Ugh, we’ve done it.

update: Sorry, guys, but Senjougahara’s birthday is not on Seventh June, but on Seventh July.
It somehow escaped QC.

TLnotes

07:31
When Araragi says ‘baka’ there are first picture of a horse and then of a deer.
Japanese word 馬鹿 (baka) consists of ‘horse’ and ‘deer’ kanji, so it’s a somewhat of picture-word-play.

Nose (鼻) and Flower (花) have exactly same reading.

Story about Senjougahara is largely based on fact that in Japanese, words 重い(Heavy) and 思い(Thoughts) have the same reading.

And words 重み(Omomi) and 重さ(Omosa) are largly used too. Both are nouns that have 重(Heavy) as kanji and word stem, but ‐み and ‐さ endings differ. -sa ending is mostly used for ‘real’ things, in our case it’s omosa, physical weight. -mi ending is mostly used for ‘non-real’ things, good example would be 楽しみ(Tanoshimi – happiness) and in our case I chose to translate it as mental weight, dignity.

More things about that crab-god.
As I said in previous tlnotes, it’s Omoshikani. As explained in this episode, it was formed of 思い (omoi – thoughts) and しがみ (shigami – cling) and could be interpreted as 柵 (shigarami – bonds) as well.
So it’s heavy-thought-mind crab-god that is thoughts-that-cling – mental bonds as well.
Like, it’s a conglomeration of the discarded thoughts and feelings of clinginess from many different people, given consciousness.

NisiOisiN sure loves wordplay.

    1st: thank you very much for this release. I’m going to be stopping here every episode to say thanks.
    2nd: I just watched episode 1…and the TS hell….holy shit. I have a dual-core 2.97 Pentium IV with 2 GB DDR2….and it’s not enough. Still…superb work on the episodes.

    Look for unofficial 480p encodes at tokyo toshokan.

    Парни, вы конечно круты и т.д. Но с опенингом вы перестарались. Я голову чуть не сломал чтобы прочитать перевод. Реально, очень неудобно. На 1:24 – у синего текста фон – синие же скрепки, английский текст сразу невидно, а потом уже становится поздно. Периодически желтый на светлом фоне есть – глаза ломает (оргинальный желтый – на гораздо более темном фоне), 1:14 например.
    Но все равно, спасибо 🙂

    На мой взгляд, никаких проблем с опенингом нет.

    Прекрасные сабы! Заметил лишь опечатку 2:28 “Tthat young man”. С нетерпением ждем третьей серии 🙂

    да, проблем нет, все красиво. но слегка нечитабельно. приходится искать, где что написано.
    ну, и да, ждем вашу версию диалога гг и гг-ни, который занимает первые 2/3 серии 😀

    Please, release 480p version. Unofficial ones don’t get uploaded to anime-ds and there is no way to get them from any source other than torrents.
