like to go shopping for clothes with me.

But those are all uniforms.

Have you heard the rumors about the crêpes from Seaside Park?

If you share a mixed berry crêpe with your date,
you’ll become true lovers!
>For real?
>I hear it’s always sold out, though.

Commie :: Nobody move!
Shut the fuck up!
We have you surrounded!
Surrender now, and you will not be harmed.
Bring us a car if you want to see the hostages unharmed!
And you’d better not follow us or put a tracking device on it!
Fuck the police!
FFF :: Everyone freeze!
Shut the fuck up!
You’re already surrounded!
Just turn yourselves in without resistance. I repeat—
Get me a car if you don’t want me to put a bullet in each one of these hostages’ heads!
And don’t even think about sticking a tracking device on it!
They’re scared shitless!
Hatsuyuki :: Nobody move!

One strawberry and one blueberry please.

Commie :: Laura, you’re just too adorable!
>Don’t hold me like that! It’s hard to move!
Now, now. You’re a cat, so you need to sit quietly on my lap.
Can you say “meow” for me?
FFF :: Laura, you look simply amazing in that!
>Don’t hold me like that! I can’t move at all!
Stop it. You’re a cat,
so you need to be good and sit still on my lap.
Can I get just one “meow”?
Hatsuyuki :: Laura, you look so good in it!
>Don’t hold me like that! It’s hard to move!
Stop it. You’re a cat,
so you need to sit still on my lap.
Can you just say “nyan”?

Decision Point:
- Holy fucking shit, Dark_Sage. Give me more comparisons. I fucking live for this! (Put the knife down and click the spoiler. We got ten more comparisons for ya.)
- Oh my god, put a bullet in my head. When is this shit gonna be over with already? (You’ve seen enough for one lifetime. Head down to the results.)
THIS IS A MARKER FOR WHERE THE IMAGES END
Which group had which line (unformatted, lazy-mode Sage):
On Essential 6, shouldn’t it be
What do you think?
I changed into my casualwear.
>Even your casualwear is a uniform, huh?
instead? The first two lines are from Germany.
Probably. I’m in bed now so I’ll fix it when I wake.

Surprising…
Think I’ll stick with FFF, though. If only to avoid lines like “Fuck the police!”

Skipped two items because they were too similar.
Another streaming script buttraped by Commie, with many QUALITY edits:
Essential 03:
Milady -> My lady (It seems they never heard the word “Milady”.)
They threw away “At the end of the day” and “under the same sky”. If you’ve got the attention span of an ant, you can’t have sentences that are too long.
Essential 05:
“That’s called a military uniform.” -> “I meant something other than a uniform.”
Essential 07:
rumor -> rumors, crepe -> crepes (yeah right, there are certainly LOTS of rumors about LOTS of crepes right there. Sheer idiocy.)
They threw away “Supposedly”, so the rumor suddenly became a fact.
Essential 08:
Shut up -> Shut the fuck up! (Hooray for added expletives!)
The hostages aren’t “released” anymore if the goombas get their car, just unharmed. This gives the false impression that they want to take the hostages along.
They’re scared -> Fuck the police (The hostages being scared was dropped in favor of adding more expletives.)
Just plain awful, and there we’ve only touched a few sentences. I better don’t take a look at the Expanded items, much less an entire episode. I doubt I could handle the resulting brainpain.
>seems they never heard the word
>better don’t take a look
Can’t really tell whether or not you actually know English. And you kinda seem to be jumping on the Commie hate train, since for the sentences you chose to gripe about, FFF was pretty similar and it looks like Hatsuyuki barely edited HS…
And other than “fuck the police” (eh, I laughed) I’d argue the other lines are okay.
Just wondering since I’ve never come across a “lady” in real life…
Do people say “milady” in real life these days?
If you’re British, and maybe a butler. In any other instance, you’re a tryhard wannabe for “I learned ye old english! Time to show everyone how hipster I am!” Also for eotena.
I sometimes wonder why D_S even gives commie a chance when it should be obvious that no one else will

Guess Hatsuyuki is okay since the two were pretty much the same. Not watching everything with HorribleSubs this season, after all… maybe next season…

Essential 4. FFF and HorribleSubs are the only ones that sound right
Essential 5. FFF and HorribleSubs are the only ones with an interruption. Elipses are for a different purpose.
Essential 7. True love? It says “Koi ga kanau” love will come true not true love…
Essential 8. Again, it says “hitojichi wo kaihou shitetara” says nothing about actually shooting them… Commie, stop putting your own twist on things…
I’m biased against Commie having played TERA with them, but seriously, they do need to stop changing what’s actually said and stick to the script.
