Am I full of shit or DDY subs for this show are shit? I never had any problems with their subs but I also never compared. Or it is just me? Am I dumb for prefering HS over DDY?
>>148066745
HS are consistently better than most sub groups these days.
>>148066745
First comparison: Need to know what they're saying because the subs are completely different.
Second comparison: DDY
Third comparison: Both are shit.
>>148066745
For the provided examples, DDY looks like english sentences, HS like machine translation.
Not like it can be generalized with such a small data set anyway.
>>148066745
Great episode tho
>>148067132
How can you say that if both subs are one step away form being as bad as dubs?
>>148067039
But no one says platonic or sweetheart chocolate, this is beyond retarded.
>>148067199
They were fine. I'm not autismal and can usually infer the intended meaning/tone even with imperfect subs, you see.
>>148067249
No one says obligation chocolate either.
>>148067039
>saying platonic and sweetheart in casual conversation makes more sense
Found the literal tist
>>148067249
Japanese people say a lot of shit normal people don't say.
>>148067288
In pretty much every anime I've seen it's 'obligatory'. 'Obligation' is indeed weird choice here.
>>148067310
>people say chocolate for that special someone and obligation chocolate in casual conversation
Just because one's dog shit and one's bird shit doesn't mean either is acceptable.
These days "fansubs" are pretty much (over)localized edits of official shit, so take your pick.
>>148066745
>Not that I heard... let's say
That doesn't even make sense
Everyone knows HS just rips off the subs from streaming websites.
Fansubbing is dead.
>>148067477
Fansubbing deserves to die.
It's 2016, stop using fansubs
>>148067477
And they still push the "help us out with all the hard work guys donation drive" bullshit as well. Not to mention the faggot running the twitter has shit taste. Fuck them.
>>148067468
Translation is too straightforward and translator took "let's make it awkward as fuck to match how best seiyuu in the industry said it" route.
>>148066745
>Am I dumb for prefering HS over DDY?
You simply suffer from a case of weeabooitis, which can lead to thinking that awkward and stilted translation is somehow more "accurate".
>>148067735
>weeabooitis XD
Fucking kill yourself
>>148067634
Great taste
>>148067590
Nah. I store everything I watch, streaming is fine but I don't trust online services to keep old shows available for years.
>>148066745
HS version is truly horrible
People don't talk like that
>>148066745
CR seems to be going with the same people who did the amazing subs for Working S3 in WWW. You all remember how amazing those subs were.
Horrible's subs are like machine translations. DDY is much better even if that "sweetheart chocolate" line is retarded.
Even the names should tell you. One's Horrible and the other is ダメ.
>>148068893
Isn't Aniplex providing them with scripts?I honestly can't remember what exactly is so wrong about Aniplex.
Crunchyroll didn't even make an attempt to localize the joke about the dad.
Can't really remember much about the second scene to be able to tell the difference.
I think CR are being too literal for the chocolate scene, which would go over the head of anyone who doesn't know about Japan's Valentine's Day culture. DDY simplify it quite well.
>>148069081
Pretty much every Aniplex translation phones in it hard and barely put in minimum effort (if even that) into the script. Just look at pretty much any official subs for Monogatari stuff from recent times.
>>148067873
You can store horriblesubs files instead
>>148067392
Taking the japanese chocolate giving holidays in account, someone could say such things.
>>148067611
Looks like I found a crunchyroll employee.
>>"Fuck HS guys only cool kids like me pay for anime."
Fuck off shill.
>>148067477
If there is no need for fansubbing why should people bother.
>>148066745
Is this a joke?
>>148067760
Ooh, someone's a little angry.
>>Not that I heard... let's say
The fuck.
>>148071177
Looks like I found a HS dev.
>"Oh shit he's calling my bullshit, I know, I-I'll just call him crunchy shill even though no one was mentioning about it in that."
Fuck off shill.
