So you get the Pokémon dub, the sailor moon dub, card-fucking-captors, because that's the assumption on how you sell japanese stuff to Americans - make it American. Games were part of this too. The Working Designs Saturday-morning-cartoon loc style was a part of this thinking.

In the early days of JP-EN loc, the perception, rightly or wrongly, was that US audiences - and by extension, all EN audiences - would violently reject anything that was too new or unfamiliar to them. My personal theory is that this is a consequence of the early dubs of anime...
A lot of anti-loc people don't want to hear this, but stock phrases like onegai-shimasu and yoroshiku are so ubiquitous in Japanese that any translation HAS to go past the words to the specific intent behind them in that specific moment. They simply must vary.
Deleted that post. No one is capable of controlling their online rage long enough to read literally the first reply explaining it wasn't real. Just wanted to catch a German, man.
So this tweet was a bit. Sorry to anyone who took it seriously in sympathy. I didn't catch the German I was after but a few white knights did take the bait so thanks for that lads. Japan is cool and my life is dope don't worry✌️

One of the best to ever do it and one of very few who believed - like myself - that it was better to engage actively with our audiences. We exchanged words briefly a few times here and i always came away feeling like I learned something. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.
There's a German guy on here who WILL NOT miss an opportunity to
A) Tell everyone how great his personal Japan life is
&
B) diligently dismiss/interrogate any and all negative comments about Japan.
I'm honestly tempted to try summon him.

Japanese voice actors, especially in anime, do this little exhalation at the end of most sentences. In Japanese you barely notice it unless you're looking for it. A big obstacle casting EN actors here is habits like that. It sounds bizarre in English.
I haven't played OoT so no idea about its quality but it's good to finally see the onus for EN vo quality finally falling where it belongs. EN actors have improved massively over the years, directors are still largely stuck in 1999.
Re America; idc if you have right leaning or left leaning views but at the end of the day if your politics is based on hurting people rather than helping people, that's got a clock, and it looks like - for now at least - that clock ran out.
