RIP Gigi, she looked like a sweetheart. She’s very lucky she had you to spend her life with ❤️

His little baby face is adorable!

That SIC might be the cutest thing I’ve ever seen, it looks so happy!

Yeah that’s pretty much it. Family members have titles like we use “mum” or “grandma”, everyone else gets name + maybe an honourific, pronouns are rare.

They put the pronouns in when they translate to English so it doesn’t sound like everyone’s talking in third person, but don’t do the reverse with sublings! Infuriating.

I don’t know if it’s that hot because it seems quite polarising, but the 4 episodes of FLCL I watched were the biggest waste of my time and I don’t understand why anyone likes it, let alone rates it as a GOAT.

The argument is done to death, but watching dubbed anime is not a crime. Dubs will never be perfect because of the need to translate concepts that don’t translate, and match lip flaps. But the trade off is being able to glance away from the screen and not completely lose track of a scene, and a more relaxed experience because you don’t have to read. If that’s the trade off you want to make, go for it, most dubs are pretty competent these days, it’s not like the days of the DBZ “big green” dub.

My hot take is that some dubs are “too accurate” these days. One that irks me is characters calling siblings “sis” or “bro” because that’s how it works in Japanese and they’re trying to be faithful. No-one talks like that in English, they use the sibling’s name. The dubs imo should take more liberties with the source material to make things feel more natural. They already do this with “itadakimasu” before character’s eat, that gets translated into all sorts of “saying grace” or “let’s eat” type phrases. Imagine translating that literally to “I humble receive [this food]” it’d be crazy. <\rant>.

Yeah this is basically my take. The fact that another poster didn’t really connect with it and gave it a 7/10 is kind of the point, I’ve liked some anime and given them a 7/10 so if you don’t like it and give it that score it’s gotta be objectively pretty good. If you do connect with it, it’s the complete package, a relationship I have more with AoT than FMA.

Half of the comments here being about kitties that accidentally passed away in dryers is sad. Sorry to anyone who’s had to go through that 😭

Phoebe is a rockstar though.
