1. Translation Parties are intended to help you make the best subtitle choice for a given anime. Choose which line(s) you liked best by selecting them with the checkbox.

2. 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.

3. If you didn’t like any of the lines, choose the “N/A” option. The results for “N/A” won’t be automatically tabulated, so you’ll have to do the math in your head. Have my gomens and nasais.

4. A “>” indicates that another character has begun speaking. If there are three characters in a line comparison, I will indicate the third with a “>>” and so on for more characters.

5. Group order is randomized for each screenshot, every time you refresh the page. However, the “N/A” option will always appear at the bottom of the screen.

6. Your results will be summed up when you click the “Get your results” button. Feel free to vote in the poll at the end/post in the comments to let others know how you did and to compare your results with them.

7. Party hard.

I cannot hide it! My father is the owner!
And one day, I’ll turn it into the world’s top snack manufacturer!
>That’s our TV, isn’t it?

Doki-Chihiro :: That’s right.

It’s my father’s company, to be frank with you.
And someday, I, Shidare Hotaru, will open the world’s finest sweets manufacturer–!

In other words, I want you to create amazing combos and try to satisfy me!
>She’s acting like the last boss in some game.

Doki-Chihiro :: And so, I want to know what kind of combinations you can think of.
In other words, satisfy me with the best combination you can think of.

Expanded 3.

An unfortunate attraction.

Audio:

Commie :: I…
I’m in love with…
>H-Hotaru?
Yes, I’m in love…
…with Pochi!
He’s totally my type!
>>Oh my, you cougar!
>>What a surprise!
Isn’t he just adorbs?
With that sailor uniform and tongue sticking out!

Doki-Chihiro :: The one I’ve fallen for…
>H-Hotaru-san?
That’s right.
It’s Pocchi-kun.
He’s just my type of guy!
>>Eh? Him?
>>I never would have guessed!
Isn’t he just too cute?!
His smile! And the way he sticks his tongue out!

Funimation :: The one… I’m in love with is…
>H-Hotaru?
That’s right. Pocchi is my type… big time.
>>What? That’s your type? I didn’t expect that.
His sailor suit and the way he sticks his tongue out are super cute, right?!

Mori :: The person…
The person I like, is…
>H-Hotaru-san?
That’s right, I think that…
…Pocchi-kun is just {\i1}so{\i0} my type!
>>No way! You’re on {\i1}that{\i0} team?
>>How unexpected!
But he’s so cute!
With that sailor outfit, and his poses!

N/A :: N/A. They all suck.

 

 

Expanded 4.

A total rejection.

Audio:

Commie :: I was raised in this candy shop.
It is my life.
So until Kokonotsu accepts his role as the ninth owner…
I… I…
>I told you I wasn’t about that life.

Doki-Chihiro :: I was raised here, at the Shikada Sweet Shop.
This shop is my life.
Until Kokonotsu takes over as the ninth family head,
I… I…
>I told you: I’m not taking over.

Funimation :: I grew up here at Shikada Dagashi.
This shop is my life itself.
Until Kokonotsu becomes its ninth owner, I can’t… I can’t…
>I did tell you I’m not doing that, right?

Mori :: I was raised here in this Shikada Candy Shop.
This shop is my life.
And with Kokonotsu succeeding as the ninth generation head,
I… I…!
>Didn’t I say I wasn’t going to?

N/A :: N/A. They all suck.

 

 

Expanded 5.

An astute observation.

Audio:

Commie :: Not every day someone comes out here all the way from the city.
>No kidding.

Doki-Chihiro :: That’s pretty rare. People don’t usually bother to come out here.
>That’s for sure.

Funimation :: It’s rare to see… an outsider visiting this remote town, isn’t it?
>Yep, yep.

Mori :: That’s pretty unusual.
For someone to come all the way out to this little town.
>Sure is.

N/A :: N/A. They all suck.

Essential 1.

Coconuts’s pal, Tou, calls him up to try and entice him into hanging out over summer break.

Commie :: Hey, having fun drawing comics? JK, I know you’ve got writer’s block.

Doki-Chihiro :: Yo, hanging in there with that manga of yours?
I bet you’re drawing a blank.

Funimation :: Hey, how’s it going? Having fun drawing manga?
I bet you’re hitting a brick wall, right?

Mori :: Hey, you drawing that manga of yours?
You’re almost done, right?

N/A :: N/A. They all suck.

 

Essential 2.

Overwrought exposition informs us that Coconuts-kun’s dad wants him to run their sweet shop/dagashi kashi/candy shop/candy store/whatever the fuck. (Funimation completely blew this line but I’ll get into that when I review their episode 2.)

Commie :: That’s not your decision!
I want to be a comic artist!
And stop trying to be cool, calling me your “heir”.
You own a simple candy shop!

Doki-Chihiro :: Don’t go deciding that on your own!
I’m going to be a manga artist!
You make succeding the family business sound so cool,
but all we do is run a sweet shop!

Funimation :: My future isn’t for you to decide! I’m gonna be a manga artist!
And you’re making it sound cool by using the word “successor,”
but our shop is just a small shop that sells {\i1}dagashi{\i0} snacks!

Mori :: You don’t get to decide that for me!
I’m going to become a mangaka!
You’re saying all this cool stuff about me being the heir, but we’re…
…just a candy shop!

N/A :: N/A. They all suck.

 

Essential 3.

You know, like those Scooby Doo or Super Mario fruit snacks, or that awesome sauce Pokemon mac ‘n cheese, or… Okay, you probably didn’t need an explanation for this one, but I couldn’t stop my nostalgia.

Commie :: And you should stock character goods from a popular show.
They’re expensive, but they’ll sell.

Doki-Chihiro :: Also, try to get some popular character-themed sweets.
They’re more expensive, but they sell more.

Funimation :: And you should sell {\i1}dagashi{\i0} with popular characters, too.
They’re more expensive, but they sell well.

Mori :: And you should consider stocking some of the popular character candy.
They’re a bit pricey, but they sell!

N/A :: N/A. They all suck.

 

Essential 4.

Hotaru has posed a challenge to Coconuts to find a combination of Umaibo flavors that’d satisfy her presumably yeasty vagina. (I still would, ofc.)

Commie :: Okay, uh…
Cheese and octopus fritters to make cheese octopus fritters?
>Not bad, but lacking impact.

Doki-Chihiro :: Hm, well…
How about cheese and takoyaki, to make Cheese Takoyaki?
>Not bad, but it doesn’t have enough punch to it.

Funimation :: Well then, how about…
…combining cheese and octopus dumpling flavors
to make “cheese-octopus dumpling” flavor?
>It’s not bad, but it lacks punch.

Mori :: Let’s see…
How about combining the cheese and takoyaki flavours?
>Not bad, but it lacks a punch.

N/A :: N/A. They all suck.

 

Essential 5.

There’s a lengthier joke around this, but this part of it’s pretty self-contained.

Commie :: I’d feel so much better if you were dating her.
>Wh-What are you talking about?
>Off his rocker, isn’t he?

Doki-Chihiro :: If you two were dating, I’d be able to spend my retirement in peace.
>S-Stop joking around, Dad.
>Right, Shidare-san?

Funimation :: If you were going out with Kokonotsu, our family business would be secured.
>Wh-What’re you saying, Dad?
>Right, Miss Shidare?

Mori :: If you were dating Kokonotsu, our future would’ve been secured.
>Wh-What are you talking about, Dad?
>Right, Shidare-san?

N/A :: N/A. They all suck.

 

Essential 6.

Tou stirring the pot like he’s waiting for Hansel and Gretel.

Commie :: You got the hots for her or something?
>What are you talking about? I mean, she’s really weird, so…

Doki-Chihiro :: Could it be that… you’re interested in her?
>Interested…? Well, she’s a really strange person, so…

Funimation :: Could it be that you’re quite curious about her?
>It’s not that I’m curious, so much as that she’s very strange.

Mori :: Could it be that you’re into her?
>Into her? Well, she’s a really odd person, so…

N/A :: N/A. They all suck.

 

Essential 7.

Saya likes Coco, Coco doesn’t know… So for the sake of the plot, don’t tell Coco cuz Coco doesn’t know.

Commie :: Yeah, sure, Coconuts is denser than a coconut and shit.
But you? You’re a bigger frickin’ dumbass than he is!

Doki-Chihiro :: It’s to be expected that {\i1}Coconut{\i0} hasn’t noticed,
but you’re a super ultra moron in your own right!

Funimation :: Coconuts is so thick-headed for not noticing it,
but you’re super, ultra stupid, too.

Mori :: Well, Coconuts sure is a coconut for not realising it,
but you’re also one hell of a super ultra idiot!

N/A :: N/A. They all suck.

 

Essential 8.

By the way, whatever you’ve been told about sugar giving you energy is complete bullshit. There’s a reason why fat kids aren’t track stars.

Commie :: Some sugar healing for my brain after all that thinking.

Doki-Chihiro :: My brain is burnt out from today, so I’m replenishing my sugar levels!

Funimation :: They can replenish sugar when your brain is overworked!

Mori :: A replenishment of sugar for an overworked brain!

N/A :: N/A. They all suck.

 

Essential 9.

Dragon Quest III was even worse than Force Awakens. Fight me.

Commie :: The noble monkey king has instructed me to search this land for the Legend that slumbers within.

Doki-Chihiro :: Under the orders of a noble lord, I’ve come to this land in search of the legend who lives here.

Funimation :: Under the orders of someone high-ranking,
I came to search for a legend that dwells in this land.

Mori :: At the behest of a certain noble,
I have come here in search of a living legend.

N/A :: N/A. They all suck.
