What is a re-review? It’s another review for a group that thinks they didn’t get a fair shake or when they think they’ve improved so much that my previous review is invalid. I’ll only do re-edits upon requests from the groups themselves.

Oh, and time to work on those reviews I’ve promised everyone. Umm, Hiryuu-Hina’s Dog Days, re-review with Hina-Wasu’s Hen Zemi 02, the other groups doing Astarotte… I’ve promised so much I can’t even remember. Remind my dumb ass on IRC or something.

Muskmelon is actually a fruit. No need for special caps. Also, it’s mellow-tasting. You got the rule right for “fully-ripe”, though.

Why would you do this?

This line is supposed to be super short. How about “So this is ‘killing two birds with one stone!'”

even with a tank,

the Bishokuya, Toriko. And I still don’t think you needed to keep Bishokuya in Japanese.

This is not acceptable.

It looks like you already are. Fail@tense

One of those its is right. The other? Not so much.

Why “Those”? “The” works nicer in this context.

These don’t quite jive.

Really? Sure, I can imagine he’s talking about the courses he wants to find, but I doubt his “Drink” part of the full course menu is going to be living. Perhaps he wants to encounter all those delicious things rather than meet them all.

Overall grade: B-

When they let their editor edit, it works out a lot better. I take back my comment about their editor drinking bleach. I’d still go with AEarth_Kaen’s, though. Theirs seemed more natural.

  1. >fully-ripe

    Naah. Hyphens should be avoided whenever possible. In these cases, they’re meant primarily to eliminate ambiguity; “mellow-tasting” just barely qualifies, since you could call the fruit itself mellow rather than its taste. But no way in hell could “fully” be meant to modify “mangoes” directly; since it *has* to modify “ripe”, no hyphen is wanted.

    Hyphens are as grossly overused as commas are underused.

    That episode title screen made me snort audibly.
