Cursed ghost of Dullahan can't hear me over here saying that I'm ok with the Shiki cursing localization

Fortunately, your summons hasn't called him.

[Arashi_Leonhart]

I've never had the pleasure of reading the coke translation.

How bad we talkin' here?

Shiki has the mouth of a sailor, coke didn't know what was going on in Paradox Spiral, and sometimes cut out stuff entirely to...flow better I guess?

It's a choice, sure, but while it solves why Kokutou wants her to tone down her language it doesn't actually get the yin-yang girl-boy dichotomy at all.

Since, you know, girls cuss.

Also this, although parts of this may be a bit spoilery.

My problem is that since this has a lot of baggage with Japanese language and gender roles, I'm not convinced that you'd ever have something satisfactory for a 2018 anime audience. It seems, to a layman, that it's an inevitable sacrifice to get enough of the thrust.

[Arashi_Leonhart]

The obvious solution is to have her talk like a chuuni and Kokutou tells her to grow up, take that.

[SeiKeo]

That's not cute.

Hi, I'm pressing the both button but it's not working.

I enjoyed movies first then got a little more from the Coke version. And even to this day I am learning more, but I don't mind that. Even if it ever gets a proper English release we'd still probably be missing something.

Also this, although parts of this may be a bit spoilery.

Yay more to read~

[Arashi_Leonhart]

No accounting for taste

[Skull]

No lie, I would totally double dip for an official ENG translation of the LNs. <3

[Strange_One]

Wait and hope.

I wonder what the Polish release is like.

[Toa of Gallifrey]

The Faust translation by Paul Johnson of the first chapter is really good. I think you'll miss little from watching the movies if you're observant. The first chapter covers some details that are expanded on in later chapters (particularly 2 and 4) but glossed over in the film version. I don't think this is a problem, since your avatar indicates you're at least somewhat familiar with Tsukihime and everything will be made clear by 4, but if you don't wanna be in the dark till then I guess my recommendation is to read the only chapter translated by Paul Johnson if you can get your hands on it and then watch all seven+ movies. IIRC I didn't fully get Paradox Spiral on the initial viewing and coke just made me more confused, but a rewatch made me understand it better.

He can't post (or can he, his temp should probably be out by now?) but prior cases suggest he can and does hear when he's summoned just fine.

And on topic, read all, watch all, form your own damn opinion.

[...] it doesn't actually get the yin-yang girl-boy dichotomy at all.

How can you even convey that with English, though? And without relying on footnotes or similar?

[CielWorstGirl]

I watched the first movie and bought the raw first volume of the LN on amazon.

[Deathhappens]

And it only took you a year to make up your mind, congrats!(?)

[Inuhanyou]

Alternate hot take, the manga is the most superior adaption of the events of said series

I cant read japanese man!

[Dullahan]

then it's curious you should say such a thing about the manga, since the scanlations stopped somewhere in tsuukaku zanryuu IIRC
