Despite having little to no time to play FGs, I still enjoy them for the feeling of going from "How am I ever supposed to perform this, these people are not human" to "Oh okay I can do it 10 times out of 10 now and it only took me like an hour".
My main gripe is the online, really.

The number of questions on anime quizzes I answer for free just because they don't bother removing the Japanese text is small but not zero.

The #1 priority is that the text still has to sound natural. If you have to bend over backwards to keep every nuance of the original text, you probably have to make some sacrifices so the reader doesn't get lost in the sauce. The translation will never be 100% accurate, and that's okay.

This is why I don't vibe with the Undead Unluck fanbase even though I like the show, they're treating themselves like the most wholesome shounen chungi and then just discuss the manga's lategame out in the open.

I'm kinda glad this is turning out to be less about the games and more about the the character dynamics, since that feels like the best way to reject the premise they're put into.

I've been in the 4chan trenches, I simply don't have enough hate left in me nowadays. Even when my neighbours are too noisy, the best I can do is "Hope they realize the error of their ways one day".

If we consider the end goal to be making the tl as accurate and faithful as possible, recognizing the references doesn't really do much when the audience cannot recognize them anyways.
But of course, consuming the relevant media is still a major part of your job, so this point is kinda moot.

The way it makes you painfully aware of the passage of time really shows that the director Gets It. Hits me right where it hurts me on a personal level.
Also makes the episode's end all the more abrupt, I swear it feels like it's only 15 minutes long.
