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.

HorribleSubs :: Suicide…
According to the dictionary, it is defined as,
“The act of taking one’s own life.”
I suspect I’ll go through life without ever attempting to commit suicide.
Not because of any moral standard,
but as the result of a far more fundamental reason.
Let’s save this discussion for some other time.
At any rate, she means to die!

Commie :: Suicide.
The dictionary defines it as
“the act of killing yourself.”
It’s probably safe to say I’ll never attempt it.
It’s not a moral stand for me or anything,
just a fundamental aspect of my existence.
But that’s a story for another time.
Right now, this girl is trying to kill herself!

UTW :: Suicide.
Defined in dictionaries as “the act of taking one’s own life,”
it is something I will probably never even think about doing.
Not because I think it’s unethical,
but for a more fundamental reason.
However, let’s save that for later.
Right now, she’s about to die!

Mezashite :: Suicide.
Dictionaries define it as the act of taking one’s own life.
I don’t imagine there will ever come a time in my life when I’ll be inclined to try it.
It’s not quite that I’m morally opposed to the act;
rather, it’s that I’m fundamentally incompatible with it.
I’ll save the rest of my ramblings for later.
Right now, a girl is about to throw her life away.

At any rate, someone who looks as good in glasses as you do…

I laid my heart bear as I said something to that effect.
And then, I put all of my emotions into
what I screamed there at the end.
In short, I love glasses!

Commie :: {\i1}I’m not going to go into specifics on what I said, but…
To lose someone who looks as good in glasses as you…

HorribleSubs :: A dismembered body, huh?
It’s not like you’ll draw the readers in if you
simply make all of the murders grotesque…
>Then what type of murder should I go for?
I think that the readers are most interested in
the character’s actions and logic behind them.
I hate things like,
“I thought it’d be cool to dismember him!” above all else.

Commie :: Maybe have the bodies dismembered, then?
Brutal murders alone aren’t enough to keep the reader’s interest.
>How would you want them killed, then?
I think they’re much more interested in
the motive and reasoning behind the murders.
“I just thought it would be fun!”
is the worst cop-out possible.

UTW :: A dismembered corpse, eh?
You can’t keep the readers interested by simply ramping up the brutality of the murders.
>How should one write a murder, then?
I believe readers place more importance on what the characters do and why.
Stuff like “I just felt like ripping him to shreds” is the kind of thing they hate most.

Mezashite :: Maybe I should cut him to pieces.
Do you really think you can hold the readers’ attention just by making the murders as grotesque as possible?
>Then how should I kill him?
What’s most important is the killer’s behavior and logic.

HorribleSubs :: This is where the progression in stories takes two strongly diverging paths.
Down one path, the protagonist actively participates
in the story and aids in its progression.
Down the other, the protagonist remains
passive and allows the story to carry itself.
I clearly belonged in the second category,
but for some odd reason, I chose to follow the first path!

Commie :: The story stands at the intersection of two vastly different paths.
One where the protagonist is an active participant, moving the story along.
And another where he stays passive, letting the story unfold at its own pace.
The latter one seemed familiar and inviting to me,
but in the end, I chose the first path.

UTW :: At this point, the story can proceed in one of two ways.
Either the protagonist plays an active role in the events that unfold,
or he takes a passive role as the story moves on without him.
By all accounts, I’d fall into the latter category,
but for some reason, I chose the former option at this time.

Mezashite :: From here, the story can develop in one of two ways:
The first is for the protagonist to dive in and take an active role in the story.
The other is for the protagonist to step back and let the story progress on its own.
Everything about me screams that I would choose the latter,
but for some reason, today, I decided to choose the former.

simply should not die!
I laid my heart bear as I said something to that effect.
And then, I put all of my emotions into
what I screamed there at the end.
In short, I love glasses!

Commie :: {\i1}I’m not going to go into specifics on what I said, but…
To lose someone who looks as good in glasses as you…
would be absolutely inexcusable!
{\i1}I let my truest feelings spill out.
{\i1}And at the end, I poured the rest of my heart out.
What I’m trying to say is, I love glasses!

UTW :: I won’t repeat everything I said, but…
“…at any rate, someone who looks as good in glasses as you
simply must not die!”
That was my heartfelt plea to her.
I finished by screaming out everything I felt at that moment.
“Basically, I love glasses!”

Mezashite :: I won’t bore you with the particulars of what I said to her.
In any case, a girl who looks as good in glasses as you
shouldn’t be allowed to die!
I told her my feelings from the bottom of my heart.
And finally, I screamed out the full weight of my emotions.
What I really mean is that I love glasses!

HorribleSubs :: That is how I met Mirai Kuriyama.
If that was the extent of our relationship,
it’d probably be impossible for stories to exist in this world of ours.

Commie :: That is how I met Kuriyama Mirai.
If our time together had ended there,
this world would be a much, much duller place.

UTW :: And that’s how I met Kuriyama Mirai.
If our story had ended after a meeting like that,
I don’t think any story in this world would be worth telling.

Mezashite :: And such was how I met Kuriyama Mirai.
If it were possible for two people to go their separate ways after an event like that,
then every story in the world would end before it could even begin.

HorribleSubs :: A dismembered body, huh?
It’s not like you’ll draw the readers in if you
simply make all of the murders grotesque…
>Then what type of murder should I go for?
I think that the readers are most interested in
the character’s actions and logic behind them.
I hate things like,
“I thought it’d be cool to dismember him!” above all else.

Commie :: Maybe have the bodies dismembered, then?
Brutal murders alone aren’t enough to keep the reader’s interest.
>How would you want them killed, then?
I think they’re much more interested in
the motive and reasoning behind the murders.
“I just thought it would be fun!”
is the worst cop-out possible.

UTW :: A dismembered corpse, eh?
You can’t keep the readers interested by simply ramping up the brutality of the murders.
>How should one write a murder, then?
I believe readers place more importance on what the characters do and why.
Stuff like “I just felt like ripping him to shreds” is the kind of thing they hate most.

Mezashite :: Maybe I should cut him to pieces.
Do you really think you can hold the readers’ attention just by making the murders as grotesque as possible?
>Then how should I kill him?
What’s most important is the killer’s behavior and logic.
I hate the type of culprit who confesses with an “I just kinda wanted to try cutting them to pieces” line.

UTW :: Wiping your glasses isn’t going to help you come up with a good excuse.

How many times do you think you’ve stabbed me in the past week, Kuriyama?
>One, two, six…
It takes two hands already?!

UTW :: You suck way too much at playing dumb!
Do you have any idea how many times you’ve stabbed me this past week?

One hand isn’t enough?!
