where's the decent subs?
>inb4bothareshit
Kneechaps looks good enough
Commie actually made an attempt to translate the pun so I'd say go for them
commie is better. come at me

They're not?
Usually puns don't work translated directly but I think that was pretty good
To be honest, if you don't speak Japanese you really shouldn't care if a pun wasn't translated the same way
If you care, learn Japanese so when you hear it you'll get the joke right away
I knew a pun was there hearing it but I couldnt find time to laugh since I was thinking "this is some too japanese for me pun".
>>135129416
Commie is miles better but I'm a contrarian fuck and most people seem to agree so I'll go with CR because fuck you OP I hate you so much.
>>135129457
both are shit actually

I've given up trying to get a good translation on monogatari wordplay. I would rather just have the translator explain the Japanese instead of trying to force an English version.
>>135129416
How's this a question? Right is a fucking disaster.
>>135130271
Right is just what you would expect from shitty literal subs.
At least commie tries to get the meaning across fluidly.
Probably the worse case in the series, but the official subs barely even attempted to produce something that made sense
>>135129967
This. Nice though it is that Commie decided to translate the pun, if you know enough basic Japanese (and you do pick it up from watching a lot of anime), it's better if subs help you understand what's being said, instead of simply telling you what's being said.
>>135130271
And left is made up bullshit.
>>135131071
>rewording to preserve meaning
>made up
good one
Although I can't defend everything commie does, like that fucking Kagenui accent, at least they try sometimes.
>>135131110
It's not "rewording" it's making shit up.
>>135129416
This is one of those lose-lose situations.
>>135129416
I have to say, in this situation Commie is superior. There's nothing wrong with translation notes for hard to translate sections, even prestigious novels do that, but in this case crunchy roll didn't even put any effort at all into the translation.

>puns about knees
>puns about knees
>b-b-but they're different puns.
Because they don't funking translate at all. You don't understand what translating a literal work is if you think it's just a literal translation. Those translations suck.
EOPs are a sad bunch.

Based commie, saving subs one slightly slower release at a time.
>>135131182
Yeah, I'd take Commie over CR in this case because I can't even understand CR's, but really there's no good way to handle this in a video format.
>>135129416
horriblesubs is better. really.

>>135129416
Definitely CR, fuck localizing jokes and all other forms or liberal translation.

>>135136198
because Nisio wrote it so it must be correct even if it makes no sense
oknee chap
