Credits
As I try out different workflows with my fansubs, I play with subtitling the credits in the subtitles on the video. Many of the fansubs I watch do not translate the credits, and it seems the norm for many. However, I realized after a while that they were just a part of the rest of the film as the content, and really ought to be there. There then came the problem of technical limitations of my workflow and skill - often credits are done at the same time as a song, or scrolling, and it can get pretty clogged on screen unless you cover the original words, but if they're moving, that's definitely (for now) outside of my skills. Therefore, for the videos I did not hardsub the credits into, I will put them here.
Japanese names are difficult to translate sometimes as the name kanji can be read in multiple ways. I had to rely on Google Translate, Googling the names to see if anything came up that had been translated into English, and asking a native speaker for help. Sometimes the native speaker said for some of the trickier ones "I'm not sure, you'd have to ask the person directly" which, of course, I can't really do. Therefore, these are the name translations to the best of my knowledge. If you know the absolutely true translation of any of these, please let me know via email at melissa.in.bordeaux@gmail.com.
