Re: Have you ever been an "original language snob" when your fandom was translated?

[(Anonymous)]

That's a tough one, because while I do approve of accessibility even to the lowest common denominator, on the flip side I wish more people would be brave and seek out the original (or at least find some way to incorporate some commentary/translator notes) because some of Oda's puns are brilliant. He also makes skillful literary references.

idk it's harder with anime, especially when it's a line of spoken dialogue rather than an infobox where the translator can write a little note in the margin to let you know that there's some clever wordplay going on here. But, in a series where there are some godamnfucking weird-ass completely made-up names, I feel like it wouldn't be too odd to viewers to hear the fishmen talk about Gyoverly Hills, and just pass it off as a silly weird-ass name. They don't have to get the pun to still enjoy the series.
