1. I want to make a witty comment, but I can’t really think of anything that would be funnier than the subs right now.

2. So… Xythar is cancer?

3. You actually dodged a bullet, because if you went by the original “unedited” subs, you’d get gems like these:

   Dialogue: 0,0:01:12.96,0:01:15.88,Default,,0,0,0,,Gatts, I will tell you how to live and when to die

   Dialogue: 0,0:16:24.62,0:16:26.96,Default,,0,0,0,,I want you Gatts

   Yeah, that person in the opening credits kinda used “Guts” and “Gatts” interchangeably :^\

5. You know it’s bad when copy/pasting the lines from the early Berserk scanlations would have been a better strategy.

7. “But that’s okay. I mean, I pretty much understand Japanese anyway! I’ve seen at least 20 animes by now”

   Funnily enough, that was the exact same answer Ace971 gave when he was asked about his qualifications as a translator.

8. Many thanks to the author of this article. I don’t get a lot of time outside of work and I’ve been really looking forward to the second Berserk movie.

   It’s taking even longer than the first movie to sub and I was considering tracking down this version fansub. After looking at a couple of those screenshots I’m now content to wait for a group I know.

   Again, much appreciated.

9. Considering that all of these subs are is a retranslation from French to help out the English speaking croud, I would say they are more than good enough.

   The reason the guy did these subs was because no group was releasing anything for the movie.

   • What the fuck is wrong with you?

     Reply

     • A great wealth of common sense I guess. I took into account that they guy that did this wasn’t very good at English, better at French, and had no Editors or QCs to help him out.

       So I easily came to the realization that the subs were probably going to disappoint. Without having to even watch it to see if I was right.

       Free is free though, right?

       • “It’s free so you can’t complain” is a pretty terrible and easily refutable argument.

         Reply

         • It’s only pretty terrible when you have a choice in what you can watch free. Otherwise, it’s free and your only option, you can’t really complain.

           Reply

           • You can watch it raw though, because in my opinion, these subs would only serve to distract the viewer, making the experience worse. I’d much rather watch it raw than use these subs.

             Reply

             • Yes, watching RAW would definitely be the preferable option here.

               There’s really no reason to not wait for competent subs. There are hundreds of other anime titles on nyaa. Why should you feel compelled to watch these subs when you could be watching something else instead?

               In two weeks (maybe?), Commie subs will be out. The time that P3 leechers wasted on this release will never return. Sometimes a little patience can go a long way in life.

               • It’s being slowly translated because the chance of a decent uncensored raw (or god forbid the BD itself) showing up anytime soon is rather low.

   • Bad subs are intolerable even if they’re the only ones available. It’s like if you’re at a fancy dinner and the only wine available is corked and vinegary, I’m not gonna drink it just because it’s the only one available, I’ll just ask for a fucking glass of water.

     Reply

     • In this situation it is better to say that you are at a soup kitchen and you either have this, tap water, or you can go outside and drink from a puddle.

       You can wait for a sub group. They should all be finishing up by now considering this only has about 800 lines and the raws have been out there for a week or so and if they ordered their own Blu-Ray they should have had it for a while longer than that.

       Reply

       • A soup kitchen? So apparently Berserk is the equivalent of a soup kitchen dish for you.

         Nah. Downloading Berserk is like crashing a fancy-pants party. (Yes, crashing, because you’re not supposed to crash parties, much like you’re not supposed to download this shit illegally, but OH WELL~) And those subs are like when you grab a glass from one of those ambulatory dudes who carry wine glass trays (yes, I’m totally showing how I’d only get into one of those parties by crashing it) and then you taste the wine and you make a spit-take and everyone turns and looks at you. You can still enjoy the party without the wine, but it’s just not the same.

         And yes, it’s always good to wait for the BD subbers.

12. Hey guys, another Berserk fan here.

    Hey Dark_Sage, I was waiting for English Subtitles for Berserk 2 and I had searched exhaustively some days ago with no results. And I found a sub today.

    Can you please check how correct the below subs are if you wish?
    According to expressions and movement the subs looks correct and accordingly to current expression.

    At least I’ll know from now that you better be selfish, at least those who love to complain (and do nothing…) won’t have shit to say.

    So DarkSage, if you had spent half of the time you spent on making fun of someone’s will to provide something for you guys, subbing it yourself, maybe we would have something absolutely perfect, as you seem to be really deep into it.

    Well at least you all made me laugh, except for Shades who have common sense. Next time fuckers, sub it yourselves! :) and happy new year loosers

                      Ce site critique les fansubs avec un ton moqueur. L’auteur n’a pas réellement quoi que ce soit contre toi, mais tes sous-titres sont extrêmement mauvais, donc il les ridicule. Ça arrive assez fréquemment. Mais toi, jeune con que tu es, tu t’es senti obligé de venir ici essayer de défendre ton travail avec des arguments pitoyables comme “j’aimerais bien vous voir faire mieux” et en insultant tout le monde en vue.

                      Je ne sais pas ce que tu essaies d’accomplir, mais tout ce que tu as réussis, c’est de te faire passer pour un autiste.

                    • Quoi? Vous pensez que vous ne parlez pas le français? C’est vous qui m’avez demandé de parler en français. Alors, si vous voulez, je peux arrêter, mais il est inconcevable que vous vous croyez capable de parler l’anglais. C’est une langue très complexe, en comparaison avec la langue française. Les escargots ont copié notre langue en grande partie (soixante pour cent de vos mots sont pareil qu’en anglais!).

                      (I might stop trolling you in French now because having the character map open to c-cedilla and circumflex is irritating)

                  • Just a quick example :
                    You in english compared to french tu or vous which makes a difference between plural and singular for the second person form.
                    That’s only a quick one…
                    and for you who think that French is recycled (it was a good one!) from english or whatever
                    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-V_distinction
                    Maybe you’ll learn a bit about your own language.

                    “It is estimated that 12% (4,200) of common French words found in a typical dictionary such as the Petit Larousse or Micro-Robert Plus (35,000 words) are of foreign origin (where Greek and Latin learned words are not seen as foreign). About 25% (1,054) of these foreign words come from English and are fairly recent borrowings. The others are some 707 words from Italian, 550 from ancient Germanic languages, 481 from other Gallo-Romance languages, 215 from Arabic, 164 from German, 160 from Celtic languages, 159 from Spanish, 153 from Dutch, 112 from Persian and Sanskrit, 101 from Native American languages, 89 from other Asian languages, 56 from other Afro-Asiatic languages, 55 from Slavic languages and Baltic languages, 10 from Basque and 144 (about 3%) from other languages.” from wikipedia, but you can find the same information everywhere.

                    • Look, just because you can say “you” a whole loada ways and you’ve got lots of extra tenses including a seemingly useless one you use for writing stories/novels, that’s not going to impress me. The thing about English is that there’s a whole *wealth* of synonyms we can use that other languages just don’t have. Trust me, I’ve studied poetry, I know all about it. And that’s English and French poetry (spoilers: French poetry is weird).

      And yes, Sage was a bit bashful but the Subs was indeed shitty. Better than NOTHING but still shitty.
      That does not mean you are a bad or untalented person.

      All I know is that you tried atleast. Sage was just criticizing your work. Not in a good manner, but hey,

16. criticizing is ok , but if you wanna be sarcastic guys, it would imply you all can do better then.
    As far as I’m concerned, the main goal was to sub it perfectly in french, which is done now.
    As advertised firstly, and if ShitSage was honest , he would have mentioned I never pretended this release to be a perfect one, just to help some guys who would be able to make a perfect release out of it, which is easier this way.
    But I won’t waste any longer my time with this shithole, it’s useless :)

    • If the goal was to create a French fansub, why the fuck was it released in pidgin English? Your English is too poorly phrased to discern any real meaning out of your comments, but if you were even semi-literate you would see this release has worse English than an arashi script. It’s utterly indefensible— there’s no way an editor could at all turn this into grammatical English. In some parts I’d expect better out of motherfucking Google Translate. But keep up the free = above criticism defence— we all know how absolute that is.

      • Sure pal…
        At the meantime except for criticizing, and if it is so bad, why don’t any of you guys do it?

        Keep the crappy comments up ;) i’m sure you’d all together already the movie 3 times by now if only you’d put yourselves together.
        and man the goal was to create a french one, but I don’t live in France, therefore I needed an english one too. That’s the difference between being selfish and not I guess.

        • I don’t see why you think that the petulant retort “I’d like to see you do better!” is particularly clever, especially considering many of these sites readers are fansubbers, some of whom are working on subbing this show to a standard I have faith will far surpass yours. I still fail to see why you had cause to sub this in English when you clearly aren’t fluent enough to so much as touch the script. But no, keep up your haughty, misguided comments.

            • So… your defence is that it’s the leechers’ fault for downloading your shit, and that the subs can be disabled? Truly comical. Thing is, people are complaining because your release was “a shit”. Anyone who downloaded the movie downloaded did so with the expectation that they would be provided with subtitles to translate the spoken Japanese into written English. This release completely fails at this purpose. No meaning can be discerned from the subtitles, rendering them useless. For this reason, your release has generated anger for deceiving people into downloading a completely substandard product. If you do not comprehend this, then you have serious cognitive issues.

I could probably fix this up in 20 – 30 minutes (assuming his Japanese to English translations were correct) with proper grammatical sentence structure.

If you’re trying to learn by yourself, that’s one thing, but wasting everyone’s time and bandwidth with an unwatchable, undecipherable release is just that – a waste. I COULD do better – provided I had a TL that could produce something comprehensible for me to edit. Fuck, I could guesslate a more logical script than this shit. But I don’t have to; maybe you’re not understanding this, but Commie (that’s an English fansub group, just so you know) is subbing this in actual English. Some of their members have even responded to you. So yeah, they can do better, and they’re going to. I would get a better understanding of this movie by watching it raw anyway than by using your subs. How would you like it if I subbed your anime in French and wasted your time? It defies common sense. Just stick to what you know.

            • Yes, dismiss my comment as “hatred” and insult me, that’s a great way to respond to criticism. As someone who actually edits English fansubs, I have done it and can do it. No, not this movie, but for anime nonetheless. Provided you know English (which you don’t), it’s not that hard.

              And no, it is not better to have inaccurate subs. I can understand the gist of what’s going on by observing the characters and their expressions. Obviously, I won’t get much out of that, but I’ll get more than what your subs would give me. They’d only serve to distract me as I tried to decipher what in God’s name you were trying to say. Pausing the video every two seconds to mentally edit your “English” is not better than watching raw.

              I’ll try saying this in a language you can understand though. The lesson here is that if you produce shitsubs, prepare toi get criticized.

                      This is the last I’ll post in French because this /is/ an English website and you obviously have nothing of value to say in either language. Continue thinking we’re all just “haters” or trolls with no credibility to back up our contempt if that makes you feel better. It certainly doesn’t make your subs any more bearable.

Neither of those things even have anything to do with being a native speaker. If you can’t spell or use proper, elementary school grammar, then your subs are going to be pretty fucking terrible. In any language.

                      P.S. “tu doit” est loin d’être la seule faute que tu as faite dans ta réplique.

                      And yes, I’ve been subbing since you were in diapers, young man, so kindly respect your elders.

      • The irony of your comments is simply overwhelming. Really, I’ll spell it out to you: YOU CANNOT SPEAK ENGLISH WELL. You do not understand spelling, grammar or syntax well enough to communicate properly to fluent speakers. Granted, you have a reasonable vocabulary, understand basic sentence structure and seemingly have some level of literacy, but you cannot reliably produce comprehensible English. I’m sure “…how the enemy?” makes sense to you, but we English speakers have no idea what the fuck you mean by that. I’m sure you think the English in the release is acceptable, but it’s not. It’s all but gibberish. Please, improve your English a bit (okay, more than a bit) before displaying it so conspicuously. By the way, I know for a fact that the French also have punctuation. We use full stops too, you know!

        • Where did you see me “displaying my english so conspicuously”?
          Moreover, I did the subs in one day, just that if someone wanted to sub it, it’ll have been easier.
          And to let you know all of it, I found the subs in portuguese first, which I know nothing about.
          Easiest way was to google trad, and then with the manga beside, to adapt everything to the best in French. Why no one here can do the same?
          For a good willing person, it’ll have taken like one day or two translating it perfectly in proper english so what are you still waiting for?

          If you can’t understand with the movie on, I mean guys go get a brain!

          You can’t get everything you want for free , sometimes you got to involve yourself. Don’t know if that makes sense to people here. But hey , don’t worry about my english, I have no issues talking with people. The fact I did that as fast as I could to help somehow made you guys mad, fair enough XD .
          Now enjoy whatever you didn’t made, or watch it raw if you don’t want to use the subs. That’s fine by me.
          Actually, I don’t even know why I’m wasting my time talking to people who obviously, will never ever try to sub anything even in their own language…
          No matter how I say it, you’ll all have kind of arguments, and just won’t listen. I never said I was writing english like a native, but still , you guys should seriously open your minds.

            No one here does the same because that’s retarded, plain and simple. What’s the point in playing Chinese whispers through different languages to arrive at a translation that’s not only impossible to read but probably has little bearing on what was actually said in the original Japanese?

        And as for my previous post, not I did not imply in any way other subbers aren’t doing nothing about Berserk.

        I’m really thankful to all those that are trying/subbing. You got my respect. As for Berserk,
        I downloaded it in Greek as is my native language.

        Also the Subs seems pretty good and very different from Ace’s. So I believe they must be correct. How correct I don’t know since I don’t speak Japanese.

        But the grammar and sentences make much more sense in Greek than all the English subs I found. So if I had found it before I could, had translated it in an estimated 95-99% perfect subs, assuming the Greek subs were correctly translated in first place.

        But as you already stated, they are on their way.. ;)

21. excusez moi pour l’intrusion inopinée,
    je me permets d’intervenir, non pas pour défendre le travail d’ace971 (puisque d’une part, je ne maîtrise pas suffisamment la langue de Shakespeare, et d’autre part, comme je suis à l’origine de l’adaptation française, je ne peux pas être objectif), mais pour défendre mon travail à moi.
    d’abord, si j’ai décidé de faire cette adaptation, c’est parce que la licence acquise par “dybex” empêche les teams françaises de publier leurs fansubs. donc, à ce jour, il n’y a toujours pas d’autre sous-titres français disponibles.
    en visionnant le raw je me suis rendu compte, grâce à ma connaissance pointue de l’anime de 1997, que les dialogues étaient les mêmes au mot près (parfois, seul l’interlocuteur change) et que donc, en m’aidant de celui-ci ainsi que du manga, il était possible de faire une adaptation plus que correcte malgré mes lacunes en japonais.
    je n’ai jamais revendiqué une quelconque appellation de “fansub”, je suis allé jusqu’à signaler mon incompétence au public à la place du “résumé de l’épisode précédent” après tout qui peut s’en soucier?

    à ce jour, je n’ai reçu que des commentaires positifs sur mon travail.
    il ne tient qu’à vous de vérifier

    • Using the manga to “translate” something is still pretty bad, especially as anime shows are notorious for changing things from the manga (they’d probably call it “enhancing” the dialogue or whatnot). Think of it like this: when you see a movie adaptation of a novel, they don’t do everything word for word. They add lines or leave lots of lines out, and sometimes adjust lines for flow in order to emphasise something that the director wants emphasising. Using a book to then “translate” the movie would be a gross injustice to the movie itself – not to mention that you’re relying on the manga translation to be accurate as well, which sometimes isn’t the case, especially when they have a go at localising things.

      Reply

      • ah, mais je ne me suis pas contenté de simplement replacer les phrases du manga dans le film, bien entendu! je me suis aidé de celui-ci, ainsi que du fameux “googletrad portugais”, du chinois aussi, et de l’anime. je t’assure que j’ai véritablement travaillé dur pendant 5 jours, pour reformuler les phrases, afin d’avoir le même nombre de syllabes que la version audio japonaise, afin de conserver un maximum la rythmique pour que la lecture soit le pus agréable possible (ce que les teams françaises ne font pas suffisamment, je trouve)
        j’ai voulu être sûr de comprendre la stratégie de Griffith, pour éviter les contresens comme celui que les portugais ont fait entre les cavalerie respectives lourde et légères de Boscorn et des Faucons.
        ace971 a parfois volontairement baissé (selon moi) la qualité de mon adaptation pour la rendre plus accessible voire plus “populaire” (par exemple il a remplacé le terme militaire de “centurie” par “100 hommes” ou par “bataillon” cela ne m’a pas dérangé, dans un sens bien au contraire mais j’y reviendrai, là où, par contre cela a nuit à la qualité, c’est que Gatsu devait être affublé d’un surnom en rapport avec la “boucherie” et donc là où je l’avais qualifié de “hachoir à centurie” lui s’est contenté “tueur des 100” mais bon, pour moi, c’était un compromis, dans le but de rendre l’adaptation accessible au plus grand nombre).
        je suis resté quelquefois bloqué plus de 15 min sur une phrase parce que je n’arrivait pas à trancher entre coller au texte original (japonais) et utiliser une phrase plus usuelle en français (“prépare toi” en est un exemple, je ne sais plus ce que c’étais en VO, une réplique du genre “je t’attaque” je crois… bref un truc improbable en français)
        et aussi, en français, la répétition d’un même nom ou d’une même expression dans plusieurs phrases consécutives est à éviter autant que possible alors que cela ne semble pas déranger en japonais. et c’est donc volontairement que par exemple, je n’ai pas utilisé deux fois la même traduction pour “kisama” que les portugais ont systématiquement remplacé par leur équivalent de “son of a bitch” que je trouve presque anachronique…
        j’aurais tellement à défendre encore… je vous assure, c’était tout sauf du copier-coller. 5 jours intenses.

        l’erreur d’ace971, selon moi, est qu’il n’a pas soumis son travail à un premier avis extérieur et objectif, alors que lui même a pu apprécier l’importance de cette formalité en effectuant une première correction (parfois arbitraire) de mon adaptation.

        • tl;dr

          You syllable-matched with the Japanese audio? Man, I didn’t think anyone was even masochistic enough to try that. But here’s a suggestion for your next project – why not find a Japanese->French tl and then you can just edit their work? I’m led to believe there’s a lot of French fansub groups out there, so I’m sure it wouldn’t have been too hard to find one to help you out. That way, you wouldn’t have to resort to Google Translate via Portuguese, which is questionable at best.

          Reply

          • ah… en fait, en france la licence est acquise depuis longtemps, du coup, aucune team de fansub n’a eu pour projet de le traduire… au départ, j’ai proposé de faire une adaptation (et non une traduction) pour une petite communauté surtout parce que je connais bien l’œuvre de Miura (ça aurait été impossible avec n’importe quel autre anime) et que depuis plus de 20 ans que je regarde de l’anime (et non, pas 20 animes)en vostf/vosta, je commence à comprendre certaines expressions récurrentes. et c’est ce qui m’a permis de comprendre la VO, et surtout de me rendre compte que les dialogues sont souvent les mêmes au mot près que dans la série de 1997 et ça personne ne va le nier.
            je ne suis pas masochiste, j’ai même voulu abandonner le projet (justement car j’avais des doutes quand à la qualité du résultat final) et j’ai reçu tellement de messages d’encouragement, voire de supplications, que je suis allé au bout.
            mais, tu veux savoir, je pensais qu’au pire, on attendrait un mois avant la sortie du DVD ou bien une meilleure traduction, le fait est qu’aujourd’hui, le 03-02-2013, ma version (vostfr) est toujours la seule disponible. et j’en suis le premier surpris. mais pour ma part, le public à donné son verdict.
            et je ne sais pas si tu a vu ma vostfr, mais au début, à la place du résumé de l’épisode précédent (que je n’ai pas voulu traduire au grand malheur de dark sage, qui doit être atteint d’alzheimer pour s’en soucier)je fais tout pour rebuter les éventuels critiques zélés en annonçant d’emblée que je ne comprend rien au japonais (vérifie). une petite épreuve imposée au spectateur pour compenser le coté masochiste (au fait, j’ai travaillé avec deux ordinateurs simultanément) juste histoire qu’il aie un peu de mérite.
            écoute, tu as l’air de comprendre le français, jette un œil sur ma version, et donne moi ton avis. attention, je ne prétends pas que c’est parfait, mais je sais que ça n’est pas si mauvais

      • But man, waiting a MONTH for something? Must be hard when it’s 1/120 or at best 1/144 of the guy’s life…

        • Its kind of ironic that you guys do nothing but call people names and make fun of them, followed by implying they are kids.
          Whats wrong with someone eagerly waiting for something?

          You don’t answer any of my questions, simple because I use simple logic and you really have nothing to complain about.

          Why am I even on here discussing this? All you guys are doing is trolling and its kind of sad.

          • Fail troll is fail.

            You’ll probably notice that the only person implying anyone’s a kid was you, as all we’ve done here is complain about the questionable quality of a release that went through 4 different languages (none of the people subbing this actually knew any of them either) before arriving at a release that claims to be English but the screenshots say otherwise.

            If our “trolling” is “sad”, what does that make your trolling? It’s more pathetic that no one’s even bothered to take your bait, don’t you think? :D

              • Really? That’s the best you can do? It’s been said many times why this release shouldn’t be watched, and your failure to understand that is a clear representation of your English skills.

          • Well I see that the main focus of the discussion went elsewhere, but…

            “What’s wrong with someone eagerly WAITING for something?”
            That’s kinda what I wanted to ask you – why not WAIT a bit for something immeasurably better?.

            • Simply because I rather watch it sooner then later(hens me saying I was eager). The terribly done subs didn’t take much away from the actual anime as its not particularly hard to follow. So there is little reason to wait. I will download a better version in the future.

                HENS ME SAYING. I also like weirdly. Written sentences. Seriously man, this was a really bad release. I couldn’t even figure out what was happening in the release at all. Hey maybe I need to get less English to; understand it better.

    • Commie should suffice.
