lol

You know you're only allowed to trollsub on April Fools', right?

Can you please just sub the whole thing in romaji? Tired of this localized garbage.

I think I figured out the seeding. You should be able to download soon. My first time uploading, bound to be messy. In the meantime, just use DDL.
Also, would be nice if you lot respected the rule 1 of the site. Feel free to download dubbed, I hear it releases in a week or so :)

When a character is being addressed directly (ie, “Captain Zaraki!”), the title will be in romaji instead (“Zaraki Taichou!”)

lmao

AHAHAHAHA!

respect rule 1

wait wait wait, you’re telling everybody else not to shitpost? on this post?

@czar
not sure what's there to lmao about, when Kakashi-Sensei and such has been a thing for over 20 years. Same thing.

idk why you lot are having such a meltdown. You haven't even downloaded or watched it. Please don't sperg out here because you're terminally online and have nothing to do with your life.
if you have some actual points to make, do it. No need to express your mental illnesses here.
Seeding is on.

thanks daddy

So let me get this clear... you use poop reencoded video but no OPUS which is the best lossy audio codec? Hard pass.

@interruptor sadly my internet is quite bad at the moment, so this will have to do. Ember quality is great for its small file size.
You are free to download and extract the subtitles and apply them to whatever video you wish.

Based

@Nokiya Jio strikes again...

idk what you're talking about or who you are, mate. Kindly go back to your dial8ing discord group.

thanks!!

Actual pile of shit release. What's new with these honorifics loving retards are their dogshit releases. Consider deleting this pile of shit and leave it to Lazy to release something decent instead. Waste of oxygen.

Fansubs on episode 3✔
Doesn’t start episode 1✔
Someone is already doing a better job✔
Shit fonts✔
Romanji for ironic weebs✔
Shit fonts again iunno what the fuck you were thinking✔

Even if this was for personal use, this is absolutely useless. But you do you man.

Report any errors. They will be fixed for a Blu Ray batch.

This is retarded, if that counts.

They will be fixed for a Blu Ray batch

(They won't)

@darkmodejesus Looks like you have a crappy video player, because even default aegisub italics is messing up on your end
also would you look at that, it's indeed a discord raid :)

@SolitaryFlower; your commiesub friends also do honorifics in offtrack, so idk why you're having a mental breakdown. Just use default netflix/disney etc subs? Why are you even here if you hate fansub tradition?

@Oosik ; I did start on ep 1, but it's of little relevance to upload that now. I did say I would add them. Expect them by episode 4 all together :)
by "better job" I hope you don't mean those troll subs that literally make stuff up that characters never actually said? Sounds to me like you watch dubs so you think it's normal?
I will concede that their typesetting is vastly superior. But it's 1v5~, so...
I think fonts are pretty cool. You are free to use default style on your media player. You do know how to do it, right?
Originally I was planning to add effects to ability font, but that's taking a little longer to work out.
Sensei, Onee-san, Getsuga Tenshou, Reiatsu etc are not "ironic weeb", but adding "taichou" to that suddenly is? mmkay
once again, looks like a problem on your video player.

More accurate translation than anything out there. You, of course, are free to continue to use localized garbage for cattle. They ruin game localizations, which I can't fix sadly. But I can fix the anime.

@abunja; at least try to be slightly constructive like the guy above.

@gnome; oh yes they will. I will be releasing even faster now because I decided on a new format. Will be both faster and easier to distribute.

Also, seeing as there were no complaints about Opening and Ending karaoke, I'll take that as a good job by me. After all, you can't have a fansub without karaoke :^)
It's a bit wonky at times. Will try to look into it and fix those small overlaps here and there.

It's retarded because it doesn't make any sense. What's the point of translating even? Might as well put everything in romaji as the other guy said. Trying to reflect Japanese culture, speech and mannerism? Why won't you construct the sentences in Japanese order as well to preserve that speech or culture or whatnot.

I appreciate release but can you try match the font of the credits closer to the japanese maybe, like with Nokiya Fansubs for logo? I think that would fit artist intent kinda better, like you do with the translation. Right now with this ver I find it little distracting ^^ Also dont be hated, they moron xD

thx

@abunja

"retarded because it doesn't make sense"

is not really an argument, mate. Why doesn't it make sense in your mind? You have to elaborate and be constructive. Why and what can be done to better it?

What’s the point of translating even?

In my humble opinion, there is a difference between translating "art" and translating documents. As anime is "art", I think it's important to preserve the original intentions of the creator(s) and translate in such a way that it does not stray from the original intent too much.
Adding things such as "Who died" when character says something completely different (I forgot part it was, feel free to remind me) is an extra localization on top of already localized Viz subs. An accomplishment in and of itself. A trollsub, in my opinion. What is a "trollsub" if not adding something that wasn't there in the first place? VS my sub, where I try to translate as accurately as possible, being called a "trollsub" by terminally online commiesub tier fans.

Might as well put everything in romaji as the other guy said

Not one of you has answered me. Why is Sensei, Onee-san, Reishi, Getsuga Tenshou etc okay to stay in romaji, but when I add Taichou (bleach's equivalent to Sensei), you start having a meltdown? Is it because no one has done it before? Are you afraid of slight change? Really bizarre behaviour.

Why won’t you construct the sentences in Japanese order as well to preserve that speech or culture or whatnot.

There would be no point in translating Jap>Eng if sentences are incoherent. However, I do try here and there to do just that if it ends up grammatically okay.
Tell me what you think of the Dondochakka segment. I might have messed something up. It's a 1man project after all.
You did watch or at least scroll through the script before being judgmental, right?

@tsukadokobashi Help me out in font selection. If you have specific font in mind feel free to share. I did find better fonts but they are locked behind paywalls.
Font swap is easy and there is plenty of time until the next episode, or a BD batch.

@Nokiya yeah I think every single video player is crappy.

@darkjesus might be an issue with the torrent download if you used that. Try the DDL and tell me how it is.

Alternatively open the track in aegisub. If font is not there, then that's a download issue like I stated.

Btw, explain the italics. No special font there. Why is showing on your player? Those are default italics that came with the original track. I didn't change them.
left is original italics, right is aegisub. Definitely looks like a you problem.

Here are all the fonts/styles included in the .ass. Some unused

Include me in the screencap

Why is showing on your player?

Stop using outdated subtitle providers such as vsfilter or xy-vsfilter. anything that renders html is hella old.

Also, same goes for aegisub version (3.2.2 is outdated). arch1t3cht's github version is the recommended one as of now. You're probably using vsfilter which still supports those kinds of html stuff.

It doesn't make sense because it isn't. There's no point in translating if you'll half-ass it because of "muh culture" since the reason you translate it to other language is to convey the idea as much as possible to the other. And because there's always an exception since there's no such thing as 1:1 translation then there comes creative ways to translate things. You can't literally (let's say a joke in Japanese that involves wordplay) use the English equivalent of those words because most of the time it won't make sense, make a coherent phrase out of it or even understand it without context. In this case, I'll take creative writing anytime of the day rather than some weeb trying to explain the whole Japanese literature for some Japanese joke which only intends to take a good chuckle out of you.

The "title" shenanigans do have an English equivalent words for it. So rather than keeping up to what roles they play because you have to remember which title is which, then why won't you use the English equivalent instead in this case?

Also no, I don't even took a glimpse of your script. It's already enough that I know that you don't like, and I just gave you my 2 cents on what I don't like with your reasoning as well. I don't mind you being a weeb by keeping those honorifics and whatnot in your script even it doesn't make sense in the language you're conveying to, but to try to make it difficult for an average English language viewer or somebody who doesn't have a lick of Japanese by leaving some words untranslated as is and leaving them to understand what's the context behind it is why I call it being retard.

bruh moment. idk if you forgot muxed the font or not.
edit: downloaded from ddl

default aegisub italics

ass italics look like {\i1}this{\i0}
i think your sub renderer is Quite Fucked

Not one of you has answered me. Why is Sensei, Onee-san, Reishi, Getsuga Tenshou etc okay to stay in romaji

they aren't

hmm, if only there were some way to include the translation in the main dialogue line

Also, seeing as there were no complaints about Opening and Ending karaoke,

well, if you insist
OP and ED fonts are both gone

what is \fn
what is \r

what is subbing in the correct colour space

imagine using the video you release with

apologies for the massive screenshots, i hate hidpi

You're 15 years late for playing by these rules mate.
Your heart seems to be in the right place, but there isn't really any appetite for these kinds of releases anymore.
I would suggest hopping in a fansubbing related discord server and get real advice, otherwise you're just gonna embarrass yourself with these releases.

@Shinon71 thank you for being constructive. I'll try it out. Also, what do you mean by "outdated subs"? This is a re-encode of NanDesuKa rip.
Is just working with this new version of aegisub enough to fix this issue?

@yaneura

ass italics look like {\i1}this{\i0}
i think your sub renderer is Quite Fucked

read above, those are default judas/ember/nandesuka subs

what is \fn
what is \r

Thank you for the tip :) I'm still learning all the tricks so every tip is appreciated.

what is subbing in the correct colour space

Unsure what you mean by that.

imagine using the video you release with

judas and ember use the same source, subs are the same. I just worked on judas one because they released faster. Ember version was checked afterwards and it was exactly the same.

I think the fundamental issue what Shinon71 said. I'm apparently using some really old stuff. My PC quite old after all. Any tips regarding this is appreciated.

IMO you're on the wrong website if you think all the "flavor" subs should be replaced with English translation, even abilities. Even official subs started using "Sensei" and alike.
Actually, even dubs sometimes go with "Sensei" from what I heard. So I honestly think you're in a ultra tiny minority with that specific opinion.

@zahuczky
Honestly, I couldn't care less what "rules" the vocal minority of terminally online zoomers that grew up on commiesubs imposes.

I would suggest hopping in a fansubbing related discord server and get real advice, otherwise you’re just gonna embarrass yourself with these releases.

The only fansubber (that I know of) that I have any respect for is Nii-sama and he's not that active. I did find plenty of tutorials but it's easy to miss some stuff.

I don't mind trial and error. The only ones who do mind it are these handful of psychopaths that only find joy in bringing others down, which is quite sad.

@Abunja;
Completely changing what the character is saying to something that an English speaking person might say is what dubs do. That has no place in sub.

In this case, I’ll take creative writing anytime of the day rather than some weeb trying to explain the whole Japanese literature for some Japanese joke which only intends to take a good chuckle out of you.

Sounds like a dub watcher to me. Personally, I would want the subber to explain the joke and cultural reason behind it if needed. I am here to immerse myself in Japanese product and culture, not what some random employee at Viz or some fatso covered in grease and mold in his basement thinks is a good replacement.

The “title” shenanigans ...

Flavor. Why is Viz leaving in Reiatsu, Getsuga and such? Are you complaining about that? There is direct translation for all of that as well.
Why is Licht Regen left in it "German" spelling?
Why are Sado's abilities left in Spanish?

(character limit says 2400~ but my comment is less than 2000. Odd)

I don’t mind you being a weeb by keeping those honorifics

why are you here if you are not a "weeb"?
Also, I would not consider myself a "WEEB" (obsessed). These are all the things old school fansubs used. Have you ever watched anything by dattebayo?

but to try to make it difficult for an average English language viewer or somebody who doesn’t have a lick of Japanese by leaving some words untranslated as is and leaving them to understand what’s the context behind it is why I call it being retard.

Why should I care what an average viewer thinks? This website is niche.
Most popular torrent doesn't even have 100k downloads. Not even a 10th of actual viewerbase is here.
A zoomer that never watched anime is not gonna come here to download. They don't even know what torrenting is. They watch on disney+.
All the stuff is translated in a note the first time it appears (Japanese, German, Spanish) as a simple reminder for the old fans. If I need to translate "Sensei" for you, then you're simply on the wrong website.
What's next? Are you gonna be angry that Ichigo's technique isn't subbed as LUNAR FANG PIERCING THE HEAVEN?

As an ending question. And I truly want you to answer me this.

Why is manga/anime using Spanish/German instead of it being fully in Japanese

I understand what you are trying to do, as I'm doing it right now in French.
Bleach was the first anime I watched 15 years ago, and many of the teams used honorifics, but always translated some terms, like Captain, 3rd siege, etc.... and put some informations along.
I absolutely get why for nowadays standards the current translations are better, but in terms of audio/sub synchronisation, like hearing Kurosaki Ichigo, and reading Ichigo Kurosaki, it's off-putting. For ME at least.
So what I'm providing is something "like the old days", but not as hardcore as you are doing it.
If you're happy doing it, continue, and if some are happy with it, then good for them too.
Also a remark, you should translate the pink transition screens ;)

Unsure what you mean by that.

The YCbCr matrix is supposed to be TV.709 (Since your video is in that colourspace). Older versions of Aegisub default to TV.601.

Also, what do you mean by “outdated subs”? This is a re-encode of NanDesuKa rip.

What Shinon meant was that you're using an (extremely) old version of Aegisub, which I assume is inserting HTML tags for italics.

It looks fine on your end because your Aegisub is using an outdated renderer (likely vsfilter), but modern renderers like libass don't recognize it, so it'll show up as HTML tags in most players. The tags yaneura mentioned ({\i1}this{\i0}) are the ones recognized in modern renderers.

Also, the reason the fonts don't load for anyone else is that you didn't package them with your subs. They work for you because you obviously have them installed. There's so many dumb things going on here, and that's exactly why shinon said you should join an established fansub group's server to ask for advice, because clearly you have very little idea of what you're actually doing (or understand what translation and localisation actually mean and how they actually differ, but that's besides the technical issues in this release (of which there are many)).

Really, if you actually care about your release and want to improve upon the myriad of technical issues with it, swallow your pride, join the GJM server, ask for the fansub role, and ask for advice there and ignore what people have to say about your translation choices.

EDIT:

Why is manga/anime using Spanish/German instead of it being fully in Japanese

For rule of cool effect. German and English especially are very popular languages to completely fuck up throw out in fantasy works because they're seen as cool, foreign languages in Japanese, and due to many historical implications which you're hopefully familiar with. Like how in English-speaking countries in Europe, it's not uncommon to learn both English and French (or German, at least I was able to pick when I was still in high school), and in the US it's not uncommon to learn English and Spanish. For someone who seems to espouse authorial intent, and is actively "trying to get closer to the original text", you should know this.

The line you originally complained about was "Who died and made you boss?" which is a relatively common English way of saying "why should I be taking orders from you?" It's not "changing the author's intent", nor does it even imply anyone actually died in regular usage (at least not any more than "god, kill me" implies someone really wants to get killed by god when something happens they don't like"). This translation choice even seems preferable over the sterile official translation, especially given the character saying it (because surprise surprise, many characters speak in slightly different ways). It's a line they would very likely say if the text were originally written in English.

Trying to go full dictionary definition on fiction is how you do a massive disservice to the original author. You're saying "it doesn't matter how colourful your dialogue is in Japanese, in English, we're going to dumb it down to its most basic components and only look at what the dictionary has to say, not what you were trying to say. And just to drive it home further, we're gonna keep words untranslated so people can never experience the story the way you intended your audience to (y'know, without interruptions and orientalism baked into the experience). Equivalent experience? What's that?". This is a proverbial slap to the face to the author, and you don't seem to realise it.

And as for why people are not addressing everything wrong with your release all in one go, it's because explaining why something is bad or why you're wrong takes way more energy and time than it takes to say something bad or wrong. Take an actual linguistics class with a focus on translation. Trust me, you don't realise how utterly ass-backwards your idea of translation is, and it's not like people are just "making up shit" in their translation or shitting on your idea of translation for no reason.

@lost108
yea that's fine. I just see "Taichou" exactly the same as "Sensei", which is what it is in Bleach world(essentially). And I can't imagine anyone serious translating Sensei. Like I said 10 times here already, even official subs leave it as Sensei now (not for every anime obviously).
My biggest gripe is not with that actually. It's with the cringe localization as if I'm watching some American teenagers and not Japanese. If I wanted that, I would go watch dubs.

I tried the new version of aegisub and fixed the "Data" part. Looks the same on my machine. Hopefully it works now. If anyone cares to try and provide feedback :)
this was a fresh "script", as in I didn't load the subs from original encode.
https://anonfiles.com/0cifF0Eey4/EP3-0_40s-FRESH_ass

@LightArrowsEXE

I will reiterate. I don't care what is a "common" English way of saying stuff it it completely changes what was originally said. That's why I'm doing what I'm doing.
I don't like stuff like this.

This belongs in a dub, not a sub.
Your way of thinking is perfect for a dub script writer. However, this is not a dub.
I, like many others, watch anime to experience Japanese culture. Why would anyone want a shitty american teenager squabble plastered as subs instead?

It's not about addressing what's wrong with my stuff all in one go. It's about posting autistic gifs and acting like a manchild instead of being constructive (or just moving on).
I appreciate your comment even if we fundamentally disagree.
What I don't appreciate is spamming reaction images.

Also, I was mostly looking for feedback regarding the technicality. Why subs won't appear for some and such. I don't care for feedback regarding translation, as it's not needed.
Everything is already officially translated. I just slightly edit some parts to be more neutral.
You edit them to be more like what an English speaking person might say within their own culture.
But there are no English speaking people there. So I see your way as a heresy. Simple as that.

If an Australian does the fansub am I just supposed to be okay with random Australian shenanigans popping up in the subs?

Aite mate! Look at this bloke! I'm gonna blow the inside of ya head all over four counties!

Ridiculous to even suggest that.

As for your last point. I don't think anyone commenting here actually watched the episode with my sub. They just nitpicked mistakes related to subs.
Try to actually compare certain parts of my edit to yours before you judge it.

And again, I would appreciate feedback on the new subs with new aegis. EP3, it's just 1 line @40seconds
https://anonfiles.com/0cifF0Eey4/EP3-0_40s-FRESH_ass

But there are no English speaking people there.

make 字幕 then

@SolitaryFlower; your commiesub friends also do honorifics in offtrack, so idk why you’re having a mental breakdown. Just use default netflix/disney etc subs? Why are you even here if you hate fansub tradition?

Citation needed

If an Australian does the fansub am I just supposed to be okay with random Australian shenanigans popping up in the subs?

tbh i would watch that

@Nokiya At this point, more people are telling you to improve (and some are even offering advice on how to do so) than people who are actually watching your release for what you consider its merits. Consider for a moment that perhaps your approach is dated and that people don't actually want to see things done like that anymore. I could say LOTS more about this approach just based on my own experience, let alone that of the many seasoned others in this thread so far, but that's not adding anything constructive to this right now.

What's worth remembering is the fansubbers of ye olden days were largely amateurs, both in terms of their understanding of Japanese and what constitutes a faithful target-language viewing experience. In their defense, translation of a lot of types of Japanese entertainment media was very niche at that time and so there were essentially no resources to know any better as very few qualified translators even touched the stuff.

Do what Light said: Join our Discord server, get a subber role, and at least learn the technical skills required to make a release more watchable.

From there, you can decide if you'd like to learn more about what goes into a translation, and perhaps realize that basing your standards and principles on what barely-self-taught teens with no Japanese proficiency OR linguistics qualifications did about two decades ago isn't what's best for the piece of media you say you want to respect the authorial intent of, then maybe you'll see some major improvements in both the viewing experience of the people who download your potential future releases, as well as your own viewing experiences of other works.

@commie
It was metaphorical :)
But oh boy, this sure is making rounds in discord groups. Don't you guys have anything better to do than make fun of someone's technical issue. Geez

@Lumpstud
I would too. But I would prefer dub in that case. Which is what abridged anime is. So If I want memes, I would go and watch that.

@GoodJobMedia
Damn son even you too. I downloaded plenty off stuff from you back in the day.
Are you all in the same discord or something?

Well yes, people are starting to post constructive comments now after being called out for their autistic spasms which include colorful death-wish picutres.
I very much appreciate constructive comments like yours.
I don't doubt anyone's technical superiority when it comes to subbing in any way. I was impressed with the typesetting light's group did. I don't have the knowledge nor the time for that.
I am an amateur too, obviously. I try to improve and I'm taking notes. But I fundamentally disagree with you when it comes to localization.
I'm not doing these subs so I can add "Taichou" and "Vollständig". That's like 5 minutes of editing subs. I'm specifically targeting and removing the (what I like to call) cringe over-localization.
I physically cringe when I see stuff like that.
And like I already said, I don't care what people consider "dated", unless it's related to technology. I have my own ideals. I have found a handful of people that share my ideals, but that's irrelevant atm.

Do what Light said: Join our Discord server, get a subber role, and at least learn the technical skills required to make a release more watchable.

I would be delighted. I very much welcome all knowledge and tips. My views on the final product differ, but technicality is the same.

Also, for your last point: As I got older I started to dislike old fansubs more and more. Specifically for over-localizing. I do not in any way want to imitate them.
Except technical stuff like karaoke and typesetting. Those were always good (in later years). And flavor like Onee-chan or Vollständig obviously.
My goal is to edit all of those old fansubs into something I consider watchable.

I would rather not post my ID here as I feel there are some serious psychopaths here that would spam me for days. So, if you can share an invite link, that would be great.

You are correct, the GJM discord has nothing better to do and pinged me saying I was mentioned.

I think your release is fine (besides not muxing in the fonts). If people don't like it, then they can just not download. Keep doing you, king. Don't let the haters stop you.

#StopCyberBullying

None of the stuff said here bothers me. As in hurting my feelings. I can just close my eyes or turn the tab off.
The only stuff that I'm bothered about is wasting all day typing paragraphs trying to get people to be constructive.

Fonts are actually muxed, however I (apparently) used some old architecture and it's not displaying to people with newer stuff.
Whether it's because I reused the sub file from nandesuka encode or because I used old aegisub, idk. Still didn't get an answer.

Those are styles, not the actual font files themselves. GJM discord can be found here.

I assumed that when I save .ass it includes all the fonts in it. Seems logical doesn't it.

Nah, because of the way font systems works. It'd also make your ASS file itself massive. All it does internally is say "okay font collector, this is the font I want, and I want the bold/italics/etc. version of it at this fontsize". If your system does not have those fonts installed or they're not included with the mkv file, it will just fall back to another font (usually Arial for Windows systems). A lot of programs work this way, like Photoshop or Vegas for example.

tl;dr?

tl;dr is fonts suck

well, if you know the technicality it doesn't make sense. But when you're a noob like me it does :p
The "logic" was furthered because everything worked perfectly on my end. Figured out where they go in mkv tool.
I guess that's about all the sub technical issues solved. For the time being...

Nah, there's a lot more issues with the actual subs themselves that I don't really wanna get into in a nyaa comment section (like the way you handled different fonts in-line, or faux-ruby). Drop by the GJM server and I can help fix up some of them in a couple of hours.

I already solved the fonts in line thing with the \fn \r
no clue what faux ruby is. I'll join tomorrow.

using discord is more cringe than this release tbh

^
this tbf. verification not required.

To answer your question about why fansubs keep sensei as it is, but translate taichou to captain, it's because no English-speaking society would say Trunchbull-Teacher or Teacher Trunchbull.

So in that case, you'd either leave as is, Trunchbull-Sensei, or fully localise it to Miss Trunchbull. Context also matters - what if perhaps the "Sensei" isn't a school teacher, but actually a sports coach? In that case, it's more accurate to go with the fully localised option. But what if the "Sensei" is a manga artist? Then maybe it makes more sense to leave it untranslated as it adds contextual flavor. The point is that each decision is a case-by-case scenario and not an unchangeable fixed policy.

In the case of taichou, it makes very little sense to keep it untranslated. We have a proper English word for that and it's captain. English-speaking societies commonly use it as an honorific such as Captain Phillips. There really is no argument for why you'd leave it as Phillips-taichou. The flavor here adds nothing, because nearly every society uses "captain" as a title.

As others have said, what makes a translation "good", is to accurately convey the writer's intent. If you just apply literal translation to everything, then you aren't doing that. If a casual viewer reads reiatsu but came in without a clue of what that means, then you haven't succeeded in your translation. That being said, it seems the target audience of this release is yourself, so I suppose you can do what you like.

Ignore the naysayers. Localization is a satanic technique to pervert God’s holy scripture. Nyaa is teeming with Satan’s agents and, make no mistake, their goal is nothing less than your eternal damnation. Each localization you include is a compact that tears your soul asunder, so keep translating ateji and inserting random Japanese words into your script. The comments here are proof that you’re doing the Lord’s work.

@eamonx

Impressive, very nice.
Let's see you do: Zanpakutou (official sub(?) and fansubs), Shinigami(fansubs), Onee-san +variations (Fansubs)
Getsuga Tenshou (official sub and fansub)

After you're "done" with that, let's see you do these but for the original Japanese version:
Sado's Derecha, Izquierda, El Directo, La Muerte (japanese, official sub and fansub)
Hollow's Cero (japanese, official sub(?) and fansub), Resurrección (japanese, official sub{?) and fansub), + everything else
Same for "German" (Viz is using some frankenstein spelling, but it's still "german")

Eagerly awaiting response :)

@Guncannon
Actually, localization (in this case) is mostly done by self entitled Americans who think the whole world revolves around them and that their euphemisms and expressions are used by everyone else as well (native English speakers).
This goes both for official and fansubs.
Case in point: everyone here is in the same discord groups, echo chamber(ing) and circlejerking each other.

Cope, Seethe and Dial8

Dear Nokiya,
Some people dropped into this comment section to give you advice regarding technical issues with your release, so I should give you some advice regarding the concepts you're consistently wrong about in your explanations. Localization is a process. Translation is part of it. The term you're actually looking for is domestication. It's a translation approach, and its opposite is foreignization. So if anyone starts posting memes and hating on you, you can always respond with "I'm taking a foreignizing approach to my subtitles" and it'll sound much better. And you can say you don't like domestication and it'll sound much better too.
Another thing is that your "localization", or actually domestication, isn't something that uh... "self-entitled Americans who think the whole world revolves around them" invented. If you read on the topic of word-for-word and sense-for-sense translation, it goes all the way back to Ancient Rome, Cicero, and Bible translations. There were multiple arguments throughout two millenniums about this. GJM's idea is usually to focus on the purpose of translation, so if we're translating a comedy, the purpose is to be funny - we don't explain the word plays, but rather rewrite them to make sense in English, because it's not funny to explain a joke. But there is many different approaches, like to focus on the author, to focus on the purpose, to focus on the audience, etc. One book that always gets recommended in translation studies, as its written in a simple way and really interesting to read, is Mona Baker's In Other Words. The author describes in this book many different problems (e.g. words that exist in the source language but don't in target language) and presents multiple solutions how to approach such problems. I think it's a great read for anyone dabbling in translation, even as a hobby, especially when they're just starting out.
Hope that helps!

Not the person you asked, though the one who made fun of your "taichou", so

Let’s see you do: Zanpakutou

A fake word created by the manga to call a concept from it. There's no reason to translate it because the show itself explains what it means. It could be translated if needed though

Shinigami

Soul Reaper is the official translation, some fansubs are just too weeb to use it

Onee-san +variations

Weeb bullshit

Getsuga Tenshou

It could be translated, but it's also just the name of a tecnnique. It works as a proper noun so what the individual Japanese kanji mean doesn't really matter to understand the show itself.

After you’re “done” with that, let’s see you do these but for the original Japanese version:

Sado’s Derecha, Izquierda, El Directo, La Muerte
Hollow’s Cero, Resurrección, + everything else
Same for “German” (Viz is using some frankenstein spelling, but it’s still “german”)

Same shit as Getsuga Tenshou or Zanpakutou. The use of foreign words for all of those give flavor to stuff without confusing people who don't know the languages. You don't need to know that "resurrección" means "resurrection" because it's not literally a resurrection, but a fake concept from the show that simply uses the spanish word as its name.

Calling captains "Taichou" is completely different because it's just a regular ass word that has a perfectly normal equivalent in other languages. It's basically the same shit as leaving "mizu" in the subs everytime someone says "water".

I'm old enough to remember Lunar Anime fansubs' releases of Bleach back when the Soul Society arc was still airing. They in fact did not leave those words untranslated.

Zanpakutou: Soul Slayer
Shinigami: Death God
Reiatsu: Spirit Power

Attacks were generally left in its original language because they are names and not terms/concepts. The above three are part of a fictional terminology. Getsuga Tensho is not a concept. Although, I wouldn't be strongly critical of translating it to Moon-Fang Piercer of the Heavens but it doesn't land nearly as well. Plus, many attacks generally have "double meanings" due to use of kanji.
Another example are sword names e.g. "Howl, Zabimaru!" rather than "Howl, Snake Tail!"

Brother/sister honorifics don't even exist in the English language so this is one of the hardest things to translate. There's no right answer. I hate the out-of-sync nature of reading a character's name in the subtitle, but hearing Onii-san. This is especially jarring when it's not part of a full sentence such as when a character calls for their brother. But there are cases where it's definitely a uniquely Japanese thing, such as yakuza members referring to their seniors. This issue is similar to the common usage of san, chan, senpai, sama, dono in that there isn't a direct equivalent honorific in English. Generally speaking, whether or not to leave Japanese honorifics untranslated is dependent on the fiction's setting. If the Japanese cultural setting is clearly a major element of the story, then it's a viable option. If the story just happens to be set in Japan, with its culture/setting not really a contributor to the story, then I'd skip that option. And if the story definitely takes place outside Japan, then I absolutely would skip that option.
