Enclave 05/16/24 12:45:10 AM #19:	I don't see a problem with that localisation. It's not fundamentally changing the meaning and intent going on in that scene, it actually sounds more natural in English than what is written, gets the point across better. Also and this is very important, it's not injecting any modern slang or pop culture references that will make it start showing its age in a few years. So yeah, don't see a problem. There's absolutely localisations that are bullshit and shouldn't be made, this scene? Not one of them. --- The commercial says that Church isn't for perfect people, I guess that's why I'm an atheist. <cite>Enclave posted [p:980415456] in The Funima...

berlyman101 05/16/24 12:53:21 AM #23:	not even a good example. the dub rules There was one point where I flipped back and forth between the sub and the dub on Crunchyroll at the end of the arc ~~when the stadium was crumbling~~ and Juri was crying because she was going to die a virgin in the sub and they changed it to her not being married in the dub. Both versions were very funny but overall Koto had a better character in the dub.
