[The Rant Thread] What pisses you off

[Kenchiin]

GAINAX projects are quite dead honestly. They've stopped giving a damn a while now, especially after the split they went through after TTGL.

You can see that much just looking at their latest TV shows (the below are just opinions, clearly):
>Wish Upon the Pleiades: Moe and crap (and sooooo boring)
>Magica Wars: I didn't watch this but I heard terrible things. Any good opinion on it shall be welcomed.
>Stella Women's Academy: did anyone even watch this? More moe crap
>Medaka Box Season 1/2: Season one was terrible, they decided to adapt the most crappy part in a very boring way. Second season was great but by then they had lost too many viewers (and as a NisiOisiN fan) I was hurt. Final conclusion: another manga adapted into anime with no ending.


As a huge fan of Evangelion, FLCL and TTGL, it really saddens me.

WHY CAN'T ENGLISH TRANSLATIONS OF ANIME TITLES BE PROPERLY DONE?!


And because I must.
WHY DOES DUB EXIST?!

BECAUSE PEOPLE STILL THINK THAT, SINCE ANIME IS A CARTOON, IT MUST BE FOR CHILDREN, ERGO, THEY WATER THE TRANSLATIONS DOWN TO BE FOR CHILDREN.

Why wasn't Pucci's Stand named "Personal Jesus"? That would've been so sick! I'd get it if Stone Ocean came out before the song, or Araki must really not like Depeche Mode for some reason.

How in the hell did Dio survive part 1 to make it to part 3? If I remember the end of part 1 correctly, either Dio or his servant dude said there was only one coffin to escape in- and Johnathon's wife took it. Where did he get the second one at?

So, um, yeah, the Rant thread and the "What pisses you off" thread are basically the exact same thread. I've gone ahead and merged the two threads because of that.

I'm not a big fan of dubs but thanks to them I found out what anime was, so I think it's a good thing for kids.

I usually enjoy watching stuff in its original language whatever it is, so it applies for Japanese as well, as long as I have subs, clearly.

I'm not sure if it's still as prevalent in anime and manga, but the plot of 'guy gets accidentally placed in an all-girl's school' or vice versa, since from there you can pretty much pick out everything that's going to happen.
Also, conflicting translations in manga due to different companies taking over the process and so you end up with three different names for a single character.
