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.

I agree with Taited_Euphoria and Jonathan -- Nothing can perfectly be translated. There are various meanings. I know when I read manga scanlations, people translate it and there would be a side note "I'm not sure what is meant by this" and it's true -- the only way you can perfectly understand something is to learn Japanese.
Also, for subtitles, hey subtitles are WAY better than actual dubbed anime! So I wouldn't be complaining. |
