| This is cute. Kind of hurts my brain though having to read multiple lines of subtitles at once and I am legitimately trying to carefully listen to this "accent" (it's really more a dialect isn't it?). At least I'm learning some things about Okinawa, though of course I am sure it is exaggerated lol Both girls are cute. AkeZZZ said: This D&M Okinawa Juice can was probably modeled after an A&W rootbeer can. Fun fact: Okinawa is the only prefecture in Japan that still has A&W Restaurant. I'm surprised they have one at all. Had to look into it, it's there because American military bases. Japanese people still often cant stand rootbeer because it reminds them of medicine. Funny how association works. |

| this feels like one hell of an anime to translate/localize... the fansub I watched opted for keep all the dialect words/expressions untranslated... it works, since the main character don't understand what she say anyways, but I think official translation or dub wouldn't allow themselves to do this, lol anyway, the episode was fun, the characters are enjoyable... kudos for the Eva reference... will follow |
| What I do know is that Teru has fallen in love with Hina and Kana who clearly loves Teru, it's clear and certain that this will be a love triangle. Well, a good start, the story that is definitely set in the island of Okinawa with their distinctive language accent makes this interesting. Hina and Kana are typical girls with different personalities, but seeing Hina and Kana like that I'm curious about what will happen to the three of them in the future.  |

@Ryssen how diverse/creative are the gags in the source? I loved the segments but I feel like the language barrier topic could get exhausting if one doesn't engage in learning the language
| @Gween_Gween there won't be a big divergence from episode 1 if that's what you're asking. All the jokes are based on cultural or language differences. |
| Could have been good but turned out to be brainrot. FMC was annoying and the female side character was 10 times better. |

| Man, that was non-stop. I don't know if I'd call it good per se, but I certainly enjoyed every minute of it. Some of my favourite thoughts while I was watching were - The opening shows iconic okinawa things but also moai heads? Not sure if this will be explained or if they just thought the audience would not question it - Everyone is a pleasant shade of golden brown, except it often kind of looks like a sickly green. - The character art style looks like a hentai - The unintelligible okinawa dialect cold opening brings me joy, that japanese people should have to experience watching anime as I do - Did not expect the zombieland saga reference - BULLFIGHTING?! - breakneck pace here - An evangelion reference too? I wonder how many other references I am missing |
AkeZZZ said: Haha! Out of curiosity I looked up the full name of the Okinawan girl from Princess Connect: Kyan Kaori. https://myanimelist.net/character/205574/KaoriThe Kanata’s beach from Harukana Receive and the beach from the first episode where they met the bull was the same actual one, Gushikawa Beach. And looking at Kanata’s surname, it’s also Higa! Also:   The top two subtitles are the wrong way around, aren't they? Is this Crunchyroll's work? As I understand it, the bottom subtitle is something Japanese readers can read and understand, while the pink subtitle above it is one they can read, but maybe not understand, because it's Okinawan written in hiragana? (These two are part of the original video track.) |

Not sure if this will be explained or if they just thought the audience would not question it Moai (模合) is a traditional social support groups in Okinawa. And, it's rhythm with that famous Moai 🗿. So... It is a wordplay. And, bullfighting is also a thing in Okinawa, it's called Ushiorase. Takata said: The top two subtitles are the wrong way around, aren't they? Is this Crunchyroll's work?

(These two are part of the original video track.) yeah... The smaller white subtitles are the standard Japanese. While the pink ones are the Okinawan ones where you can read but may not understand their meanings. |

I was looking forward to this, but those CR sometimes-subs are tragic... would love for it to get a better treatment
| @MiaAyende I'm curious why you call it tragic. I've definitely seen worse from CR but whatever team is doing it, I think their format is pretty spot on. + Honorifics + Uchinaaguchi left untranslated but readable as to reflect the confusion. + Lack of Localization ~ Naming convention is TBD as I don't recall any full name being spoken, I prefer it as spoken; Family(Last) > Given(First). When CR does bad enough, I tend to look for alternative but this release didn't reach that level in the slightest |

| @Hibiki_Ganaha When I have to pull out my phone to translate some untranslated text multiple times in the same ep, it makes me grumpy... and this wasn't the first show this season that's happened. Thus, "sometimes subs"...because sometimes, they're actually there. |

| @MiaAyende Hmm we might be watching different sources. I just assumed SubsPlease has been ripping from CR. My bad The one I watched had romanji for the uchinaaguchi whenever Teru doesn't understand |
| This was very entertaining, his interactions with Hina are pretty funny. The excessive hospitality from everyone there is also pretty funny to watch, he got swamped with food from everyone and also the people because of their names. |

I can confirm, SubsPlease uses the same translation as Crunchyroll, except for a bit around 5:00 which Crunchyroll had subtitles for, but SubsPlease did not. |
