Saber Marionette How do you say...?

well, I mostly try to name them in their original way, like in japanese all letters are prounaonced (hum, does that mine my nick would be ki-ai-ko-u ?) which would mean urs would be ba-ka-ma-tsu.

//Aldamel, prolly gonna learn japanese after summer...

 

and I try to pronouce the appropriate ones the 'correct' german way. where that doesn't apply personal preference kicks in and so we have:
Terra II
Gartland
Luchs
Tiger
Yumeji
Japoness
Goddel
Obiichi Soemon -kenobi bwahahaha!!
Maiden Circuit -or Mädchen Stromkreis (should be Mädchen Schaltkreis, but it isn't)
and, BakaMattSu

oh yeah, and Gerhard Faust. dang l's keep sneaking in everywhere

1) Terra II
2) Geltland
3) Luchs
4) Teagel
5) Yumeji
6) Japoness
7) Gettel
8) Obiichi Soemon
9) Otome Kairo
10) BakaMattSu

 

Well you brought it up, so.. you never responded with your choices. Out with them!

 

This is stupid, but hey:
the oo in Luchs is more like in crooks than in books or looks. Just seems a little shorter, with a tad of 'i' mixed in. Rather subtle. Like a cross between licks and looks. Not that I am trying to convert you, just stick with Lynx if you want. Nothing wrong with translating stuff

I like the double ss cause it makes the s (not z) pronunciation more obvious. At least I think it should be pronounced that way.

linguistics 330 was fun. Not that I learned too much

 

*raises her hand* In the official subs

1) Terra II
2) Gartlant
3) Luchs
4) Tiger (but it's pronounced Teagle)
5) Yumeji
6) Japoness
7) Goddel
8) Obiichi Soemon
9) Maiden Circuit
10) BakaMattSu (uh... was sadly edited from the subs?)

 

Ne, Matt, what scene would that be?

Oh and last time I didn't see question 11. The answer to that one is Gennai

 

((hehee I like this face. It looks like a little baby face))

O_______O;

So that's why there's a little continuity jump in Episode 12! They took out a huge battle scene with Matt wearing a purple bow, waving an anti-crab flag and singing "la marseillaise!"

Dude did anyone preserve this outtake? I wanna down load it!

Also, were you standing in as a stunt double for Hanagata? I know he says he did all his own stunts but well... people do talk.

 

well, the post about the official subs anwers a lot. If you look closely, you'll see that every one matches what I said my preferences were. Obviously this means that they listened to me when they made them. Or that I blindly let the official sub dictate my preferences. Or that great minds think alike Obviously, there mind is great, cause they did a sub not a dub, and as for me..

 

hmm... that's too bad, Matt. I would have loved to see the scene. Perhaps one of the actors saved a copy? I'd ask around.

*blinks* .... Turnip? Oh I don't know, stick a blond wig on a turnip and add a bow and it's not very noticible at 3000 feet above or below...

*pat pat's Otaru's back*

Actually, I think they did do a dub of SMJ. It's just (oddly) harder to find.

 

Well,no one asked for my opinion,but I'm giving it anyway (because I'm that kinda guy ).

1)Gotta go with Terra II (or,as I like to refer to it,Terra 2) on this one.

2)Gartlant

3)Definately Luchs. If fits better with the Gernman theme for Gartlant,and I got real freaked out by "Looks"

4)Tiger. Hell,that's my cat's name,how could it possibly be wrong?!

5)Yumeji - on the strength of the Japanese pronounciation alone...

6)Japoness - dunno why,but just one 's' sticks in my craw for some reason...

7)Goeddel - reminds me of Hermann Goering for some strange reason...

8)Obiichi Soemon - again,based on the Japanese pronounciation...

9)I waffle on this one. I could go for either Maiden Circuit or Otome Kairo. "Maiden" seems to me to be a more accurate translation of "Otome," and I'm not freaky enough to tolerate hybridization of terminology...

10)BakaMattSu,but it's your SN,and you can pronounce it however you want to...

11)Xi'an and yet,I can't give a solid reason why...

InuYasha - who spent 6 years studying Japanese and still isn't fluent. What is the world coming to?
