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

I'd legit watch that 🀣

[–] skulblaka@kbin.social 28 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (2 children)

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?

[–] QuandaleDingle@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

Them's FIGHTIN' words!!! 😑

[–] Gestrid@lemmy.ca 4 points 11 months 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.

[–] rtxn@lemmy.world 77 points 11 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 32 points 11 months ago

I wanna see the Scottish manga translations.

[–] gmtom@lemmy.world 58 points 11 months ago (3 children)

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

[–] ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca 19 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

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

[–] UntouchedWagons@lemmy.ca 6 points 11 months ago

Hahahaha that would be amazing.

[–] Clbull@lemmy.world 18 points 11 months 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.

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 5 points 11 months ago

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

'e's a right royal bellend init!

This is not a travesty, this is hilarious

[–] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 43 points 11 months ago (3 children)

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?

[–] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 18 points 11 months ago

Geography is not my strong suit.

[–] flamingos@feddit.uk 13 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 4 points 11 months ago

In Britain, 200 miles is a long way.

In America, 200 years is a long time.

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

[–] Arielcorn@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)
[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 6 points 11 months ago

Which ironically would be closer to "ayup"

[–] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 17 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Is she talking about a git request?

[–] lseif@sopuli.xyz 25 points 11 months 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.

There's this girl from Appalachia on instagram called Haesicks that does a lot of interesting appalachian Anime titles and such.

[–] Blackmist@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago (2 children)

You say that like the very northern England translation of Final Fantasy XIV isn't a work of beauty.

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
