Really now, is that necessary? Is ordained that complicated of a word, and if it is than why use it in the first place? I’m a generally patient guy when it comes to fansubs and their problems, but I just have to shake my head at this.

Hehe. A subtitle to explain a word in another subtitle is indeed ridiculous. But sadly, this isn’t the first time I’ve personally come across something like this.

Reminds me of learning vocabulary words in English class.

at least it’s not as lol-inducing as the subs that group made for the Idolm@ster anime.

Thanks IKnight. I was worried that I would misinterpret your post.

Even though this is odd. We shouldn’t freak out like a certain person who made an entire video criticizing the fansub culture.

Of course. We do the proper thing and restrain ourselves to word play and mockery.
