Context of the situation: Girl1 has her boyfriend see a movie with her other friend (girl2). Comic mistake has boyfriend and girl2 end up at a pink cinema, where girl2 says the following in reference to boyfriend's relationship with girl1: どこまでいってたんだ？ Ａか？ Ｂか？ それとも… Ｄだな、やっぱり。 As far as I can...

Re: Translation

Aizen goes as far to state his disappointment in the strength of his Espada. That leaves the option that Vasto Lordes were truly hyped by Soul Society as a whole and Aizen fell into the trap just as much as Hitsugaya did.

Re: Which COUNTRY that you LOVE to go and WHY?? I'd like to visit Turkey (read: Istanbul) for the history and the beautiful architecture. I also have a mild fascination with Latin America and would like to visit one of the numerous countries, preferably Chile or Costa Rica. It's a mix of...

Generally, it's what's more appropriate for the word itself in standard written Japanese. If it's a loan-word or foreign word, usually katakana, and occasionally roomaji is used (or combined). If it's native Japanese, kanji and hiragana are used. For example, the manga series Reborn! in...

If I'm not mistaken, no female hollow has a hole in them when in released state. Also, at least a few fracciones don't have a hollow hole in their released state. (Can't really tell in unreleased what with clothing and all.) Ignoring the latest anime episode, we know that it is likely that...

The data book states that nearly all the Espada are Vasto Lorde. I can't remember the wording exactly, but people banked on the general ambiguity of Japanese to read into the statement. However, from Hitsugaya's original description of the difference between an Adjuchas and a Vasto Lorde was...

Aizen's sword name is actually an expression. Kyoukasuigetsu can be read as "something seen but untouchable."

Just for humor, zan'nichi （斬日）. Slaying Moon becomes Slaying Sun.

Sort of a fan of large cats and dogs, but I think I'd want to be a leopard. Reasonably fast, can jump well, and a fairly diverse diet (of meat). Laze about all day, roam at night. No mane to deal with in the heat is a bonus too.

I think anyone who sees sexism in Naruto and doesn't in the ones you just listed are looking through a lopsided lens, but it seems like there's active effort to keep the discussion exclusively focused on Naruto, not explore a broader realm of implications that such an inclusion would imply...

I would doubt that people would trivialize seriously unacceptable behavior with minor trivialities. I could be wrong, but in my mind, that analogy that minor situations lessen the significance of serious situations would be like telling people that getting upset over "Get back in the kitchen"...

Assuming that Purearab318 isn't trolling and is from Iran, he could be reflecting his own cultural values onto the manga. From my experience (what little I have) studying feminism and sexism, Naruto clearly comes off as sexist. It isn't a bash towards the manga, and if anything, it should...

The only thing you really need for college unless otherwise specified is a word processor program. I've had friends in college who used laptops made 4-5+ years before they entered with just bare minimum functionality, but that's all they needed from it for their own studies. Beyond what your...

Re: Order of Surnames and Given Names It may not be outright censorship or something as strange as turning onigiri into donuts, but some of the stuff I've read online has a good infusion of the translator's own culture imbued in the translation. It helps make it sound right to the people...
