Samurai = Magnificent?

What about terrible Western names for Japanese titles?
WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU CALL IT WHEN THEY CRY

>>3834284
Now I want some delicious Bruce Campbell soup.

>>3834291
Because WHEN THEY CICADAS CRY doesn't sound appealing.

>>3834291
Because WHEN THE CICADAS CRY doesn't sound appealing.

>>3834245
And I thought Grandpa Carl's Flying House sounded retarded

>>3834291
It would have sounded weird if they put it as The Time When the Evening Cicadas Cry. Although I do agree that it's a terrible name. I wish they would have just left it Higurashi; or even When the Higurashi Cry. But Japanese titles in Romaji seem to scare off the average Western shopper for some retarded reason.

>>3834245

The German version of the movie translates to "Kiss the Frog".

>>3834291
Because that's what Ryuiishi07 wanted the whole series to be called. Higurashi and Umineko together are part of the whole When They Cry Saga. And yeah, When Cicadas Cry would sound just as stupid.

>>3834308
Also why would Ryukishi name the entire series that when Umineko isn't about cicadas?

>>3834255
...why couldn't they have just used whatever the Kanji for "up" is? UP IS A SIMPLE TITLE, DON'T FUCK IT UP.

Speaking of this, for the longest time I thought umineko meant mercat. :(

>>3834322
上げ！

>>3834324
did you even read the first part of EP1?

>>3834324 mercat

>>3834335

Yeah, those.

>>3834334

No.

>>3834245
Is The Princess and the Frog any good? I heard it has already been released in some areas.

>>3834358
it was only released in 2 theaters in its limited release.

>>3834358
IT'S RACIST

>>3834245
I figure it's probably the name of the fairy tale in japanese.

>>3834394
Nope.

>>3834447
Oh, so is it really プリンセスとカエル or something?

>>3834245
wtf? they used the katakana ... they have (O)HIME(SAMA) WHY THE FUCK DIDN'T THEY USE THAT?

Pretty soon Japanese is gonna be nothing but Katakana and it'll sound like terribly spoken english.... FAIL JAPAN. FAIL.

>>3834456
No sign of the kanji for keroro in there.

>>3834255
>>3834245
The Incredibles in Japan is called Mr. Incredible.
Ratatouille in Japan is called Remy's Delicious Restaurant.

The Japanese title for The Frog Princess is
カエルになったお姫様
Kaeru ni natta ohime-sama
The princess who became a frog

The Japanese title for The Frog Prince is
かえるの王さま
Kaeru no Ou-sama
The frog king

>>3834658 Remi's Delicious Restaurant

>>3834363
I was gonna go until I found out the tickets cost $50 per head.

>>3834322
I have no clue as to why, but I was talking to a Japanese guy about it, and he said that having the japanese word for up as the title was apparently too weird or awkward or something.

Similarly why Ratatouille is Remy's Delicious Restaurant. Apparently naming your film after a (to them) obscure stew dish doesn't fly well.

>>3834320
Higurashi = cicadas
Umineko = seagulls

>>3834707
>$50

So many retarded titles.

>>3834798
Why not "Bianca and Bernard's Great Adventure"? BIANCA IS NOT THE ONLY MAIN CHARACTER, JAPAN.

>>3834798
>101 Puppies
THIS IS WRONG AND THE JAPANESE SHOULD FEEL BAD

>Lady and the Tramp - わんわん物語 - Bark Bark Story

>One Hundred and One Dalmatians - 101匹わんちゃん - 101 Puppies

Haha it's like they avoided using a loanword.

>The Emperor's New Groove - ラマになった王様 - The King Who Became a Llama

SPOILERS

>>3834798 Alice in Wonderland - ふしぎの国のアリス - Alice of the Land of Wonder
To be fair, that is the way the book is translated as well, so it's not really Disney's fault with this one.

>>3834798
The only thing I like of those titles is changing Hercules to his actual Greek name. God damn I get annoyed when something uses the Greek names for all the gods, but then goes and uses the Roman name for Heracles.

>>3834798

"The Emperor's New Groove"= "Las Locuras del Emperador" here. At least it's better than the japanese one.

>>3834798
Those sound like fucking Chinese bootlegs. Guess that's where they get the names from.

>>3834798
Were the Rescuers movies actually any good? I was a retarded hyper seven year-old when I saw them last and I don't really remember.

>>3834798
Hercules - ヘラクレス- Heracles
That's actually acceptable. It's the same person, just greek and roman mythology has different names for it.

>>3834845
Really though, Hercules is pretty much the established regular English translation. Just like you don't call Confucius "Kong Fuzi", or Jesus "Yĕhōšuă".

>>3834798
>Meet the Robinsons - ルイスと未来泥棒 - Lewis and the Future Thief
I'm okay with this.

>>3834872
It still doesn't mix well, especially when you're calling his mother Hera instead of Juno or whatever her Roman name is. The son of HERA is named HERAcles. It's that easy!

>>3834868
Yes they were.

>>3834868
Yes The Rescuers was a good movie. Personally I liked it better than The Rescuers Down Under.

>>3834872
I've seen other English renditions call him Heracles. And I'm ok with Hercules, just as long as they stick with one naming or another. If you're calling him Hercules, then you damn well better be calling his father Jupiter. Don't use the Greek names for some and then the Roman names for others in the same story.

A shota crocodile hunter with a knife rides a giant goddamn golden eagle. What the fuck do you think?

>>3834887
Agreed. I hated that Kangaroo-Mouse in Down Under. Also, Bianca's voice was so hot.

>>3834879
>Implying Heracles was Hera's child

>>3834798
I love how with Home on the Range they actually did keep the title the same, but just decided to add a retarded sub-title to it.

>>3834897
I've always wanted to meet a woman like Bianca. She was so cool.

>>3834906
Ok, fucked that up. Forgot, that was the main reason Hera hated him. But he was named AFTER Hera, wasn't he? Thought it was something Zeus did to troll her or something.

>>3834877
Me too

>>3834921
It was to try to calm Hera down. It means something like Glory of Hera or something.

>>3834846
I wonder if that'll be the same title once the remake hits Japan

>>3835069
Nope.
