I've watched it live on the jp tv, but the recording will either pop up on bilibili, or someone from the community will upload it somewhere.
Watching SymphoNare, and I expected many things, but I did *not* expect the orchestral cover of Lightning Detective Ban.
Damn.
when you're very mpv-pilled
You can't hide behind the semantics of the source material and claim greater authenticity. That's fearing the job. Translation is a collaboration between you, the work, and the creators and unless you own your choices, you're not holding up your end of the bargain and you're misrepresenting theirs.
That doesn't mean don't take bold, creative leaps. But it means you have to be willing to stand by your work, your approach, and its individuality and be prepared to show receipts for it all. There's no truly neutral approach in creative translations and even so-called direct ones have consequences.
Last thread on the matter because it's been a long week, but if there's one piece of advice I can offer to fan translators who truly want to do a good job, it's this: be prepared to take ownership for your work. That's the number one thing I find lacking in many, man fan translations in general.
