Mistake and group preferences?

[snm-queen.livejournal.com]

Was I the only one who thought that Shinsen & Ureshii sub for the Emperor's second line in episode 6 was a little off?
Didn't he say something along the lines of, "今クロヴィスと話した...急がなければな けかくご"? Basically, "I was talking to Clovis, we must speed up the plan(?). (I probably screwed up somewhere in both the Japanese sentence and the translation but I'm not claiming to be the purveyor of perfect Japanese. Oh, far from it. XD) But to translate that second part as, "He is on a beach now, at peace", can anyone see where that comes from? Or is this how they've always been, like, their level of translation? (Does that even make sense?) I've only watched episode 6 by them and I noticed some other little things but they weren't quite as odd as this and I always thought Shinsen was a good group so now I'm just curious.

Asking since I'm trying to burn stuff for a friend as part of a get-well present and I'd rather she not end up with odd subs. I personally watch RAWs & gg, since soft subs make taking caps for graphics easier, but the added notes are kind of annoying. So...thoughts?

EDIT: Too many comments, I give up. XD;; Just wanted to thank everyone for their input and I'm glad to see I wasn't the only one who noticed the mis-translation.

:D! I made fun of GaraKan a lot at first, but it got pretty good around ep 7-8ish. Ralph is a bit of a pain in the side, but I dig Rachel. Speaking of the DVD's, did you hear about the DVD-only eps? D: I am curious about what DVD 17 will be, because 16 -> 17 seem to flow right into each other... ah well.

I hope the Geass DVD's are nice too. I want to order those, but ouch, one episode on DVD 1. >_>; I hope they're really 16:9. ><;;

Yeah, I have to say there, one episode on a DVDis a bit 'ouch' considering Japanese DVDs are expensive anyway and importing them is also expensive. Garakan's DVDs are so nice they are worth it. They all come with an object (set of beautiful pin badges, a pendant - the first one had Kureo's harmonica!) and an Okama artbook of character and animation designs. Code Geass' first DVD doesn't make me jump up and down...I did hear about the DVD only stuff; that's what I like of a DVD!

I *adore* Rachel! She's so crazy! I think you could have made a whole show just out of her and Ralph fighting over Vetti (he's completely oblivious! lol)

sd;flkkld;sfl Rachel is awesome. *_* Did you watch episode 22 raw by any chance? <_<;;

[thomasvye.livejournal.com]

I have seen right up to the end! XD

[rhyste.livejournal.com]

Dude, what Rachel did to Ralph in ep 22 was... hot. *_*

If you've seen no further, I won't spoil you, but she's not done yet!

(She had to deal with her eternal rival!)

[rhyste.livejournal.com]

Ah, yeah, I was helping out on episode 23 and 24 earlier today actually. XD What she did in 23 was also totally <3!!!

Rachel is awesome. She really would have made Vetti the best wife ever. Except he's gay and mad. But apart from that. :DDD

Haha. They can be married as Queen & Queen, and can both wear the Tiara! >_>;;
