All the cool effects, honorifics, translator notes that explain references that you might miss as non-japanese viewer… Whoever put this much effort for free more than 10 years ago, thank you! It was so refreshing seeing this in the era of corporate sloppy subtitles!
Fun to see this while messing with subtitle translation!
I picked the three seasons of Nights with a Cat to watch. Thought “my mum would love this”, so I’m translating subtitles into Portuguese. (She loved the first two seasons, by the way.) And wow, it made me see the effort the group (pspspsps) poured into it — replicating the cat and Moon logo, animating everything, a thousand gradients, so goes on. I had to sacrifice a wee bit of the aesthetics (not much though) for the sake of making the translation viable, plus because I was merging the files, but it was clear the group did that as a work of love, I’ve seen plenty professional translators (incl. myself) doing a sloppier job.
