I really really want this chick to step on my dick.
KFX next week, when we know we have the real OP/ED video.
We need more steam-smiths to work on the DDY Hype-train. We’re in need of KFXers, Translators, and Translation Checkers as well as skilled editors, timers and typesetters. If any of these positions appeal to you, head over to our recruitment page to get started.

Man, reading No-name everytime is just annoying and ruins it for me. Thank for for doing this, but I’ll stick with HS on this one.
Okay
You should’ve named her Anon :^)
Did you think we didn’t consider that? =)
It almost happened but qqwerty veto’d it. What a guy.
Thank you QQwerty. Thank you.
Z-Nation x AoT :p
>stop translating things
How was Amazon’s original script for this episode, any good, or was major editing needed?

Shit…
It’s the thought that counts.
Only other localisation I am curious about is “bushi” being translated as “knights”, compared to something like “warrior” or “samurai” although they all would be correct I suppose.
They do seem like they are in an upper social class compared to the rest of the civilians in this show.
In terms of meaning, “Samurai” is definitely the closest. Unfortunately, calling their caste/class/organisation/whatever the “Samurai” with caps and all looks awful. We considered “Warrior” too, but that didn’t quite give off the same noble arrogance that the original is probably supposed to convey.
“Knight” is annoyingly western in its connotations, but I personally decided it was the best choice, given how they see themselves as the guardians of the people while at the same time being (as was shown) incredibly conceited.
Popo is mo bettah.
Ah lawdy da Popo shot anahda one! Wait he ain black… Fuck it den I ain’t riotin’ ovah no cracka ass cracka!
I don’t get all these complaints and discussion about how x is translated to y or translated at all. Your sub is perfectly fine the way it is – and I am VERY picky with subs. Keep up the good work!
I have to agree. Usually I like my subs rather literal, but the Mu-mei/No-name argument is beyond me.
I guess you weren’t around for the ruckus over UTW’s translation for the F/SN UBW for Illya and Shirou in episode 00, serious fans were serious in that debate.
Simple answer, you continue your high standard subs as you are, (and that is meant in a complimentary manner) and if anyone wishes to make any adjustments (as I did with the whole “Mister Bell” issue). It’s pretty simple for them, myself included to edit with Aegisub.
Amazon or crunchyroll or whoever are not an option compared with the care and attention given by DDY and several of the other fan-subbing groups.
Once again, many thanks for picking up this series and I’m looking forward to all your future releases.
Fansubs >>> streaming sites.
Why?
Because fansubs make the subs with love jaja
Typesetting, karaokes, KFK, signs, notes, proper translations, etc
This is especially important given this is one of very few good shows I’ve seen this season. Thus far, anyway.
Rename her to Anon.
Plz.
Am I the only one who didn’t like the protagonist voice ?
The voice acting for Ikoma was all over the place that episode, very deep at some stages, quite high at others and his normal tone just seems off for a person of his age.
Do like Asenshi did for mumei.
It is really nice http://www.imgur.com/gIFYngt
Sorry, but no, we won’t be doing that,
Then it can’t be helped.
I wonder why won’t you do something like them?
i wonder
Was episode 2 delayed in Japan, I noticed a Chinese raw on Nyaa, but no Japanese raw and it also wasn’t on Crunchyroll.
Yea
Not Crunchyroll I meant Horriblesubs, which also rip from Amazon.
EP 2

Uptobox isn’t available in my country.
If that’s just the Chinese cap, we can’t do anything with it.
yes chinese
Possible hired him for translate XD
Hey guys you seemed to have translated the words in this show to English, I think it really changes the meaning of the show in a bad way. Can you just give us subs in glorious nihongo?
we’ll do the next episode in full romaji
Not kanji with furigana for everything. Pathetic. Dropped.
Without being privy to the intent of the creators, I cannot say for sure, but Mumei can also be 無銘, which means “not leaving a trace” rather than “without a name”. For example a painting without a signature is 無銘. This is the perfect name for someone who is trained to go in, kill, and leave without a trace. A ninja for example.
But her name isn’t written like 無銘, it’s written 無名.
Uhh, no.
From http://dictionary.goo.ne.jp/jn/216467/meaning/m0u/
銘
1. To inscribe a history or someone’s achievement on objects such as metal and containers (such as bowls)
2. To name a significant object
3. Creator’s name written on their creations (painting with signature goes here)
4. Warnings and other words engraved deeply in someone’s heart
This is a specific form of “name”, as you should be able to tell from kanji, which is written with 金 (gold/metal) and 名 (name). For example, “mumei no katana” points to katana without a name (definition 2). So even if it was 無銘, it’d still roughly be “No Name”. An example is a main character from Fate/Extra. Fate series loves to be chuunibyou and odd, so the main character’s “true name” (never played the game so..) is 無銘 and means “No Name”.
Would it be possible to get an update on the second episode? It still says delayed on the left.
It’s not delayed at us, it’s literally delayed in Japan. Besides the leaked Chinese raw the second episode hasn’t aired yet. It’s expected to air tomorrow.
All aboard the mini hype train.
I actually liked the translation. Yes, you had to translate some words but I actually liked how you did that and it was fun comparing it to what the characters were actually saying. Well done, guys!
“Flashmouse, I choose you.”
“Waninoko, I choose you.”
I’m a little surprised you didn’t do two sub tracks, localized and not, given some of the names (especially since people are getting feisty about it). While I might not be 100% on board with the whole No-name thing, I can’t fault you for going the extra mile (as well as logically defending your decision), and these subs are definitely the best out for the show.
+1
I`m for dual-subs adapted and not – No-name is something especially irritating.
