Hey, you think that's bad, imagine how vexed Asakura must've felt back in Ryuki! Or, heck, Kitaoka probably would've wanted every shot in the opening replaced with ones of him... as long as they're from his best angle, anyway.

Anyway, this is another great episode I also don't find myself having much to say about, but there were quite a few errors I caught skimming through it, so:

- This is something your brain probably made right because it's so glaring, but "Even when [Sawada] changed into an Orphenoch, he didn't act any different towards his Ryuusei School friends" is more like "Even though Sawada's become an Orphenoch, it doesn't change that he's one of our Ryuusei School friends" or whatever. I mean, I could take the time to come up with something less clunky than "Ryuusei School friends", too, but you get the idea. Sawada acted VERY differently towards his friends! This is a really big, obvious mistake caused by what I'm noticing is a trend with TV-Nihon even to this day sometimes, which is not paying enough attention to grammar. I think they heard "became an Orphenoch", "Ryuusei School", and "no change" and were just like "I GOT THIS!"without thinking about it very hard.

- Takumi's response to Mari saying Saya would've wanted to help Sawada right after this also really shouldn't be "I knew that already." It's literally more of a blunt "Why should I care?", which is equally standoffish, but what's important here is that Takumi genuinely hadn't been considering that idea.

- And speaking of small lines from Takumi, when Yuka starts raising her hand to at that meeting to vote in favor of Orphenochs being able to have human hearts, the thing he whispers to her is along the lines of "I mean, of course you think that, but...", which is basically the complete opposite of the surprised "Even you think so?" TV-N has it as. I don't think theirs really gets across how much of a stubborn jerk Takkun is actually being right now. He doesn't process grief very well!

You know, I bet Delta wouldn't have any trouble with bad translations though. I heard that guy is so smart, he speaks, like, eleventy-billion languages! Yeah!
