Not a mistake like "masterbation."

I'm staff of a fansub group. Once, a guy missed a "it's/its" mistake, he got shit from us for months. If it's some random typo or easy to miss yet complicated grammar mistake, people are just going to be like "Well, fuck, we'll fix this in the batch," but it you pull something like "their/they're" out, no one's going to let you forget that for a long time.

Translators are immune to this (obviously, that's why we have editors in the first place), but it's really bad when someone else (usually another group) points out something that was completely and utterly mistranslated in our release. We don't give the translator the kind of shit that we'd give an editor for making an obvious mistake, but we all feel like crap.

Fucker. Like you're all cool and shit because "omg i fansub". Yes, I'm an editor as well. I'm not talking about typos or "complicated grammar mistake" I'm talking about you're/your level stuff that nobody recognizes anymore since nobody that's under 25 seems to know what a homophone is. Things like completely fucking up tense, not "hey that was a comma splice!" Or even number agreement on subject/verb/adjective. It's simple mistakes that even groups like SHS and Lunar make, who are supposed to be the editing gods, going so far as saying that editing is above translation integrity.

If you work for anyone besides the two aforementioned groups, I've found errors in just about every one of your releases that any person with a high-school-graduate level knowledge of grammar would recognize as wrong and easily fixed.

Fixed. Using "typos" followed by "mistake" gives a clumsy sounding sentence as you're mixing a plural and singular noun. Also, you ran straight on into the next phrase without either a comma or a full stop.

Editors - The real shit of the translation group.
Coherence and pretty much direction is in their field. And I have to agree that editing is above translation integrity. There is no such thing as a good "translation" in context to Japanese-English translation. The language is pretty much written in a backwards standard context compared to English.
MOST PEOPLE DON'T SEEM TO GRASP THIS CONCEPT OF MOVING WORDS AROUND MAKES IT COHERENT.

But back onto off topic. Quality checkers and editors are the meat of a group. No matter how shitty the translation, good editors are invaluable and what separates a good group from shit pie. There's nothing wrong with being a righteous editor or quality checker and I wish to see more groups with them.
Most translators are wrong with their progressive train of thought in Japanese so it doesn't really matter what they think.

There's a difference between being a self-absorbed fag and a good editor though. If you're going to be an elitist prick, then you can go fuck yourself. Everyone makes mistakes and people need to stop believing that certain "good" groups are above the rest of humanity and can't possibly make a single error in a whole series, let alone multiple episodes. It's about minimizing your errors and getting things to the point of being understandably correct in grammar.

This doesn't excuse retards that don't know the difference between the homophones, though. Ignorance is not a mistake.

Sure, you could add chilies or even soy sauce to it, but there is always the same process to go through to make them come out right. You don't include egg shells EVER. You think people enjoy egg shells in their scrambled eggs? I fucking hate and would sue a resturant, even if they were giving shit out for free in a soup kitchen. I would fucking HATE that someone doesn't fucking care enough to have enough care to keep those pieces of mother fucking egg shell in my fucking free chili and soy sauce scrambled eggs.

Dragging this thread back on topic, I've been to the imouto cafe in Akiba before (Pash Cafe Nagomi). It's kinda small, the atmosphere was ok, but the staff weren't so used to gaijin so either speak good Japanese or bring a friend who can. Food was so-so, although "imouto's surprise" drink was tasty. I think if you order two on a weekend you get a chance for janken to win something (like a photo with the waitresses).

Cafe with cat is a pretty good cafe. As in doujin work anime, fill up your member's card and get special privileges. Here's a nice blurry shot from miko event around new years this year. Neko-mimi mikos, how's that? :D

Their job is to stop other people from being retarded. If you can't do it right, then you are a stupid fag. There is no "Oh well these kiddies are just a-lern'n how to do their junk. Let's give them a break."
NO. If someone is wrong, they need to have their ass ragged on about it. This isn't happy fun time. As a community based on love and respect for the works there is a certain standard that has to be set. We aren't Japanglish.com trying to make out everyone to be able to understand Japanese.
Surprisingly enough, not everyone seeks to be a Samurai Spirit holding embodiment of Japanese culture. They want to see a story. In this context, there is nothing wrong with dubs. (Just the actors are horrible. See Chaos Wars for how hard it is to get a job as a voice actor) But I digress again.

If the editor makes an elementary mistake, then he's a retarded faggot. If nobody else in the entire group can see it then they are retarded for relying on an editor that makes elementary mistakes.
If you are too retarded to notice why something isn't a mistake then you lack the capacity to read past an 8th grade level.

You can't spell retard without elementary function deficits.

Whatever, I'll just summarize the events so far.
Guy meets girl, blahblahblah, they get to know eachother, she comes over to his place and doesn't care he's an otaku, treats him like her real master, etc.
Eventually they end up at a love hotel, she says she's not a virgin, and he flips out and they end up not doing anything.
Later on, she says he didn't really like her, just her the maid, and he didn't know anything about the real her, so she was going to disappear and never see him again.
She changes her cell number, the cafe gets closed down, and she starts dating the asshole ex-owner of it(RAGE).
Latest chapter is the otaku saying goodbye to her for the last time since she was only going to meet with him once more.
It pisses me off because I really want to like her, but she just won't give him a chance. There was this other girl that worked there that was like him and they had good chemistry, but she's tsundere so it'd never work out.

>It pisses me off because I really want to like her, but she just won't give him a chance.
It sounds to me from that summary that he's a goddamn asshole and doesn't deserve anything to do with her. They go to a love hotel and he freaks out? Smooth move, Romeo.

He can't help that he knows nothing about her when she never talked about herself. All she did was act like a maid, and then get pissed when he didn't know her real self. Also, he's a virgin.

Chaos Wars isn't really a fair case for dubs though. The company localizing the game doesn't have a lot of money, so the CEO used his family to do the English dubs.

I never read the manga. But when I read "she treats him like a master, she acts like his fucking maid, she doesn't mind he's an otaku" it sounds like she's treating him pretty fucking amazing and then she takes him to a love hotel, she takes him to a love hotel. And what does he do? He freaks out because he finds out she isn't a virgin. Talk about being self centered. She's ridiculously exceedingly kind to him, puts herself in a vulnerable position and then he blows up in her face. That's called being a terrible asshole. Where is she not giving him a chance? She put herself on a platter for him.

I love this guy's (girl's?) cover illustrations (Shounen Shikou, etc).

By the way, some guy is translating Cherry Girls:

Because he was the one being fake? It was an act. Once she stopped being a maid, she threw him away. If you haven't read it, I don't see why you're talking as if you know everything.

They're fansubbers. I don't expect them to put out professional level translations.

Finding errors and typos on official translations is what I rage at.

What about fansubbers that refuse to put out anything unless it's professional-level?

Because that's just fucking stupid.
