Grassy Knowles posted:He intended on quitting multiple times in that time period Actually that quote is fake. The images are from the documentary 'The Kingdom of Dreams and Madness', which explores Ghibli as they were developing The Wind Rises and The Tale of Princess Kaguya. However he never says that (and I should know, I was waiting for him to say it), he more talks poo poo about the industry and his crippling loneliness than he does about anime itself. Good doc though.

Yeah. It's a parody of a slippery-slope type situation. Sometimes, when fan-translating from Japanese, you run into weird road blocks that can't simply be translated into english. For example, Japan has an unusual cultural hierarchy that demonstrates itself in weird ways. For example, in high school there's the cultural idea of 'Senpai', a kid from a grade higher than you. For some weird reason, you're considered more valid as a person if these 'Senpai' folk acknowledge your existence. Normal people would either be unaware of the trope, or if they were, consider it dumb. But nerdlingers are not normal people. They absorb this knowledge, and to validate their existence needs the world to acknowledge it. Some of these people end up learning Japanese, and use this knowledge to translate their favorite anime. And the Senpai is such an all important concept, one that Japanese high schools practically rotate around. How could you not inform these baka gaijin of this cultural institution, one that the modern nation of Nippon is built around. So in your subtitles, you leave the title unchanged, and add a note explaining the concept. ... Instead of just altering the dialogue to state that the protagonist wants to impress the older kids. Point being, these dorks will put a note to explain any concept that can't be easily translatable. Sometimes it's food, or locations, or deities, or cultural institutions or trends unfamiliar to the western world. Sometimes it's words like senpai, which could be translated with a bit of exposition, but that requires creativity and understanding intention (rather than marveling at surface level style). This can be taken to extremes, where a fan-translator will refuse to translate a pet word because it holds "so much meaning" that the english language couldn't possibly convey in as few words. The image is imagining that scenario taken to literal extremes, where translators put so much importance on the fan-translation aesthetic that they make unnecessary work for both themselves and the viewer. If you would like to know more about Senpai's, consult the literature in your local libraries.

Neddy Seagoon posted:Oh it's not just fan-translations. I've seen one or two shows where the professional translators have done it too. Oh god. Well, goes to show that I stopped watching anime in High School, when (aside from the big cartoon network series) most people got anime through torrented fansubs.

This is why I only camp near beaches. That way, I always have my three seashells.
