Of course, sometimes there is no way to translate something other then literally, but when one has the opportunity, one should take it. How many times have you seen "Why at a time like this?" used in a fansub? Does anyone actually talk like that in English? Of course not. We either say "Why now, of all times?", and usually just "Why now?". So why do many groups insist on using the literal translation?
