If you can consider her scarf alive, then her hat probably wouldn't be much of a strech. Luckily the hat doesn't seem to have legs, or it would be creepy if it crawls away on its own.

And does Sakura's scarf remind you of anything?


...let's hope Sakura keeps her inventions under control, shall we?

Too late. If the previous episode is any indication, Sakura has already felt her all over with those scarf hands. On a bed, no less.

If Akiha had't stepped in she would have been pushed onto the bed and had her suit torn apart.

Gotta love the next few episodes.

You can never get enough Itsuki fan service, and the show has delivered in spades thus far. Next episode is supposed to be a fan service episode, but who know what that means in Sora kake girl. Leopard fan service?

I hope we get more from the ICP duo, they are my favorite.

My description for Sakura is, waku waku gero gero... mimi... loli... I think I just tried some Sakurago and failed. Maybe just amazing is enough to describe her. She is a mammal amphibian insect altogether.

I wonder what Sakura does with her hands, her descendants may devolve arms when I think of it.

She should be really good at breaststroke or frog style swimming.

Her scarf reminds me of Lei Lei, large hands and Zeruel, Angel of Strength.

But she's cute like that .

It would be easier to say that their entire family is weird.

Of course Gokigenyou was great along with Oh~hohohoho~

FFFF Just as I was reading this comment, one of Rie Tanaka's songs started playing on my media player. (To be specific, "Make a miracle!", the ED she sang Akane-iro.)

Akane-iro has a ton of EDs. It keeps changing every end of the episode.

But back to Sora Kake again, it seems that Sakura is going to beat my waifu in popularity soon. Either she is ridiculously cute, or the fanbase is made up of largely yuri-mad fanboys and fangirls as well as lolicons.

Wrong. It's both.

About the subbing, which one is good right now? yesy is dropped the moment they mistranslated the "AMEEEZINGU!!", no forgiveness can be given. However, as someone said, StrikeS also has their side of problem. I don't know anything about ASF.

...woops. I left out the "for" between "sang" and "Akane-iro". *goes to edit that*

Anyway, ya, I am aware. Her ED isn't the only one I have.

Well she IS ridiculously cute, you have to admit.

The character design in this anime is awesome, and hers is specially delicious. You just can't beat that scarf.

I take offence at that - I am a yuri fanboy and I don't like Sakura all that much.

Next episode is supposed to be a fan service episode, but who know what that means in Sora kake girl.

It means each and every episode.

If Akiha had't stepped in she would have been pushed onto the bed and had her suit torn apart.

I kind of wish Akiha was a bit late, as to see whether she would have become jealous (since Akiha x Itsuki is the way to go). Though, I guess UL would have interfered anyway.

Heh~, I didn't know that. As far as lolis go, she's more on the uncute side...

It's worth watching ep 7 for hearing that pharse XD

Multiple people have pointed out to me how the line was supposed to be "amazing," and now it's being used as a meter of sub quality. I can only say that this surprises and, to an extent, frustrates me.

I want to ask you, besides your own opinion of what it sounds like (because, in my opinion, it is undoubtedly "onee" that she says, not "ame"), do you have any proof of the fact that it is supposed to be "amazing"? I saw the post earlier in this thread that mentioned that the name of Sakura's QT ability is "Inspiration" and that she shouts "Amazing" when it's activated. However, what I did not see was a citation for this information. I have not seen any evidence that this is the case from anyone or anything official, and so far it's all been speculation. In fact, there hasn't even been official word I've seen that Sakura is a QT (though so much can easily be surmised, and I assume it to be true). This isn't so much a mistranslation as much as it is misinformation, at best. But there is no official proof that either side is correct, so how can you be sure it's a mistranslation when you don't know, as a fact, what is right?

I am ready to admit any mistakes. "To err is human, to forgive is divine." We may have erred, but to not forgive such a thing, when you lack any hard evidence that it was a mistake in the first place, is an error in itself, to me.

If I'm not mistaken, Kazane mentioned something about Sakura's ability. Could be wrong, though; I'd have to go back and check.

Also, that one word was an isolated incident; there were quite a few things that yesy did in episode 7 that I preferred over StrikeS' version (for one thing, the translation of the subtitles for what Sakura said about Nerval's ability).

Regardless, we won't be able to know until Sunrise produces official material saying "When Sakura is thinking about a problem, she says [so and so] until she finally comes up with a solution, at which point she says [some other thing]," or, alternatively, produces material stating that she does NOT say anything in particular in those moments, but rather it was because she was calling out to one of her older sisters.

About the whole "Amazing!" thing ... why is it even controversial? What did yesy translate it as? She clearly yammers: "Ame...ame...ame... AMAZING!" (a-me-ji-n-gu) The entire show is ridiculous, so theres no point in really analyzing why or what she says too much IMHO.

Also, some people just have a better ear than others, even if overall they are a fairly good translator. I've seen this sorta case come up many many times over the years.

i didn't really care about those parts, as long as someone can explain it, that's all it matters to me

[JediNight]

Then going back a few pages about the relationship between the colonies -- I'm 95% positive StrikeS is correct. Not only does Nerval say "musuko yo", but the entire conversation was talking about adults vs children. Leopard claiming he had surpassed them in power, then Nerval claiming his power wasn't yet complete. And Xanthippe calling him a child and Nerval saying "We'll meet again, son."

All a very logical flow, and no chance to be misconstrued if Engrish was involved, etc.
