don't stop 'til sunrise

bakwaaas:

Maturity is realising that other people are not mind readers, even those who love you. It’s on you to reach out, talk about how you feel, and to explain yourself. ​Everybody is busy living their own lives and is caught up in their own issues & problems, amidst all that you can’t expect them to magically be in tune with your every need and emotion. Communicate.

This is literally why I started the whole fanfic thing: to repair the injury of stupid story choices in shows I love.

Dub = The spoken Japanese translated script.
Sub = The written Japanese translated subtitles.

I found these to be really interesting and fascinating, so I thought I’d share. The Japanese voice acting was all really top notch too! 

Adora and Catra: In the dub they both say 愛してる (aishiteru). This is a very deep, powerful, and direct way to express love in Japanese. 

In the subtitles have Catra saying 君のことが好きなんだ。(kimi no koto ga suki nanda) “I like/love you.” Suki is less direct than aishiteru and can simply mean to like something or like someone, but not necessarily love. That being said, that particular phrase used is how love confessions tend to be written in anime and manga series. In the subtitles, after Adora asks “You like/love me?” (私を好きなの？), the subs read 私も大好きよ。(Watashi mo daisuki yo). “I really like/love you too.” 

The subtitles go for the more ambiguous, though also more common, way to say “I love you” in Japanese, but the dub makes it explicitly clear.

Seahawk to Mermista: Both the sub and dub have him using 愛してる (aishiteru) when he says that he loves her. The Japanese dub also has him saying 心から (kokoro kara) or “from the bottom of my heart.”

Scorpia to Perfuma: Okay, so, this one technically isn’t a confession per se, but I figured I’d put this in here. In the English Scorpia tells Perfuma that she looks great. In the Japanese they have her saying that she looks 元気 (genki), which means “lively, spirited, in good health.” The subs also make it clear that Scorpia is glad to see her like that 元気そうでよかった (genki sou de yokatta) (”I’m happy to see you looking so lively.”)

Glimmer and Bow: In the dub, Glimmer uses 愛してる (aishiteru). In the subtitles they use 大好き (daisuki) “really like/love” and then the second time the subtitles match the dub (愛してる). They have Bow, both in the sub and dub, “Me too.” In the dub says 俺もだよ。(Ore mo da yo.”) in the subtitles they write it as 僕もだよ. (Boku mo da yo.). 

They both mean the same thing, “ore” is just a very masculine and assertive way to say “I,” it is also very informal and common for guys to use when talking with friends. Meanwhile, “boku” is also a more masculine way to refer to oneself, though some women and girls might use it nowadays too. Its slightly more formal and humble, has a bit more of a gentleman-like feel to it.

Hardak to Entrapta: When it telling Horde Prime about the life that he created, he uses 自分 (jibun). which makes it very clear that he is talking about his life, and no one else’s. What he says in the dub translates to “I lived my own life.” In the dub he refers to Entrapta has his 仲間 (nakama). 

This is a term anyone familiar with the usual battle shonen anime has heard before. It usually gets translated to “friend” since those series are referring to the “circle of friends” meaning that it has, but the term “nakama” can actually encompass a lot of different types of bonds - those between club members, associates, comrades. 

The thing that makes them a “nakama” though and, not a 友達 (tomodachi) (friend), is that “nakama” support and work together with each other towards the same goal, purpose, or future. The subtitles have Hordak refer to Entrapta as a 友達 (tomodachi), but the dub goes with “nakama.” This really fits with them being lab partners. 

And in the dub, what Hordak says ends up translating to something like, “I lived my own life. And I…had a partner there [with me].” (それに仲間もいる).
