It's the internet. There's something for everyone! (yes, safe and cutesy link for the understandably wary)

Crayfish are cool but I hate 'em anyway. When you line a running irrigation ditch in wetlands, you gotta deal with those things brushing up against your legs and poo poo and snipping at you like they're some kind of motherfucking underwater centipede.

Oh man, totally forgot this was the beginning of season 3. That means the first appearance of Urakawa. :neckbeard:

I loved Urakawa's debut. Being late for his first show was funny. His little chat with Abe was great.

Do you find something comical about my appearance when I'm driving my automobile?
I have two questions: how common is it for subtitle groups who are working on the same show to talk it out and make sure they aren't covering the same material?

Also, is there any etiquette in the fan-sub community about respecting another group's turf, or is it "Hey, we want to do our translations our way, so you guys be damned?" This isn't meant as an attack on TV Nihon, but rather, more just a general query.

Does this show get Japanese subtitles like dramas do? Does Arino use a lot of Kansai slang and twenty year-old cultural references?

No, not even the DVD's have subtitles.

I have been told that Arino uses a fair amount of Kansai slang but I don't know enough to really comment on that.

And the show is one long twenty year old cultural reference.

Keep in mind that for everyone on the SA Team this is our first time doing anything like this. We all jumped in feet first to a massive project that we thought no one else was working on. So we won't be able to speak from experience on the subject.

However, it's my understanding that cooperation between subtitling groups is about as rare as you can get. Clover, the mystery team (I can't say anything about them and it's possible they may never have a release), and ourselves have talked to avoid stepping on each others toes; we all just want to spread the GCCX love and there's plenty to go around. As far as I can tell this kind of relationship is not normal.

Edit: One more thing. The French subtitling group is still out there and doing episodes. I just found their translation of the original Takeshi's Challenge segment (that's a video link, of course). Nice to see GCCX getting more global.

Arino speaks Kansai Japanese, but it's the typical 'comedian' type easily understood Kansai-ben often seen on TV, which is easily understandable by anyone who knows Japanese. It's mostly a difference of some particles, intonation, and a probably a few words.

He uses tons of the dialect. Tons and tons. Everywhere he can, essentially. The SA translation team handles it very well, usually by having him drop his final G's. Kansai is my people, and hearing the dialect has only made Arino that much more adorable in my eyes (ears?). Just listening to a GCCX video running in the background will put a big goofy smile on my face.

I know it's been said before many times, but that recent episode really hammered home how much better SAGCCX and clover translations are than tv-nihon's. Tons of inconsistently untranslated words and really awkward literal translations.

I'll take more translated GCCX any way I can get it, but SAGCCX versions of their episodes later down the line would be awesome.

That's right. That strange Journey to the West game starts in this episode and Arino makes some amusing phone calls to try to get help just figuring out what he's supposed to be doing.

I had no idea it was ever a game until I saw this segment on other season 3 episodes. Does anyone know how popular the tv show was/is over there? I can't find much info.

Can't watch this until later, looking forward to seeing him struggle through for the first time.

My dad sells them to pet stores sometimes and I used to have to catch them in the back yard for transporting. It's awesome how much personality they seem to have. Then one dies and literally ruins the whole pond they were in so the whole thing has to be drained and cleaned. :argh:

That whole episode is sad, because the ending he's shooting for can only be obtained by finishing the game in an hour or less. Which he's never told. And there's absolutely no way he's going to get it first try. And he doesn't know he's going to need to reset and try again, so he just keeps playing. It's just doomed from the start, and knowing that is so :smith:

That's the best/worst part about this show for me at times. I remember just how hard it is to achieve the challenge he's going for and have a small laugh, then realize the poor guy's going to be beating his head against a wall to try and make it.

But Arino's so awesome, I still love seeing him try. :allears:

I really do hope TV-Nihon pushes out episode 12 within a reasonable time-frame as that's a personal favorite of mine.

To quote myself from the previous thread:

Episode 12 突撃!風雲たけし城 (Totsugeki! Fuun Takeshi-jou!). I'm not sure if he's used it in any others. It looked exhausting to play with and it did a number on his hair.

Oh definitely. TV Nihon, I mean it's cool that they're doin' poo poo again, but it's always very literal and unlocalized. They just straight up say sempai and italicize the phonetic clipped English loanwords, after all.

I think season 15 might wind up being the best season yet. The only challenge I'd consider a complete clunker is F-Zero (the adventure game based on the long running television series wasn't that interesting either but that may get better with understanding it more). This season's biggest weakness is that the supplemental segments haven't been as good as some of the earlier ones (though showing off terrible famicom peripherals has been fun).

I suspect that a lot of that has been due to AD Takahashi. If the books and other statements are to be believed the AD has a lot of influence in the game selection.

I'm ashamed of myself for skipping to the end of that Battletoads episode to see if he succeeded or not. But that crazy motherfucker actually did it. I'm genuinely surprised, as I beat the game myself when I was a kid and can sympathize with his struggle.

Just dropping in to say that Polysics shows are amazing. Especially the ones in North America where they're not that crowded and you can stand right next to the stage. It's a shame Kayo, the keyboardist, left the band.

That fanart is nothing short of incredible and I may very well turn it into a wallpaper. I'm almost caught up on all translated episodes which is something I never thought I'd have to say!

Well, that answers that. While I don't want to sound like I'm dancing on the grave or anything, the question will come up eventually: Are the old, overlapping episodes going to be restored after the fact?

I've still not seen most of the Kotaku episodes, because licensing laws seem to forget that there are still human beings living outside of America. I do hope to see the SAGCCX subs of the applicable episodes return after Kotaku lose their license.
