I do agree, though, that the examples you gave present a good argument. All they really do anymore is keep honorifics, which I'm just used to from anime and manga. Yes, that's a complacancy you probably don't agree with, but you'll have to deal with it.

But what I can't stand is changing a proper noun - a name of anything is its name no matter where you are. If a sub group changes a mecha's name or god forbid a person's name in their subs ("Brotou"...), they are doing something very wrong. And that's one of the main reasons I don't like some of the other random subs I've looked at in the past year or so I've been actively watching Sentai and Kamen Rider.

T-N does a lot more than simply keep honorifics. Tachi is not an honorific. "mou" is also something that has 90000 ways it can be translated. I agree about brotou. I thought that was pretty damn stupid. I also agree about a persons name, but I am fine with translating mecha names, group names, and words like kamen and sentai.,
