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

I'd legit watch that 🀣

[–] skulblaka@kbin.social 28 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@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Merged, Core test was failing so deleted it :)

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

[–] rtxn@lemmy.world 78 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 32 points 1 year ago

I wanna see the Scottish manga translations.

[–] gmtom@lemmy.world 60 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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

[–] ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca 19 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.

[–] UntouchedWagons@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 year ago

Hahahaha that would be amazing.

[–] Clbull@lemmy.world 18 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.

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

... but it's just ProZD and Little Kuriboh.

[–] SonnyVabitch@lemmy.world 53 points 1 year ago

'e's a right royal bellend init!

[–] CCF_100@sh.itjust.works 50 points 1 year ago

This is not a travesty, this is hilarious

[–] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 45 points 1 year ago (3 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?

[–] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 18 points 1 year ago

Geography is not my strong suit.

[–] flamingos@feddit.uk 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

In Britain, 200 miles is a long way.

In America, 200 years is a long time.

Is she talking about a git request?

[–] lseif@sopuli.xyz 25 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.

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] Arielcorn@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 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.

[–] KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

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

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Blackmist@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

"Bugger and shite! Get away from me you bloody great bastard!"
