Happy birthday to a truly beautiful soul. We can all learn from your gentle fascination with the world.

Thanks for the kind words. Stuff like the 'You're dropped' line is hardest to get right in my opinion. I was also thinking how dropping someone can also mean to ditch them for someone else.

I know my use of vernacular and informal spelling can be glaring but it's not done for no reason. The informal 'sonovabitch' better matches both the tone and usage of the specific phrase being translated here. If these characters were more refined-sounding, I would write it out in full.

The strangest mistranslation though was how the police are now ticket inspectors. I don't even know how you reach that conclusion. The archaic term used could be misunderstood to mean customs officers if anything, and that would still make more sense than ticket inspectors.

My main issues with City on Fire's subs were tonal, but Peking Opera Blue's are an absolute mess. Whoever did them doesn't understand the language, some lines even having the exact opposite meaning, and they're also completely unfamiliar with the history so it's full of made-up references.

Won't ever be one of my favourite of the Peanuts specials, but this is undoubtedly a powerful image.

Local retailer put these up for pre-order today. Can't find any other info online hence the image size for ants.

This already blew up in China a while ago but it's only now getting serious since his remarks on the government and Covid, which are part of the recordings, has come to light. The screenwriter Qin Wen comes off worse imo but obviously you go for the bigger name.

Much more bizarre than the anime.

This came after the anime. And yes, lady with bike handlebars is from Goku Midnight Eye.

I will look into this.

Not sure, Jesse. I don't even know who owns it.

Can anybody confirm if the female demon was actually played by '80s adult film star Lisa B of Cecil Howard's Scoundrels? Some listings say yes but I'm not convinced.
