jumping on the bandwagon
First of all, apologies to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
that_oneill_guy if I gave you the impression in my comment about "Forcis(Forsyth?)/Chris subtext" that it was "stupid" to make the Bylaha/Weihrauch switch and leave Forcis as it was - katakana is frequently inadequate for exact phonetic translation, and I would never have guessed it was spelled any other way if I hadn't come across the alternative spelling.
Name:feliciter
How I discovered Scrapped Princess and this community: Local video store was having a sale, the title and premise sounded intriguing, art looked fantastic. Pretty much hooked after 4 episodes, but the dub on my version (VCD released by a local company) was less than satisfactory, especially for my limited Japanese. So I searched the Net, foundthat_oneill_guy's LJ (and his translations and scans), and here I am.
The character(s) I will defend with bike chains and broken beer bottles if I see anyone bashing him/her/them: Pacifica and Forsyth appear to be the most misunderstood.
How I plan to contribute: I'm not much of a writer, and even less of an artist, but might be inspired.
Level of exposure: Currently re-watching on local TV (subtitles are better than the VCD).
How SutePri broke my brain: the sudden, almost casual mention of DNA, the images of ruined apartment blocks/carparks, the mecha in a mediaeval world - it's almost like the last scene in the original "Planet of the Apes", except you could see the plot twist coming half a mile away in that movie, whereas in Sutepri it meshes in layers of a complicated Matrix.
How it broke my heart: The animation, the acting, episode 23 and 24...need I say more?
What I still don't understand: Think I'll defer this until I finish re-watching it.
I'm not sure if this really happened or not: See above.
