| Yeah, the Dragon Ball manga was released in Norway today. And I gotta say, that's the the worst translation I've ever seen. It's translated from german, so we got their names for the characters Goku: Son-Goku Kame Sennin/Muten Roshi: Turtle Lord/Kame-Sennin Yamucha: Yamchu Puaru: Pool Gyuumaou: Ox Devil Nyoibou: Staff Kinto Un: Jindujun Janken Punch: Ching Chang Chung/Rock Scissors Paper RougaFuuFuuKen: Wolf Technique (Oolong, Bulma and the Hoipoi Capsules kept their original names) That's not the problem though. The dialouge is. Every single character sounds like the offspring of some lame 14-year old and Ned Flanders, they way they go Gosh darn it, Diddely dang and whatever it is they say. (yet they let Bulma say "tits" in chapter 2) And let's not forget Goku's "moron-stupid" (or whatever. It's not an expression people use) after the Pterodactyl flies off with Bulma at the end of chapter 1. Really, everyone use some kind of mix between the "hip" language 14-year olds use, and stupid expressions used by 50-year old women. The characters either speak hip street-language (IE not complete sentences), or they talk like people did 100 years ago. The sentence structure is crap as well. The original sound effects were, of course, painted over and redrawn, but it looks like some lazy 10-year old did it. When Goku kicks Yamucha in the face, there's a gigantic white outline (we're talking 0.5 cm here) around the shittily drawn sound effect that covers part of Goku's hair. (Yet they left in some japanese next to Yamucha when he first appears) The scene were Bulma shows Kame Sennin her panties was destroyed as well. They doubled the size of the image, probably to draw the sound effect, and forgot to shrink it again, so we only see the top part of it. And no, it wasn't done to censor Bulma's ass, since they didn't do anything about the Bulma in shower-scene later. I have no idea how they managed to ruin everything like this, especcially since the danish version has the characters talk like normal people, the sound effects look good, and they didn't screw up any pictures. Yeah, it's crap. Then again, the dub of movie 2 and 3 were crap as well. The translators are probably DB-hating assholes. Oh yeah, and the same company releases "Manga Mania" (pretty much the same as your Shonen Jump), which consists of Love Hina, GTO, Blade of the Immortal and Chobits (as well as a crappy series called Get on Gatapishi-car, but noone cares about that). And they are translated well. |

Originally posted by JaCory Oh my God, did you just say that Dragonball Z and GT are better than the original? I mean they are just so fuckin' repetitive, bland and STUPID!! Also, they completely butchered the music for both of them. Remember the "original" song Rock the Dragon? And what the hell is that crappy ass opening they made for GT? The rap? |

| I have the whole manga, in swedish. My aunt work at bonnies, which gives out the books, so I get them for free  Would never pay for them though, but they're somewhat nice. It sure feels fun to read manga at your own language. Although most of the names are lame translations. |

DB was my first manga ever, everyone started small  The German anime version sucks even more than the original one. Although I really got never fond of the anime: After two episodes I never switched again to it. I would rather watch more exotic series; there are far better animes which have real stories than endless battles: Like in Rurouni Kenshin, Houshin Engi or others for example (edited by Gandalf The Grey on 03-28-04 04:39 PM) |
