Favorite Engrish Quotes from Anime

[Wild Eagle]

You know how sometimes in subbed anime, the translations would have been done so badly that there is engrish in the subtitles itself. Here you can post the quotes that made you laugh because of bad subtitiling(not sure if that's a word ).

Alex Rowe: *to Lavi repairing the Vanship* Lend it [the wrench] to me. It need dohickey. -Last Exile

[Petite Soeur]

From Pita-Ten:

Misha: I'm an anger! (Meaning angel)

I think that's funny, because Misha acts as if she has no capability for ire at all.

[Tenshi no Ai]

These are all from one ep of subbed Sonic X (the new 3rd season). One thing that bugs me even more, is that in these subs if someone says "Aa!" they translate it as "Sonic, you're my hero!" kinda thing :/ here's the engrish:

-We shall leave you alone and we shall not care after you.

-Let her alone.

-I warn you right now to avoid that you are made ideas.

-He trapped it into a cristal.

[Ashley]

"Please accompany me to hell!" -- Shannon, Scrapped Princess Manga. That manga fails so badly at the dialogue. >.>;;

[Wild Eagle]

Some Commander Person from Last Exile (can't remember his name ) : We shall rely on our spirit of knight -do!

[Kami]

From Ragnarok:The Animation

- " We will going to the place to leave which is now. "

Naruto [ Volume 7]

- "Sakura, point out the person who has pummeled you into that state. "
- [ Original ] " Who beat you up ? "

-Kami

[Shao Feng-Li]

Apparently these people failed spelling and grammar.

[Nu-En-Jin]

Must... resist.... Zero Wing quotes....

[Tenshi no Ai]

Must... resist.... Zero Wing quotes....

..."What happen?"
"Someone set us up the bomb!"

>_< Best when you hear the vocal to it.

[Scribs]

Scrapped Princess!
-Is she type of man to perish world?
-She would be catastrophic fountainhead.
-Dogon Amphibian.

.Hack/sign
Paraphrased-her name is bt because she is hateful of lagoon. but she like BLTs without the hateful food.

[ChristianKitsune]

So this is anime and Manga?

I know a lot of times in the RK Manga viz translates funny... but what cracked me up even more is in one of the volumes, Kenshin has a "U" on his Gi (shirt) so it looks like some kind of initial on his clothes

[Galant]

Apparently these people failed spelling and grammar.

Perhaps, better than I could do were I writing Japanese!

[uc pseudonym]

- "Sakura, point out the person who has pummeled you into that state. "
- [ Original ] " Who beat you up ? "

Not, strictly speaking, Engrish, as the sentence does not contain any errors. However, it doesn't exactly sound like most 12-year-olds I know.

Apparently these people failed spelling and grammar.

Professional translators really have no excuse, as they should have people who speak English as a native language editing after the Japanese translators. I give amateurs quite a bit of leeway.

[Mr. SmartyPants]

I know this is a game, but this is all I could think of

FF7, Aeris in the slums

"These guy are sick"

[Crossdive]

Okay, now you've gotten me started, dub InuYasha has countless hilarious moments! *tries not to bust out in laughter*
just a few that come to mind (most of these are funny the way they are delivered and sound, rather than the actual lines):

*Kagome shoots an arrow at Yura of the Hair but it heads towards InuYasha, who ducks to barely evade it*
InuYasha: WOULD YOU WATCH WHERE YOU'RE AIMING THAT THING PLEASE!!

Miroku (pretending to be a love-struck girl): Oh, a bunny! I've always wanted to see one up close!

(Kagome finishes telling InuYasha and Myouga about man going to the moon in a rocket)
Myouga: Man has gone to the moon?
InuYasha: On a bicycle? (he says it like "by-cycle")

(Hiten and Manten have been told by Kagome (Who was captured) that she and InuYasha are lovers and intend to use her as ransom to get InuYasha's jewel shards. One of them says something about them being lovers.)
InuYasha (with a funny face): Lovers?
(more chatting)
InuYasha (to Kagome): You honestly think I'd give over the Jewel Shards just to get YOU back?!
Kagome: Yes! Because that's what a lover would do!
InuYasha: Yeah, but we ain't lovers! And without love the whole arguement kinda falls apart!

(Miroku and Kagome are telling InuYasha to be more gentle)
Miroku: Yeah, you need to be more gentle... like this (presumably he is groping Kagome's behind again (this is before Sango appears))
Kagome: EEK!
InuYasha: I told you not to touch her!

there are a couple more, but one is kinda crude and most of them are a bit blurry, so I guess that's all for now...

EDIT: oop! I thought of another one!

Miroku: It's irrational, it's impossible, and it's against my religion.
InuYasha: You oughta be arrested!

[Kura Ookami]

Miharu in girls bravo: "I put the tower here" (Tower is meant to be towel)

[Scribs]

Online I recently saw a thing where Star Wars Episode 3 was translated into chinese and then back into engleshby some very incompetant chinese people. The end result was helarious. I would give you a link to the page but it contains some objectionable language so I will refrain. I wil instead put in indevidual shots devoid of vulgarity. If anyone wants the full link PM me.



The title "Revenge of the Sith" was Translated "Backstroak of the West"



obi wan talks strategy... I think



the chancelor warns that count duku is... big.



obi wan assures him that there is no problem wiht that



the story about the sith who was more strong and big.



It seems that the chinese have translated jedi council as the Presbyterian Church.



dont ask me what this means



Obi wan has the high ground



and the translation of "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"
