If this were a fansub release, I’d advise the group to fire whoever haphazardly slapped this shit together in 10 minutes. But since it’s an officialsub, all I have is praise for the effort they put in~
Script Review
Spoiler for
Terms.
The table tennis terminology is surprisingly accurate — I cross-checked versus a number of different sources and all of the above corresponded appropriately with the tennis/table tennis world.
Either someone on the translation team played the sport in school, or they pulled up a random web glossary to do their research, but either way it makes for a good experience.
Et tu, Keijo TL-kun?
With a 95% confidence level, either the TL or the editor for this release worked on Crunchyroll’s Keijo.
Besides that individual, no one else in the history of ever has used “x-ranker” as opposed to “x-ranked”. I’d say it’s less a calling card than a warning sign.
Easy Fixes.
You can’t stop speed. Well, unless Mexicans are slinging it, then you can try for a wall.
“Managing the speed of her hits is no easy task.”
“Sure, thanks.”
Memery.
Meme game on point.

Subs are fine. Show is… fine too, if you stretch the definition of the word. Wouldn’t recommend you waste 24 minutes per episode, but if you put it on double-speed and have it playing in the background while you lube up… Sure?
Translation Style: Funimation? …Honestly, I still don’t understand this fucking deal they’ve made. But whatever, we’ll just credit it all to Crunchyroll cuz it’s easier that way.
Come on, it’s mostly just dialogue. (I’d webm this shit to show ya but apparently I can’t access the site’s FTP to upload large files, and I’m not sober enough to fix it, so…)
Typesetting.
Unrelated, but fuck do I hate everything about Youtube.

Main Script.
Good question.
If something “doesn’t compare”, that means it’s worse, not better.
Special? Sure. Creative? Not the kinda word you’d use to describe your own work unless you’re even more narcissistic than me.
Yes. -> Right.
“What, is he a grade schooler?!”
This isn’t a thing.
“He’s not a problem, for now.”
Don’t recall having this many issues with the 01, so maybe the staff just got lazy for this one. ;_;

The show’s much better than the 4-koma. Warden-tan <3
The characters might share a few traits, but at this point all new shows are just throwing everything into a blender and see what kind of mess they can manage.
Is it just me, or does ping-pong yuri have the same cast as Saki?
Normally I’m down for the schlicking, but…

Not even one of the main cast are in Saki.
