    Done Help with an expression

    売られたもんはきっちり買うぜ You buy exactly what was sold (?) I'm not sure how to interpret this expression. It comes out of nowhere during an argument. This is the whole line: 俺を犬だと抜かしたな、吠え面かくのはそっちの方だ I'm a dog? Sounds like you're the one who's whimpering 売られたもんはきっちり買うぜ You buy exactly what was...

    Done Help with classical Japanese passage

    Oh, this thread wasn't forgotten after all ;) Good to see you too, Mikkih! Btw, I found it in a manga, but I think this is actually a passage from Hakagure. No wonder it was so tough. Thanks for your help! Makes a lot more sense now.

    Done Help with classical Japanese passage

    I came across this untranslated passage in a samurai manga (Shigurui) and tried to read it. I kinda get the general idea, but I can't seem to grasp the flow of these sentences at all. Can anyone help me with the finer points? This is the text and my attempt at a translation: 若き士ども嗜むべきことあり。...

    Chapter Gantz 382 Discussion/383 [Final Chapter] Prediction Thread

    Well, freefalling from orbit would take at least a couple minutes. But even if space didn't kill them, slamming into the atmosphere at like 2000mph definitely would. Thank nonexistent god for gantz magic :D

    Question HOW does it take this long?

    I gotta respect Miura for refusing to work at the sweatshop pace that most mangaka are forced into, but seriously why even bother "serializing" if you're barely releasing 100 pages a year. I wish he'd do like Shirow and just release trades. It would be the same amount of work and way less...

    Done ちうて?

    This line from a manga is giving me trouble. This character is a samurai from Satsuma, so I'm guessing this is Kagoshima-ben. I don't know much about the dialect except what I got from google though :P Some dude complains about how he's eating and he says: 薩州でん肉ばよか食うど 戦場でんえのころ飯ちうて...

    Chapter Gantz 370 Discussion/371 Prediction Thread

    Re: Gantz 370 Spoiler Discussion Thread Thanks for the spoilers as always, GAT :super Btw, the Kannon statue face's full line is: "We will show you in a way that is easy to understand...that humans are no more than 'things'" Sounds delightfully ominous :o
