I'd heard an interesting story while trying to get into Magical Girl Raising Project. Apparently, when the series was still in the public eye back around 2016-17 or so, it was discovered the guy who was doing translations at the time (PlatFleece I believe his name was) was actually incompetent at Japanese and making shit up as he went along (deleting or adding entire paragraphs for example), and everyone had fallen for it for like a year or so since nobody had bothered to get raws themselves and those that did and called Plat out were damage-controlled by a cocksucker cadre cultivated on Dicksword. The inability to verify until an entire retranslation of all the books up to that point was done played a large factor in the series falling into obscurity among Western circles, or so the story goes.

It was interesting to me because far as I knew at the time, bullshit TL stuff was done either by failed writers in official companies or agenda-driven cucks on Reddit and other such malcontent sites -- it kind of slipped my mind that autists could fuck up efforts for entirely separate reasons, like their own pride. That made me curious: What other examples of translation fuckery have you noticed in fan TL?

One thing I've noticed in the past few years is that when the characters are high schoolers the translators just stop translating and use the excuse of 'slang' to write whatever. Nagatoro and Bisque Doll being examples of that. Just watched Kirio Fan Club and

When I watch old/finished shows I like to watch two episodes each few days. It feels like a good middle ground between having enough time to think about the episodes while not feeling I watched too little to be satisfied each time. It takes a bit more for me to watch longer shows but I found it fullfilling.
When an anime has an odd number of episodes I also like to watch all last three chapters in the same watching session as as a sort of "big finale".

Watching the final three episodes in one go is much better than getting caught in the middle of the finale and having to wait a week.

Hey kid, ever wanted a cute doll in a frilly dress on your desk? Are you a weirdo who likes doll joints in fishnet stocking? Then this might be your hobby.
While the doll hobby is expensive starting out, the yen vs the dollar is better than ever. So if you're not worried about your budget for the next few years, then this is the best time to import from Japan. When buying dolls you're mainly buying things in segments. Hair, eyes, face/head, clothes, and replacement pieces for limbs/hands/feet/etc. That's why it's an expensive hobby initially. Once you have a body frame, everything else is just spent on the eyes, faces, hair, and clothing. Of course, you don't need to go crazy. No need to fill a whole shelf with them like figurines.

Yahoo Auction is usually the way many doll parts are sold. Buyee and WhiteRabbitExpress are some good proxy/forwarding services to import them. They can bid for you up to a money limit you demand.

It was just a passing question. I have no idea where to look outside OP's links (which have some stuff on doll customization), and I can't say I plan on collecting  these even if they are neat.

That sounds really cool. I may check into these at some point. Thanks.

I'd personally be more interested in something like that than most dolls, but that's probably because I'm biased towards model kits over figurines in general.

An important part of this is that if you orient your attention towards something, you are more likely to notice it or opportunities for it in the real world. And because the way you pay attention to something can affect how you act around it, the way you attend to a thing or a person can create a kind of self-fulfilling prophecy. For example, a psychologist who rigidly thinks of the human mind as a machine will naturally notice the more mechanistic aspects of human behaviour, and following his advice will work with those tendencies and likely amplify them.
As to whether your thoughts themselves can subtly influence the outside world, well, that's another matter. In my own tradition, a good number of Eastern Orthodox monastics and saints insist the answer is yes. And from what I understand, their contention is not that manifesting per se doesn't do anything, but that a lot of it risks turning people into greedy manipulators. You get a bunch of people who think the path to happiness is forcing the outside world to conform to their own desires at all costs. This seems to work at first, but breaks down after a while. Sometimes their desires have unexpected side effects. Sometimes their desires don't make them happy when they get them, or outright ruin their lives. And sometimes their desires make life miserable for everyone but themselves.

Not trying to vaguepost your ass and blueball you but this happens for a specific set of reasons and I don't want to turn this thread into /fringe/-/his/-/pol/ since explaining it would require walls of text, furthermore, I fear giving a wonky tl;dr.
But yeah, the kabbalists who engineered modern civilization understand all of this very well, not perfectly, or else they wouldn't have instituted such a grotesquely miserable system which has inescapable karmic consequences (despite their constant caution to "shift" that karmic weight, that blame onto the masses i.e. "you can deduce or even see we are evil but you ain't doing shit about it so it's on YOU lolololol), but very well. Which is exactly why they use this knowledge for malicious speculation.

Japanese onomatopoeia will never translate well into other languages. The only reason it works with Japanese is because of heavy word overlap meaning that inflection is important to the overall meaning which translates to verbal ticks and use of onomatopoeia to describe emotion. Chinese sort of does this but it's all been simplified so much it sounds like shit. English, Spanish, and French have been so bastardized by Arabic/Germanic word roots that they can't even handle formal speech fully (the formal forms in French/Spanish don't count and are half-dead anyways), let alone moe. The closest European languages to having suitable tonal inflection and onomatopoeia usage for anime girl noises are the Slav ones (specifically Russian and to a slightly lesser extent Polish).

If you haven't played it or heard it before, you might look up the soundtrack for Tsugunai: Atonement, officially released as "an cinniùint". Bit of an iffy game (I actually rather like it myself), but I don't think the OST is something anyone out there has had complaints with.
