Review講評
First of all, we would like to say congratulations to the first and second place winners of this contest, and thank you to all who participated and submitted their translations. For this contest, we looked for submissions that had good word choice, balanced line breaks, and subtitles that adhered to the character limit while communicating the necessary nuance in a way that was easy to understand. We also looked for submissions that included dialogue that sounded natural and captured the tone and personality of the characters while not being overly casual.
