Side note: It’s “Mahiro”, not Mashiro. I know you don’t like the show (for some strange reason), but come on now.
Well his name’s Mashiro now.
lol I think the name ‘Mashiro’ is exclusive to girls only.
Well sucks to be him then. I’m too lazy to change my post, so he’s just gonna have to get his name changed in the canon.

Yup, Commie handled this the best though I’m quite surprised that D_S didn’t hit FFF once. Were they that bad?
Well, I might’ve hit them if I did the Expanded part here, but I didn’t bother.
FFF’s problem is that they did a really half-assed edit. There wasn’t much to distinguish their release from the HorribleSubs one, whereas Commie at least tried to make it watchable.
That explains it. They scored a couple of points in the Expanded section. Just to make sure I get a conclusive result I always do the expanded section as well.

So three wins for Commie, one for the subgroup formerly known as FFFPeeps, and one for Doki, huh?
Only one group had a script that made any sense, according to those options :o
Went through all the essentials and there’s… honestly not much to decide on. When CR had it wrong, all the groups had it wrong, regardless of the editing. When CR had it right, all the groups were similar enough that I had little preference.
I watched the episode yesterday on CR and some of the lines were different, so I’m pretty sure they updated the script a bit (plenty of errors left, though they fixed “general elections”).
Though in essential 3, the “be with you 24/7” should be in quotes (maybe capitalized), since it’s a reference to the first season’s ending theme.

I’d say that is pretty conclusive. What’s with all these lazy CR edits lately though?
I didn’t like much of any of them, but holy shit. FFF failed miserably here, I hope their editor had the flu or something because how they could possibly think the CR edit was good enough to keep on so many of these lines is beyond me. Attuned to current fads and bodies”? “The skin showing is the same”? What the fuck, I know most of CR’s translators are at least semi-retarded but this is a hack job even by their standards.
But… But I found out about this show through Crymore ;;. It’s not that bad.

Hadena is a blunder all of the time, so it’s easy to be critical of them based on a test like this, it’s not the same for Commie, though. They are consistently decent, except for when they fuck up in an abhorrent fashion.
