The majority of my complaining has to do with the big reveal at the end. The "Master" you are trying to save is actually the main character from Ikki (another early Sunsoft title, and the game for which the term "kuso-ge" was invented).

TV-Nihon version:
Arino: What about the master?
Toujima: This is the master.
Arino: Isn't this person from Ikki? This person is from Ikki, isn't he?

KOTAK version:
Arino: Which one is the master?
Toujima: It's him.
Arino: This one? Isn't he one of the lives?

I can understand where maybe the average viewer might not be familiar with Ikki, but "one of the lives" doesn't make sense in any context.

一機 is a term that is thrown around enough in the series to warrant some confusion but it seems that the translator was just bored of his job and just wanted to get it over with. On the other hand, did Kotaku use caption notes to explain jokes and stuff? It could just be he didn't want to bother translating a reference he couldn't explain.

I've seen text plastered all over in some japanese talk shows.

As for why... I guess it's some kind of trend that caught on :stare:

I'm not complaining. It helps me learn kanji!

Ugh, I'm an idiot. A friend of mine is a big fan of CX and told me he heard the rumours from 'that really big Japanese forum'. I assumed he meant 2ch. He meant 4chan. God drat it, sorry.

My feed reader doesn't mention anything. In fact, Arino posted a blog 6 hours ago.

How big of a spoiler is watching the Night of the Sickle Weasels episode if you're planning to play it soon? I've been avoiding playing it because the lack of furigana and the bad resolution has made it difficult for me to look up every word I don't know. But on the other hand, having some context would make it much easier to understand what's on the screen...

I like him, can we keep him? Pleeeeeeeeease?!

Yeah, he's like Billy from retsupurae. I like him.

Seriously though, don't pick on a nice person who isn't even threadshitting or otherwise being a deliberate nuisance. Hell, even his punctuation and spelling is fine.

Whats the Japanese for 'gotta support the team' :v:

チームを応援しなきゃ(Chiimu o ooen shi nakya) is my best guess.

EDIT: I don't know how romaji works
