As an anecdote, friends of mine recently came back from china and showed me pictures of english translations for texts in public places (for example next to fire extinguishers or "emergency hammers" in public busses). It was absolutely hilarious. Lots of word-juggling. Oh and another one for you Toad: I recently purchased a Jet Boil and one bulletpoint on the back said "Drink spout in lid". The german translation was "Schnabeltasse mit".
It's everywhere what leads me to believe that it's either completely unchecked and/or the people in charge don't really speak the language. I mean, I'm often not grammatically correct, either, because I'm a bloody scrub when it comes to languages but for public/professional stuff you would kind of expect decent translations, wouldn't you?

I think that series has been selling pretty well in jp. The LNs

I think the super long titles are supposed to be part of the charm. Like with OreImo. Or this.

Or something like Yuusha ni Narenakatta Ore wa Shibushibu Shuushoku wo Ketsui Shimashita. They get really crazy sometimes lul

Better an obviously wrong title than a subtly wrong one (Place to Place, Attack on Titan).

"Due to the length of the title, consisting of 76 characters in Japanese and 210 when romanized, its name has been shortened to "Suzukake Nanchara" (鈴懸なんちゃら?, literally "Plane Tree Something")"
"Plane Tree Something" rofl

This week's episode of Rakugo was surprisingly entertaining for me. Bon is such a savage, lol. And so is Konatsu.

@Demi + Show Spoiler +That is kinda Yuki's problem, she is easily overshadowed.

I watched Magical Girl Raising Project at a friend's recommendation because he likes the LNs a lot. Man, that made me angry.

Just finished the 7th episode of Zetsuen no Tempest and I have no clue if I like or dislike this anime ;;
For one, the picture quality, animation and characters overall aren't too bad. + Show Spoiler +The MC's friend who's after his sister's killer is quite generic though. The Hamlet bits are nice I guess but it feels like the anime is trying to make itself look much deeper than it actually is. The story isn't terrible per se but just feels silly overall. So, the princess thought something will happen and made sure to have talisman all over the place? Tree of Genesis is actually more likely to destroy the world than Tree of Exodus? Then you have the black iron syndrome. ok, so they turn metallic. How does that even work? Given, maybe I'll get a more detailed answer to some of these but this part of the anime feels lacking so far. I don't really sympathize with any of the characters either so no connection there
The action is good to watch but it doesn't feel like it draws you in, you know. I felt more drawn in watching Black Lagoon and scryed compared to this.

You're about to reach the climax of the entire series (weird, huh, that the climax happens in the middle?), so you might as well keep watching.
For my part, I love the whole show.

Gintama. I don't think there will be one episode that doesn't deliver. Such greatness.

Have you read 621? DUUUUUUDE!!! YES!!
I love how each of the four are going to get their moment to shine. The Gintoki fight is probably the best one since Takasugi or his fight against King of the Night.
