I just saw the Solar&Faith sub of Genshinken. It was pretty good, but I'm not interested in giving a general review of the show. There's something that I need to comment on about the fansub.

Defying all logic and taste, Solar&Faith translated ero-game as hentai game. I'm sure that if kj1980 saw that, he promptly died of a heart attack. I would have thought that this would be a good place for non-Japanese people to learn correct terminology, but instead they decided to use the common mistakes made by American otaku.

Aside from this error, Solar&Faith did a wonderful job that helps to teach the viewer about unfamiliar terms related to anime. That makes me wonder all the more how the could have made the hentai game error.
