So where is her other hand? Would I want to smell her finger?

This just gave me a reason to watch anime.

Pleasure myself with the fish? I wonder what was in his/her mind.
rethreadMar 3, 2011
The pleasure of feeling full, of course.

I don't get what's wrong with the ZnT. I see the Suzaku bit is wrong, but I suspect that's just a shoop, like the other Suzaku one.

Knowing that show it's probably real and intentional. Same for the no breasts gag.

The most ridiculous part is that many of these are accurate translations. o_O

Mass Naked Child Events are no laughing matter.
spreadtruthMar 3, 2011
And now, I'd like to present the following card to the people responsible for these translations:
"The Dignity of the Retarded"
It's a "permanent" card, apparently.
raddaMar 3, 2011
Some of these are /a/ troll mockups, some of them are just common Japanese phrases that sound weird in English ("He won't die even if you killed him").
Very few are subfails.

Isn't part of translation to convert the idioms also?
cizzymacMar 3, 2011
Certainly, but that's nearly as funny as keeping the literal translation. Welcome to the wacky world of fansubbing.
a0rt04Mar 3, 2011
No, not really. Translating idioms across culture is tricky, so usually what happens is that it gets a direct translation, or even no translation, and the fansub group flashes a page full of explanatory text to give context. Most anime fansub viewers have seen enough of these to understand most idioms quickly and without the need for these explanations, and would be put off by an Americanization of an idiom which they already understand.

these fails is win!

I thought lessons were learned from "All Your Base Are Belong To Us."
j_carcinogenMar 3, 2011
Most of these are fan subtitles not official ones.
reaper527Mar 7, 2011
hence the article title "when fan subtitles go horribly wrong".
your comment has just as much fail as those translations
