Opening. Since all Commie had to do was match the Japanese lines to blend in, their standard English-only approach proved rather successful.
Rating: Okay+.

Ending. It’s the same as the OP. Children’s shows are where Commie truly shines.
Rating: Okay+.

They’re both saying the line at the same time. So while it makes sense for Ami to say “You did it!” (because Rei’s the one who beat the game), it doesn’t make sense for Rei to say the same thing. Either use a generic term of excitement (Hooray! Yes! etc.) or change this to “We did it!”

Uhh, no. She doesn’t reflect the moonlight onto the possessed Princess D, she reflects it onto the Youma monster floating above Princess D.
Close, though.

A storm’s coming, you mean. Your line doesn’t work unless she’s referring to a specific storm, which she’s not. This is simple foreshadowing; get it right.
Dark_Sage Says
Watchability: Watchable.
Visual grade: C
Script grade: B+
Overall grade: B
Commie somehow survived the Syndicate’s brutal attack and in the process claimed Sailor Moon in the name of Nyaa. Victory: Cartel.
Go with Commie for SMC, cuz the alternative is about the same as sticking your hand in a garbage disposal for 24 minutes and hoping it’s turned off.
Saving SMC from shitty subs… Not that I watch it.
Wow, that’s a really impressive amount of typesetting!
>His typesetting is truly art.
I came from his masterpiece.
I was wondering if that line was sarcastic. Now i Know.
If Commie is my best choice I will just do what I usually do, not watch the show.
I’d offer you an alternative option but there’s honestly nothing even close to their release, even with someone like herkz on typesetting duties.
Is there a legitimate reason for this? Or just >muh honorifiks?
Too many years of troll subs, simple as that. I even replaced old shows I had subbed by them.
Except not every show they do has troll subs. I doubt Xythar would put up with trolling in a show he edited.
Commie tries to localize things, but they absolutely suck at it. That’s my biggest gripe with them.
Again, it depends on who from commie is editing. Xythar’s scripts are usually pretty good, as we can see here, but they definitely have some editors who aren’t nearly as capable.
When Xythar actually gives two shits about a show he does it as Vivid not Commie.
Funny, since he seemed to care enough about this show to give the official scripts a pretty good unfucking.
We may not be the hero you think you deserve, but we’re the only hero you will ever have.
Commie is shit, though. You’re not a hero; you’re a slightly less evil villain. You shouldn’t let being better than Doki go to your head too much, Commie song TL.

Come now, they have defeated all of Hatsuyuki, Doki, and Chihiro – the greatest powers of the mighty fansub syndicate. That is something to be proud of.

WADAFAQ SO MANY REVIEWZ
i’m lovin’ it.
It’s pretty great.
I wish D_S did the ‘review every 30 minutes’ thing more often. He’d finish reviewing a season of anime before the third week.
This kills the D_S.

This produces con posts.
Speaking of con posts, AN2014 weekend posts are the new hyobu.
Don’t even bother reviewing the Baaro sub; we dropped the show after episode 4 because Crunchy started editing Nico-Nico’s translations and making them watchable, and because of this episode 4 is barely edited at all.
Yeah, had planned to put y’all in right after the Chihiro review as a surprise, but since there were so few edits, I just disq’d it straight up.
Good to hear Crunchy decided to stop lazing around.
Guess you’re not reviewing Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun or Barakamon.
Nozaki-kun literally murdered two fansubbing groups.
Both for the same reason- Editors.
Was it really that bad of a show?
I guess that makes Nozaki-kun the only show that managed to amuse me only after I dropped it.
