What Japan thinks of MLP08

Here’s the Japanese comments from MLP:FiM Ep108 - Look before you sleep with Japanese fansubs by Chashu on Niconico doga!

The coments were a little disappointing, but at least it was the last episode that Chashu uploaded and then deleted. Which means next time you won’t have to merely imagine that the comments are floating across the screen anymore!



As always, don’t forget that w = lol



[One of the viewer-submitted tags reads “Yuri episode”. Yuri means lesbian erotica in mangas and animes (the female equivalent of “yaoi”).]

00:00 The tags wwww

00:01 Well this anime HAS a certain lesbian subtext so that’s not too far off www

00:01 I’m excited because of that tag

07:09 They’re missing some Pinkie in there for that

[Rarity: “Did you hear that, Applejack? YOU certainly would not want to do anything that would ruin Twilight’s VERY FIRST SLUMBER PARTY, WOULD YOU?”]

07:16 Rarity-san is a good girl

12:11 Rarity, well known for her short temper

12:27 What about Twilight w

12:28 War of the Pillows

12:33 There’s unreasonably many pillows in Twilight’s house

12:39 So many pillows

12:40 They’re too serious wwww

12:47 But why are there this many pillows in a library?

12:49 Wait a mo- wwwww

14:04 Isn’t Apojack actually pretty smart?

14:06 Rainbow Dash aint no meathead, she’s a super-featherweight-head

[Twilight: “Is there anything else that could possibly go wrong???” *lightning strikes* “Sorry I asked”]

15:01 That voice just now was absurdly cute

[AJ lassos the tree like a pro. Then she accidentally pulls it through the window into the library]

15:34 Skilled!

[Meanwhile, Twi is browsing her books for a solution]

16:32 “B aking; B ffs (friends); B rothers; B ranch…”

16:33 That ad-lib was too weak! w

16:33 BFF = Best Friends Forever

16:37 Hey hey w

16:41 Is this what they call a bookworm

16:42 What’s up with Twilight in this episode w

16:42 This aint the time for that www

16:59 Twilight is too diligent

[AJ finally makes the first move and apologises]

17:31 Applejack turned into an adult

17:40 Applejack is pretty studly after all

[Twilight is still too occupied with her guidebook]

17:55 Hold on a- w

17:57 And Twilight turned into an idiot girl w

[AJ and Rarity playfully bicker over who’s more sorry]

20:27 Oh come on now www

20:48 By the way, what happened to Spike?

[Rarity runs over a pile of books]

20:54 If you’re treating the books in a library like that you’re gonna get killed by Celestia

21:17 Well if you never fight at least once you’re not becoming close friends huh

21:20 Why did she get those pillows thrown at her now? ww

21:28 How nice

[from 21:38 till the end, it’s mainly comments thanking the uploader for the translation]

21:39 It’s rare for Twilight to be the idiot of an episode

21:47 HOW WAS THIS A YURI EPISODE???

21:47 Idiot girl Twilight is cute too

21:51 How nice that everything got settled~

21:52 It was entertaining!



===TN Corner===

XYZ is really an angel: A meme phrase originating from the anime series Angel Beats to praise the angel-like cuteness of the character Kanade Tachibana aka “Angel”. The redundancy of the original statement “Angel-chan is really an angel” was pretty much the whole joke to it.

Drossel: Main character from the Japan-only Disney CGI anime “Fireball” and “Fireball Charming”. Drossel, heiress to the mercurian robot empire in the year 48.234, is a stereotypical spoiled princess character who keeps striking dramatic poses. Naturally her movements make robotic clicking and whirring noises, which the commenter was implying. Her color pattern is somewhat similar to Rarity too…



Ghingham: A weirdly placed Gundam reference. Gym Ghingham is the villain from Turn-A Gundam. Slapping some sense into people is a long held tradition in the Gundam series, but Ghingham is pretty hardcore so he takes beatings to a whole different level.

Kita: Literally “it came”. An outcry of joy when something good comes up, for example when you’ve been looking forward to it happening.

Sarsen: Apparently Chashu translated AJ’s “Pardon” with “Sarsen” which is a very colloquial form of “Sumimasen” = “Sorry”. It may be an apology but it actually sounds like you don’t really mean it. Of course nico commenters were happy to see this expression because it’s most popular on the internet.

Confession Game: A game that is similar to Truth or Dare. However it is apparently being played by schoolkids for bullying. A group forces one person to confess their love to somebody. If that person fails, they get penalised by the group. If they succeed, the group is penalised.
