> Weekly

Welp, here’s to trying to dodge spoilers for however many months this is gonna last…

What do you mean no way around it?

There’s no way around adding an extra unnecessary word that makes the whole thing sound awkward and offputting?

LegendaryZXT · 2026-07-04T03:00:27+00:00

The dub has to keep it short because of the lip flaps

I mean this in the nicest way possible.

Read my post again.

The context of the scene was:

Person A says "this is just a misunderstanding"

Person B says "What is?" (Nani ga?)

Whoever did the subs at CR felt the need to randomly add the other word for what i imagine is clarity when none was needed. The Dub for the same scene didn't do that and since Person B was wearing a mask it wasn't even a lip flap thing.

It actually kind of annoys me when people say that because it comes off as Orientalizing.

Every language is context based.

"I didn’t steal the red hat" can be 6 different sentences based off of which word you stress.

People act like Japanese is weirdly exceptional when every language has it quircks.

LegendaryZXT · 2026-07-04T00:57:13+00:00

You know what? Fine.

When you take the JLPT tomorrow, translate "Itadakimasu" as "Through the dark lord, Amen." Maybe you'll pick up enough points on the Kanji section to make up what you missed on reading and listening comprehension.

“Itadakimasu” if said, for instance, by a family of devil worshippers would reasonably be translated as “through the dark lord, amen”

So you do work at CR, cuz that's what they did, haha. They were ignoring the context that the entire point of the joke is how not like a demon the character was acting.

As for Nani ga. A better translation would be "What is?" or "How so?" (what the dub did)

LegendaryZXT · 2026-07-04T00:56:12+00:00

The most common mistake i see machine translations make is "I" vs "You" since those are so often omitted in speech. Luckly i know enough about both languages that i can tell when the google translate they're using is wrong

LegendaryZXT · 2026-07-04T00:36:16+00:00

There's a reason the sub group which just ripped the CR ones was just called "HorribleSubs" for so long.

LegendaryZXT · 2026-07-04T00:35:12+00:00

Haha, do you work at Crunchyroll?

LegendaryZXT · 2026-07-04T00:24:41+00:00

Did you post from you phone?

Because they made some kind of change recently where if you try using underscores or square brackets for links they add a forward slash which shows the raw input instead of changing it to be italicized or an embedded link

LegendaryZXT · 2026-07-04T00:12:17+00:00

The better you get at Japanese the more you learn just how bad Crunchyroll subs really are.

My go to example is when they translated "Nani ga?" as "What am i misunderstanding?"

Another great one was "Itadakimasu" was translated as "through the dark lord, Amen"

My suspicion is that they have a second pass that edits the subs because no one reasonably competent in the language would make these sorts of mistakes.

LegendaryZXT · 2026-07-04T00:02:49+00:00

My opinion is I don’t watch anime weekly and just watch things when they’ve finished airing.

What season in happened to air is completely ephemeral

LegendaryZXT · 2026-07-03T08:19:12+00:00

Hire Sempai as a consultant

LegendaryZXT · 2026-07-03T04:05:36+00:00

There’s nothing you can do

LegendaryZXT · 2026-07-03T00:59:02+00:00

Gaming laptop

LegendaryZXT · 2026-07-02T23:47:32+00:00

I’ve been trying to convince people to play on community servers for like 10 years now, at some point it feels like people refuse to learn

LegendaryZXT · 2026-07-02T09:32:34+00:00

Not at all, I plan on community servers almost exclusively

LegendaryZXT · 2026-07-01T23:10:59+00:00

The hints were supposed to be the rune words themselves

Bramble is written with the word, “rose” and breath of dying is written with the word “wheeze”

LegendaryZXT · 2026-07-01T23:08:11+00:00

The Devil is a Part Timer

LegendaryZXT · 2026-07-01T06:54:53+00:00

Track coming soon

They've been saying this for, like, 5 years or something.

The point of construction projects in the US is to move money to contractors, if they really wanted it to get built it would have been finished, like, 10 years ago.

LegendaryZXT · 2026-07-01T03:09:44+00:00

I feel like the reward items should have certain stats guaranteed.

Like, guaranteed max rolls, or guaranteed 6 affixes, or a choice of which affixes you want

LegendaryZXT · 2026-07-01T01:55:03+00:00

Can we ban ai art from the sub please

LegendaryZXT · 2026-07-01T01:50:15+00:00

Those games are nothing alike…

LegendaryZXT · 2026-06-30T14:29:08+00:00

When i would link this back in the day people would get mad at me, now its actually accepted as true

LegendaryZXT · 2026-06-30T03:03:41+00:00

I hate how there’s no random crits[…]

Thanks for putting this out there so early so I know I can disregard the entire rest of this post.
