Looks like everyone brought their C-game to this 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.

HorribleSubs :: Judging by my research on the net, 90% of players are male!
In order to overturn this construct,
the characters of “True Labyrinth of Greed” should be geared towards women.
In other words, we should make it with characters from hardcore homoge!
>You just want to do that yourself, don’t you?!
Yes, and your point?
>You’re not overturning the construct, you’ll be capsizing under it.

Commie :: Based on my Internet research, 90% of players are male!
In order to overturn this construct,
the characters of {\i1}True Labyrinth of Greed{\i0} should be geared toward women.
In other words, we should make it with characters from hardcore gay dating sims!
>That’s just something {\i1}you{\i0} want to do, isn’t it?!
Yeah. So what’s your point?
>You’re just gonna end up shooting yourself in the foot.

EveTaku :: I did some research on the net, and most of our players are male.
We should make the characters more appealing to a female demographic!
In other words, we should create more homosexual male characters!
>Is that all you want to do?
Yes. What of it?
>We don’t want to change our demographic; we want to appeal to it.

With an attitude like that,
I’ll think the whole thing was just a dream!

This is the girl who gave me a kiss before I left.

    I watched the first half of EveTaku’s release and was bothered by a few things, but it looks like they’re still the best.

    For example, at the beginning of Kyousuke’s conversation with Manami, he says that there are a bunch of different things worrying him (that’s why at the end, Manami asks what the other things are), but it sounded like just one thing in the script.

    Well that was unexpected. Especially since I watched EveTaku. Is this some sort of reverse confirmation bias? Or maybe it’s a side effect of white knighting Commie’s SnK release all day. I guess I’ll watch both Commie and EveTaku when episode 2 is out and decide after that. Hopefully some other group will pick this up and deliver a script that isn’t subpar, making my decision for me. I fucking hate having to think for myself.

    Commie’s editor actually added errors into CR’s script. “Well, that girl is most herself when she gives into her desires.” for example. And for the record I watched every release, so I could pretty much point out who had what line for every comparison.

      I agree. Just looking at the Essentials, it’s a coin-toss whether Commie’s edits make the show better or worse. But on Essential 5 Commie took out the one witty exchange I’ve read so far (overturn vs. capsize) in favor of a slight increase in readability. Aaargh!

      I dropped the first season due to boredom, even though I liked the characters. I was thinking of giving season two a try, but now I’m not so sure.

    Well…that was inconclusive. I’ll probably go with EveTaku though because it’s the only group that uses the “life counseling” terminology that Mazui had. I guess sometimes it’s the littlest of things that can make a difference.

    • No clue. I only watched an ep or two of season 1. I don’t give a shit about the blu-ray scene, but my pal who does is dick hard for ANE, so I guess that’s whose version he’d recommend.

      I don’t think it really matters all that much since all the groups appear to have just used straight Mazui subs with some SS song translations thrown in.

      Reply
    • Hilariously, Mazui’s batch release was the only version of the show thus far that really made improvements to the original TV scripts they used. So If you want to watch the show now and are okay with watching it in 720p, Mazui’s your best option.
