"Cursing them so?" "Dedicate the effort?" Are you refering to us or someplace else where you've seen TV Nihon picked on, because one statement is hardly "cursing" them or some grand, dedicated effort. Last I checked.

It just comes down to "what is easiest to understand" and half-translated sentences with honourifics, the meaning of which are completely lost on me as a non-Japanese speaker, does not make it easy to understand while I'm watching the action.

Names shouldn't be translated I agree, because, well, they're names. Just like how Japanese character will have English words in their names. You don't translate that, afterall. That would honestly cause the same problem as before, since names are easier to identify and accociate than regular words. Translating them could very well make it harder to understand what they're saying.
