Should be it for the officialsub shorts. May get around to the fansubbing options for these, but I imagine you’ll be more interested in your options for full-length series.

No. Pretty much any comment would work, cuz the girls are head-over-heels for him, but “awe-inspiring” is not accurate.

You’re in luck then, cuz that’s not what he fucking asked.

The hard thing about evaluating a lot of the dialogue in the show is that TO BE HERO itself is super tryhard quirky. So when a line comes out like “We’re a registered private limited company”, I gotta err on the side of “Oh no, they really wanted that janky garbage in the script” rather than offering up a simplicity fix. Life is tough for an editor. ;_;

horriblesubs-to-be-hero-01-720p-mkv_snapshot_04-28_2016-10-08_13-31-18

About the only thing I’ll give The Anime Network over Crunchyroll is their ability to differentiate between lines when multiple people are speaking. This is a mess.

horriblesubs-to-be-hero-01-720p-mkv_snapshot_04-46_2016-10-08_13-34-28

-social

Ignoring how badly “social” makes the line sound, dude just said he was part of a private company.

I’m so weeb I wear anime underoos, but even I think these lines would be better translated.

Look, I don’t honestly care whether you Frenchfag your shit up or not, but be consistent about it.

 

 

Rating.

Subs: Low pass.

The script does not make the show unwatchable, but boy does it try.

Show (in context of being a short): 8/10

Excel Saga was good, but damn Nabeshin, you’ve been out of the top game for a while. Can’t say I expect this to reach Nerima Daikon Brothers levels of garbage, but I’m expecting it to perform below Puni Puni Poemi by the end.

I’d remove this section for Crunchyroll reviews, but I figure shaming them is worth the screen space.

I hope it’s not just me, but this shit looks really fucking blurry. If I didn’t already have a hangover, I’m sure this shit’d give me a headache.

horriblesubs-mahou-shoujo-nante-mou-ii-desukara-s2-01-720p-mkv_snapshot_03-20_2016-10-08_15-09-01

There’s only 50-some lines in the show, not a whole lot to critique here.

 

 

Rating.

Subs: Low Pass.

As you may already know, I do not fuck with encodes. So it’s possible I’m talking out of my beautiful ass here, but… there’s something about this show that’s really hard to watch.

Show (in context of being a short): N/A. Didn’t watch S1.

But yeah, script is fine. You’re not really given time to digest the lines in Teekyu anyway.

Subs: Pass.

Teekyu is amazing — watch this shit. Sure as hell ain’t for everyone, but if you’re the target audience, you’ll know immediately.

Plz no judgerino. If I knew what I was getting into, I would’ve thoroughly prepared ahead of time.

 

Subs: Uhh… Pass?

Note that Asenshi also has a release out there. (Something would have to go terribly wrong for the Asenshi version to not be preferable to this.)

Show (in context of being a short): Well, it got me there.

Rating.

Subs: Pass.

Note that DameDesuYo also has an Okusama release. Additionally, DDY’s has less censorship (however small the difference is), so… yeah, that’s probably the deciding factor for this show.

Show (in context of being a short): N/A. Didn’t watch S1.

Now I sort of want to watch the first season, but it’d have to be an edited version where the faggot protagonist is removed. Where’s gg when they’re actually needed? ;_;
