The Type-Moon Miscellaneous Thoughts Thread

Eternal Arms Mastery, I think

[Lily Emilio]

Infinite Military Training is top canon shut up.

Enuma Elish is anti-universe. DVD box said so which means it's canon!

[Kotonoha]

Why wouldn't it? You would think that a official translation would be better than a fan translation.

You would think that if you were naive and did not yet understand that life is suffering

[Tobias]

They officially translated it as Altria. My grief is exceeded only by my contempt

Blame TM for that, apparently that makes sense to them. which it does not.

[Tobias]

It actually does if you understand that whoever type moon uses for translation is a native Japanese speaker who fundemanetally fails to understand the L sound, and has for at least 10 years now. They did the same thing with Attila as well, except in reverse

[Altaris]

I like Altria

[castor212]

Smtg smtg official translator needs to be TM nerd enough

[Magikewl]

TRANSFORMING FLAME EMITTING MEDITATION is one of my faves

Is it a failure to understand the L sound or is it just that the L sound is irrelevant to their target audience?

[Iceblade44]

Who is the King of Jobbers?

[GundamFSN]

A-1.

Localizing it to English? The former. You could get away with it before NA stuff. Afterwards it’s a fuck up.

What was that skill supposed to be again?

They already fixed this one to Eternal Arms Mastery.

What's the problem with this one?

[hayate]

What's the problem with this one?

I think it's the translation that is the problem...

Some Kanji words can get lost in translation after all, especially if the Kanji words don't have the furigana attached to it.

[Gray]

Who is the King of Jobbers?

Heracles?

[castor212]

What's the problem with this one?

the same case of being wayyyy too literal

[Canon]

TRANSFORMING FLAME EMITTING MEDITATION is one of my faves

"Just, Kill" ranks pretty high up for me personally

[pinetree]

the same case of being wayyyy too literal

Is Samadhi Through Transforming Flames any better then?

Seems like the official one tells me her meditation causes the transformation and the flames, while the fans translation says the flames of transformation lead her to that stage of meditation.

[castor212]

Kashou zanmai is when Acala do zanmai aka samadhi and flame sprout out (thanks kotobank) so i personally think it should be 1 noun

So id use Flame Samadhi of Transformation

Better moonruners cmiiw tho
