Time for closure. Dealing with Sasaki and Ishihara. Moving on.
Before anyone asks, episode 13 is a recap episode. It’s stuck in TLC because of a few new lines of narration. It’d be dumb to hold this up for that, so yeah, here it is ahead of 13.
Also, we opted to not subtitle the insert song toward the end (~16:50) for :reasons:, so here it is, for those of you who are interested:
ah ame ga futta ato ni wa
otento sama mo warai dasu
dakara kyou wa ran ran boogie oogie
ah hoshi no tomoshibi ga
kokoro no naka kagayaki dasu
dakara kyou wa ran ran boogie oogieOh, when the rain stops,
the sun comes out with a giant smile.
Oh yeah! Today is a merry, merry day.
Oh, the stars are twinkling,
and they fill the inside of my heart with light.
Oh yeah! Today is a merry, merry day.
Thank you for the fast release!
thx <3

Such as what ?
The subtitling is/would be distracting to the scene, pretty much. Same as in ep2 where we opted to not subtitle the song that’s playing when Jou is being taken away. Lyrics or not, it’s background music and meant to set the mood while you watch the scenes play out. Bringing it to the foreground messes with the presentation in a way we didn’t like. In a nutshell, this was deemed more important to the experience than the song lyrics. Subtitles steal a decent amount of attention so in some cases like this they just aren’t overall beneficial.
