Now im thinking about the hentai someone translated into bogan australian slang lmao

It's def awkward and i dont think this is why they cared, but on that point, they DO have 3 character systems so specifying isnt AS weird as with the roman alphabet lmao (eg my name in Japanese isnt spelled with kanji, its spelled with katakana - and that fact is important)

I HATE THIS LMAO??????? but yeah that proves that they were just ADAMANTLY brutalising anything that isn't an english word. which to be fair is a valid approach, even if i don't like it when it makes stuff sound stupid lmao

yeah the readings (how you say it) is often different, but it's the same as how our alphabet is still roman even when we're speaking/using it for english, if that makes sense?

i would, but i can see a world where the translator was like "kanji is not an english word therefore i'm going to localise it as "chinese characters"?

I mean, kanji were taken from chinese, they are indeed chinese characters (but meanings/readings are different in japanese, although there can be similarities/overlap)

:DDDD

This is so funny bc @underdebate.bsky.social and me literally looked at each other after the flashback scene of him and al like. oh no the gap moe is a fatal headshot, we were ambivalent about him and now I'm gnawing on him like a bone 😫
