Fantastic sub format for anime.

I wonder why “great” and “sword” need to be Katakana

I know, but why? Not trying to be a hater but why not just use the native words?

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

Same reason some English people will use Japanese words? I don't know.

They transliterated it as English: “Great” being written like “Go Ra To” or something similar instead of using the Kanji 大 pronounced as “Dai”. Same with Sword, they wrote it like “Sa Do” or something, instead of 剣 pronounced as “Ken”.

Eyy I just watched Red Ranger, extremely enjoyable for how stupid it is. I bet I'd have loved power rangers if I watched it as a kid

Why is that not ASA? Or even ASSA.

[–] [email protected] 61 points 1 month ago

Because they knew exactly what they were doing, obviously.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 1 month ago

Because ASS.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago

Because substation alpha is SSA so they just reversed it.

Because it's funny.

When I took a geometry test in eighth grade, I got a point deducted because I wrote ASS instead of SSA (side-side-angle) when calculating angles and side lengths of a triangle. Still got the right answer though

Oh, wonderful, teachers who punish kids for being kids and/or making mistakes.

I’m so old and tired, this isn’t even funny anymore. I’ll have to explain to some junior engineer about ASS. Then management will learn about this term “ass”, and use it incorrectly at every possible opportunity. Then when no one can explain ASS, I end up being “the ass guy.”

HEY EVERYONE IT'S THE ASS GUY

I always chuckle when Jellyfin shows subtitles as "Full ASS".

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Never half ass two things. Full ass 1 thing
