incidentally the closest one word translation for chuunibyou would be sophomoric. Still not great because it's also used to refer to a different and specific genre.

I'd read the early chapters of To Your Eternity before, and the first episode still gave my tear ducts a workout.

Two episodes in and Odd Taxi remains surprisingly compelling for a show that's basically a series of conversations.

To Your Eternity looks good so far, and now that it's airing it's time to remind everyone the original manga is by the author of A Silent Voice and it's great.

I haven't seen anyone mention it, so I just want to point out that Fruits Basket is back on, and we're getting into the meaty revelations about the Soma family.

Talorat posted:I'm pretty sure everyone actually is animals, as the bar lady referred to his friend as a hopeless monkey rewatched that scene in the first episode and that line never comes up. no one makes the animal comparisons besides odawaka himself, and the doctor and nurse treat his describing them as "gorilla" and "alpaca" with a mix of amusement and concern. this is also explicitly our world as opposed to some zootopia-esque analogue, and odakawa's flashbacks all have human silhouettes we're only two eps in but my sense right now is that the animal-people aesthetic in this show is mainly to illustrate odakawa's alienation from everyone else

I'm generally against a dub adding in any "hip" lingo unless the nature of the story or comedy really depends on the slang of a particular time/place to work. It instantly dates things in a bad way like the pop-culture references in a Dreamworks animation, where it's often outdated before the filming is even finished.

With Dragon House Hunting it referenced Luigi's Mansion and Resident Evil visually so too late for that.

Letty basically gets a Poltergust 3000  And the Strobulb is something that shows up in the second and third games  And it sounds like he straight up says Strobulb so it's not something added by the translator.

Translating slang to slang is fine I guess, 99.99% of the time the japanese goes over my head anyway, but I do kinda miss the fansub days with TL notes (see: "nakama"). E: a whole screen of TL notes to explain why a joke is funny isn't the best application of this approach though.

The biggest indicator that everyone in Oddtaxi is human is that they name drop Starbucks and it's not some form of animal pun like Starbarks or something.
