TheNaturalPerm said: Lmao, this reminds me of some of the weird localization titles some Hollywood movies got during the 50s here in Sweden"Hey guys how do we translate 'Boku Dake Ga Inai Machi'?" A: "well it means something along the lines of 'A town without me" B: " ERAAASEDDDDDDD" "Great! We take ERASSEDDDDD!" A:"goddamnit..." E.g. "Bringing Up Baby" became "Ingen fara på taket" (No danger on the roof) |
