views on life, the universe and everything from watching Japanese Anime

I like the groups who put the translator notes in a seperate text file and not as part of the encode. This was done for the Blu-ray fansubs of Seitokai Yakuindomo, which had a significant number of sexual in-jokes and sexual inuendo unique to Japanese culture.

* Japan is awash rife with a multitude of special forces and intelligence agencies and/or vigilante groups with capabilities that exceed even those of the Self-Defense Forces and are not held in question primarily because they are part of the police or don't technically exist. These agencies will also invariably have genetically-engineered high school girls with twin Ingram machine pistols, blind swordsmen, and teenage hackers in their ranks.

*If you send your child to do tofu delivery tuns on a treacherous mountain pass using the family car from the age of thirteen during the wee hours of the morning, by the time they graduate high school they will have enough driving skill to rival that of professional race drivers.

Might want to avoid that sort of terminology for a little while.

No sacred cows.

One thing that I despise that happens with most fansubbed anime, heavy handed translation or not, is the constant barrage of words/symbols during the OPs. I know some people love to karaoke their songs, but that should be something left for youtube or something. Some shows have the kanji, romanji, AND THEN the English words.

Some OPs are really pretty and fun but I hate the fact that I have to go to youtube to see the raw version of it. Get the hell out of my intros scrolling, jumping, flashing words!

Which is extra cool when groups release "clean" OPs and EDs.

*Girls are either stereotypically "girly" or death machines.
*Every conceivably possible color of hair exists.
*Lolita is often every other girl
*A Katana is better than a Sword Cutlass
*The laws of physics do not seem to apply
*Whenever you can, ALWAYS bring the biggest revolver you can get. No exceptions; its the only way to be sure

Oops. Sorry, slip of the mental tongue combined with disregard to reading before I post.. I'll go fix that now.

Aw, come ON.

girls should always wear skirts short enough that every guy in the room gets a flash of panties everytime they bend over,walk up stairs or kick someone,but should always scream 'Ecchi' and hit said guys when it happens

all guys should carry tissues,the uses are manyfold,but primarily to stop the nosebleed they get from seeing the aforementioned panties

you can stop and break a machete with your teeth

people who live in a low gravity enviroment in space suffer no ill effects from it and can still survive hi g forces during combat

giant robots are not in fact giant bullet magnets,despite the fact that if you walked out onto a battlefield in something that big everyones going to shoot at you ,probably including your own side

*Two Sword Cutlasses, however, can even up the odds.
*When a military cyborg is escaping a hostage situation, and they have a choice of taking their would-be captors submachine gun or a fireplace poker, they choose the poker.
*The Hell Correspondence website is a ripoff. Get a Death Note instead.

Lord, I hate those.

I hate translations that retain Japanese words when it's not necessary. It just makes things harder.

Quoted for absolute truth.

Case in point:

It's been mentioned in other threads but...

All hero teams must consist of;

1. Clean cut leader character.
   
2. Dark brooding guy.
   
3. One woman/girl. No more, no less.
   
4. Short guy, kid genius or monkey. Chose one.
   
5. Fat guy. This is to provide hope to the rest of us.
   

*People over the age of 50 are no more than 3 feet tall and shriveled up, unless they are over 400 then they look teenagers again.

*Old people are 90% more likely to be 4 times as perverted as young people

*Japaneese Military and Police are incapablel of handling anything without the help of a group of highschool student these groups normally consist of 5 personel

*Child Labor laws do not exist, and infact are often hired for Military and special force operations.

*when someone says the planet will blow up in five minutes they mean 17 episodes later.

it is perfectly alright for a boy to attend an all girls school as long as he crossdresses,it will remain unnoticed by the school at large except for 4-5 girls who will instantly form a harem

Many Japanese girls look like they should be in grade school, even when they are in high school or college. Some even teach at high schools or colleges.

If you have a flat chest, prepare to be made fun of. If you have a large chest, prepare to be a pillow.

I think this is more a case of anime imitating real life.

Being punched in the face for comedic effect does not cause any long term damage

^ Not really, I'd say it's exaggerating at least. I don't know any flat-chested people who have a complex/are heavily teased about it.

I don't know about "heavily" teased, but I've seen plenty to believe there's a hierarchy among friends. Its usually just playful jabs. Never seen a complex about it though.

in Japan everyone hates conflict,but pacifists will commit genocide in an instant as long as the have passed out ,entered an altered state or become sufficiently pissed off.
they will then whine about it forever,"it wasn't ,me the machine did it !",but will still pilot/use whatever weapon it was that got them into this mess in the first place

Prepare to be surprised. Why do you reckon people get implants?

As a flat-chested girl, I assure that I have a complex about it like every flat-chested girl I've ever met, and we've all been teased because of it. :> Cruel world is cruel.

You people must live in a strange, A-cup hating world.

Not that big boobs aren't great, that is.

The Japanese people are very quiet and docile, and should not be taken out of their natural habitat. Should they be taken out of said habitat, they will almost immediately start showing hikikomori-like symptoms when they return.

Should that occur, however, don't worry, a girl will come cure them of their hikikomori ways.

There are no psychologists, psychiatrists, or other mental health professionals in Japan.

That shy, quiet girl with glasses that is sitting in the corner of the classroom probably has some sort of hidden superpowers.

Cooking is srs bizness.

Not sure if this one was posted.

If you find someone injured or lost you never contact the police. You bring them to your home and soon they will live in your house.

There are no animal shelters in Japan, so most pets are found in boxes on the street.

Despite real-life statistics indicating otherwise, there are at least ten times as many people under twenty in Japan than over.

running away from your debts is the accepted method,getting your kids to pay off your debts is simply the next level

This is because all breasts are the size of watermelons so they must exhibit natural anti-gravity so as to not sink to the core of the Earth under their own mass.

Both of these are alive and well in Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko, though it's the 39 year old aunt who is hotter than the sun.

Actually, it's kind of scary how many of these are present in the Spring anime line-up.
