should they? i mean subtitles tell when they mean to say but is not fully accurate. should subtitles like so they write what they really say in that order though i might get confusing but atleast then u can compare the words in the subtitle to the words they're saying.

The reason why the subtitles are a bit off is because the Japanese language does not translate directly into English. There are differences in grammar and vocabulary. It's the same with any other foreign language.

(Some) There are more than 1 subtitled animes from different people. None of them are 100% accurate. As lomg as it fits with what you see. yeah i agree... not ever japanese word has an english meaning ... actually the dubbed is less accurate  ...well it really depeonds who licensed itfor example.. in this anime (forgot title). This girl said in Japanese, "Aishiteru" which meant i love you and the subtitles translated it correct but the dubbed version put it as "I've always admired you"  (i can speak Japanese...not as well as i used to though.....)or when this girl said, a whole sentence (too lazy to put it into letters) about being "over my dead body" ...the dubbed version said, "for as long as you're dead".. kinda far... |
