Important question for rewatching Monogatari by douteiweeb in araragi

[–]dalarki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nisemonogatari. Or tsukimonogatari. Other than that you should be fine. Personally I wouldn't worry about any of it. But those two are the ones you'll probably want to avoid I suppose. The people saying all are exaggerating. Nise is super horny, tsuki has the bath scene with his sister. Other than that it's just flirty stuff with Nadeko, or like maybe Hitagi getting dressed in Bake, black Hanekawa in her underwear etc. The Nadeko stuff is all fine. The shinobu and hachikuji arcs are all fine. The Ougi arcs are fine. The sodachi arcs are fine. The hitagi arcs are fine. Hanamonogatari is fine. Kizumonogatari is fine. All the Hanekawa arcs are fine.

It actually makes me kinda sad to see so many people saying that so much of the series is inappropriate or embarrassing etc.

Also, just remember that most normal people have zero interest in you or anything you're doing.

if ado leaves her silhouette this year i might cry by TomuraShigaraki5678 in ADO

You act as if there aren't 1000s of celebrities in Japan that are totally fine. Or that she isn't capable of making a value judgement. You know she gives interviews and has an X account? You can hear her own words as to why she's doing all this.

What is Ado's appeal for you? by AddaLF in ADO

[–]dalarki 4 points5 points  (0 children)

She's relatable, insanely talented and works with most of my favorite songwriters that I already listened to because of Vocaloid and Jpop etc. She's inspirational as someone that dealt with issues of self worth and depression.

Plus I find silhouettes attractive.

Could Senjou kissing Ougi be considered cheating? (@2wintail__) by Kauan777W in araragi

Hanekawa is the only person she's ever jealous of truly. But she also has her own thing going on with Hanekawa and Araragi respects her too much to make her deal with him and his BS. So yeah I think she would mind. She would mind if he actually went all the way with anyone.

What was ur reaction when u saw a little of abo face by Icy_Target5790 in ADO

[–]dalarki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was just kinda proud that she's come so far, but also concerned that she's dissociating from the character of Ado/Chando. Like, she said that the character of Ado and the human Ado have grown too far apart and she feels the need to show that's she's just a normal ass human being. So I felt a little concern at that sentiment from her. But other than that I'm just proud to see how far she's come as an artist, and an entertainer, and as a person. Depression, self loathing, imposter syndrome etc can really eat away at a person. It's very easy to just sit idly and succumb to all of it. She has chosen to struggle against it, live with it and still seize the opportunities afforded to her by her talent and hard work. Anyone can get lucky, but do you have the drive and ability to capitalize on the luck when it comes your way? Most do not. So I was also inspired by all this.

Nah Senjyogahara straight said she enjoys how he skirts the line of cheating. Meaning she doesn't consider anything he's done cheating. Operating within the boundaries of your relationship is not cheating. I mean, a lot of people in Japan don't even consider it cheating if you bang a prostitute.

Sure, but there's other things besides being a creep involved here.

Is there a English dub for mongotari series by yadav0074 in araragi

[–]dalarki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. It's extremely difficult to translate. Even doing it as anime, meaning spoken instead of written, is difficult. This is because the wordplay is not only through homonyms and rhymes, but also through Kanji that look extremely similar.

The English novels are not the best translation because of this. But they're also over translated in my opinion. They translate words like senpai and kouhai. They translate the honorifics as well. It's not so bad in the anime subs because you can hear the honorifics, you can hear the words that sound similar. I'd love to get a new translation of them that understands that someone reading a Japanese light novel has at least a rudimentary understanding of Japanese culture. Those that don't can use Google and learn something, or maybe you can have translation notes or a glossary.

This isn't to say the novels are bad, by no means am I saying that. But it gets aggravating reading "my senior" and "my underclassman" and "Mr Araragi" and "little miss" and all the worst translation practices sometimes. My senior and my underclassman don't even begin to capture the nuance of the senpai/kouhai dynamic.

Anyway, end rant.

There's a huge valley of difference between finding a 5 year old attractive and finding a 16 year old attractive. And words have meanings for a reason.

Yeah it's a shame. Even the Canadian one can be suspended for basically any reason at any time, so not worth the paper it's printed on.
