Is it odd that reading those subtitles reminds me of things like fingernails on chalkboards and the sound of squeaking styrofoam? They may get the general idea across, but they're so far from anything even resembling conversational English... it really bothers me.

One of the great things about a.f.k. is they make it sound much more natural. It's not necessarily the most faithful translation at times (in a literal sense), but the idea gets across, as well as the implications attached to it. a.f.k. just rocks like that, lol.

Indeed. I'd much rather have a translation that sounds like it might actually be something the character would say (and that gets the point across, of course) than a literal translation that is to normal English as Frankenstein's monster is to a normal person. Reading something that looks like it was hacked together ruins my sense of immersion in the show.

I thought that referring to Haruhi Suzumiya as SHOUNEN was retarted.

But the Dan-chou armband reference was awesome. XDD

It's sad that Konata is using IE 6 up there. :(

Nuuu! Why!? Damn IE 6. So out-dated.

I really like Kagami's voice and choice of song for the ED karaoke. Still not the best so far, but it's good.

kagami's voice doing the ED = win... aya's ending songs were good too though.

anyways, another good episode.

kagami's reaction for gaining weight, and konata's reasons for being late were awesome

Ehh Konata!
I also like the sensei, and how she also plays online games... A review ruined the haruhi reference to me but it still was cool. Id like to have a dad who reads manga and watches anime XD. The references lost me, they are put very shortly.. and what about that 80s reference i didnt get what was 80s in what the show girl said...

Pretty good. Although, I have the dvd rip and the subs aren't great. I wish I'd downloaded the afk torrent that people seem to like so much.

That was an ok episode, what was the song at the ending though? I didn't recognize it. lol

This was like staring at a mirror seriously. Konata is like the same as me. Plays video games, reads manga, watches anime and never seems be able to fit everything in her schedule that she would like to. The Haruhi reference was good. Don't want to miss those Haruhu episodes. I wish i had anime on tv :(. Sadly i have to resort to adult swim and they don't have hardly anything on. It would be nice to have a 24 hr block of anime shown on tv all the time.

Hrm. When they got to the cookies, it was kind of odd that they didn't establish that Kagami wasn't that good a cook first. I'm not saying that had to do the scene where Konata notices that their bento are different some days than others, but...

Is "Bourgeois" a brand of yogurt or something?

Ha! I didn't notice until Konata pointed it out that Kagami made a senryu. I wonder how it goes in the original... the DVD people's translators certainly structured the English that way!

I'm watching the DVDs, by the way. Their notes are in liner note format, tucked into the holders on the front part of the case.

Now we find in the narrative avalanche of quotes and references more or less veiled with Haruhi, To Heart, FMP, Tsuyokiss, Shuffle, etc. Tokikake! Addition to shew the house of Konata. Drawings and animations good
