[...] Somewhat true. I (and persumably most people) generally don’t care unless the group fucks up on editing. [...]

@natsuneko: BSS released 12 and 13 a couple days ago.

I was the translator for HnK for the last half dozen of episodes of Origination, and I already had translated the last three episodes before they decided to drop ARIA. Actually, I had been getting some friends together to sub those last few episodes to at least finish the job - however, I was pretty busy with school nowadays so I didn’t have time, and since I heard that Aquamarine had completed it anyway, I stopped caring…

But I wasn’t aware of the pretty horrible screw-ups there… Popoi-nyoo! Heck, that’s a lesson to learn! Next time, we’ll sub the rush of the water, the splashing of the waves, the clapping of the hands, the chirping of the birds, and last but not least, the delighful breaths and sighs of all the characters.
Also important TL notes. Because everyone starts watching ARIA from 3rd season ep 12, it’s important to remind people to watch at least episode 11 to get all the references. Wait, what is a Gondola?

Seriously, if I didn’t know BSS picked up ep 11 (don’t know if they are continuing but I assume they are), I would consider getting back to my script, have it transchecked, timed, typeset, and then released. Bah.

Aquamarine’s first project is those two eps of Aria. So it’s natural if they make a mistake, well maybe they can release 2nd version with a better translation.

I can understand their feeling coz i’m from indonesia too. Not many indonesian people is good with english.

“All your base are belong to us.” or something.

As a grammar teacher it is rather painful to see something like that, but I can also appreciate the complexities of the English sentence structure and how, much of the time, it makes no sense why a particular pronoun works somewhere and why it doesn’t. ^_^

@xxxx & sikatgigi: I did say they make sense and I did watch them, but the mistakes are very distracting. Native English-speaking or not, even the most basic amd quickest proofreading would have fixed a good chunk of the mistakes.
