ASS (Advanced Substation Alpha)

Fantastic sub format for anime.

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

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”.

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 3 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 3 days ago

Because they knew exactly what they were doing, obviously.

[-] Jerkface@lemmy.world 38 points 3 days ago

Because ASS.

[-] vodka@lemm.ee 18 points 3 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
