    Appreciate your work. I used to have a Crunchyroll and Hidive subscription before Hidive left and Crunchyroll used noticeably terrible and unchecked MTL subs (specifically The Yuzuki Family's Four Sons, that was a complete mess. "Brother Falcon" still lives more in my head than the name of the series itself, so I searched "Crunchyroll Brother Falcon" to find the series name). Crunchyroll also constantly just kept missing their own release times, and there were multiple occasions before I ended my subscription where they just didn't release the English subs as well, for example only having Spanish subs just after release. It's just been so much better doing it this way.

    because I’m currently translating anime

    How does this work if you don't speak Japanese? MTL? How can you be sure you're doing a remotely decent job of it?

    JP -> EN

    EN -> DE, ES, PT, etc.

    might be different for anime, but at least that's how it works in the sector I'm involved with. It's a lot easier to get a translator for English into language X than getting one for Y to X. If I'm correct with my assumption for the anime pipeline, this would make it even more important to get high-quality EN translations that stay true to the source, since many other language translations will be derived from that.

    "Speak of the devil and he appears" (Literal translation: "Speak of Cao Cao, (and) Cao Cao arrives.")

    I know literal translation can't work 100% of the time, but the cao cao version of that saying is way more fun and a good example of why we should strive to have subs/dubs be a accurate as possible. Getting the foreign culture is just so nice.
