Ergo Proxy seems to suffer from translations/subtitles not conveying details/subtext/terminology sufficiently. I think it gets a bit underrated accordingly.

- meowface 6y agoAs one of the many people who was disappointed by the show when I watched it ages ago (despite its amazing aesthetic and visuals), I can totally believe that. In hindsight it's obvious, but after watching things from different subtitlers, I realized what a difference subtitle quality makes. It's especially annoying when you naturally start to pattern match and pick up certain common words (if you've watched a lot of stuff for years) and see a short subtitle that seems like an extreme simplification or ham-fisted watering down of what a character just said. Subtitle timing and duration can also make a difference. It makes you really appreciate good subtitling, at least.
