When Translators Go Angry
Fri, 2009-11-20 14:35
So I was watching the anime Umineko no Naku Koro ni last night since a new episode was out. This show is Japanese and is fan-subbed (when a fan of the show adds English subtitles so that others can watch it). The halfway point showed what looks to be a message from the translator. The funny thing though, was that it's an attack on an Aion legion (Seraphim of Siel)! I just thought I would share since it certainly caught me off guard. Even though I don't appreciate this being included in my anime, it still gave me a good laugh. I already posted this in Seraphim's forums last night to notify them. Enjoy!

@Manicai: To clarify, it was fansubbed, meaning not an official sub.
Also, most of the translator's notes can be seen because you are (i'm guessing) using VLC. Use Media Player Classic, VLC shows TL notes because it's not smart enough to understand what tags are.

Yea, when the big push to HD happened, I was still using VLC, and people were encoding for WMPC, so I could see all these ridiculous translator notes too xD

I'm not sure I understand what is going on here. The translator of this anime decided he was pissed at a dude in Aion and posted a message berating them...in an anime!?
Bizzarre.
