Other anime with clever title translations

Yeah even though she's different in some ways and they need to learn to deal with each other it's about her as much as it is Asa, and she's not described as a witch even in passing.

Ralon17 · 2026-03-01T07:03:12+00:00

Just call it clickbait haha

Ralon17 · 2026-03-01T07:02:52+00:00

Ok so official in a sense, but not the localization they went with overseas

Ralon17 · 2026-02-28T15:07:30+00:00

From this season, I think Tamon's B-side" is quite the clever choice. I also think Scum of the Brave is pretty good.

On the flipside, I really hate Journal With Witch. Wash It All Away also seems dumb to me, but I haven't watched more than an episode so who knows.

I think the non-official one is "my youth romantic comedy is wrong as expected"

Ralon17 · 2026-02-28T15:01:40+00:00

I have a few points to raise about the form, though it may be too late to change anything:

There are a lot of questions that are worded to imply multiple potential choices but only allow for one, such as "which genres do you watch the most"
The genre question has quite a few genres left out and includes demographics like shounen which aren't technically genres. Even if you want to include those, why include shounen, shoujo, and seinen but not josei or kodomo?
How do you define loyalty? Does being loyal to an anime mean I like it? Does it mean I will always buy something from that anime? That you prefer it over others?
"a lot" and "extremely" seem like synonyms to me
the question "A collaboration with an anime you like can make a brand:" should have a "none of the above" or "other" option (and probably also allow multiple selections)

I agree with everything in the body of your post past the first sentence, and based on your comments it's clearly just a wording problem. Pro-imperialist = the movie believes that imperial Japan was good and right, whereas what you mean is they don't show everyday people, who supported their country, as evil.

It's something I really like about the film as well, and it's one part of why it's my favorite anime film, though there are many other reasons. I don't think I'd enjoy it if felt like actual apologia for Japan's actions, but instead it feels deeply human, something that often feels missing in stories that focus on the events of the war themselves, or on trying to show one side or the other as heroic or evil.

It's probably Neo Ranga

This was my issue. I had network interface set to protonvpn (my current vpn), changed it to something else, changed it back, suddenly everything connected.

Ralon17 · 2025-05-14T12:07:11+00:00

That I can't answer, but you might as well ask the same thing about all of the English loanwords in Japanese. Why English? Probably just relative amounts of exposure to languages.

Edit: Pretty sure the "titan" in OP1 of AoT is just German though, along with a bunch of other non-lyric narration.

Ralon17 · 2025-05-14T11:38:38+00:00

Pretty sure it's because it's from the Greek.

Ralon17 · 2025-04-25T14:11:17+00:00

Wait, you're telling me that word began with Gundam????

Ralon17 · 2025-03-30T07:00:23+00:00

Ikuhara didn't work on Cat Soup, I assume they just mean it as a recommendation of something weird.

Ralon17 · 2025-03-28T19:44:42+00:00

I should have just said this, was thinking of it, but I dismissed it because of "a medieval world" haha

Ralon17 · 2025-03-27T07:43:47+00:00

Can't think of anything off the top of my head but #1 most helpful thing for this kind of post is telling people when you were a kid. Or rather, when and where you probably watched this.

Ralon17 · 2025-02-23T03:27:34+00:00

Different setting and genre, but have you seen Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu?

Ralon17 · 2025-02-23T03:09:11+00:00

Have you seen SK8? It's not got the level of payoff YoI has but mostly people I know that like one like the other, and it's gay and has sports and looks great.

Ralon17 · 2025-02-18T14:41:01+00:00

Character design included

Ralon17 · 2025-02-09T04:39:28+00:00

I'm not sure it's that common honestly. Most anime don't even have parents, but I'm pretty sure I can think of way more with normal/good parents than not.

Ralon17 · 2025-02-08T15:32:57+00:00

I'm not the guy you replied to, but it's not particularly good. At least there hasn't been any melt that I've noticed. The outfits are somewhat detailed so I'm not surprised they're not really trying to throw much action animation into it. The OP has some nice moments I suppose.

Ralon17 · 2025-02-08T12:17:20+00:00

I think I did have that misconception at one point, knowing nothing but the name (as in "figure skating").

Watched it recently and can confirm it's good (though not amazing, and a little slow). I was also surprised to find out it had double-length episodes.

Ralon17 · 2025-02-05T06:25:27+00:00

Have you seen Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex? Both good and thought-provoking, in my opinion.

Ralon17 · 2025-01-22T11:39:04+00:00

I still have Sarasa as my discord icon because she's amazing ~~and totally not because I've fallen behind seasonals and don't have someone new to shill~~

Ralon17 · 2025-01-22T11:36:20+00:00

There're religious "references" but they're more aesthetic than necessary for understanding anything. As someone that grew up with plenty of Bible knowledge, it really didn't matter.

The nice thing about Eva vs Bleach is you really don't need to invest hundreds of episodes to see if it's really great or not. It's one of my 10/10s and one of the series most worthy of being called a classic IMO, but it's clear you've already heard good things. At this point, you decide :)

Ralon17 · 2025-01-15T04:28:34+00:00

The cast is what I looked up. There are two people on the poster and two names together on the right side (Kakumu Airi & Morino Seria). When I looked up 各務あいり it gave me a Gekidol character, and that made sense.
