TheFlamy :
It’s like Sebastian saying he’s “one hell of a butler” when the original is あくまで執事です. Sure the translation doesn’t carry the humbleness of the original, but it’s a pretty good choice imo

As a translator and subtitler, I hope that translator was paid REALLY well. That's impressive, especially considering how time consuming subtitling can be.

As a translator, those were awesome and I strive to achieve such versatility.

Ooh now I want to know more about how the English puns stack up against the original Japanese ones in the Ace Attorney games 🤔

And people say that localizing is pointless and we should only use direct translations 🤨

every season an anime comes out of nowhere and charms me silly. last season it was Apocalypse Hotel (this season it's With You and the Rain)

i thought it was really good! the funeral/wedding episode was so funny 😭 and this same sentence stood out to me in spanish! its very similar but it actually rhymes: "nuestro único vicio es el servicio"

God King Varian :
I think a translation for the first rule you mentioned including the phrase “no strings attached” would fit. “Straight laced service with no strings attached” is what I came up with

Would work even better in French, as service and vice do rhyme.

Abdu :
When I heard that "only vice is service" and audibly went "OOOO" at how good of a phrase it is, both in isolation and as the localization of the original phew

Omotenashi is like when I went to a ryokan by myself on my birthday and the staff noticed it was my birthday on my registration paperwork and arranged a special sake and cake for me at dinner that night. They also gave me a small birthday present of jewelry when I left.

Learning about the wordplay in Japanese is so interesting, and these videos help me a lot with staying consistent with learning the language!

Mr. Darkbloom :
My favorite anime is Mawaru Penguindrum. This isn't wordplay necessarily but the official subs did 運命の至る場所 as "The Place of Destiny" while a fansubber named 8thsin went with "The Destination of Fate."
