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.

    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.
