This and the anime-thing Split Lip mentioned, because they never translate stuff like "Nee-chan" because they think anime-viewers would understand it and are into it. Every other subbing group uses the correct translation like little sister/big sister usw.

I'm not even mad about this too be honest since I know what it means in this case, but it's still unfair for newer viewers. Not everyone is familiar with the Japanese honorifics.

It's the things that are never explained and never subtitled but put directly into the subs what angers me the most.

They do, but: It is explained what it means the first time Momotaros uses it, and whenever he updates it (like "I finally arrived") they translate that too.

I see why people don't like that, but I'm okay with that since I know what it means. It's stuff that they don't translate and don't explain that angers me.
