I hope the subtitles on the DVDs are good... that would be the deciding factor in my purchase, especially since I already downloaded the G.U.I.S./MegaAnon subbed episodes before they pulled them.

Well so much for the "Arrghus is Robo Knight" theory, which is fine because that would have made no sense if it was true. I mean, not that this show has had problems doing things that make no sense, but at least it's one less thing to complain about. Ha ha, and of course there's no explanation for why the Turbo Falconzord is needed for the Ultimate Legendary Megazord.

a lot of series start with three, even! Ninja Storm, Gekiranger/Wild Force, and technically even SPD started with 3 rangers because Red and Yellow joined after the first morph! also I watched episode 33 of ToQger and it made me realize that the villains really do carry that show a lot. If there isn't a lot of villain interaction, it ends up not being a great episode. It was also odd that, after being poisoned, they missed a perfect opportunity for Akira to spout off about dying and have the other rangers complain about him getting them down or whatever.

Yes they usually have three at first or in Sun Vulcan's case, three. Doesn't mean that Goranger, JAKQ, and Battle Fever didn't have five.

The whole reason why Super Sentai has giant robots in the first place is because of Leopardon, Spider-Man's mech in his series, and Battle Fever J, for the majority of toku history considered the first sentai at ALL was partially based on Captain America and the Avengers, hence the international motif and fighting terrorists. Tokusatsu has its main roots in two sources. Superheroes and kabuki. Two great ham and cheese sandwiches that taste great together.

I almost prefer TV-N's Shinkenger subs just because of how overwhelmingly Japanese the show itself it. It's not a huge deal, but given that they model the team dynamic off of a feudal lord and his retainers, I feel like seeing the honorifics and the like adds to the experience.

Solaris Knight posted:Battle Fever J, for the majority of toku history considered the first sentai at ALL Correction: SUPER Sentai. Goranger and JAKQ were for a long time considered Sentai, but not Super Sentai. The difference is apparently the giant robots, which Battle Fever J was the first to have (Goranger and JAKQ just had vehicles, not robots). Also fun to note: Goranger vs JAKQ established those series as being in the same universe as Kamen Rider and Kikaider, as Kikaider, Amazon, and V3 were shown fighting in other locations in the world. This may also be a reason why it took so long for Goranger/JAKQ to be declared Super Sentai, they weren't sure how to deal with the fact that these other heroes technically would then exist in the Super Sentai universe. In the end though, the answer turned out to be "Pretend that crossover never happened (or pretend that these guys weren't mentioned if it did)" since Narutaki specifically says that the Super Sentai universe is a world without Kamen Riders when Decade goes there. jivjov posted:I've always held the opinion that TV-N subs are better than not being able to watch a show at all. Say what you will about the honorifics and crazy fonts, but it's still a set of English language subtitles. Banana new shoe! But yeah I agree, their subtitles are poo poo but I still watched a lot of Rider and Sentai from them as well as a couple of other things (Rescue Force wooooo), and I can't bring myself to tell someone "If your only choice is TV-N then just don't watch it or learn Japanese." jivjov posted:I almost prefer TV-N's Shinkenger subs just because of how overwhelmingly Japanese the show itself it.

I could deal with notes about particular Japanese cultural references a lot more if they didn't do poo poo like this: http://onoretvn.tumblr.com/post/45103156389/this-does-stick-out-more-as-tvn-refer-to-it-as I couldn't find the one example that made me actually yell "Come ON" at my monitor on there, which is when Jii says "We'll talk with the [Japanese word] later" with at the top of the screen "[Japanese word] = accountants" I mean that literally takes more work and effort than just actually putting the word "accountants" in the subtitles and it's not even like accountants are some weird obscure Japanese thing. The only thing I can think of that would even sort of make sense is if they were trying to go "We're teaching you Japanese words!" but no, they're really not, and they never even said that was their intention so it was just stupid.

I still say they've gotten better about it over the years. Yeah, they leave the honourifics in, so you get weird things like "Belt-san" in Drive, but that's just how they roll. (I like the honourifics. It bugs the poo poo out of me watching a sub which doesn't use them, like Kamen Rider the First.  )

Yeah, they leave the honourifics in, so you get weird things like "Belt-san" in Drive, but that's just how they roll. According to Magenta's roasts of their Gaim Subs, they really haven't. Honorifics isn't even the problem people have with their subs. And honestly I don't think anyone is too bothered by honorifics. That "issue" mostly comes down to the personal tastes of the subber and the audience. Some people like honorifics, some people don't. I don't really care either way, but I wouldn't tell someone not to watch a perfectly good sub just because they use honorifics. Being just plain bad subs on the other hand...

My feeling is some honorifics is fine. I'm not really going to complain too much about "Belt-san." But there's no excuse for stuff like -tachi being left in the subs. poo poo, I remember seeing -tachi in Shinkenger and had to Google to find out what it meant because for all their sub notes they didn't feel a need to explain what that one meant, and it's trivially easy to just put "and the others" or "and everyone else" instead.

As someone who doesn't speak Japanese, how do I know if TVN did good or not? Because Magenta said so? How can I verify that? If I could speak Japanese, I wouldn't need to watch subs in the first place. Maybe Magenta is a lovely translator; I just have no way of knowing. That's the issue with translation in general, that the audience isn't in a position to know if the work was done well or not; they have to rely on and trust the translator to do well because they literally don't know any better. There are apparently atrocious commercial subs out there, too, so it's an issue with translation in general, I guess, that lovely work gets put out. I will say this; the issues Magenta brought up about TVN's workflow are, I feel, accurate. I've volunteered to do QC for them a couple of times and it's always a horrible, prolonged process which drives me away each time. When you have people who are not fluent in english critiquing an english translation, you're going to run into issues once in a while. I've told the guys at TVN how I feel about that and how I think it could be improved, but it's really up to them to decide it's a problem worth doing something about.

I think it's important to actually link to said rant if you're going to mention it. Not only because it'll give people context, but because it quite honestly really deserves to be read. If I still had trust for TV-N after the Gaim roasts (which killed my trust in a subbing group I had been following for years, even if I already had problems with them, including the -tachi said before, the "you guys" for every occasion, and especially SPACE KITA (gently caress, I don't know Japanese and I can translate that)), then this was definitely the last thing I needed to get rid of it. Even if I can't agree with everything Over-Time or Aesir does, it's still better than this.

Blaze Dragon posted:I think it's important to actually link to said rant if you're going to mention it. Reading that made me remember that I was enjoying Rockman.EXE Axess and was really bummed when they stopped doing it. Also reading the part about misleading people and making them misunderstand the major plot points of a show reminded me of Kamen Rider Blade and their subs basically implying that Tachibana could control the Undead and how that confused the hell out of me for a good while. Anyway I can kind of understand the idea that hey, if I don't speak Japanese, I can't really tell that subs are good. I mean I understood that stupid poo poo like "ORE SANJOU" in the subs was bad subbing...during the Kabuto arc of Decade, I was really annoyed that they didn't translate any of the Den-O form catch phrases, and thus had literally no idea what they meant since I hadn't watched Den-O yet. I also understood that stuff like "My bag of tolerance has snapped!" during Heartcatch was a bad translation too, since as a native English speaker I can tell that's probably a literal translation of what Cure Blossom is saying and so it sounds unnatural. But as far as plot or what characters are generally saying, I have no clue. Like Blade mentioned earlier, I had no clue that stuff was badly translated, for all I knew the show itself was actually saying Tachibana could control Undead and then just dropped that or pretended it didn't happen. The fact that Magenta was doing those Gaim roasts though makes me feel that his subs are at least acceptable and he probably knows what he's talking about. If he was just making stuff up I'm sure at least one other person who knows Japanese would have said "Yeah this guy is full of poo poo" unless there was some giant conspiracy. Solaris Knight posted:Ah, but that's why I said for the MAJORITY of toku history. Until Ohranger, when they wanted a nice round number to use as an anniversary. I was just kinda splitting hairs. Even when they weren't considered Super Sentai, Goranger/JAKQ were still considered Sentai. It's just your post said they weren't considered Sentai at all and Battle Fever was considered the first. Which isn't technically true, it was considered the first Super Sentai, not the first Sentai.

Apologies to Burk for my kind of mean rant against you earlier. I listened to the last half season of the podcast, and you really weren't even annoying at all. I think maybe the difference is I listen to talky podcasts at 1.5x speed now, so you were sped up a little and your voice wasn't as low/slow.
