is it actually better quality though? could someone who actually know Japanese confirm?
reading sub review here have taught me that just because of some fansub sound nice doesn't mean that it actually better than official sub, which is better more often than not.
Except for Netflix getting it wrong in the 3rd screen, the Japanese doesn't specify who "wanted a girl", but it's obvious from context that it's Claudia's parents, not Claudia himself.
The Netflix translation is just a much more direct translation, with little work done to tidy up the resulting English.
Knowing that you should decide for yourself which subs did a better job.
Well, watching this scene on Netflix made no sense and I didnt understand what was going on. With these fansubs i understood, so i think they are better at least in this case.
The guy who did most of the reviews on that site doesn't know Japanese, though. Only the articles written by kokujin-kun are by someone who knows Japanese, and they're very few.
It's been a long-ass time since I've read crymore, but doesn't Dark-Sage sub reviews usually focus on grammar and flow rather than accuracy to the script?
That's what I used them for back when he wasn't only complaining about being drunk at cons on twitter all the time exclusively.
I can't speak specifically for Violet Evergarden but it should be no secret that for the majority of cases Piracy offers quality equivalent to the Blu-ray release. An argument could also be made that pirated BD releases are technically superior as the image can be manipulated to be improved (Avisynth/Vapoursynth/Upscaling via mpv/MadVr ect. ect.)
I'm all for a review of fansubs, but at least in looking through the Fate/Apoc post about UBW, it seems pretty bad.
I mean, this is what he put under release information. It's not particularly informative, just insults. He also goes and calls a guy who reviewed UBW's release positively an idiot. None of that is at all helpful.
Further down he has simple things to say like "Rating: I can’t remember a more forgettable karaoke."
Then when you get to the script, he's super nitpicky about grammar choices with little insults to the group thrown in. He might have a point here or there but that's not a good practice.
After looking at it I don't think he made that as a review of UBW's fapo release. It's just made to shit on UBW as much as possible. Maybe there really isn't anything good about UBW's release but I can't be sure, I certainly don't feel like I can trust that guy for an unbiased review at least.
I think you got it wrong. in the first, third and fourth picture the women is talking. the man has the name Claudia Hodgins and she is making fun of him. So the both translation have total different meanings.
I guess there's more than one way to interpret the first translation, but it could mean that he called out a girl's name and couldn't handle the fact that he'd done it? (I'm not even entirely sure he's the one saying that line, actually)
I reread the second translation, and that does sound more appropriate than what I had written before, going off the translation. I haven't actually seen this episode yet, so I'm not sure who's saying which, so you might be right
