Are you dagnabbit mad?
>People actually pay for these translations
Thats clearly a photoshop, move on people.
>>159029563
I hope this isn't what they did. You can make 'platinum mad' work in english by relating it to prolific albums going platinum. I read the kizu and bake 1-3 translations and they were mostly ok but instances like this really drop the ball.
>>159030898
Subbing pedo for lolicon was pretty shit
>>159030898
>>159029591
It's real
>>159029563
I am diamond mad
>>159030898
But it doesn't have the same connotations, it doesn't convey the same meaning.
Relating it to records would imply that she's very upset, when she's only a little upset.
>>159031087
Weird change considering they talk about the difference between pedo and lolicon in the book. Did they edit that out?
>dagnabbit
Skeehee is platinum cute!
>>159029563
I'm dangnabbit mad that Owarimonogatari 2 is only going to be a special.
>>159032001
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2017-06-27/new-owarimonogatari-tv-anime-is-two-day-special/.118075
August? You're goddamn right I'm dagnabbit mad.
>>159032001
Way to ruin my life anon
>>159029563
Wow.
>>159032438
How long is it going to be?
>>159032438
Does that mean there won't be Ougi Dark?
>>159033285
I think it will be, donĀ“t know how they would distribute the airtime though.
>>159032001
>>159032438
Not sure what to think of this until we know more about the format/runtime. I did have doubts about it being an entire cour, there's not enough in Owari vol. 3 alone for that unless they really fucking stretched out those Gaen monologues or something.
I never considered for once they would change it, especially when this already exists, though I suppose they're completely independent of each other.
>>159033496
Mayoi deck too OP, pls nerf. How can be I expected to run a Waifu deck if my opponent can just throw down Real Fight and fuck my shit up?
>>159029563
Let it be a reminder to you that the people who license Japanese media don't care at all about the fandom and culture of it. How much must you despise the otakudom not to even check if a catch frase is a catch frase? How much must you despise it?
And now with the crunchy roll and such translations English speaking world will see less and less of quality content, all will be licensed and you will get sued for even trying to fix their mistakes. You'll see localization of names - Araragi? more like Arnold - that's your future. The "sensitive" content, 'culturally alien fan service" all will be censored to pander to mainstream Anglo morality. And the authors will sooner or later self censor wich will be effectively the death of our beloved medium.
I wish anime never got so popular.
>ib4 hypocrite
>>159030898
Kizu and Bake had a different translator who also apparently was recommended by Nisio himself. Nise is translated by some other guy who seems to have no idea about the franchise
>>159033351
Probably going to be about 4 episodes on the first day for Mayoi Hell and Hitagi Rendevouz and 4 or so on the next day for Ougi Dark
I'm mad that probably means we won't get three OPs
Well, time to learn Moonspeak. Seems like the only way to consume Japanese media properly. Is DJT a good start?
>>159033958
Until the BDs at least
>>159033958
I bet they'll give the only OP to Crab just to add insult to injury.
I've been dagnabbit mad since they decided to use abberations instead of oddities
>>159032001
>>159032438
Well that's disappointing
>>159034300
Are Shaft crabfags or something?
>>159034492
She's technically still considered the "main heroine."
>>159032438
Why do they fuck with people like that?
>owari s2, its going to have 13-26 episodes!!!!
>just kidding its nothing
Are japs insane?
>>159034550
>26 episodes
I don't think anyone thought it would be that many, Hitagi Rendezvous is barely long enough for two episodes. Still pretty disappointing
When is Araragi going to marry Cat?
>>159035483
He already did. In her dreams.
>>159032001
>>159032438
so it's mayoi hell + hitagi rendezvous one day and ougi dark the next?
I hope they're longer than a 25 mins
>>159033390
>unless they really fucking stretched out those Gaen monologues or something
Please no, Gaen is already annoying enough just by being here.
>>159034550
Where was it ever actually officially stated that there would be anything like that?
>>159036176
It doesn't say anything about episode count or length. Could be 2 hour long episodes though.
>>159036450
"season 2"
Season implies 13 episodes.
>>159036576
Season like Monogatari: Second Season?
>>159036576
The first season were two different shows, one OVA and three films. Second season is not the second season at all and final season is not the last one. You should stop trusting nips
>>159036576
Where is the official source for that? I'm thinking people just assumed that was what it would be without it ever being stated and it was repeated enough that people believe it is as fact as so often happens here.
>>159029563
Who do I write to to complain about this shit?
How is the overall translation from Nise?
I've read the kizu and bake books and they were very good.
If the new translator is really I'm competent I'm very disappointed.
>>159036868
If all the english speaking sources use the word "owarimonogatari s2" then everyone who cant speak japanese are going to assume its a season 2.
Is there an "official" english source at all? I dont think so.
>>159032438
It wasn't supposed to be like this.
>>159037121
https://twitter.com/nisioisin_anime/status/845433876730175489
The official twitter never mentioned a season just says that there is a new TV anime broadcasting this summer and in July there is a rebroadcasting.
ANN didn't go so far as to call it a season.
https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2017-03-24/new-owarimonogatari-anime-adapts-3rd-novel-volume-in-summer/.113910
Crunchyroll does though even though there is no real basis for calling it that.
http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2017/03/25-1/owarimonogatari-anime-season-2-scheduled-for-summer-2017
That is western anime "journalism" for you though.
>>159036902
You could try Vertical's twitter or writing the translator directly.
>>159037360
Id say even then its Shafts fault for not caring at all about western audiences.
The youtube pv was region locked to japan and the dailymotion video embedded on ANN article said "s2"
>>159037595
Youtube PVs are region locked most of the time for whatever reason
>>159037595
The only peoples fault it is are those that mistranslated or made false assumptions. SHAFT hasn't mislead you to think its a full cour because someone spread misinformation which western press repeated that you happened to believe. Just take it as a lesson and be more sceptical about the shit that "news" sources like ANN and Crunchyroll post.
If you look at something like Kemono Friends for example they still call that an adaptation of a mobile game created by Nexon when anybody following the series, reading the Japanese interviews with the people involved with the project and doing their research knows that it was a multimedia project conceived by Kadokawa that Nexon have no ownership or involvement with. That much is public knowledge to many western fans but they still repeat the same garbage. Take anything those sites say with a grain of salt.
>>159029563
I'm way past dagnabbit mad, I'm goldarnit mad
>>159032438
Well, if they did a part that was the length of each of the other specials on each day then it would work out great at effectively 8 episodes.
>>159034304
"Aberration" sounds cooler though.
Who the fuck is in charge of translating these even.
>>159038557
The cover says that a James Balzer is responsible for this.
>>159038557
For reference, Ko Ransom did Kizu.
Dagnabbit Disco is my favourite Monogatari OP.
>>159038614
I like Balzer's writing a little better in general. Though Ransom pulls through well in the really tricky translations which are everywhere in the series.
>>159029563
>"color me dagnabbed"
This isn't even funny, just infuriating.
>>159038557
I assume whoever did this isn't actually a fan of the series and doesn't really give a fuck. Just some professional translator paid to translate who didn't do a great job of researching it.
>>159038675
I haven't read Bake or Nise yet, but will be having a look at Vertical's translation of Zaregoto. I read the fan one a few years ago.
So is ragi's police office harem never getting animated?
>>159038761
Just googling Nisemonogatari or Tsukihi would've probably been enough, this is embarassing
>>159034000
DJT isn't bad, but it's certainly been downhill since they were chased out of /a/ by retards.
The situation is not quite as bad as with the sadpanda thread, though.
While we are on the topic: How did the buyfag thread manage to stay on /a/?
>>159038895
It just seems like if you are a professional translator for this kind of stuff you would at least want to see what the existing translations use and the fanbase of the material are used to when you come across something that is nonsense like that instead of just making up something entirely new.
>>159032001
>>159032503
>>159034446
Don't you Monogatari bloodsuckers have enough already? holy fuck. It's not like Shaft will stop sucking Nisio's dick anytime soon anyway.
>>159038949
They took the guide out of the OP until the panic died down.
>>159039053
It's not like Shaft has anything better to work on.
Why the hell did they switch translators? Ko seemed to be doing a pretty good job with Kizu and Bake.
>>159039053
They might though, it will get much riskier to adapt after zoku. But considering the market even if it drops as low as 10k it will still be top 3 seller of any season.
>>159038761
>>159038895
>>159039013
What is there even to "translate"?
She literally says "purachina (mukatsuku)".
That's like retranslating "kindergarten" as Kleinkindaufbewahrungsstelle.
>>159039168
3 month release schedule is too much for 1 translator
>>159039168
It's an additional translator. Not a replacement translator.
>>159039209
It is one of those "liberal" translations gone wrong I think. The translators seems to have thought "What is a nonsense term that people might use for being mad in English that I can put there".
>>159033889
Fuckkkkkkkkkk
Anyone have the old Bake-Tsuki translations?
>>159031954
fucking worst girl, snek bully
>>159039298
So when/where do we get Ko back?
>>159039460
Neko Black
>>159039360
Not even Nadeko's lies could make it look like Tsukihi wasn't sincerely trying to act in her best interest.
I would much rather have slower translations than them trying to rush these books out.
>>159039360
No one likes snake anyways.
>>159039337
Nise was never translated, we're stuck with this
>>159039531
>tries to get Koyomi to spent more time with her
>the only person who remembered Nadeko's birthday but went out so she could spent some time alone with Koyomi
>would have supported her love even though she sees Gahara as the perfect fit for her brother
>visits her every day after the Koi
>helps Nadeko with manga project
>prays that she will feel better soon
>literally dies to some stupid shit Nadeko drew
Tsukihi is a way better friend then that murderer deserves
>>159040029
>>literally dies to some stupid shit Nadeko drew
Wait when
also >spoilers
>>159040074Tsukihi finds out that Yotsugi is alive in Tsukihi Undo. Doll pretends to be magical girl, let's snek draw the slug Kaiki used on her as an opponent. Birb and Doll face of against monster slug, birb pushes doll out of the way and dies to slug. Both then get saved by god MayoiAlright, that one wasn't completly Nadeko's fault but still
>people care about adaptations
They're shit though, Shinbo's style was tolerable in Bake but late series just butchered the source and cut everything important, not to mention lack of expressions. Oishi's take on Kizu isn't that bad though.
>>159040029
>the only person who remembered Nadeko's birthday but went out so she could spent some time alone with Koyomi
Koyomi himself did remember too. He just wished he was spending the day with his girlfriend or whatever instead, he threw that party out of his own will though because he does(/did?) consider Nadeko to be his friend.
>>159040404
Bake cuts stuff out too. Nadeko Snake's probably one of the more 'butchered' arcs in the anime as far as cut scenes/dialogue is concerned.
>>159040404
Bake is directed by Oishi essentially. The rest of the series is directed by Tomoyuki Itamura. It's all the same though really Shinbo is Chief Director even though its credited slightly different on Bake then the actual director works under him.
>>159032001
It's better that way, Shaft is still probably on fire
>>159041524
what how is it better though?
im sure they have enough material for a half season
>>159038764
Vertical just had it retitled and revised, so I don't think a whole lot would change
>>159041812
I was referring to the fact that they have a two-cour series in the Fall, Fate in the Winter, and that they're still not done with Zaregoto. I'm even surprised they could do something else, to be honest. Also, the special will essentially be a half season. It works out better though because having it all at once is nice.
>>159042067
>>159041812
Not to mention their film in August with the Crab lookalike.
>>159039269
>>159029563
>there are people who will unironically defend this
>>159042067
> Also, the special will essentially be a half season
well they didin't say anything about the lenght so for all we know it could just be 2 20-30 minute OVA's
>>159042160
Well, color me dagnabbited
>>159042160
Dagnam them!
>>159038557
>Who the fuck is in charge of translating these even.
Elmer Fudd.
>>159042196
More like two hours or so
>>159042262
He is right that it doesn't specifically say that anywhere but I would think they would at least be two 60 minute episodes if they are doing it as specials. So around half a season.
>>159032001
>>159032438
I'm actually upset
>>159029563
i like this show, but there's so much dialogue that it tires me out
>>159042196
Mayoi Hell would work with 2-3 episodes, and you could probably squeeze Hitagi Rendezvous into a single episode if you had to, seeing as it's a good place to conclude Part 1.
If they don't end Part 1 with Kimi no Shiranai Monogatari, we riot.
>>159029563
I thought changing "moe" and "tore" to "melt" and "smelt" was alright, but this is just too far.
>>159033838
Fan translation is alreday seeing a ressurgance to fix Crunchyroll's mistakes in series where terminology is key to understanding the plot and characters (Durarara X2, Kiznaiver, Occultic;Nine, etc). Maybe it'll become as prolific as in the late 00s again if this keeps up.
>>159038507
It's clunkier to imagine a character saying, it isn't used by the fanbase, and the original Japanese word "kaii" isn't meant to be cool, since it literally just means "a strange thing". It sounds far more common and bare than any single word English translation could.
>>159045925
A word used to talk about supernatural monsters isn't commonplace? Stop the presses!
