear us apart, piece by piece.

Asenshi :: The first lily I ate filled me up with happiness.

Essential 6.

The two girl bears are put on trial for attempting to eat a human.

Audio: 

Yurikuma Arashi - Essential 06

Anonymous :: Mr. Chairman!
The humans and bears are getting seperated through the insurmountable Wall named „Extinction“.
The accused have passed this wall and entered the human world.
Without question. They are greedy.
And so … guilty!

Asenshi :: Your Honor, there exists an insurmountable barrier of severance between man and bear.
The defendants have crossed it and invaded the world of man.
This is clearly an act of overeating.
I declare them guilty!

HorribleSubs :: Your Honor!
Humans and bears have a wall called Extinction between them that is not to be crossed.
The defendants have crossed it and infiltrated the human world.
This is blatant overeating. They are guilty!

Watashi :: Your Honor!
You must be aware of the forbidden divide we call “species” between Homo and Ursa.
The defendursants crossed this and positioned themselves inside the Homo class.
This is clear gluttony.
A sin.
They are guilty!

Decision Point:

  1. God, yes! Hit me with even more words! (Your dad used a dictionary too? Click on the spoiler tag for more.)
  2. Going on would be a worse decision than ending apartheid. (That’s debatable, but head down to the results before we start one.)

>Is that an objection, Mr. Defender?
But they are bears, they die if they don’t eat.
Do you want them, to starve to death?

Asenshi :: Shiny shine!
Your Honor, the prosecutor is clearly committing an {\i1}ad ursam{\i0}!
>Defense, are you raising an objection?
Of course! Even bears will die if they don’t eat.
Are you perhaps insinuating that these girls should’ve starved to death?

HorribleSubs :: Sparkle!
Your Honor, the prosecutor is blatantly hostile to bears!
>Counsel, was that intended to be an objection?
I mean, even bears have to eat to live, right?
Are you telling them to starve to death?

Watashi :: Fabulous!
Your Honor!
The prosecution is clearly antagonizing the defendursants!
>Is the defense challenging the prosecution?
Well, duh! You need to eat to live!

Talking.

Audio:

Yurikuma Arashi – Extended 06

Anonymous :: *blink, blink*
The chairman and the prosecuting attorney are biased against the bears!
>Is that an objection, Mr. Defender?
But they are bears, they die if they don’t eat.
Do you want them, to starve to death?

Asenshi :: Shiny shine!
Your Honor, the prosecutor is clearly committing an {\i1}ad ursam{\i0}!
>Defense, are you raising an objection?
Of course! Even bears will die if they don’t eat.
Are you perhaps insinuating that these girls should’ve starved to death?

HorribleSubs :: Sparkle!
Your Honor, the prosecutor is blatantly hostile to bears!
>Counsel, was that intended to be an objection?
I mean, even bears have to eat to live, right?
Are you telling them to starve to death?

Watashi :: Fabulous!
Your Honor!
The prosecution is clearly antagonizing the defendursants!
>Is the defense challenging the prosecution?
Well, duh! You need to eat to live!
Ursa are no exception.
Or are you telling them to starve to death?

HorribleSubs :: Your Honor, a Love Judgment, please!

    I haven’t watched the show yet, so it seems I’ll go with Asenshi for now.

    Those lines from Anonymous sure were something…

    Watched with Ashensi… I think, I forget.
    Watashi still as trash as I remember, they had a couple good lines but the use of “homo” was like, just no and Ashensi felt like the only one who had consistency as far as the naming of the wall went, they also nailed characterization, they did have a couple problems like using “we” when talking about the meteor, thinking a bit more about it it’s ok but I guess I’d still prefer “they”, there was another line with this problem but I don’t feel like checking and I forget.
    Either way, Ashensi is a solid edit but I’ll go with HS if they end up being slow.

    yea, the result is pretty bearcisive.
    Although HS is okay too, Asenshis phrasing has a better growl, except for some lines (like, how could they mistranslate Ichi-Maru-San?). I couldn’t bear that Ursa and Homo stuff from Watashi. And Anonymous… I hope that was supposed to be a beartempt at JokeSubbing.

    If I wanted horrible puns on every sentence of spoken dialogue I would learn Japanese.
    I don’t even care if this shit is accurate or not.

    Watched Asenshi for the first episode.

    Watashi was also pretty good but had some weird lines. I’ll check them out for the next episode.

    Watched raw, then Asenshi, then Funi. Haven’t gotten around to Watashi’s yet, but the party covered the points I was going to focus on anyway.

    Funi’s script could probably use a good edit, but it’s definitely the most accurate translation of the bunch. And while, as a translator, I can sort of appreciate what Watashi tried to do, it seems to have resulted in a rather tone deaf script.

    Didn’t like Watashi’s use of Homo, but they had a lot of better lines. I’ll prob just go with the fastest release on this terrible show.

    Watched with Asenshi, was aware of how Watashi handled their terminology, both seem like solid scripts to me, even if slightly less accurate than Funi.

    Didn’t expect such stacked results. Looks like Funi is actually doing an OK job, but I’ll probably be going with Asenshi unless they have delays.

    Downloaded Asenshi anyway. Took a look at Watashi after they released theirs, but I fucking hated a lot of decisions their TL/editor went with (Ursa, homo, and a few others). Asenshi’s release would be perfect if they had lyger’s kfx instead of Watashi.

    I exercised my right to not choose at all during the fuking song…

    PS: Since only one group went the “ursa” route it made it a bit easier.
