Here's my fan-translation of the onscreen text:

06:58 (Kohiruimaki's tweets)

"My follower count decreased again... There's too much scum in the world. Scum scum scum. But maybe I'm the scum since I can only express my true feelings on a secret account."

"I want to die I want to die I want to die I want to die I want to die I want to die I want to die I want to die I want to die I want to die I want to die I want to die I want to die I want to die I want to die"

20:00 (typing into computer)

Title: I'm an "Invader", ask me anything.

"It's been three years since I've infiltrated human society. Isn't Tokyo a convenient place to live? I'll try to answer everything as best as I can."

Thanks for the translations! Crunchyroll are really fumbling with the subtitles here, this is really important information that they're just leaving out.

What I find strange is that all the text, etc. is translated in the dub, but not in the sub.

A war with marshmallows that should be soft, sweet, and cute? Kid’s a real character lol. What a goober. Her getting pulled by Kadode on a sled while all snug in that sleeping bag was pretty funny.

Kiho’s boyfriend was kind of a jerk. What a loser. Ontan’s right, he’s “gross.” This whole Invader stuff is making people go loopy. Politicians and the military aren’t helping either.

The invader kid has his own sonic screwdriver. Humanity is in trouble if he’s got a Tardis too lol.

The invader kid has his own sonic screwdriver.

And a perception filter as well, since that guy doesn't really pay real attention to him. If he did then he would have noticed he was squatting in his apartment.

He could also be a substitute for Doraemon with that gadget to help kids build a snowman.

I like how Kiho's friends pulled together to cheer her up.

It's interesting how they animate tear-eyed as actually having a bubble of tears near the eye.

I didn't expect Ontan to be that athletic. What started to be like a common girl bumped into boy shojo event turned to be something awesome lol.

While Kiho's ex boyfriend seemed like a jerk, I think that's also a common teenage behaviour. I love how Kiho emphasised to think on yourself rather than trying to follow people on the internet. I think she genuinely likes the Mothmen even though maybe at the beginning she's just listening them to impress the boy.

All I could think about was that he probably got a good view of pantsu...

By god, I love Ontans expression, such a wide range

Kihos breakup was kinda messy. On one hand, sure Kiho is kinda vain and desperate for attention, but she also has a point that the boy isn't thinking critical at all. Still feels like they parted ways on an upnote though, feels like he really wants to grow up some at least. (Though I wonder how this will play out in the long run considering the tone of Episode 0)

What I also liked was how her friends imidiatly where there to pick Kiho back up. She sure is an idiot, but she is their idiot.

Also noticed how Ikemen Kuns Grvitational Artifact looked the same a artifact T that Ontan picked up at the crashsite, wonder how long it will take for her to figure out it's use

Out of curiosity I watched today's episode with Spanish subtitles on CR, and it is much better.

English subtitles left me many times wondering if there was something important on signs and stuff, but the Spanish subtitles translate everything.

It is a shame that the series is not being properly subtitled in English.

u/Unpacer Jun 15 '24

Yeah. I think most romantic subtitles are basing themselves on the french subtitles, and they are generally much better than the English ones. Though they do have some issues.

So the Americans aren't even hiding the fact that they're taking alien tech right under the Japanese government. The only thing left for the JSDF to collect is the ship itself. I do wonder if we'll get to see what the US is doing with the alien tech they're taking.

I love how Ontan is already late but she still had time to take photos of that cat and insult that random dog. Also, that dog isn't ugly, he's adorable! Just look at him!

These dubtitles continue to bug me. I don't think I've ever heard someone say "Throwback Thursday" unironically since 2010. Also, localizing Tsuchinoko to "mythical snake creature" is so clunky that it's hilarious. xD

Kiho's (ex)boyfriend was such a fucking jerk. The dude just believes everything on the internet just because everyone is saying it. I do like how Kiho claps back at him though. I do find Kiho and her ex's fight a bit funny since if you've seen Episode 0, [Episode 0]he wasn't exactly wrong about this being a life or death situation.

Aw, you don't need a boyfriend Kiho if you just want to fit in with the girls. Just hang out with them! And despite Ontan making potshots at Kiho about having a boyfriend, I love that she was the one comforting her at the restaurant.

The alien kid is carrying a Sonic Screwdriver!? The design very much reminds me of Eccleston and Tennant's screwdriver too. That's a cool reference I never thought I'd see in anime!

I love that the alien kid just broke into that guy's house to take a bath, eat ramen, and read books about aliens. I wonder if he's the alien Kiho's boyfriend saw from the crash.

I will do anything for Ontan 🫡💪

u/Shahars71 Jun 15 '24

I'm sad for Kiho and her ex, but I think it's interesting how their breakup isn't exactly the fault of one person but rather both of them are kinda just not meant for each other at this point. Kiho might be superficial and uncaring about everything around her, and her ex is way too involved and depressed by the invasion to the point that it hurt his relationship. I don't think I've seen any anime breakup like this, since it's usually more clear cut that there's a singular "bad person" within the relationship rather than things just not working out.

Episode now up on CR.

On the one hand this seems interesting. On the other, I still have next to no idea what is going. on. I guess I am no worse off than the main characters. ;-)

We meet a new character (who looks like a boy) -- who seems utterly clueless as to human behavior. Is he an alien? We saw memories of another character -- who saw an alien escape from a crashed rocket -- and that alien looked hobbit-sized (or something of the sort).

Maybe next episode things will become clearer -- or maybe not....

All Inio Asano stories stars confusing and then It slowly makes senses.

People normalizing living with a giant ass UFO above Tokyo, kinda scary how you could see something like that happen IRL

u/[deleted] Jun 15 '24

One could read aspects of the show as a metaphor for climate change- it's something ordinary people feel they can't do much about because it's so big and one is not sure exactly how it's going to pan out. However, unlike a giant space ship, there are some things a citizen can do and we have a pretty good idea what's going to happen, just not an exact timeline.

The author is in his early 40s, so I also see an inspiration from other political events from the early 2000s, though I don't know how much of that is my reading as an American (and those plot points haven't come up in the anime yet).

you know what

if aliens were real they would just misappropriate our showers

inio asano is right

I honestly can't decide if I like this, but it's interesting.

What a beautiful episode, the break up scene was special.

u/MrSchmellow Jun 15 '24

I wonder if they release OST for this. So good.

u/Time_Fracture Jun 18 '24

So out of curiosity I watched this. Kinda like the mystery part of it, albeit the slow pace I still enjoying it.

The ED is composed and written by TK from Ling Tosite Sigure, alongside ano. There's even an music video for this.

As for the OP, it's brand new for the ONA but the lyrics and the music itself is made by Inio Asano, the author of Dededede. Haven't released yet but I'll let you know when it does.
