ASS (Advanced Substation Alpha)

Fantastic sub format for anime.

I wonder why “great” and “sword” need to be Katakana

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 15 points 4 days ago

Loanwords

[-] undefined@lemmy.hogru.ch 1 points 3 days ago

I know, but why? Not trying to be a hater but why not just use the native words?

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 days ago

Same reason some English people will use Japanese words? I don't know.

[-] undefined@lemmy.hogru.ch -3 points 3 days ago

Then why respond?

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago

I didnt know if you knew the loan word thing.

Why ask?

[-] OuterRem@lemm.ee 2 points 3 days ago

They transliterated it as English: “Great” being written like “Go Ra To” or something similar instead of using the Kanji 大 pronounced as “Dai”. Same with Sword, they wrote it like “Sa Do” or something, instead of 剣 pronounced as “Ken”.

[-] Traister101@lemmy.today 2 points 3 days ago

Because it sounds like English words which is "cool"

Eyy I just watched Red Ranger, extremely enjoyable for how stupid it is. I bet I'd have loved power rangers if I watched it as a kid

[-] ulterno@programming.dev 1 points 4 days ago

I watched too much of power rangers on TV as a child.
As a result, I don't find the anime enjoyable.

Even though the premise was fun, I just couldn't tolerate it enough to feel the fun.

Why is that not ASA? Or even ASSA.

[-] fibojoly@sh.itjust.works 62 points 4 days ago

Because they knew exactly what they were doing, obviously.

[-] Jerkface@lemmy.world 38 points 4 days ago

Because ASS.

[-] vodka@lemm.ee 18 points 4 days ago

Because substation alpha is SSA so they just reversed it.

Because it's funny.

When I took a geometry test in eighth grade, I got a point deducted because I wrote ASS instead of SSA (side-side-angle) when calculating angles and side lengths of a triangle. Still got the right answer though

[-] Lemminary@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

Oh, wonderful, teachers who punish kids for being kids and/or making mistakes.

[-] Deathray5@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 3 days ago

In a "show your workings" questions it makes sense.

[-] firelizzard@programming.dev 1 points 2 days ago

There’s no difference between SSA and ASS in that context so it’s pointless to punish a student for that

[-] ServantOfRa@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 4 days ago

Right in the nostalgia! Happiness is a warm genlock...

[-] domi@lemmy.secnd.me 41 points 3 days ago

I always chuckle when Jellyfin shows subtitles as "Full ASS".

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

Never half ass two things. Full ass 1 thing

[-] StopSpazzing@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Same.

I’m so old and tired, this isn’t even funny anymore. I’ll have to explain to some junior engineer about ASS. Then management will learn about this term “ass”, and use it incorrectly at every possible opportunity. Then when no one can explain ASS, I end up being “the ass guy.”
