I'm not watching Gabriel Dropout so what's the context behind the sentence? Could they have meant it as, "threw a home run pitch."

At leas Stella subs were cute in a bad way, Gabriel subs are simply bad.

The last episode will be subbed entirely in emojis.

>>153753661
I watched both versions and preferred ESL-kuns, also after watching both you really see how many liberties they took with it.

>>153754726
Good thing that we're past the halfway mark at this point. But really, if the same guy subs another thing next season I might just have to take a break from /a/.

>>153753661
It's a Simpsons reference, you underage cunt.

>>153753661
You could say that 'throwing a home run' means you threw a shitty pitch.

>>153754822
It's actually a subtle shout-out to the poem "Odyssey" you philistine.

>>153753661
The case on the first result in that screenshot seems to imply it's not being able to complete what should have been an easy home run, therefore "throwing" it in the same way you would throw a game.

It's OK, there will be better subs for the rest of the season.

Those anons decided to go with the bear side of the pun and kind of ignored the devil part, it worked but obviously it couldn't get the entire joke. That's why hating on all TL notes is dumb as fuck, most language jokes are impossible to translate properly while keeping all their meaning intact.

That famous CG one was done on purpose by a bunch of fags, you know. TL notes should ideally be used for things that can't be translated properly without losing a bunch of their original meaning, like the akumabear and horsedeer jokes.

>>153763978
but are they professionals tho

I'm actually amazed that the Spanish subs are actually much better done than the English ones. Like, the ones actually translating from nip are the spics. I would use the Spanish subs, but fuck horriblesubs for not ripping them.

>>153761599
Haven't seen those subs, but screenshot probably missing the context. Most likely subbers added build-up to the joke e.g. added a line somewhere before "you need to look more devilish, for example to reveal more skin".
I would probably go with good old "unbearable" pun. Something like this:
>You should act more like devil, to become completely shameless and unbearable
>I might have something that will help you
>Un-bear-able

>>153763863
TL notes ruin the joke too. Jokes are never funny when they are explained. So it's always better to try to use even lamest and stupidest puns instead of TL notes.

You must be retarded if you think that original meaning of akumabear is so important it needs TL notes. It just shouldn't be oh-so-beastly fucking bad.

>>153764330
Jokes are never funny if you don't understand them either. If you didn't get the relation of "ah, kuma" and "akuma" then the whole joke is lost to you, no matter how much subs try to make them English-friendly.

This is the best part of this whole thing.

If we keep bitching them out for being fucking garbage they might try to intentionally get even shittier next week in defiance, trying to prove to us that somehow they are good translators for intentionally botching something as far as they can get away with. At which point we can just petition to CR to fire those fucking faggots.

If they get paid to do work for a product with over a fucking million subscribers and botch it just because /a/ rightfully calls them retarded incompetents for doing exactly that, then they should not get paid to do that job period.

No this was literally the perfect place to use a TL note and people would find it funnier than your attempt at a pun.

>>153764466
You don't need to know kuma-akuma relation, you need to find the visual joke funny. Raphiel tried to help Vigne with her devil problem, but instead gave he bear costume. That's the whole joke. There's already bare skin variant. I proposed another one. There were few other attempts in previous threads too. They all work and they all make sense.

Being only 3 words shorter is usually pointless when you adding TL notes. Most likely viewer would need to pause the video anyway to read them.

As with names of certain creatures and moves there are times to leave it in romaji. When such a pun is being made leaving it in italics as kami and having a quick
>Kami can mean god or hair
is a far better delivery.
The intended audience does not need to know or even care about the kanji and as a subtitle it has to be concise. The main point is that "Kami" when spoken in japanese can be interpretted in more than 1 way.

>Thanks god
>TL note: god (神, kami) = hair (髪, kami)
Is a shit job. You may as well not add the TL note because it was already ruined for people by having it as "god" and it would just confuse them

To throw a homer is to deliberately fuck up trying to hit what should have been an easy home run. The batter is the one to throw a homer. Just like the expression to throw a game.

>>153766381
There is no correlation. You're just pulling it out your ass to justify it

>>153765786
Except in order to throw a homer, the ball needs to be thrown at least relatively on target. People don't hit homers when balls are thrown meters away from the strike zone.

Even if it was a relatively common saying, it's counter to what's actually happening and what was actually being said.

Fact: the only ones who are hating on TL notes are stupid newfags who have probably never even watched a fansubbed anime before.

Why is Herkz such a giant fucking retard?

>>153766509
I literally just woke up. If you don't even understand the 20 anime meme you should probably just kill yourself newshit.

>>153766279
>Picking one and explaining the other would kill the joke.
You already killed the joke with TL note. It's completely unrecoverable. It's dead. Forget about it.

>"Kami can mean god or hair" is a far better delivery.
It's not delivery, no one will ever smile after reading it. That's just plain explanation of the original joke.

>it would just confuse them
It's literally the same and it may only confuse brain dead retards. But my variant is better because if viewer misses TL note because of bad timing he will only miss the joke. He won't miss the understanding of the whole phrase.

goddamn i mean spoonfeeding is one thing, but actually telling /a/ how to think outside the box is pretty sad.

>>153766448
>t.
And you are a retarded crossboarder

>>153766531
Because he spends literally all his time shitposting on twitter while thinking he's a master of modern conversational english even though his only experience with it is twitter shitposts.

So therefore any dialogue that doesn't resemble a twitter shitpost seems unnatural and wrong

>>153766678
Why haven't you killed yourself yet?

>>153766448
I can't even understand if it's irony or just memeing.

But TL notes is indeed the product of 00s. Old ugly yellow hardsubs from 90s and 80s had almost zero TL notes.

>>153766101
Fun fact: gg translated Macross Delta last year and it had less liberties and memes than CR's Gabriel subs.

I haven't been following the sub drama, but what does Daiz have to do with CR?
I thought he works for jewcob.

>>153766648
We are hella lucky. Praise jesus

>>153766876

TL; DR:

subs are fine, funny to laugh at not to use to learn conversational japanese from unless you want to converse with slang like you are trying to be a cool kid

Daiz doesn't have anything to do with this

>>153764466
>Jokes are never funny if you don't understand them
Sure they are. Just add a laugh track and people will be amused whenever you tell them to be.

>>153766876
CR has been doing very liberal localization that is reminiscent of cartel subs. Daiz has shown up to defend CR here, while the cartel remains passive aggressive towards /a/ in their twitter hug box.

>>153766557
>You already killed the joke with TL note. It's completely unrecoverable. It's dead. Forget about it.
>It's not delivery, no one will ever smile after reading it. That's just plain explanation of the original joke.
Basically you're just projecting your own autistic ideas and lack of comedic sense.

>It's literally the same and it may only confuse brain dead retards
Yep that inability to put yourself into the shoes of a casual watcher is definitely a sign of autism. I can guarantee you people would look at
> god (神, kami) = hair (髪, kami)
and wonder how to interpret what they're seeing. But I understand your disability makes it hard for you to empathize or realize that what comes readily to mind for you doesn't happen for everyone else. Plenty of aspergers expect people to read their mind.

>>153766356
No it is t you faggot, throw a homer isn't an actual phrase.

>>153753661
ITT: people that either need to stop being fucking weeaboos or learn japanese you lazy fucks

>>153766876
Came in and said the subs were good while another show done by CR were bad subs even though those were good ones. You know CR fucked up when people other than /a/ is bitching about the subs and the cartel is desperately defending it.

>tfw ss-eclipse will never save us from this horror

>>153767036

he is thinking of the "throw" in the griefing sense, when people lose on purpose.

The throw in the subs is referring to an actual pitch.

>>153767151

it's a synonym for throwing like a girl, in a comedic sense. It's like saying I caught a fish THIIIIIIIISSSS BIG and you only hold your fingers a few inches apart. It's comedy.

>>153753661
I'm actually really surprised Gabriel Dropout's translation of all things is getting shit from the community. I've personally been enjoying it because the liberties taken make for a more entertaining script, while not being so extreme that it loses the meaning.

I have to assume some Twitter backseat fansubbing e-celeb is out there riling people up to spearhead this movement.

>>153767126

>not using the fixed subs

>>153767291
For all their trolling gg still considered themselves a "real" fansub group. They would always defend their translations as legitimate.

I think the only time they actually changed anything about the audio was Sacred Seven.

Over-localization is a slipper slope to 4Kids-tier nonsense and/or having a translator rewriting character's personalities to suit his taste. You know, like "OH MAN I REALLY LOVE THESE BURGERS" or "HEY NEP JR GRAB A BURGER AND CHILL."

Of course there's a twinge of hypocrisy in that since stupid overlocalizing faggots ended up accidentally making memes that still endure to this day because we liked them--like Barret or Phoenix Wright or Pokemon being full of JELLY DONUTS instead of onigiri. But seriously fuck off with these forced "Abrahamic references" fucking irc memebrigade subbers.

>>153767286

>put yourself into the shoes of a casual watcher

They would see this line and would be already confused as fuck because there is no word kami in english. And for completely casual viewer who doesn't even know what kanji is and how they work this "Kami - 神（god), 髪（hair)" is no less confusing as well.

I'll repeat myself again. You won't find a single book that leaves translatable words completely untranslated. You won't find a single subtitled movie that does that. You can google articles and blogs about translations and every single one of them will say it's a big no-no. It's purely product of shitty/lazy anime fan subbing.

>>153767237
i think a large part of it is them taking extremely rudimentary jap phases that even the most EOP knows by heart, and then rewriting them completely unlike any translation anyone has ever seen.

theres hardly ever been a sub that is this easy for such a large number of people to criticize.

>>153767232
You're really bending over backwards to defend a shitty translation.

You do realize the kids that said the line said something that has no legible english counter part, right? They are speaking in slang that you hear kids speak in. Try translating "that's totally whack, yo" in nip and say it to a native speaker and watch them give you a funny look.

>>153767463
People seem to have enjoyed Hidan no Aria AA well enough though. What changed?

>>153767493
Oh fucking kek you really got me bro!
It fails as a localization as well.

>>153767390
EOPs who think they're translation masters just because they've watched a few anime and nitpick about liberties have always been a blight on quality translations. Like you had people criticizing Soul Nomad's translation because they played it with their Japanese audio and it sounded like it didn't match to them. Seriously? Everything does that. It's called localization.

I guarantee you when the show gets dubbed we'll see some lines like that because guess what, that's what dubs do.

>>153767556
I can't tell you because I never watched AA. The general consensus when Hidan no Aria aired was that it was one of the most derivative and retared anime to ever be made.

>>153767584

you're absolutely right, because directly translating "that's toally whack, yo" will yield gibberish.

Which is why they have 最低 instead. It's a localization for "that sucks". Which can be liberally translated back to something like "that's totally whack, yo" if you wanted to have some comedic effort for the subs.

>>153759767
Nah, the akuma one could be done in English and be decent, the baka one needed a note. Puns and jokes can usually be translated if you're a little creative and not memeing, kanji puns and cultural references pretty much always get notes.

>>153767656
Not defending that particular show but derivative is a silly criticism considering Japanese culture is all about taking what already exists and refining it to perfection.

>>153767656
AA didn't have all that much in common with Hidan no Aria, in fact it was a decent show. I recommend giving it a try one day if you ever find yourself with too much time to spare.

>>153767671

>>153767767
Perhaps, but Hidan no Aria was worse than all that came before it. It just took the most superficial aspects of better anime.

Are you fucking retarded? We are talking about leaving words untranslated or in romaji, for example "Thanks Kami-sama". Not about adding TL notes in general. Here's the original post for retards with short memory like you - >>153765439. And no, you won't be able to provide a singleexample of licensed manga or LN that does that shit (i.e. leaves translatable words in romaji).

>>153767977
If these phrases even made any fucking sense in the first place nobody would be arguing. What the fuck does throw a homer mean? It's completely meaningless and doesn't make sense, it doesn't have any place in an English translation as it's not English.

The only fansub groups left are groups like Commie who seem to just use Google translate and then open a random Know Your Meme page and slap whatever turns up in the middle of a handful of sentences.

On rare occasions when people who actually give a shit get together and sub something, it always turns out better than anything CR/Netflix/Funi/Daisuki push out.
Hell, an N1 certified anon was involved in subbing the first Kizu movie. Compare that version to Commie's version and then try to stop yourself from mailing a box of cat shit to Herkz.

>he admits it

>>153769047
No, imbecile, those words are almost never translated (unless it's fairy tales), they are fucking names of moves/styles/weapons/etc. The main fucking difference is that they usually don't even have TL notes because translation (or actually origin) is not needed.
But we are talking about "kami" here, a completely common generic word. Save the planet from your stupidity and kill yourself.

>>153769814
It's really not.

>>153769841
We're talking about XIV so way to look like an idiot.

>>153769841
>>153769821
Literally nobody is talking about XV. The fuck are you guys smoking?

Religious discrimination as they are not talking to your God but to THE Kami-sama

Why are you so butthurt about this?

>>153768783
To THROW a homerun is a bad thing. You realize that, right? The pitcher is playing for the "defending" team on the field. The batter is from the opposing team.

>>153769876
DMT, dog

>>153769536
It's a word being used in a pun. Being put in italics for that one instance with a tl note is an acceptable course. You've already been proven wrong anon.

>>153769946
You just keep going. Like a fountain of butthurt.

>>153769967
No, the ONLY way it makes sense is to assume it's incorporating that phrase in reference to throwing the ball better

Like I said, it's retarded.

Keep repeating it, retard, and maybe it will become true. Wait, it won't.
It's not acceptable in any form. No one translates puns by putting romaji in script except for few shitty fansub groups. And you will never be able to provide a counter-example.

>>153755433
If I was a fansubber, my shitty sense of humor would compel me to use this translation a couple times in unrelated series.

>>153770081
I love it. You can't stop crying so every post I make gets a free response.

Have another friend

>>153770329
Not that guy but you can have my (You) too.

>>153770449
Thank you.

>>153770510
Thank you as well. You're all wonderful, I'd give you a kiss on the cheek if I could.

How new are you? People have been telling each other to kill themselves on here for over a decade, fuck off and kill yourself retard.

You're assuming CR gives even a single shit and isn't fine with how this is proceeding.

I want them gone entirely.

>Daiz shitposted so hard the he broke image uploads
Looks like the list needs another update.

>>153771074

>>153768936
They are entirely translatable though.
And it's not like there aren't subs that translate actual character names too.
One Piece did this with several characters, like "Dogstorm" and "Catviper".

Why does this never get old?

>>153767650
What does being a "translation master" have anything do with what >>153767390 said?
> taking extremely rudimentary jap phases that even the most EOP knows by heart, and then rewriting them completely unlike any translation anyone has ever seen.
I don't even need to be N5 in JLPT, let alone N1, to know that something is clearly wrong when itadakimasu is translated into the garbage we all saw.

The hilarious part though, is always the go-to retort from so-called "translators" towards these criticisms. The idea that complaining is forbidden because we don't know Japanese, which supposedly means we're too retarded to even have common sense.

Might as well rephrase it to
>Don't understand Japanese?
>Fuck off you dumbs shits. You don't know what you're talking about.

>>153768166
>my reply made it
>these nips are more autistic than us

>>153768166
TRANSLATE IT WEEBS!

>>153773785
Most are shitting on it, one faggot (probably a shill) is pretending it's a liberal translation that captures the feel of Vigne being a demon.

>>153768166
Gonna need someone to translatw the translated posts the blogger translated from english to japanese and translate the comments the japanese wrote about the translation the translations were from.

>>153773887
It's probably one of the cartel translators.

>>153774013
I'm sure it is, or one of those really faggy Japs who hangs out with those faggy SJW English teachers and got infected with their terminal retardation.
