INTEREST: Uncle From Another World Insider Paints Gloomy Picture of Anime's Production Schedule

It's not my place nor my intention to defend someone else's translation. And I have not claimed expertise on being able to accurately translate the tweet myself. Translation is not a math, which is why there's always a need to interpret, as you've said yourself, beyond strictly translating word for word of the source. And all interpretation has a degree of inaccuracy to it beyond the most literal intention of the source. And yet you've claimed that there is a definite black and white, right and wrong, to all parts of the translation, including what is obviously interpolated in both yours and Lynzee's translation. I may have left out something to emphasize the "pettiness," but so have you chosen to interpret things to your own convenience. Such is the nature of both translation and interpretation.

*He also mentioned an incident where he reminded a staff member to "not treat a person I introduced to them carelessly, and to please act appropriately through the final episode."

I don't see the sentence insinuating the animation team has treated the introduced person badly. That's merely your interpretation. You did not write this translation so there's no way for you to confirm whether the translator has made this insinuation.

Similarly, unless you're the tweet author themselves, or that you've confirmed it with the author themselves, there's no way for you to fully confirm the real intent of the author. It's egotistical for any translator to claim that their translation represent THE truth unless the translator is translating his own work.

Remind in English may be a synonym of convey, but in Japanese the verb used is very different and will not be translated as such.

This coming from someone who has already admitted he cannot translate the same sentence on his own without machine help, so spends time and energy trying to win a semantics battle from the post-truth high horse.

If you've got the guts to defend your favourite article writer, put up or shut up. I'm waiting for the time difference to pass before the article writer herself either dismisses my argument using your line of "logic", or decides to incorporate what I've argued in an edit. Not your call, nor have you been convincing to any degree that I'm being "petty" with my concerns on that line.

Liar. If you can translate it just fine, what's with the "It's not my place nor my intention to defend someone else's translation. And I have not claimed expertise on being able to accurately translate the tweet myself."?

The sentence in question IS basic Japanese, so why are you arguing otherwise?

I don't work on the weekends. This Monday is my wedding anniversary. Have a good one.

My concern is that will these delays kill this project or does the production committee have the funds to secure more time-slots into the next season? Will we have to wait 3-9 months for episodes 8-13? I hope this show continues as it is my favorite of this season. So I would be sad to see it get axed.
