General question..

[essential]

I find it weird that every translated uncut anime I see in almost all they use the word bastard, why? can't they use other foul language i keep hearing bastard it gets on my nerves...

[Rayl]

Well from what i can tell the word they translate to bastard can mean diffrent things (don't quote me on this) such as shit , damn, ect. I guess it just depends on who's subbing it really...

[ilovetigers_34]

i mean if we call some1 for example a chode, or a ****head, or a moron, the whole language barrier is crap, and so when we say ****head they hear bastard and visa versa :P

japanese is very complicated :P VERY COMPLICATED! im doing it in my final years which start in 2 weeks but it should help somehow but watching anime, or atleast i say that 2 myself :P

It means the subber is British.

Maybe when ever you see or hear bastard it's the only word that can come close to the translation of the Japanese word which probably means something else.
Sorry i hope that made sense

japanese is not that hard.German is hard. I must now that, i am from germany.

'couse bastard sounds so ultra cool^^

[Itachi]

Hehe usually you should have said german is easy since it's your language... but anyways... yeah it depends on the on the fansub, it's like saying idiot and stupid...

[hypercrazy]

yes most anime are made to attract teens and kids. So they are not allow to input so much foul languages. But due to the translation, some of the words you heard may not be what it means. Like my friend always say "same finger, different sh!T"
