Eh, I just want accurate translations. No reason why the "official" has worst translations than fansubs, and it makes no sense why a Japanese character is saying BRUH after every line in a series, also localization doesnt really excuse the stupid line changes that they make 99% of the time
This doesn't happen only in Haikyuu but in many of the mangas of the app.
And every southern accent I've in localisation is there instead of a Kansai dialect. Its like the go to.
Sure, but that's only one example. That friend I have post in here from time to time that translates, I had him take a crack at translating some of the dialogue in Samurai 8, since I'm a power levels guy, and I like having distinction.
When the hell was "Bruh" a word that is extremely American to the point of being unfitting? It sounds like the most logical way to translate the casual speak between members of a high-school sports team.
Yeah, that's just ambiguity common in the Japanese language, which translators just have to deal with through context clues. Any pro translator will tell you that.
How does SORRY MY BRUHS, or OH MY BRUHS sound fitting? Its dumb because its just added dialogue that doesnt even need to be there, its not in the fansubs or in the original Japanese, and its not like they rarely use it, they use it every time the character speaks
They also have that thing of Hashiras = Pillars and Pig assault with "Coming through".The one issue of censoring from Viz that sticks out for me is something from KnY:
Many fans tend to ignore/forget about it since Inosuke hasn't said anything this disgusting since then.
I can see why Viz changed it, especially if it was to maintain a certain rating, but it just comes across as absolving the character (and Gotouge) of a beyond-disgusting line. Hey, Gotouge, maybe don't have a character use a gross, gendered threat of violence toward one of the few female characters in the cast. They could've easily had him say, "I'll tear your arms off!", "I'll bash your skull in!", etc., which Viz could've gone with as well to avoid the disgusting line, but not have something so generic as "mess you up".
Rant over.
Does Viz's rating system factor dialogue like that? I know that any R-rated profanities will generally only be in the M rated titles, but I don't know if that kind of dialogue effects the rating.The one issue of censoring from Viz that sticks out for me is something from KnY:

It's not the translators faults that that's considered casual speak for English-speakers. I'm quite certain your native tongue is no different.
It's the translator's fault to choose putting this terms when they don't have the necessity to do like we can see in the anime subs.
Would've possibly bumped it up to T+ (it's currently just T), but it does seem weird if that alone would cause an issue with the rating.
I mean even thought here on Brazil we don't have things, like "bruh" or the others "cringe" slangs, we still have our own story of adapting dialogues.
Didn't say anything about controversy. I've seen many just taken aback by it since he'd never done something like that (and hasn't since).
