Do you prefer Asian English or American English subs?

Whatever is more accurate. I liked the dialogue on the right a lot more, except for rekt of course. If it happens to the more faithful translations then I've to swallow it.

The less extra flavor they add the better. At most they should only do it with unlocalizable jokes.

>get rekt
not that one

CR is better

"get rekt" is a little embarrassing, but I suspect the one on the right is more faithful to the flavour of the actual dialogue. Imagine you're a japanese person watching this show. The characters don't sound like robots to you, they sound lively and cute. In that sense, the goal of the translator should be to give you that experience while also translating it.

Of course, localization is an artform. You can do it badly, and a lot of people might, but it's also bad if everyone sounds like a robot.

I once read a poetry trannylator who said that his job as translator is to "reinterpret the author for the reader", Jesus.

I suspect you've taken more than a few dicks

>Get rekt. Get rekt. Get rekt.

>>283071111 (OP)
Neither. Go learn Japanese already.

Naturally, because it's Nabokov

What the fuck.

>>283071111 (OP)
adding meme words in subs is retarded and you should be black listed from ever subbing anything

What's wrong with it?
It's a 4chan lingo.

hi trannylator
"translating" the context, instead of the words being spoken should get you banned from the industry.
