DiEnd Driver with Narutaki & DiEnd

Post by takenoko »

So this actually has English subtitles on its Youtube video. But they're terrible. The font is small, and the translator is obviously some random guy that they grabbed to do the English. He has no idea why one guy goes on about treasure and why the other yells "onore" constantly, so he just leaves it out. This is pretty much what you get out of most commercial translations.

You can compare for yourself here:

As for the video itself, it's pretty fun to watch Totani Kimoto and Narutaki goof around. Considering Totani just had a birthday a few days ago on the 7th, this seemed like a fitting tribute to him.

I've always found it funny. TV-Nihon and a few of the other fansub groups do the subbing for free... and their work, especially that of TV-Nihon, looks very professional. The "commercial" subbing often looks like a half-hearted slop.

Small font, white text... on a white background!

If you strain your eyes, you can read it and it is definitely a good video...

I'm sorry. Those subtitles are BS. I've could of done a better job, with 30 extra minutes. These companies... Even if they used interns have no excuses.

Yeah, any English speakers that enjoyed Decade but that don't pick up on Japanese audio too well would miss a lot of what makes this video great. Despite that, this was a lot of fun to watch! Decade had its flaws, but I did love the characters and Narutaki is hilariously awesome!

**Edit: Oh, LOL. I just noticed that you subtitled it, too. I didn't catch that from the front page post. Thanks!

Why are they releasing a new Diend toy in 2015, anyhow?

This one actually has a card scanner in it though, so it's not a pile of shit like the DX one.

I have already spent my fanboy money. Preordered Driver, Belt and binder for a pretty reasonable price. It's my favorite henshin device that isn't a Zecter and I just had to have it.

Looks like they released it in Chinese now. I can't really read Chinese, but it looks like Totani-kun was written as Totani-sensei in the Chinese subs?
