Re: Kamen Rider Build 2017-18
If I may stick my nose into this can of worms (which is an expression I sincerely hope never to use again), I may note that a big challenge for translating in general is balancing accuracy with looking/sounding good--for instance, the Build Driver technically says "Yaaay" sometimes, but our group always translates it as "Yeeeah" because "Yay" in that context reads as a bit... strange? Silly? Not sure how to put it, but it generally doesn't work for me. Ultimately (from my perspective as a mere QCer), a lot of the translations here are more stylized because some romanizations and more literal translations can sometimes ironically make less sense in English.

Re: Kamen Rider Build 2017-18
I made the suggestion in episode 1 to use "yay" too. Not sure why we went with "yeah".

It was in the magazines as Yeahhh
Re: Kamen Rider Build 2017-18
So for back in Ex-aid when you had rider names Paradox and Chrnous, even though its officially Para-DX and Cronus; even the second part for the upcoming Ex-Aid trilogy: Another Ending has the English parts for Parado's rider name as "Kamen Rider Para-DX with Kamen Rider Poppy". Or did you think they would of never posted it or have him get his own logo title that would show his rider name in English like with Genm, Brave, Snipe, or Lazer?Lunagel wrote: ↑Thu Nov 30, 2017 3:29 amstardrago wrote: ↑Wed Nov 29, 2017 8:43 pm

Okay man, I know this is your pet peeve, but you gotta realize, this decision isn't about you. I'm not saying "oh man I hate stardrago so let's specifically choose this spelling to piss him off". You're not wrong, the spelling is definitely Stalk on the card and on the figure, no denying that. I'm saying that there are reasons *besides* the English spelling to take into consideration.
Don't take it personally cause I'm not changing it unless someone specifically says "this is what his name means" either in show or in an interview.

We posted our reasons for using those spellings when we were doing the series, now you're just complaining simply to complain.

Ehhh. I would have disagreed with the Japanese on that one.
