We’ll have to hold off on the Dansai companion piece till tomorrow. But have another TL Party~

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.

Red Data Girl - 03

Commie :: Now that you’ve cut your hair, you should really try to act more like a normal girl.
Yeah, when you go to Sototsugawa, you should try to come out of your shell a bit.
How are you going to enjoy your youth otherwise?

FFF :: Now that you went ahead and cut your hair,
you should try being more like a normal girl.
Yeah. If you’re going to Sototsugawa, you’ll need to become a bit more sociable.
Otherwise, you’ll end up wasting your teenage years.

Kaylith-Oni :: Since you cut your hair,
why not try acting like a normal girl for a change?
Yeah, especially if you plan on fitting in at Sototsugawa.
If you don’t, you’ll only remember being awkward, you know?

Commie :: I have transferred to your school.
It pains me to impose on your life, but I hope we will get along.
I can study anywhere,
but there are some things here that I can do nowhere else.
I came to realize my weakness and cowardice once more after I was injured.

FFF :: I’m sorry to impose on you,
but I hope you’ll let me stay here.
I can study anywhere. And I can do much more.
Through my accident, I realized my own weak-mindedness.

Kaylith-Oni :: I’ve chosen to transfer schools to the one around here.
I hope that I do not burden you in the future.
I would appreciate it if I could live here.
I can study anywhere, and I’ll do any work you require of me.
After a good bump on the head, I realize how foolish I was being.

I can study anywhere,
but there are some things here that I can do nowhere else.
I came to realize my weakness and cowardice once more after I was injured.

FFF :: I’m sorry to impose on you,
but I hope you’ll let me stay here.
I can study anywhere. And I can do much more.
Through my accident, I realized my own weak-mindedness.

Kaylith-Oni :: I’ve chosen to transfer schools to the one around here.
I hope that I do not burden you in the future.
I would appreciate it if I could live here.
I can study anywhere, and I’ll do any work you require of me.
After a good bump on the head, I realize how foolish I was being.

Red Data Girl – 10

Commie :: The last time you came here,
you were bullying me by throwing a ball at me.
You wouldn’t stop.
>Yeah, I remember now.
>There was this ugly, dumb girl with braids, so I figured I’d teach her some useful skills.
>There was none of this ‘servant’ crap back then.

FFF :: Last time you came to the shrine, you bullied me. You kept hitting me with that ball…
>I remember now.
>I met this really lousy girl with braids and ended up giving her a piece of my mind.
>It’s not like I was her manservant back then.

Kaylith-Oni :: Last time you were here, all you did was bully me.
Over and over.
>Seems like you remember.
>Some children are disgusting, mean creatures.
>I figured I should toughen you up for them.
>It wasn’t about me being your manservant.

FFF :: We only talked a little, but I reckon Sagara-kun’s son has a fine character.
He’d already completed his ascetic training in the mountains when he was thirteen.
It would’ve been nice if he’d done it here instead of in Haguro.

Kaylith-Oni :: We only chatted for a bit, but Sagara’s son seems to have good character.
He finished all his training in the mountains at the age of 13.

    Interesting that I mostly chose K-O for the essentials and mostly FFF for the expanded 10.

    Seems like FFF made a mistake with that Engrish line though…

    Seems like FFF is the clear favorite. Commie was good but they stumbled around a bit. FFF seemed to get everything right.

    7,9,10,14 had pretty shitty translation options so I skipped them.

    So D_S how does RDG grab you? Or is it too early to tell? Anyway, I await your +02 reviews.

  8. Noticed a pattern here – FFF has an editor who knows what they’re doing with English, but the translations (either by the tl or the editor over-editing) seem a bit more iffy than the others. I ended up picking Commie more, not because their editing was better, but because their lines sounded more *believable* in context.

    I reckon FFF would have a pretty good release if they threw a bit more TLC at it.

    Since I watched FFF’s before doing this, I’m gonna go ahead and call confirmation bias <_<

    Also:

    Am I the only one that thinks that sounds more like a euphemism for sex than a lame joke about being hit in the face?

    Hmmm, I’ll wait for the actual reviews. Perhaps the regular air versions will be better than the pre-airs.

    • Oops! Rechecked this article since I couldn’t wait for the DS review and whaddya know, this was a regular (v1) party, after all.

      Between this and my SNAFU party fubar, I see that I need to lay off the late night TL parties until I install a drunk posting app.
      I get so intoxicated with myself that can’t make out what I’m seeing and I fall for any fun party star. Next I start apologizing for their verbal (and other parts) abuse, and I end up getting group-banged, all the while dissing a good friend/sub ;-)
      But seriously, imho Commie did a good job with their v0 (nearly identical to their v1), although they could have nuanced better their last line of Essential (Endless?) 8: e.g. “The word may have been forgotten, but the relationship remains ‘just’ the same”

      tl;dr

      FFF apparently had a major rewrite for their v1, whereas Kaylith-Oni skipped the pre-airs for a leisurely v1.

      FWIW (do I get a penny for my thoughts?) these were my revised results after a sober, context-sensitive comparison:
      Overall scores…
      Commie: 14 times
      FFF: 4 times
      Kaylith-Oni: 1 time

      P.S. As you see, I still haven’t installed a drunk posting app.
