Literal translation with TL notes
Or even just the Japanese word in parentheses next to the translated word to show the pun.
>>138803834
Ah yes, you managed to be fluent in Japanese in less than 3 months, classic Anon.
>>138803871
As close to the original as possible with a few TL notes for things that cannot be translated properly like puns or jokes involving wordplay.

Neither one of which are actually translations. What you want is to know Japanese with no translations. Watch it raw then and quit complaining.
I'm a horrible person because this thread irritates me for the wrong reason.
Regardless, a non-localized (=literally translated) pun is a shit stain. A comedy that draws its humor from its puns is no longer a comedy when you have removed all the puns. I am not sure what exactly you want the subbers to do. Teach you Japanese?
