I even miss the cultural jokes that existed in the early Pokemon anime.
Now they replace that culture with.....
Nothing.
More pokemon I guess.
kinda miss when anime was ,like... REALLY unapologetically Japanese...
#anime#i dont know...#something felt different when Takeshi Shudo wasnt given creative control anymore#i miss the original concept of the world being high tech but scrappy#and a lot of bon dances#festivals#and untranslatable puns#the new stuff is just squeaky clean#although i wish zetsubou sensei took off more#that anime is so unapologetically japanese and it wont slow down or wait for you

// Minthara's "it was a beautiful webbing" pun is translated in spanish as "it was a beautiful wedding [...] the spouses [...] had hundreds of eyes on them"

I actually wrote something about sifloop but I don't know where to share it anymore...
#it's not in english and the usual platform I use is getting progressively STUPID#translating is an option but half the charm will disappear because of untranslatable puns#and i made such a pun that is so funny if you understand original phrase#a very self-deprecating and projecting one too#but the rest of the work is mostly tender and tragic#and i no longer can post it#wthhhhhh#this is devastating im out#fifty musings

#context : this is untranslateable pun in indonesian.#posts that are comprehensible only to me#and maybe the five people who watch gilang's channel religiously

Hi, do you know why Dr Ulatane from the XY card game manga was named "Hiroshi" ? Is it a pun or something like that ?
yes! it's a pun on 博士 (hakase, aka doctor, the job title that's translated as "professor" in english versions of pokémon) because 博 can also be read "hiro" and 士 can also be read "shi." hence, hiroshi!
(fun fact, this pun is also present in yakuza kiwami with one of the kids from the mesuking storyline, except there's really no way to get that there's even a pun in the english version unless you're knowledgeable about japanese to begin with)
#la réponse d#not blaming the kiwami translators at all i'm sure they were aware of the pun but it's basically untranslatable anyway so#as with other untranslatable things they just ignored it completely which is fair

guide on how to distinguish between two brothers! (translation) ⬇️
Shamrock
-He washes. -Latent gay. -Refined nose (did he have rhinoplasty?) -Big wardrobe (compensates?) -He plucks his eyebrows. -He's on a diet.
Shanks
-It will devour a tree if add salt. -*An untranslatable pun about a big nose* -The soap on his ship ran out 20 years ago. -"Buggy is my boyfriend, but he doesn't know yet"

#OP's opponent has made the classic blunder of putting all their pieces on an unpurchased square #if OP has any sheep or lumber they can build a hotel on d5 and black'll be bankrupt within three turns #but yeah if they don't have sheep or lumber then the sicilian defense is probably their best bet #chess tags by @sufficientlylargen (on an earlier version of this post)

Hey guys, my opponent just fused their entire side of the board into a gestalt entity, which is currently dissecting and calcifying my pieces such that they fit into its twisted vision of an eternal, perfect state of the universe. What's the best counter in this situation?
#Chess#*chuckling*#Just as I was reading this post the first time someone posted a pun about chess in my autism WhatsApp group#(pun in French so sadly untranslatable)#OP have you tried white vinegar I heard it's good against calcification

Hyehehes be like
The literal translation of the proverb in audio is "time for business, hour for fun", but I tried to adapt the words to English
In general, this is an untranslatable pun and the word "потехе" (potehe) ends in "he" and therefore develops into a Hyehehe's laugh :_)

I almost cried from all the warm, supportive words you wrote under the first Shadow House post ;v;
Seriously guys, you are the best!!! Thank you sm 💕💖
Here comes the second batch of art and concepts that need to be conveyed. Bon appetit :3

(Sorry, the pun here is untranslatable. Luz says "it seems like the rain has stopped", and Phil responses: "then snow is prose". The joke is that the variation of the word "stop" used in this context sounds like "poem" in russian. So Luz really says: "it seems like rain is poem", and Philip simply made the following logical conclusion: "then snow is prose")
