We were talking about that in the chat the other day. The reason groups avoided that is because in Japanese high school it’s only three years, and the general localization for those years is freshman, junior, and senior year. Sophomore is often skipped.
Got it. I was figuring analogous to units completed, like in U.S. universities. Some more groaners for your edification:
She’s a junior miss-fire?
The second year blues?

Oh man. I had watched FTW. Did Commie perhaps NOT use “vanishment this world” over “banishment”? I know its hardsubbed in the ED video now but my memories of season one make me want the later.
No, they used Vanishment. But that’s not a question that requires anyone else to answer for you; you just need to be literate enough by Expanded 9 to see that every choice starts out with “Vanishment”.
Clearly I didn’t do the expanded. Stop being so tsun D_S-kun.

I also went through this once specifically picking all the *worst* lines, just to confirm which translation I needed to avoid at all costs.

Anyone that blatantly mistranslates 邪王真眼 as “Wicked Lord Shingan” after an entire season of examples of how to get it right shouldn’t be working on this show.
Looks like I’ll be waiting for and downloading the Commie subs, especially since they’re also the ones who do all the creative “death” translations for Deko’s DESU lines.
