The epitome of this has to be when I asked a Portuguese speaker to translate "COSA FEIA! UMA CRIANCA FUMANDO" and then the response "E So Pra Tirar Gosta Da Cachaca" into Spanish... But since Spanish and Portuguese are so similar I got an entirely different translation out of it than THE ACTUAL SPEAKER of the language did. I am a Native Spanish Speaker and sorta get Portuguese because its so similar to Spanish,.

DiC is not pronounced DiC but the correct version might not be allowed on youtube lol. Also The DiC dub has ONE REALLY legit lovely localization. When Naru asks Nephrite "If his Evil Organization gives him free Sundays". This is a bit confusing for a foreigner, why not Saturday too? Because in Japan your only day off is sunday. So DiC just goes "Do you have any holidays in that evil society of yours?" which is just amazing.

This video convinced to subscribe right away.

Thanks for the video, just now watching JoJo and wondered which was best for me to watch.

So I know it's off topic but where do I go to find shows in other languages because I am trying to learn French for my grandmother you wouldn't happen to know streaming services for like French shows or something

Its so cool that you did the translations, I actually thought about the subs alot watching it and wondered how it translated so naturally from japanese, your subs really fit into the whole mood of the series and kept the humor that I worried could have been lost in translation, great job, you really did this amazing anime justice!!!

Oooh, I remember this drama, I remember not liking the person who said this (you, I guess) but ultimately just moving on with my life. This was a really interesting video, and I enjoyed it. Context is really fun to get into and if I'm correct in assuming the anime was うる星やつら then the world incel is completely acceptable 🤣

I'm so glad you're talking about this manga! I love food, although more-so the eating than the cooking, so it was an absolute win for me. I love the dynamic the author has created for the women and can't wait to continue reading it. ( I tried to get my sister's girlfriend to check it out, but she didn't like that they weren't dating by the end of the 1st volume... 😅)

Informative. I appreciate hearing such a learned exploration of such a serious topic. I'm barely even kidding.

I just watched the video. I was planning on buying season 1 of Miss Kobayashi Dragon Maid on DVD. I watched episode 1 ( both the sub and dub) on RUclips and like both versions and now after watching this video will the dub all the way thru. I'm glad I was recommended this video.

No aunt Sarah, gosh, Helping facilitate work within company’s bad behavior, Only leads to more abuse, it's something that ends up happening within any system that isn't diligent against it, and helps exacerbate it, we see multiple instances of people who, despite working within the system, no longer caring what happens to them, change comes when apathy can no longer subjugate or adapt, only then action is taken.

Thankfully when i googled boob bag i found this video. Thanks sarah, this really stopped me wondering. I assumed it was a japanese term for a particular way of patterning fabric. Having watched your video i would say the best term in english would be skin tight. And i agree with you, boob bag is not an appealing term at all which is why it bothered me enough to looking into it. Anyway, i can now put it to bed & not boggle my mind with it anymore. I'll simple retranslated it as 'skin tight top'...or something similarly bland. Thanks again sarah.

Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Kakugo-shiro.

Boulder Holder? Then again depending on the style of shirt. I have some spaghetti strap tops that fit like this. Otherwise is would have to be customized to fit like that lol

I swear that I heard Comic Book artist describe some superhero outfits of having boob-socks for characters such as Rouge.

This just proves that language is like a living thing. It grows and evolves. It branches and forms different families. Example: ENGLISH. You have: British English, Australian English, American English (Southern, West Coast Valley Girl, East Coast New Englander, New Yorker, Mid West Country, Red Neck), etc etc etc. Each of them has a shared base but each also has developed special phrases, and meanings for those phrases or alternate meanings for the same words specific to them.

Localization is by far superior. Take Spanish for example. The way you would say "bad ass" in Spanish is not remotely similar to the English words. Using the literal words would be like saying "not good but" in Spanish if you did say "a La madre" (to your mother) its understood in the culture you mean "bad ass"-really cool -.

Hahaha that made me laugh so much😂.. but i do agree. The hell did they do to their arms and face😂 The only thing i love about Crystal is the songs and the little bits of info we got on the villains (Mamoru's 4 knights).. other than its garbage😂 I showed to my daughter and she like the original way more.. I dont know for which age they decided that their animation was made for but it didnt work😂

"I'm starting to think this is all just outrage for the sake of outrage." I think you may be on to something there. In all seriousness, I'm glad I came across this video. It's refreshing to see someone speak from an intellectual middle position on this controversy that I've only heard mutterings from both sides about. I think I've decided that for now, my enjoyment of anime is not ruined by a few questionable translations, and I have extra motivation to also continue learning Japanese myself, after hearing (and being impressed by) your knowledge of it. So thank you for this. I think it would do everyone on both sides some good to see this video. Edit: After seeing the end, I just wanted to add that my final takeaway on Marchi is that I don't think she did a bad job like people are making it out on her localization, but I do think she's done a pretty bad job of responding to the criticism. Your response is easily lightyears above anything she's said about the situation in both class, and productive education.

As soon as I saw the commercials, I got the joke and had a laugh, both the "rattatta" and "nanto!" references. I get the funni.

this is a great production! you deserve so many more views!

Damn, definitely want these mangas once in english as a bi woman wholesome yuri enjoyer

The fillers made the characters relatable and human. Alos there is a character develoment. The new version is way too rushed and kind of shallow.

Fantastic video - still incredibly (and depressingly) relevant as we are still having this argument 3 yrs later.

3:13 Me looking at the bags when mom came from shoping.

Oof. This is really changing my mind on a lot of things about translations, mostly towards the strictly literalist. All these translation examples lose so much of what makes the show great. I get that it's a hard job translating a show where the exact phrasing holds so much importance for both comedy and emotional content, but, yikes.

I’m a big fan of a French cartoon called “Wakfu”, I also studied some French and consider myself good with how languages work. It’s a shared opinion by the fans of the show that the English dub is absolute garbage, for a few different reasons. But when I was rewatching it again with subtitles on Netflix (in other words, the subs I was reading were the words spoken in the English dub) I realized how absurdly literal the script was. Almost every word was a direct translation and it absolutely RUINED the flow of the dialogue. As a writer myself I was actually really upset that the staff stayed so literal and didn’t take more creative liberties to make the story flow better. Being such a big language nerd I really enjoy this type of videos!

Sailor Moon will be remembered not because of Crystal, not even the manga, but the 90s Anime!! 👑 It's what made Sailor Moon iconic with humor, romance, character development and cool animation. This spoof song perfectly captured why Crystal sucks and why Classic is legendary 🙏🏻❤️💕💕

As an ace lesbian as well, man, the manga spoke to me on so many levels. I related to the both of them, who are also on the ace spectrum, i felt so represented and called off. I'm also a food lover, so i could relate even more, man, this is a literal masterpiece. I loved your video, hugs from Brazil!❤

The 2003 live action adaptation clears both of these

This is actually good knowledge for anyone who works in localization.

THIS IS GOLDD

I saw someone call 奴ら "buggers" and I like that translation, it's really a word americans would never use though

do we have any localization tools / AI tools which effectively translates English to Japanese and vice versa?

My friend recommended the manga to me without giving me too much information, and the more I read the more I got stuck with this huge beaming smile on my face (discounting when Kasuga had that tense phonecall with her asshole dad and I almost cried). I hadn't been expecting the ace rep, but also the in depth explanation of the ace spectrum, and it made me so freaking happy.

I don’t speak a word of Japanese and I loved this video. It gave me insight into the sub and dub translation process that I found interesting to learn.

Watching my dress up darling I got confused. But after watching this video im glad im not the only one who was confused about the boob bag.

What are your thoughts on the JelloApocalypse drama? I am dying to hear what an actual localizer thinks of what he did.

There are a number of comments discussing not being able to tell if the video is satire or not. I ended up watching the video all the way through until the very end and wanted to share my thoughts. First off i agree with literal translations due to the language barrier it would be near impossible. For example if the line in question was "These baked potatoes are good. Did you bake them yourself?" The translation might read as "baked potato yum. Yourself?" Which clearly would make no sense. And with lip syncing lines the line could end up being "Did you make these potatoes yourself? They're very good." Which in itself I don't see much of an issue with as it's portraying the same exact meaning just worded differently. Where I think many are finding issue is when the line goes from being about baked potatoes to something about a social or political nature. Which to be fair I get why people would be mad about it. As several translators have stated which I tend to agree with the best method someone can avoid that is learning the language themselves to remove the middle man. Personally for me I've never found too much of an issue with translations as for me I'll watch the sub then the dub so I'm getting two entirely different versions of the same show. In regards to censorship though i completely agree with you. I do feel that should be the primary focus of anime fans. That and calling a rice ball a donut because its been well over 25 years and I'm still a bit salty about that thank you very much.
