Gripweed posted:I always come down to “did this character talk like a regular person in the original?” If so, then they should talk like a regular person in the translation. If accuracy to the dialogue requires weird or stilted dialogue, it should be changed to reflect accuracy to the character. no, they should all have texas accented english so that we know that we’re watching real dubbed anime and not something hollywood produced like avatar tokin opposition posted:I think all localization should make simple, innocent crossdressers into woke lib transsexuals  Kit Walker posted:As someone for whom English isn’t their first language, and who has tried (unsuccessfully) to learn half a dozen other languages, I’m going to take the bold stance that English is actually stupid easy and the only hard part is the numerous weird exceptions to rules I am a native english speaker and I find myself lucky that there is so much english content I have wanted to learn Korean but I haven’t found anything much that I want to read or watch except dubbed american shows and movies, unfortunately I could probably make it a lifelong pursuit to learn Japanese because anime provides endless opportunities for listening practice. Of course, being able to speak (or write) is equally (or more) important than just listening, but I’ve yet to find a compelling creative output in that regard.

tbqh I don't even watch that much anime or read that much manga all told but being able to play all the old second-rate RPGs that never got translated and released overseas has been a good motivator to learn Japanese

In the dungeon meshi dub, the actress who plays Nami in the Netflix OP live action show voices Marcille, and internet person ProZD aka Sungwon Cho plays Senshi... So, that's kinda cool I guess. I haven't actually watched the English version because my partner viscerally hates dubs but I've been told it's good

Dungeon Meshi is actually a lot like Ready Player One e: Sentai Daishikkaku has been pretty fun so far. It’s nothing toooo original, but it’s entertaining. The premise is basically an inversion of the usual sentai plot. The heroes have long since defeated the villains and only the henchman are still alive, but they keep them around to have a mock fight every Sunday to pretend the villains are still a threat. Unsatisfied with this really weird status quo, one of the henchman (Soldier D) decides to fight back and disguises himself as a human to infiltrate the hero’s organization and undermine it from within. Only a couple episodes are out so far so I don’t have much to add but it’s been fun Kit Walker has issued a correction as of 02:17 on Apr 17, 2024 |

January 6 Survivor posted:As someone who learned english as a second language and has been struggling to learn japanese for way longer than I will ever admit yeah no english is insanely easier to learn that japanese Did the other language you knew use an alphabet similar to English? Because I imagine that probably makes a pretty huge difference when it comes to learning to read. It might just be a personal thing, because I found everything except kanji (mainly writing them) and listening to fast speech (which is probably just something that requires a lot of practice and direct exposure) to be pretty simple. Kanji were literally the only thing I had to actively study in high school and the couple years I took it in college, because the grammar and vocabulary are both easy (the latter benefits heavily from each "letter" being a syllable*, so words are very rarely more than 4 or 5 "letters" long, which makes memorization easier). * more accurately a "mora"

Ytlaya posted:Did the other language you knew use an alphabet similar to English? Because I imagine that probably makes a pretty huge difference when it comes to learning to read. The problem with separating kanji from the language is that the difficulty, or more properly complexity, is all with kanji and the words somewhere between customarily and perforce written with kanji (and knowledge of modern Chinese is at best of the dubious sort of value you'd have in trying to square modern French with Anglo-Norman loans, if in addition French were written in Greek or Cyrillic: lots changed in meaning in terms of getting kanji into Japanese, the 床 as "floor" example from a word that in Chinese means only "bed", but also lots changed in both Chinese and hanzi orthography in the intervening timeframe.) You can make a solid argument that learning Japanese, as in the Yamato speech and the phonetic signs used to convey it, is easy, but on the other side of that is a not-wrong-per-se-but that full understanding and use of Japanese as it is actually written involves additionally learning two or three very inflected dialects of middle Chinese, otherwise dead like Latin, as well as a bespoke markup system. Or, without inverting the concepts and just going with the standard conception, to have fully fluent Japanese you have all the heartache of English where many words mean roughly the same thing but are pronounced differently (say, あたま like head for the body part, かしら for more earthy compounds like those involving "chief", とう for newer prestige/technical compounds like those involving "capital", and ず for older prestige/technical compounds like those involving "cephalo-") You additionally have the heartache that needing to recognize that all of those should be written down 頭, or conversely when reading aloud should be pronounced in their own way, and only the pronunciation (which you only have context clues for) clearly gives the proper meaning. But then, not all words work like this; there's the inverse of はかる sextet: 図る, 測る, 計る, 量る, 諮る, and 謀る. All pronounced the same. The first is to plan or calculate individually; the second to calculate physical dimensions; the third to calculate conceptual or time dimensions; the fourth to calculate weight; the fifth to plan/calculate as a group; and the sixth to plan/calculate something vile--that is, in English they'd be a nest of various words that were clearly different in speech and writing, probably plan/measure/evaluate/weigh/consult/plot, but in Japanese they are only distinct in writing. Those are just a couple examples, and I'm not going to go into deliberate wordplay like "your reporter took the train back to his office" (貴社の記者が汽車で帰社した--that is, きしゃのきしゃがきしゃできしゃした). There are a couple thousand for basic high school fluency, that is, the ability to understand a spoken dialogue, commit it to paper accurately, understand a printed excerpt, and read it aloud. The bright side is that the average adult Japanese person's grasp of these is not entirely on point either, and there are established mechanisms for working around confusion, so you can be replacement-value functional long before you're perfect.

One of the main characters loves tacos, which I can empathize with despite the cultural boundaries. Mahjong Soul Pon is a very funny series with all episodes at only a couple minutes each. Episode 6 is my favorite, really gets the yurucamp vibes down pat.

I just watched all 13 episodes of "Uncle From Another World" in an afternoon because people were talking about it in another thread. I haven't laughed out loud so often at a show for a long time. Seems like there should be more though, but it ends in a fine place I guess.

The first one went through so many production hiccups because of covid that I forgot about it and had to finish it months later.
