Lord of Fire:
--- Quote from: logos on February 24, 2010, 05:52:55 PM ---hmmm, I just finished watching the entire series GG's version, and I never noticed any untranslated text that seemed important. Are you talking about the (black) screens? Because I dont think any info is conveyed on those. Overall a fantastic show.

gg Didn't sub much of the on-screen text till episode 3 or so. it wasn't till qIIq did it that gg did it too.
dirkformica:
Ended up getting 11 of 12 from qIIq so I don't know when gg started translating more on-screen text. You definitely lose out if you don't get that information. The beginnings of the episodes have a rapid fire stream of text that provides character and plot background some of which isn't actually shown directly in the series. There is also a great deal of background/environmental text that provides subtle commentary on events and characters (such as Hitagi's confession about her past happening specifically in a "middle school second grade" classroom; see also the frequent "Danger" and "Entry Forbidden" signs.)
Much like Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei you can get by without all the extra text translations but you're really missing out. Series that actually have even a modicum of depth and artistry (which is too rare in anime) should be fully appreciated. Sometimes it's not just about the plot and purty ppl (contrary to 95% of mainstream entertainment.)
Havoc10K:
l'm kinda surprised how many offers a moth come into BBT and are rejected, don't ppl know this show wasn't finished yet ? the TV end episode was only towards the main arc, where it had a really nice ending everyone enjoyed (l hope, l know l did enjoy it) but the series is bound to have 15 eps in total, l guess ppl dodn't read much and make those silly attempts.
SeventyX7:
I don't particularly blame them, though. Streaming the last three online was just a terrible idea. It seems especially silly since Bake became like SHAFT's biggest success recently, so the choice to put the last three episodes in terrible streaming quality...
Havoc10K:
not that bad, considering how ep 7 was, nothing will look as bad as that.
shaft seems to have something about ep 7 in everything lately, DitVB ep 7 was also arse.
