And again...

[telophase]

I suppose I could be doing something useful, after all, but I'd much rather sit on my ass and watch badly-translated anime.

Woo, the badly-translated names are back! I hope this means the rest of the ep will have some entertaining Engrish. (later: not enough)

Hazel's calling himself "Hans" at the moment.

Sanzo's attempting to shoot Hazel, which isn't working because he's trapped in an illusion, and snarling "Darned."


Gojyo, sitting down in a clearing with Hakkai and Goku, inexplicably says: I'll have one. I'll have one. [...] THis is so annoying. Darned.


GOSH MINOR SPOILERS FOR THE ANIME:

OK, now these few episodes are pretty much a retread of the Kami-sama arc where Gojyo took off and everyone realized it wasn't going to work and so took off after him. Only this time it's Sanzo. Which is so far out of continuity and character (the boys *do* learn from their mistakes, after all) that it's just ridiculous. However, it will never not be funny that the other three decide to go back for Sanzo for the sole purpose of kicking his ass, because they're pissed off that even when Sanzo's gone, youkai hordes keep attacking them.

Hazel: At this point of them, I'm very sure they're dead.

Sanzo: And who's the one that are in cahoots with these nobodies?

You know, I just have a hard time seeing Sanzo saying "cahoots."

Youkai whose name I never remember: What an real annoying person. [...] Just kill that darned monk and get it over with.

Youkai whose name I never remember: Because of that I got my touch back about guns. Darned! They've done unnecessary things!


Youkai whose name I never remember: You're too na? ve Genjo Sanzo.


ETA: Oh, and you know what the youkai whose name I never remember is armed with? I kid you not: a friggin' paintball gun.

These reports bring me a level of joy that HAS to be unhealthy.

[telophase.livejournal.com]

Reload: I just added something. XD

[dragovianknight.livejournal.com]

Tell me the paintball gun makes sense in context. Please.

[telophase.livejournal.com]

To some small extent, yes. We see the effects of the stuff he's shooting (although they're not explained) and realize who gave it to him, but other than that, there's no explanation.

[dragovianknight.livejournal.com]

Well, judging only from your reports, I have to say "sort of makes sense" is probably the best we could really hope for.

[telophase.livejournal.com]

Yeah. That's pretty much the standard state of affairs 'round these parts.

[rachelmanija.livejournal.com]

Paintball gun... I think my brain just exploded.

[telophase.livejournal.com]

This entire anime is teh crack. And not the good stuff, either, the bad stuff that makes you feel like hell but leaves you desperately craving more anyway.

[kintail.livejournal.com]

Ahahah, I think I had repressed the memory of the paintball gun!

I'm really enjoying your engrish reports once again -- so glad to see that you've gotten back to watching them. I was worried everything else had copied corrupted or something.

[telophase.livejournal.com]

:D The discs got lost when I rearranged the apartment and only recently sufaced again. Well, 1, 3 and 4 surfaced: 2 is still MIA. But I'd finished as much of 2 as it would show me, so that wasn't too bad. I'm fully expecting every episode to be the last one I can see, but this one's been holding out so far...

[kintail.livejournal.com]

I should poke Tav about recopying 2 for you anyway... ~_^

The sad part is, I am often thinking three things:

1. That there is somehow a battle between the anime and the HK translators to see which is more batshit,

2. A mental note that the HK translators and the people making the anime are not the same people, and

3. The realization that these two teams of wackiness formed separately, and thus, cannot be blamed on a common cause.

[rachelmanija.livejournal.com]

In conclusion, and to quote from the HK translators of Wolf's Rain, "flubdub and gulf!"

[telophase.livejournal.com]

Take a look at the entry I just posted. I think the animators just unleashed their ultimate attack.

[the-z.livejournal.com]

This is all a bad fanfiction.

[telophase.livejournal.com]

Yes. Exactly. And why are we not making a living at this? BECAUSE WE ARE TOO GOOD.

[chisotahn]

I am disturbed at the level of detail in the paintball gun as compared to CLEARLY more important things - i.e. the MAIN CHARACTERS

A paintball gun should not look more polished than Sanzo's ass. PRIORITIES, people. ._.

[telophase.livejournal.com]

WORD.

[chisotahn]

You seem to be much with the cool. May I friend you? ^^

[telophase.livejournal.com]

:D Sure, I don't mind when people do.

[homasse.livejournal.com]

Oh. My. God. It IS a paintball gun.

This Saiyuki is *crack*.

The *bad* crack.

[telophase.livejournal.com]

And it's the brightest, most cheerfully painted, most primary-colored thing in the ENTIRE ANIME.

If the show hadn't jumped the shark back when they said "Let's make a third series!" and pulled a couple of homeless fanartists off the street to do it, I think this would be the point where I officially declared it to have done so.

ZAKURO! XD

Hooray for the devil's paintball.
