Translation Parties: now featuring audio. Also, I keep getting conflicting reports on how long you want these things. So I think I’ve come up with a compromise.
The Compromise:
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. You can assume the Extended choices will average around 10 comparisons as well, effectively doubling the duration of the TL Party for you.
Could you have easily done this on your own and just decided when you wanted to stop, regardless of me telling you when it’s cool to? Sure, but then it wouldn’t be “canon” and you’d feel all awkward about it. (I know you too well.) So this is my compromise. Let me know what you think.

Commie :: So, what kind of depraved porno was my brother watching?
I can’t believe he’s looking at other women!
I call infidelity!
Even if men his age can’t help their urges,
he has no excuse for straying from his sister!
FFF :: Let’s see what kind of porn DVDs he’s been watching.
I can’t believe he’s interested in other girls.
That’s like cheating on me!
He’s young, so I understand his libido can get out of control,
but he’s dead if this isn’t guys screwing their sisters!
gg :: Let’s see what porn he’s been watching!
How dare he even look at other girls? He’s being unfaithful!
Even if he’s around {\i1}that age{\i0} now,
I still won’t approve of anything else other than incest!

and try your best to catch yourself.
You don’t abuse the Supreme God’s power,
and you even try to reject it.
That’s why someone as devilish as me thinks it’s better in your hands.
FFF :: You, on the other hand, are well aware of the trouble you cause others
and do what you can to try and minimize it.
You never abused the power of the supreme god.
In fact, you’re rejecting it, saying you don’t want it.
So being the mischievous god I am, I’ll leave it with you.

Commie :: It’s time for Apathetic Advice.
Here’s a letter from Mr. A in Tokyo.
Lately, I haven’t been able to get motivated.
All it does is make every day dull.
I feel like I’ve turned into a lazy procrastinator because the world is evil.
You understand me, right, Sasami?
Get a job, bum.
FFF :: It’s time for Lazy Counseling.
We have a letter from Mr. A from Tokyo.
“Lately, I haven’t been motivated to do anything.”
“I feel like I’ve just been lazying around.”
“I could do a good job if I tried, but I can’t bring myself to.”
“I think the world is to blame.”
“You understand how I feel, don’t you, Sasami-san?”
Stop being a baby. Get to work.
gg :: This is Unmotivated Consulting.
We have received a letter from Mr. A who lives in Tokyo.
“I can’t find the motivation to do anything lately, so I’m living like a slug.”
“I could do so much better, but I just can’t because the world is holding me back.”
“I’m sure Sasami would understand me. Right?”
Shut up and work.
to wait for Sentai’s release because these are all gibberish guesslations :: N/A. They all sucked.
THIS IS A MARKER FOR WHERE THE IMAGES END
Loading ...Which group had which line (unformatted, lazy-mode Sage):
You’re not going to get a quality experience with any of the releases for this show, but hopefully this TL Party pointed you toward one group that you could possibly stand watching.
(gg took it away for me, especially where the differences really mattered. I’ll be going with their releases from now on.)
Commie: 5
FFF: 5
gg: 10
Based on episode 1, I was not expecting these results.
Different translators = different experience?
That would explain it, but I don’t recall seeing anything on the groups’ sites about switching out TLs.
http://notredrevie.ws/2013/02/03/sasami-sanganbaranai-04-notes-and-the-like/
The same happened for episode 6.
Ah, all right. I don’t really go there, so thanks for the heads up.
Glad someone else noted this; I was just coming in here to complain about the choice of episode. I think if this was done on episode 3, Commie would score better & gg worse.
Sage, now that you know Vale TL’d ep 4, are you revising your preference of gg for this show? BTW, I quite like the new format for TL parties.
Uhh… well I guess if I know Vale’s TLing an ep, I’ll grab gg’s. Otherwise, I’ll grab FFF’s. Commie has okayish editing, but it’s run off a guesslation, so I’m gonna have to avoid that going forward. I guess on average I’ll have to settle for FFF’s unedited, low-quality English.
Could you elaborate on ‘run off a guesslation’? I’m not sure what you mean there; did I miss something that makes Commie’s TL shittier than FFF?
Sure. “My superior sisters” is a complete inaccuracy. If you remember from earlier, Tsurugi is Amaterasu and her sisters are formed from her. They are not superior to her in any sense.
“There are still realms of science that mankind must never tread upon…” is also wrong. You could get that just from the context. How Commie has it is that humans must never be allowed to travel through space. But FFF and gg say that humanity isn’t ready for it yet. That’s not a difference you should fuck up.
“Uboa’d” doesn’t appear to be a thing in the context they use it. From what I’ve read, if you’re using it as a verb, it would be the equivalent of “scaring oneself” which is completely inaccurate.
Commie thinks “the world is evil”, which is so laughably wrong it depresses me to think I recommended them in my normal reviews.
You can’t Transform a “cognizance” either. That just sounds like they threw something down to fill out space.
FFF’s English was pretty bad, but at least I can trust them to know what they’re talking about.
Ah, ok. I recognized those issues already from the watching subs, and they’re all epic fails, undeniably. There’s really no defense for most of those lines.
That said, you CAN Transform a cognizance… But since cognizance is synonymous with ‘awareness’ & ‘consciousness’ it’s fucktarded an obscure word’s secondary meaning when so many better choices exist. I mean, fuck, even if you have the vocab of an average fagsubber, Aegisub spoonfeeds you both ‘perception’ & ‘awareness’ from its thesaurus.
I would love to hear whoever wrote the Uboa line explain themselves, because I recognized that reference and knowing just confused me even more… Xythar? Maybe airco can tell me what happens in the novels to inspire such apparent nonsense.

Goddammit
Based on Essential 3, Essential 9, and Essential 10, I’m gonna recommend the “not Commie” option.
See, I’d say go with Commie over gg… I know Essential 3, 9, & 10 are epic fail for Commie, but remember gg’s TL was done by Vale — their usual TL is not this good. I actually watched gg alongside Commie for episode 4, just to see how Vale handled the show, and I preferred gg — for this episode ONLY.
At least with Commie, you’ll have consistency. Also, Xythar does the best job with the puns; Episode 3’s sanpai/zanpai –> prey/pray lines at the shrine were particularly inspired. The biggest problem is that Commie is almost a week behind right now… lazy airco =P
go with FFF. problem solved. I always keep their’s especially the BDs
I liked FFF the least, so why would I go with them?

It’s a tie between FFF and gg
Okay, this did not help much… -_- I’m keeping gg’s version. If I had only gone for the Essential parts, FFF would have “won”. But they don’t seem to be much better… I’m not watching Commie, that’s for sure.
commie a shit
Translation parties are hard to do without bias when you can tell who one of the groups are from previously watching the ep from them and who another group is when they try to do too much (or at least do more than the other groups) with characterization. Oh well.
i carnt subject-verb agreement
That’s a fair point.
I’m open to suggestions on how to mitigate that issue. I’d rather these not be Confirmation Bias Fiestas.
The only way I could see it being done is if you start on the first episode as soon as you can the day a show comes out.
How about using a single dialogue and subtitle instead of multiple dialogues.
What do you mean?
It means that when use multiple dialogues and subs it usually gives away what group it is from but if use a single dialogue and subs makes it hard to know from which group it is.
Ex: In the expanded 9 All the adult
When I saw the lines “Shuddafuckup!” “I’m a goddamn adult, for fucks sake!”
I evidently knew it was from gg but if you had single sub options like
I’m sorry, young lady, but we can only sell these to adults.
I’m sorry miss, but I can only sell these comics to adults.
I’m sorry little girl, I can only sell manga like these to adults.
no matter how recognizable the editing styles of the groups are it’s hard to tell them apart.
On a side note since translation parties now feature audio could you also throw in video clips (something down-scaled to 240p would suffice) too sometime in the future
What you suggest would seriously lessen the usefulness of TL parties. How sentences flow and play off each other is a pretty major factor when determining the quality of a script. You shouldn’t need to cater to retards who can’t account for their own biases.
Um, you realize that you may succeed in making them “hard to tell apart” by reducing options to a single sentence… But in trade, all context for the phrasing is lost, nuance & jokes are largely eliminated, and by homogenizing the choices, you simply make it even harder to pick the best out of several lines. So the whole TL party is null & void.
I didn’t really have a suggestion in mind since I just like bitching a lot. It’s an inherent issue with these sorts of comparisons when groups have recognizable editing styles, and I guess people will go for the style they like best. If you take away the characterization there isn’t really a point in doing a comparison in the first place.

Yeah… I knew that. If the God HAS A NAME, FUCKING USE IT, YOU MORONS! It’s not just some random name they made up, it’s Ama-FUCKING-terasu. Can’t wait for the actual god, Tsukuyomi to show up, let’s see FFF and Commie fuck that up. And since they call Amaterasu the “Supreme God”, what will they call Susanoo, since he’s showing up soon?
Those are some pretty heathen sounding names. Can’t have that in a Christian fansub.
Maybe it’s just me but I didn’t hear them actually say “Amaterasu”, (the name of the god, if that really is the god’s name), in that line.
How amusing that someone who claims to be a translator complains a word was not used which nobody ever said to begin with.
I know, right?
Oh, maybe he has Amaterasu-like hearing that he heard a word that ain’t spoken.
You’re all kidding me, right? You HAVE to be all kidding me, right? Or… was there some OTHER god to whom Izanagi and Izanami gave authority over Japan? Here’s a clue: watch episode 3, when you hear the words “Amaterasu no okami” aroun d 15:30, stop, and slap yourself in the face.
Oh, I’m sorry. I got confused and was arguing with you guys for the completely wrong reason. You’re right, I’m wrong. I didn’t mean to say that they said the Gods name in that line, because she did say “Ultimate/Supreme God”. My bad.
And there you got my fear up that localised translations started to go “full-retarded-modo” and localise personal names. So I can start to breath again and don’t have to fear getting Tourma translated to Bill and Misaka to Samantha, next season.

I’d say that’s pretty conclusive.
When it comes to comedy anime GG is usally the best choice with their liberal translations.
And when gg has the LEAST localized script, you know you’re in trouble.

Extended:

I guess that evens the score between FFF and gg a bit. As a point of interest, 19 was the only one where I thought all three choices were fine, so I checked them all. Pointless perhaps, but I didn’t want to put N/A.

Normally, I like cursing in fansubs, but gg took it way too far, imo. But for me, this was totally a Confirmation Bias Fiesta. I’ve been watching FFF’s releases the whole time and didn’t see any reason to consider switching. For the record, I thought Commie’s was terrible.
Dayum, dat audio feature changes everything.

It’s a tie between Commie and FFF
Commie seemed to use the more literal translations than liberal of the three while FFF was a mix between literal and liberal.
If you couldn’t tell by my results, I clearly prefer literal subs. gg is far too unnecessarily liberal for me.
Commie seemed to use more literal translations*
Commie: Literal, failed attempts at liberal and has some awkward lines.
FFF: A good mix between literal and liberal. I think they shined where it mattered.
gg: Do you like liberal subs and don’t mind their risks/disadvantages (loss of details that may or may not matter later on, completely changing a characters character and meaning of a sentence, etc.)? then gg is for you!
This is all just my personal opinion ╮ (. ❛ ᴗ ❛.) ╭
Commie — last bastion of literalsubs.
Chose Commie for Essential 5 simply because I love literal subs. But Commie crash hard just about most of the lines. Unless Dark Sage’s just being biased, I’m gonna stick with FF for this (｀・ω・´)”

But then, I already knew that. In fact, every translation party so far has had the victor I thought it would. But I’d assumed any dalliances would’ve been in Commie’s favor, not FFF’s. This is slightly challenging my preconceptions
I thought about including the lines where gg had “moe” and the other groups translated it to other stuff, but the differences weren’t pronounced enough to warrant inclusion in the party. There were some other weird differences too. For example, FFF had a lot more swearing than I was expecting.
My weebdar totally missed FFF translating “moe” when I watched this episode. I wasted a golden opportunity to make angry posts about the evils of localized anime. I’m a little bit upset about this.
Not sure if there’s any particular way for you to deal with the confirmation bias issue. TL parties take a certain amount of effort, so I don’t see how you could possibly be expected to get one out within hours of a new episode, particularly when some of the groups might vary wildly in release time. If anything the opposite strategy might be the way to go: do a TL party for an older episode, hope people will have forgotten the exact lines in general.
Also, FWIW I agree with 3173: the audio is definitely a major improvement to the format. It’s doubly helpful in fact, in that it both provides immediate context (allowing the translation itself to be judged a bit more clearly), and does that without necessitating opening up whatever group was chosen for that ep and in turn perhaps being reminded what their line was.
The “essential/extended” split is also sugoi deshou. The only entity in this review that gets a 10/10 is D_S.
What ever happened to releasing The Unlimited today? noticed that you deleted the article saying you’d release it today.
It’s still coming. I just decided to piss away my time on Catherine.

Just as expected.
I like gg’s translations because they align perfectly with the audio when it comes to flow and intonation – this is common for pretty much all their recent releases. I understand Japanese and a too liberal translation (the sort of ‘adapting to English’ WhineSubs does for the regular non-funny Unlimited sub track) throws me right out of the show.
Once again, I don’t watch this show.

If I actually watched the show, I might have more appreciation for gg’s release, but I doubt the extent to which I’d change my opinion because it seems that I clearly prefer FFF’s editing choices. I tried to avoid choosing “they all sucked” whenever possible.
Fuck. I’m drunk and could have presented myself better here.
