Dansai Bunri no Crime Edge – 10

Not quite the pirate the manga cover promised…

There are a few things that I want to note.

1. The title of the episode is a terrible pun in Japanese with “standing ovation” and “baby”. It gets even worse in English.

2. There appears to be a typo or transcription mistake (in Japanese) in one of the text messages. We translated it as if it wasn’t incorrect. I’m too lazy to check which one right now but if I get un-lazy soon I’ll edit that in.

3. Something else. I’m kinda sleepy. I’ll remember all the things I wanted to say eventually. It can’t be helped.

It's hard to avoid spoilers, so have a sexhair Ichigo

Notes time! A certain bright character’s name means “light”, so enjoy the concept of making yet another name pun.  And speaking of name puns, the three girls from Mizuki’s past each have first and last names that phonetically start with the words for “one”, “two”, and “three”.  Clever, right?

There would be more typesetting if a certain person wasn’t being tortured by the sudden heat wave.  But come to think of it, it’s much hotter where I am.  Guess there’s a higher concentration of idols down here.

You don’t see it here, but in this show, ellipses have four dots.

Today I have two TL notes for you.

1) When Kozakura starts talking about “surrogates”, she’s saying 代償, which is actually how “Instead” is normally written. Whether this is intentional or just a voice actor reading it incorrectly is unknown.

2) The title of the next episode is スタンディング・ベイベーション, or “Standing Babytion”. It’s a lame pun with “standing ovation” (like in baseball) and “baby” (as in the new character you’ll meet next week). And it’s even lamer after it gets translated to English. Oh well. It couldn’t be helped.

Where did my last 32 weeks just go? Anyway, two minor decisions this episode were brought to you by the power of flipping a coin.  This episode also had the most spoken lines in a single Aikatsu episode thus far, and would have had the longest typeset if I had had my way.  However, I always keep the viewers in mind, so I spared you the cpu usage.

Okay! Finally got this episode out (messing with kfx is suffering, don’t do it). Lots of fun little things I got to do with the translation too. Only note is about kinpira, and the root vegetable they mention gobo. It’s just a type of stir-fry.

A scene.

Thing seven of scissors-hair.

I was assured that everyone knows about the suspension bridge effect, but I had barely heard of it so I guess maybe I should explain it here? But if everyone knows about it then it’d look stupid if I tried to explain it, so I guess I won’t. Also, I was assured that nobody else knows the proper use of the term “fetishism”, so I’ll leave it at that.

This episode was pretty straightforward, I think.  Next episode is finally the long awaited Mother’s Day one where (most likely) Ichigo finds out the big reveal.  Hopefully no delays next week.
