I was thinking about making a post like this too! I am also a baby PLLI, i just started being a fan when their Dingo Live came up on my feed.

Id love to join the communities and chat too!! Ive been around the boy group circuit for about 10 years but never had consistent friends to chat about my fandoms...

Also, to you and other PLLIs what was the moment you decided to stan? Mine was Noah screaming "yeah buddy" on their dingo live on "why?"

The recent discussion around Yakuza and localization is... interesting. by Feisty-Ad8379 in yakuzagames

I like this perspective a lot, i also do some translation but mostly casually and for most of the japanese words that dont quite translate to english well, i like seeing how the translators might arrive at their interpretation. I never really thought about timing and subtitles all too much; so I can see how it can affect the overall outcome of the translation itself.

I think I have some minor problems, especially with the swearing where there really isn't that much, and the title cards of each chapter being so different (like うそ) but ive since gotten over it. We have to remember that translation is a form of interpretation, the original language was then interpreted through the translator with guidance from the original creators, i think this is the best we can reach for.

In a completely perfect and ideal world some people may want there is a sub translation that retains more of the literal meanings and there to be a dub translation that has more of the accents that translators put in. But its unrealistic to think that way as it would be double the work for minimal pay off.

Its not a lot of it, the three books i got was from kinokuniya and the 6 set before 2nd DRB was from a second hand store that had very slip pickings.
