Episode 5 was encoded totally wrong

wao · 2003-11-22, 07:20

I do this: I download whatever is out first, and if I'm not happy with it I download another version of it. Sometimes subs that come out later may not pick up everything - for instance, I believe episode 4 the part where Mario said "We exported kids - uh, lambs" or something like that - Seichi Fansubs picked it up correctly but ANBU which released later didn't.

I KNOW it's nitpicking, but for the really stupid, it makes things a little better:

Mario said "ko... kohitsuji". It could be "l..lambs" as ANBU translated it, or it could be "kids... no, lambs" as Seichi translated (kohitsuji - lamb, ko - child). I find the 2nd one to be more accurate.

I'm not going against either one as it's really up to debate. There are also other factors - I ended up downloading ANBU's and deleting Seichi's because the quality wasn't good enough for me.

I think almost all my Gunslinger Girl eps are by different subbers. AonE, ANBU, Triad... and ANBU again. I don't know about #5 - a group I've never heard of before posted it up quite fast, but I have my doubts about it based on various factors. I'll wait for something a little more trustable.

Actually, that's not our translation you're quoting there. I never use the words 'kid' or 'kids'.

i dunno which is good, but i randomly picked ANBU. seems like i made the wrong choice, triad seems to be more popular.

Sorry, I guess my memory must be failing fast.

It was Miyuki Fansubs... sorry, really sorry!!

Yeesh. Too much Toblerone is no good.
