Expect nothing but the best max from these groups. That’s the fansubbing way!

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.

Yes, I did use both v2 scripts from shi0n and Watakushi-Nameless. So that’s not an excuse they can use.

FFF :: I was negligent to have been so sloppy.
To have left even a trace of it behind…
I should have had them expunged from existence.

I should have destroyed them up to their inner part.
I should have turned them all into ashes.

Of course it’ll be like this.
I mean, I barged in on an enjoyable lunch gathering.

Of course, it would be like this…
It should be a fun lunch time, until I’m here among them.

Watakushi-Nameless :: I know, right? Of course the atmosphere would be gloomy like this.

Uh, sure.

shi0n :: First, I need to help Kagari-san!
An ambulance, yes! Call an ambulance!

>You won’t be running away from having lunch with me?
Heh?
Ah, yeah…
I promise you that, like I said…

Hey, I’m asking you a question here.

FFF :: Saw this coming too.
Of course it’ll be like this.
I mean, I barged in on an enjoyable lunch gathering.

shi0n :: I knew this would happen…
Of course, it would be like this…
It should be a fun lunch time, until I’m here among them.

Watakushi-Nameless :: I know, right? Of course the atmosphere would be gloomy like this.
It’s because someone like me mixed among them whereas it was supposed to be a fun lunch time.

Uh, sure.

    I chose to save myself from these shitty subs with the power of self-immolation 8 times.

    Anyway why do I see so many ellipses?

  4. Anyway, i read the version 1 of [Watakushi-Nameless] script and i find it more good rather than the new script (the webrip version) they change ‘Prince’ to ‘Princess’ for no reason.

    • She calls him ohime, not ouji, and considering how weirded out he gets by being called a princess later on it’s probably supposed to be that. I’m assuming an explanation for why he would be a princess and not a prince will be involved in the plot in the future, and changing the translation just because he’s a guy is a grave mistake. Especially if it ends up being an important plot point; then you’re in real trouble for scriptwriting just because you thought it made more sense to change the translation.

      • Actually, I think it’s been explained by now. Evermillion, the person locked inside him, is called the White Princess. They haven’t come out and said this is why she calls him Princess, but it’s a pretty safe bet.

    • My computer refused to cooperate with me when I tried to listen to the sound clips so I couldn’t take the poll. What a shame.

      Hmmm, just comparing CR subs with this, I would say that CR was the best overall. Kind of like combining the good parts of shi0n and Watakushi-Nameless together.

    Fuck it voting that this script is too hard for any of them.

    Reply
    • I read the first two chapters of the manga (they make up episode 01), if FFF, shiOn, or watakushi had actually used the manga dialogue almost word-for-word for their script (which is what I think CR did do), it would have turned out much better.
