I would like to register immense entertainment and a vote for Sumire.

And a further note that I really wish I knew what Iris's actual job was, seeing as she...doesn't pilot anything, doesn't appear onstage much and appears to exist only to torment all she touches.

...no? When I say "don't translate it" I don't mean leave in all the onii-chans. I'm saying remove them entirely, change the sentence structure if necessary and express whatever relationship or character trait they serve as shorthand for using something that sounds natural in English.

Well, that's a hell of a lot of work, basically. Japanese uses a very, very different sentence structure than English, and rephrasing and localization is more work than most fan translators want to do.
