After thinking it over...I really like this idea. Though it does mean I have to get to that last commentary soon...orz

You have no idea.

IIRC, they just take some group's work and edit it: no idea how good at Japanese their checker/editor is. Then again, most of the misses have been a matter of interpretation (or not worth a mention), so it's possible that they just weren't fans enough to actually want to understand the series thorougly.

I feel I must comment on this at least once: The new opening of the show has amazing quality. I did not like the original titles, but these ones... I very seldomly skip them when seeing those episodes.
It's Kawamori himself that you should praise for that.

- Good table manners apparently weren't high on Graces schedule when teaching Sheryl. You can almost see Altos thought process of "I got to teach her to use chopsticks sometime soon". ^^
Perhaps Grace and Sheryl always ate Western style? You know how Japanese people always don't expect us Westerners to be able to use them ("Wow, you're good at using chopsticks!" etc...)

Yoshino apparently confirmed this in an interview, that Alto didn't have time to read it until later (Animedia Animage, Aug 2009).

Wish I could get confirmation from someone, because he had a few interesting things to say about the final episodes...
