"Oh? You're approaching me? Instead of running away, you're coming right to me?"

"Oi, mate! I can't duff you up wittout getting a wee bit closer! Fink it fru, bruv!"

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

I'd legit watch that 🤣

[-] [email protected] 28 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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?

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

Them's FIGHTIN' words!!! 😡

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Well, the English dubs of Parts 1 and 2 already use accents, so what they did isn't too far off from what we got. (Though, as someone who doesn't live in Europe, I have no idea how accurate the accents are. I imagine, like usual, they weren't very accurate.)

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

[-] [email protected] 78 points 2 years ago

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

[-] [email protected] 32 points 2 years ago

I wanna see the Scottish manga translations.

[-] [email protected] 60 points 2 years ago

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

[-] [email protected] 19 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

The dub is English but voice actors are Australian, Scottish, Jamaican, Ugandan, and Indian.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

Hahahaha that would be amazing.

[-] [email protected] 18 points 2 years 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.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

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

'e's a right royal bellend init!

[-] [email protected] 50 points 2 years ago

This is not a travesty, this is hilarious

[-] [email protected] 45 points 2 years ago

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?

[-] [email protected] 18 points 2 years ago

Geography is not my strong suit.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 2 years ago

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

Is she talking about a git request?

[-] [email protected] 25 points 2 years 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.

[-] [email protected] 17 points 2 years ago

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

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago
[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 years 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.

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

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

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

[-] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

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!"
