Those baki subs aren't subs, it's just the dub script kek.

To be fair it is hard to translate japanese honorifics to english.
Like what do you translate Senpai as?

That is the stupidest thing.

>>160174999
The biggest barrier to good subs is subbers with a poor grasp of English even when its their native tongue.

>>160175501

Agreed.

>"Hai?" gets translated as "what?"

>>160175895
That's a perfectly legitimate translation, though.

Maybe if you're a sick fuck who gets his understanding of the world from porn. My daughter calls me daddy all the time. There is nothing sleazy about it.

Not everyone wants to sink thousands of hours into learning a foreign language just to watch cartoons.

>>160178776
But you'll certainly sink hours of your day watching anime instead of say, actually learning the language used so you no longer have to rely on subs conveying a fraction of the meaning.

>>160178478

>>160179178
Might try learning just so i can watch more than dubbed anime, i dont like reading when im trying to watch something.

Super Danganronpa 2.5's sub was so totally retarded it made me resize the video element to hide the subtitles

>>160178478
your daughter is whore

>>160178568
Yep. Perfectly valid in 99.9% of cases, because most of the time the character has just chosen one to use and continues using it, not particularly putting any more or less honorific into the term.

>>160178568
>Translating kyaku as customer
>Translating kyaku-san as customer
>Translating kyaku-sama as customer
>Translating okayku-san as customer
>Translating okyaku-sama as customer

If you want to get really pedantic then brother/sister naming conventions are just the beginning.

>>160181372
And then, by the tenth episode, right in the middle of the show, after a major change in the relationship, the character uses another honorific and you're fucked because you have used only big brother till now for your subs.

Never, ever translate honorifics, it will bite you in the ass later.

>>160178776
You do it for the porn games. The cartoons are just a side benefit.

>>160181494
And it doesn't matter because you can tell from the way the character says it, expression, etc the change in character.

Gotta start somewhere.

>>160182150
Just remember to stat picking up grammar sooner rather than later.

And you need to start working on conjugations or else you won't recognize most of the verbs and adjectives when they're used.

Quack

>>160189421
I actually take that a step further and think that there is no reason translating that at all in any show. In English speaking countries we call our brother and sister by their names, so why not just translate it like that? I also think honorifics should never be translated except in love stories where it typically indicates plot development, such as dropping the honorific and using the given name.

>>160175099
This one annoys me a lot. Is "papa" not a phrase in America or something?
