Anime-Koi :: Honestly! You’re gonna be late right at the start of a new school term.
HorribleSubs :: Honestly! Aren’t you going to be late? And the new term just started!
Watakushi :: Geez… Aren’t you being late right from the start of the new school term?

Essential 2.
Gotta love exposition via characters who are so mentally fucked they have to recite the profiles of everyone they meet. “This is the baker: he bakes the bread I eat. I love the baker.”
Come on Japan, you can do better than this.

Anime-Koi :: Yumihara Hina.
She’s a returnee from abroad,
who came back to Japan in April and enrolled at this high school.
That’s all I know,
but she keeps acting kind of cold towards me, or maybe stiff and formal.
Did I do something to her?
HorribleSubs :: Hina Yumihara.
She’s a returnee from abroad,
who came back to Japan in April and enrolled at this high school.
That’s about all I know,
but she keeps acting kind of cold towards me, or maybe stiff and formal.
Did I do something to her?
Watakushi :: Yumihara Hina.
She returned to Japan in April, so she’s a returnee, who entered this school.
I don’t know the details, but I’d say she’s a bit cold towards me, or distant, rather.
Did I do anything bad to her?

Just give me another Geass, fuck. I’m losing brain cells with every “herp derp I’m incapable of reading social situations so that makes me attractive to everyone” MC that Japan shits on us.

Anime-Koi :: Why can’t I hit him?!
The targeting information isn’t precise enough?
Do I need to manually aim it?
HorribleSubs :: I can’t hit him! Why not?!
The targeting information isn’t precise enough?!
So it requires line of sight!
Watakushi :: Why isn’t it hitting him?!
The recognition system is way too imprecise?
I need to target it manually?

2014 – Every browser supports native vorbis playback. Why you still waste your time with shit external .mp3 player (is sounds bad)? Just out of curiosity
I went with mp3 because that’s what the extension I found works with. If you have a different format preference, do let me know, but also realize I need a WordPress extension for it since WordPress does not properly support audio playback natively.

I edited A-K version so no surprise, but I wasn’t necessarily happy with some of the changes I made, though I did like some of them. Also, I was told that this was an original TL, but it ended up being a “FUNi” edit to my surprise when I decided to compare the scripts. I was pretty annoyed when I compared the scripts side by side later on. Anyways, episode 2+ will be original so I’ll be ready to get teared apart.
>edited A-K
>teared apart
Top lel. You “should of” just stuck to being a leecher.
Torn apart*. Whatever, I make simple mistakes as well, or am I to assume that you don’t either?

Usually with results that close I’d just go with HS, but it’s a Funi rip, isn’t it? I guess Anime-Koi isn’t so bad.

It’s a tie between Anime-Koi, HorribleSubs, and Watakushi
FML. But hey, that means I don’t have to watch this shitty show with equally shitty subs, doesn’t it?
It’s like they’re doing you a favor. Well done, translation teams!
Maybe the work of commie fansub should be added here?
Too late for that now. Since he did this before Commie even said anything about doing the show, they won’t be added. He’ll just do a normal review (If he even gets to it.)
