You've just made Jojo's Bizarre Adventure a work of comedy.

I'd legit watch that 🀣

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Jojo's is already a work of comedy, but take what it already is and now imagine Joseph and Jotaro with thick cockney accents, Avdol as Bob Marley, Polnareff gains +6000% "HON HON BAGUETTE" style and Kakyoin is a drunk Australian half-assing his lines

Edit: in this hypothetical dub where every character is a caricature of themselves, Hol Horse remains entirely unchanged from original

With a name like that, it's NOT a comedic work?

[–] QuandaleDingle 7 points 1 year ago

Them's FIGHTIN' words!!! 😑

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Well, the English dubs of Parts 1 and 2 already use accents, so what they did isn't too far off from what we got. (Though, as someone who doesn't live in Europe, I have no idea how accurate the accents are. I imagine, like usual, they weren't very accurate.)

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who didn't immediately think of this.

Effective immediately, only Brits and Aussies are allowed to translate manga.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 year ago

I wanna see the Scottish manga translations.

I really want to open up a dubbing studio that only hires people with strong regional accents so every anime can sound like xenoblade.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

The dub is English but voice actors are Australian, Scottish, Jamaican, Ugandan, and Indian.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Hahahaha that would be amazing.

[–] Clbull 16 points 1 year ago

I'd low-key watch their stuff, if they put love and care into the dubs and don't go into 4Kids level of censorship.

'e's a right royal bellend init!

[–] [email protected] 47 points 1 year ago

This is not a travesty, this is hilarious

[–] [email protected] 43 points 1 year ago (2 children)

To the contrary, I think people would be glad for a Bowbell translation, or a Liverpool translation, or a Yorkshire translation.

Also Memphis, Hollywood, Boston, Nashville, NYC.

Memphis and Nashville are like 200 miles apart. Why pick as your two southern cities places where the people sound so similar?

Geography is not my strong suit.

It's genuinely amazing how Americas can be so blazΓ© about what's like half the length of my entire country.

[–] TheGrandNagus 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Same reason Europeans can be so blazΓ© about ages of buildings or casually having a castle near where they live

Is she talking about a git request?

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago

'git' is british slang for a stupid person, and is what the git software is named after. linus torvalds joked that both linux and git are named after himself.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Fun fact: the closest English translation for 'ne' is 'innit?'

[–] Arielcorn 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Which ironically would be closer to "ayup"

There's this girl from Appalachia on instagram called Haesicks that does a lot of interesting appalachian Anime titles and such.

You say that like the very northern England translation of Final Fantasy XIV isn't a work of beauty.

They invented the English language, and they are the best at making it difficult to understand.

Recommend we get an ISO code for english that's clearly incompre...oh wait we have one already: en-uk

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Finally we can differentiate between the correct English and the weird English
