Imo, subs should definitely keep the original order, just because of the “weirdness” in reading them if they’re reversed.
As for other “types” of translation like Dubs or Books… I usually prefer the original order anyway, but I can see why some localization teams would prefer to “swap” the order to make it easier for western fans (as long as they don’t actually swap name and surname like 4Kids did sometimes lol)
Not even just EN, there’s also “Aki Rosenthal”, “Laplus Darknesss”, “Astel Leda”…
I’ve always figured that “Japanese-sounding surname = Japanese order, otherwise English one”, but then you also have the exceptions like “Ceres Fauna” or “Gavis Bettel”… I guess they just randomly choose the order that sounds better (?)
“Disagreements” is a placeholder for possibly anything, even “I wanna stream Wii games but we don’t have perms” could be a “disagreement”.
She actually even mentioned some sort of disagreement in her reasons for leaving:
I had been consulting the office about these issues for several years. However, resolving them would have required a fundamental review of the organization’s internal structure, and I ultimately judged that it would be difficult for me to continue my activities in a sustainable way.
So, while obviously still being vague, she was even more clear than usual.
It’s the 8th iirc, and only if you count Nodoka and Fauna + Chloe which were announced last year and happened in the first couple days of the year. Not too surprising considering how big Holo is right now.
This… doesn’t feel real. Like, I know it is, but it’s just so weird.
On one side, it’s a graduation announcement with direct confirmation that she won’t be reincarnating, which is really sad and really a shame, considering how incredibly talented she is.
On the other, on the graduation announcement, she messed up the English translation at the beginning “spoiling” it, repeatedly read what she prepared incorrectly, laid out every possible scenario why she wasn’t graduating, and was even bantering with chat. With, of course, the most 草s I’ve ever seen in a graduation announcement chat.
I don’t know how she manages to be so professional and PON at the same time, the whole stream definitely left me confused, but it was all so overwhelmingly Kanata. She’s not even letting us be properly sad without making us laugh along the way. Man I’m gonna miss her.

Ouch, definitely something that needs to be addressed with a proper surgery, wish her the best of luck!
Goddammit I can’t unsee this now
Okay, I’ll admit Biboo in the endcard got me.
You said “She hadn’t deleted it yet I think, and I don’t know if she plans on it anytime soon.” so I thought you were talking about the tweets, did you mean the account or something else?
She did delete them afaik, they were all from 2014 and her past account shows no tweets prior to 2017.
I personally doubt anyone would care unless we’re talking real names/faces (and there’s very few who still have that up), but I guess it wouldn’t hurt, yeah.
How to do that here, though? I don’t think we have the “black bar” style in the text editor, at most we could put the whole comment/paragraph under spoiler, but does that universally work in every Fedi frontend? Iirc stuff like breakthrough text rendered differently on some of those.
Both this and the other comment don’t say anything for sure, but it’s been a while since Justice debuted so it could definitely happen.
I’m always very conflicted about new gens, on one hand more people makes Holo even harder to follow (which is a very minor downside in the grand scheme but I still end up thinking that lol), on the other they always recruit great talents and I’m happy they’ve been given their chance to shine. Overall, the current pace is good, as long as we don’t get into Nijisanji-level of spamming gens it’s fine.
Without directly revealing Biboo’s past-life account (because I don’t know if that’s allowed here)
There’s been a post with some past life discussions about a year ago and it’s still up, so I guess that’s allowed (?) at least in regards to stuff that’s still public, maybe not for ones that deleted everything (which is not Biboo’s case).
Kontaru’s TL is very similar to yours and they’re Japanese so yeah, pretty accurate translation.
Damn, manager post, I fear the situation is not good…
Iirc her close family is pretty old so it shouldn’t really be a surprise, but it’s still a shame. Hopefully it doesn’t end up being anything serious, wishing her and her family good luck.
Miko also addressed it as well, since Mikochi was name-dropped.
Was she? I thought people just made the connection because she was talking about people holding parties.
Weren’t the Kotoka rrats pretty much debunked? I mean, I wouldn’t still be friends with someone who ruined my career
Man… I just found out about the whole thing about the stream from two days ago, and regardless of what was true or false, she’s definitely not in a good spot and needs help.
Hopefully she gets the help she needs and can find peace, whether she wants that to be within Hololive or not.
The one I know of is in Yu-Gi-Oh (the DM series)
Some context: In JP the “main gang” mostly call each other by surname, while in the US version it’s by name. “Bakura Ryou” (Japanese order) is one of the few characters that technically didn’t have his name changed in the US version, but the rest of the main group keeps calling him “Bakura”. If you watch the series it just feels kinda off, but if you look at all the promotional material, it’s because apparently, in the US version, “Bakura” is the name, and “Ryou” is the surname.
The people outside the Translation team probably didn’t even look at the original series and just thought “well, they always call him Bakura, must be his name!”
