Crimson Knights after Tsukasa?

Grah. Another misconception of the first episode's ending. Heee! Gotta love it! ^-^ However, I shall not speak of the meaning of the end of the ep here, for that is for the Serious Discussion board. n.n

waaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh,

sorry. I missed a part of the first ep, and went of the assumption of Bear in the second. Sorry guys

I'm not saying there's anything wrong with the misconception. I just think it's amusing. n.n I think they did it like that on purpose for that reason alone, honestly. n.n

Person you see unconscious in the end of first ep isn't Division head for the Crimson Knights but someone else. (I know who it is and I don't think it's spoiler but it's fun to notice it on your own)
But Mimiru does tell us in the second episode that "she (player of Crimson Knight who fought the monster) was unconscious over her monitor, and even when she regained consciousness, she had acute memory loss" So what Keru said did happen. Unless meaning was lost in translation... (source: E-F fansubbed file)

Of course I may be missing the point and this may be wrong.

I apologize in advance if this material is considered spoiler (but you should have seen EP 2 by now! heh heh)

That's because E-F fell for the infamous misconception as well. Ginkan's player is likely male, honestly. Mimiru's using the word 'aitsu' which can apply for either gender, as opposed to 'kare' (him) or 'kanojo' (her).

Ah, that's right, I recall that Ginkan's player is suggested to be a male (I guess from the tone of speech and the subject of conversation near the end of the series when they talk)

Thanks for clearing that up.

Fansubbers in general seems to have trouble translating gender neutral phrases....

It's not so much the gender, it's the fact that there are a lot of -non gender- specific terms used in the Japanese language. It makes it difficult to figure out what the subject of the sentence is sometimes.
