Kinda wish there were not crap subs for it available. I don't like to bash on TV-Nihon for fun but their Ryuki subs have genuine errors that go way beyond "I don't like stupid fonts".

One major one that always sticks out to me is in episode 38 where them not knowing what "kireigoto" means resulted in Shinji's line after he tells Alternative he won't allow any sacrifices being completely screwed up. He's supposed to be acknowledging that stance may be naive of him, but instead he makes some weird statement about it "not being pretty", which just sounds like a meta comment on TV-N's clunky wording.

That's a pretty important character moment for Shinji, and doubt is a huge part of his arc, so, even if the more important first part is still right, and the viewer still gets the gist of the speech, messing it up like that really does the show a disservice. But now I'm talking like I know anything about translation so I should probably stop...

Shit, I responded to the wrong post. Blade's my favorite series but Ryuki's pretty good too.
