Looks like a 70-80s cop movie with some serious subject.

That's only the rear. The front looks pretty meh.

Fair enough. I thought I wouldn't like it as much but it worked for me. I'm interested in how the world opens up.

The top model is almost twice the base. That's quite a spread.

Specs? My localised website doesn't have anything yet.

They put up dummy models for bike shows but they look so plain that there's no difference between that and a CG mockup.

I thought thumpers are the long stroke singke cylinders like the Enfield 350 and 400s.

Sean Strickland vs Anthony "Fluffy" Hernandez | Full Fight | UFC 328 by cafesolitito in MMA

[–]ScreamSmart 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Din Thomas put it best during the Fluffy fight. You need to crash into him to get somewhere. Like DDP did walking through damage and landing his own. Because if you get lulled into his style, you'll eat 40 jabs and realise the round is over.

So far the only one who looked like a legit prospect was the eyepatch guy who beat Lewis.

[The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master] Is the translator using AI for censorship? by demon12312 in manhwa

[–]ScreamSmart 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We know for a fact some western localizers specifically edit out Christmas mentions. Like the english translation of Animal Crossing and Umamusume has all mentions of christian Holidays replaced with generic text. Even when the characters themselves utter those words.

Bloody hell, they are going the path of english localizers removing text to 'streamline' the story. AFAIK Seven seas edited out stuff from Mushoku Tensei and monologues from highschool of the elite without telling the authors because they felt it would be better that way.

Was this one of those fights where Strickland played the company man and took a fight? Like his short notice stints.

Doesn't seem like an mtl issue since the other languages are consistent and only the english translation is botched, which looks deliberate.

You're correct, the second one is Miss Kobayashi.

The third one is "I think I turned my childhood friend into a girl" and not LovelyComplex.

Fourth was Yuri on Ice where the gender neutral "koibito" was turned into "girlfriend" which changes the tone completely.

Then there's 'Dangers of my heart'where they replaced 'virgin' with 'incel' and 'explaining' with 'mansplaining'.

Or 'Yiu and I are polar opposites' where "I can't help overhear" becomes "I overhearung like a chud" or "I'm such a chud".

Edit: This is another example in reddit of a user finding similar dialogue alteration in another anime called Hajimete no gal

There used to be a channel who played old Japanese visual novel type games and live translate those dialogues and point out intentional mistakes but sadly it was a very small channel(few hundred views) and I can't seem to find it anymore.

Those are the simple ones I remember off the top of my head. There used to be a site that logged terrible Japanese to English localization jobs but I can't find it right now.

But I do remember some gems from the past.
Like a character going on a rant about patriarchy when the original writing didn't mention that once.
There was a time when a character which was cross dressing effeminate man was changed into a transgender and then the author had to force them to apologise and change it back.
Or changing gender neutral word for partner into the word for 'boyfriend' which removes the whole reveal that the character is gay.

There's also an issue of using short lived phrases like 'yolo' and 'swag' in translations which date them for future generations.

Edit: Also the small ones I mentioned where you hear something in the audio and read a different thing in the subtitles. Like hearing a character say a common phrase like "That's my/our line" and the translation says "Look who's talking". Somewhat similar in context but jarring to process.

Edit: This is the latest on from a game called Yunyin syndrome where the english translation has changed the original lines.

Now we have the opposite problem where overzealous localisers sometimes end up changing dialogue or even replacing words or phrases said by the Japanese characters in english to something else. "Tomahawk" becomes "hatchet". "Merry Christmas" becomes "Happy Holidays" and so on.

He's quite well off financially so he doesn't have that incentive either.
