I spent NYE watching this year's No Laughing special, which was more of the same but there were still some really good moments.

My friend and I watched the first 3 episodes of Scorching Ping Pong Girls tonight. I liked it! Main girl when she gets full of herself is great, and she had a nice little arc in these eps.

It is pretty good! Also one of the catchiest OPs of 2016.

I'm busy writing the scanlation thread OP though... 2421 words, about 5 whole pages so far.

Is anyone even going to read this...

Are you writing a complete tutorial about how to scanlate?

A lot of those translations are wrong, but it's not like the actual titles are any good anyway.

They don't even show it in most of the episodes anyway, at least that I can remember

And they're abbreviated to just a couple of seconds after the first or second time. I think there's maybe four or five full-length transformation sequences in the entire series.

Hi chat thread! I decided to start translating Miss Bernard Said, mainly because I loved the anime. The first chapter is up on Batoto now, so check it out if you love nerdy book references and elaborate puns!

Translating puns is a nightmare. Godspeed.

There's a super elaborate triple pun in the first chapter alone, which required a whole paragraph of translation notes to explain. In fact, I'm still not sure if I managed to completely unpack it.

In my experience, not a lot of Japanese puns can be translated into an equivalent English pun (at least not without it sounding really forced), so I usually just add an explanatory note.

Drinking even a small amount before going to bed noticeably messes with my sleep pattern, and I hate feeling tired during the day, so I'm staying clear of alcohol on weeknights now.

Typing that out made me feel old.

Dub trailer for Your Name, in select Theaters April 7.

And here's a Japanese version of the same trailer.

I wonder how they dealt with the watashi/watakushi/boku/ore gag in the dub. Or in the subs, for that matter.
