Tales of Woe posted:whoever's subbing this for funi seems a little bit outmatched, hopefully they get the hang of it better. really pleased with the direction though. Kumeta's works are basically the sort of series that demand a Translator's Note page or addendum because of how much wordplay he does with stuff. All of the named characters have a pun or double meaning in their name just like in Sayonara, Zetsubou Sensei.

Professor Irony posted:So is Goto dead in ten years or what? It's definitely an interesting framing device and without having read the manga, I'm not sure what the context is specifically. It definitely wants to add that element of mystery to what's otherwise a gag series + dad series Edit: From what I've seen elsewhere, some of the punchlines are trimmed from the chapters used to make episodes so it might be a deliberate spin by the director

Cops are already untrustworthy with billy clubs. Now you suggest we give them pole arms?

2reachmu posted:At least in the first episode they've plowed through enough visual references to characters in SZS. Kumeta also reuses character designs and he's 100% self-aware of that and even pokes fun at it in one of his manga.

https://www.doglistener.co.uk/humour/commandments.shtml Here's the link for the 10 commandments for Dog ownership that they seem to be referencing. Presumably when it got translated into Japanese and used for the movie 10 Promises to My Dog it was a lot less dark and made more sad. Like there's a number of ones in the original that talk about animal abuse which is probably necessary but also makes it more grim than melancholy.

Sindai posted:I hope the punchline is he's not dead, he just finally took a long vacation. I feel like that's what it's leading up to. Dad's name got linked to his author name and he decides to hang up the pen and run away to escape the fans and paparazzi.

Paracelsus posted:The whole series was just a slow-wind-up pun hidden in the pun that was the nominal premise for the series. Kumeta really likes puns.

macabresca posted:Kakushi was also a manga artist while the grandfather was a """real""" artist? Maybe that's the reason. I remember that in one episode mr grandpa asked Kakushi if he'd let Hime date a mangaka and Kakushi replied that no way in hell or sth I think that was more the case combined with the stereotypical father-in-law vs son-in-law rivalry
