Party-pooper or maybe killjoy would be good enough, depending on how delinquent the kid is.

Roughly: "He doesn't like school because he 'has to sit around'" いい顔 is like 'to be happy', or have a smile. いい顔(を)させない means school doesn't allow him to be happy The twin brother explains that his sportier brother doesn't like school -- quoting his brother's reason -- 'because (he) can only...

You also seem to be unsure of that line. In this case, it's indicating that the last vowel is held for a while. It's indicating the character is impressed in a relaxed way, almost like saying it with a yawn to themselves when nobody else can hear. Anime characters do it pretty often to bring up...

"Are there really hackers like that/who can do that?" "Huh, there's no reason to tell you a lie" His friend is basically saying that it doesn't make a difference; there's no benefit to lying. In this sense, 仕方ない is being used to mean 'It would be what it is, even if this were a lie.'

Lit: " Feeling comes that Raika also doesn't dislike that girl/person." Trans: "I get the feeling that even Raika doesn't have a problem with her/(who she is)" Note: may imply that Raika dislikes most people. Lit: "Her existence is like a faraway star" (good as a final trans) Trans: "She's...

Re: Short & Quick Translation Request Thread (Thread for members with little/no JP knowledge. OP for instruction.) つ-かあんた、 今までそんな事知らないでここにいたのね。 "Well, you didn't even know that stuff until now, even though you were here (the whole time)." "Well, you've been here (the whole time) and you didn't...

血肉 may refer to near relatives, not just flesh; like the english expression 'my flesh and blood'. It may potentially be translated as '...the flesh and blood successor... was the bishou no senshi (smiling soldier)'. Without a verb at the end, it's almost certainly an AはBです structure; B is A...

Re: Short & Quick Translation Request Thread (Thread for members with little/no JP knowledge. OP for instruction.) 1: Despite its popularity and all the requests we get for it, we don't think it'll be possible to work on a new Gundam Build Fighters series. Besides, we still haven't begun...

The literal translation of まあ。。。こんなもんか is something like 'Well, it's like this?' or 'well, this is it.'. As mikkih says, it's kind of a rhetorical question. まあ is a sort of verbal pause, like when people begin an explanation with 'well...'. So if you want to translate it properly, imagine a...

This is a guess, but it could be a colloquial version of ペコペコ熊, which would basically mean 'hungry bear'. To me, saying /paykokumah/ is a bit difficult, and it almost sounds natural to shorten it into /pay'kumah/. So, the translation: ぺっクマのあの引きつった顔ったらなかったぜ！わははーーっ！！ ぺっ熊の = angry bear's 引きつった顔 =...

勝てる勝てない以前に (adverb) - Winning/losing('s) before (earlier than winning or losing...) 次元が違うのです (statement) - it is that the level/perspective is different (There's a difference in perspective/level) Hopefully that helps you out :)

僕と戦いでください translates literally into 'fight with me'. と in contexts like this one usually means 'with'. A translator who is not skilled in English, or who translates very literally will ignore the opportunity to simplify the sentence by removing the 'with'. Because 'to fight (someone)' already...

さっぱりサラシなんですか？ 寝坊した Bingo; "I slept in"/"I overslept" 40秒で任度なさい EDIT: cmertb has a point; the first line may also be interpretted as "Are you completely exposed (naked)?" I doubt characters would be concerned about a shirt unless they were to put it in a dryer, so I believe this third...

I think "You can't just open shop here!" is the most concise you'll get while still retaining the correct meaning. As for the ちゃんと見てもらえてる。。。?, I would sway to "Are they seriously still watching me...?". Sometimes, moving an adverb can resolve ambiguity. By placing an adverb before the verb...

Re: Short & Quick Translation Request Thread (Thread for members with little/no JP knowledge. OP for instruction.) Hamelin's Violinist/ハーメルンのバイオリン弾き I did some research and found the manga that this comes from. The character the page is about is Orgel, and he appears to be some sort of...
