Aoi will always be the Pon-Pon Crepe image girl in my heart.
Halloweens are for fansubbing.

Kyoukai no Kanata — 05
Nothing beats a real imouto
And now for something completely different. Mitsuki jumps in the rankings and is absolutely great this episode. Things of note include the new/modified terminology “shadowed”, which basically means “possessed by a shade” (which is what Mirai thought Akihito was in the first episode). They also finally used the word “youmuseki”, which was almost put in as “rock-mode shades”. There was probably something else… (usual spoiler warning)

Aikatsu! – 54
Come on, introduce Sora already.
Promotional photo = 宣伝材料 (sendenzairyou, or advertisement ingredients) = 宣材 (senzai for short) = 洗剤 (senzai, meaning “detergent/soap”) = a joke.
意外 (igai, which we translated as “candid(ness)”) is kinda like like “igaiga”, which is kind of a throat-tickly sort-of onomatopoetic-ish thing.

Oh, and TS I didn’t do after the break.
Kyoukai no Kanata — 04
Spoiler: Everyone gets naked this episode
And here we are for the second night of Walpurgisnacht. I hope you like crying girls, because that’s what you’re getting.

Kiniro Mosaic – Batch
Aikatsu! – 53
Best non-yuri couple in the show (not that that says much)
The absolute taste thing reminded me of Kitchen Princess (also known as Kitchen no Ohime-sama). Wait… how does one usually romanize お姫様? Ohime-sama looks wrong. O-hime-sama looks stupid. Ohimesama looks awkward.
Whatever. Kitchen Princess. Best shoujo manga I’ve ever read.
(Also, since apparently I should put more notes here, Noelle’s name is spelled that way because that’s what it is. (Seira’s name isn’t spelled Sarah or anything though, because we decided not to.) The Japanese version of do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-do comes from the iroha ordering of the Japanese syllabary. And some other notey things you can probably figure out.)

On “dreamshades”
This is more important so it goes on top. For the controversial “youmu” translation, we originally had “demon” to go along with cambion, but changed it to “shade” in episode 2 to match the Void Shadow. Other groups have phantom, youmu, or the much debated “dreamshade”. To everyone who pretends to understand Japanese and tries to know better than actual fansubbers: fuck you. As this latest episode of kyoukana demonstrated with the dream monologue, taking clues from the kanji used (妖夢) and attempting to localize is in fact the best way to translate. Sure, UTW took a bit of a gamble, but it paid off this time, and it should be taken whenever possible.

Once again: fuck you.
Kyoukai no Kanata — 03
This anime features unobtrusive dialog so that the viewers can fully enjoy the cuteness of the girls
The only real note is that apparently animal crackers and animal biscuits are distinct and different, and the latter are more oishii. Spoiler images after the break.

I think she’s the best one.
I’m so looking forward to some clothes-making idols.
(Also, something went wrong. The v2 works.)

Kyoukai no Kanata — 02
I wanted to use a winking one, but her eyes are too beautiful
We made a few changes this episode, namely turning 妖夢 (youmu) from “demon” to “shade”. With the advent of an important figure that has “shadow” in it’s name, this seemed like an appropriate choice. For the record, “cambion” and “exorcist” have not changed. Also, what we had as custodian last episode is now “Cleaner[s]”, as it seems to be an exorcist-related group that cleans up their messes. Pretty sure that’s it. Plot starts to be fleshed out this episode, so enjoy.
