Konosuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World! (light novel)
| It seems the subs are really uniform, using a lot of gen z crap that wont be relevant next year, and for some reason the only word they know for sake is bubbly. They can't even use the word sake. |
| I noticed a lot more subs nowadays are pushing gen z slang. Sad state of translating industry atm. |

just watch the dub. you wouldn't be whining if you just did so. |
| You're exaggerating, but it fits much better in a show like this than some of the others I've seen this season, so it's whatever. |
| If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that. |
| It's not like people were calling out localizers for a while now or something... |

I think it’s hilarious. Like how they used 'joever' in Girls Band Cry. It completely destroyed the emotional impact of the scene but it made me chuckle.

Actually all subs are fan subs since they are not officially out of japan.
| @Yacinganapathi Well, no. Fansub has a specific meaning, the subs that licensed streaming platforms do aren't fansubs. |

| I feel like Kazuma saying, “we’re cooked!” is surprisingly fitting. Especially for an anime of this genre where the comedy aspect is relevant for the show. As long as it doesn’t ruin the anime, it shouldn’t matter too much. I found it funny tbh. |
| It'll all be okay in the end. If you're not okay, it's not the end. |
Varekk said: Kazuma said “mid” one time, calm down. Also the subs keep saying “bubbly” because Aqua is not saying sake. It sounds to me like “Shiwa shiwa” which doesn’t seem to mean “bubbly” exactly, but it’s adjective-like in the same way, and closer than having her say sake, alcohol, or anything else as specific. Well, you cannot forget the “Booty Call” scene. That one doesn’t fit at all. And I did hear it over and over again until I realized the context is completely different. The pictures down below are what was translated, but this is what I heard them saying: Kazuma - 男の部屋を夜這いにきて、さらわれた姫をあげるとかどんな美人局だよ > What kind of badger game are you pulling where you sneak into a man’s room and offer to hand over the kidnapped princess? Chris - 夜這いじゃないよ！美人局もないよ！> I’m not breaking in your room! It’s not a badger game either!    |

Seems like a case of ‘This doesn’t make sense in English without additional context, what do we do?’ And a, perhaps, subpar solution. Though it fit well enough from Kazuma’s mouth, I just thought “that sounds like the translator was reaching, there.” and shrugged it off. But all in all, fair enough. |

The word booty call should have no place in this series. That word is not only a western term, but it’s also a gen Z word that should not belong. |

| Using slang and terms that might quickly become outdated can definitely detract from the viewing experience |

I usually watch Konosuba dubbed, but this is the first actual Konosuba season (not counting the spinoff) that I'm watching as it's released, so I'm watching subbed because I didn't want to wait two extra weeks. |

| Official sub is bad in general |

| @PGMYT I would have used quotes and used "night visit" instead of booty call, but it's honestly close enough. Chris - 夜這いじゃないよ！> I’m not breaking in your room! <- this is straight up wrong, 夜這い does mean going into someones room for some sexy time |

| @lmosa yeah but then you realize Konosuba is from 2016 and predates all of this crap |

| @PGMYT Booty call was originated in the 1990's, it's millennial slang. |
