Hmm, well I'm further convinced that the subbers for Kuromukuro are just being crass and sexist for their own reasons, and not any "true to character" bullshit, e.g. when they translated "bitch" as "sluts".

In episode 12 they just translated "koibito" to "pussy". Koibito is just a generic term for boyfriend or girlfriend and has no specific sexual context whatsoever. Certainly zero justification to translate that to a specific term for female genitalia. This makes me question whether any of the subs which specifically put sexist slurs into that character's mouth actually have any textual justification whatsoever.

I don't speak or read Japanese, so I can't say for certain. But unless they also invented all of the other vulgarity in his dialogue and his nonverbal personality showcased on-screen is completely misleading, it might not all be a deliberate mistranslation. Certainly easy to believe that a particular sub group is shit, though, even if I haven't seen this particular expression of it before. *shrug*

If there was going to be a character in an anime who acts like a crude jackass, the "American soldier" archetype would be top on my list of suspects.

From reading this page, I've come to a conclusion.

Shinji, Cover yourself up, and get in the fucking Tank before you turn into a Witch.

Well, Kuromukuro doesn't actually have official subs at this point. It was picked up by Netflix, who are going to simulcast the show starting in July. So we're going with amateur subs at this point. The subber is gg. On gg's website, the team leader says he just turned 18. I'm calling "immature bullshit subs" here for sure.

Incidentally, I just decided to pick up GuP and the missus looks interested, so that'll be fun.

Some loanwords do mean different things in Japanese, he doesn't seem to be wrong. That was the archaic meaning of the word so it's not too surprising.
http://jisho.org/word/%E3%83%93%E3%83%83%E3%83%81

e: Japanese wikipedia also backs this up. Below the break it explains how the usage of the word differs in Japanese and English.
https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%93%E3%83%83%E3%83%81
Very roughly translated (I can't actually remember how this construction works):
Quote
When you describe someone with this word in Japanese it means:
- A woman who secretly has physical relationships with several men, or the kind of woman who gives that impression.
- A woman who will sleep with anyone for money or pleasure, or the kind of woman who gives that impression.

Suddenly all the 4chan meme images with "[something] my slut/bitch [something] [something]" make sense.

I should have just pushed through and kept watching KLK instead of complaining about Nui. The twist is still stupid and Nui is still really annoying, but in the end it's still Kill la Kill. At least I didn't spoil anything terribly important before returning to the series.

I would wager 70% of people who know Berserk only watched the old 90s anime, and thus for them the new show is a "sequel".

Don't watch the old anime, people, it's bad.

Hunter x Hunter is going on hiatus again.

A new Berserk anime?

The new one starts off post-Eclipse, IIRC.

It also uses that godawful CGI.
