| Is it Engrish level or Lenin-approved level? And please no сука блять in this thread alright? |

| Hearing Russian in this anime really caught me off guard. I'd say, Tsukishima is pretty decent and his speech is quite understandable(although,his accent is still very strong). The rest of the "Russian boys" are pretty hard to understand without subtitles, because of the accent. I think it's Engrish level, maybe a little better ("Ti so mnoy ne shuti"( "Do not mess with me") from Tsukishima at the end was powerful af!). |
Dohn_Jow said: Hideous. Actually, the author of the manga did a great job, inviting a russian expert to translate all the russian lines in manga, that's why all russian text there looks extremely credible. On the other hand, there's nothing even close to such attention to details in anime. Most of russian lines are clearly voiced by japanese guys who speak russian first or second time in their lives. Why can't anime staff just follow author's example and hire russian voice actors? It's not that hard, considering there's internet around. Very disappointed. Hmmm... thank you for the trivia about the manga, that's good to know. We plan to do an impression on this anime soon and will make sure to insert that in. Author did very good research on Ainu culture and I guess I shouldn't be surprised that he paid the same level of dedication to the Russian language too |

| And I wonder why here they used "наколка" instead of "татуировка". |

Lev1athan said: I agree. I heard the French in Great Pretender and was like “woah I can actually understand it”Watame said: Russkiy moi vtoroi inostranniy yazik, kotoriy ya viychil. Seichas ya mogu govorit’ na chetireh yazikah, I uchu pyatiy. (Russian is my second foreign language. I speak 4 now and trying to learn the 5th). Тут не самый худший пример использования русского языка, но и до среднего уровне не дотягивает. This is not the worst example of the use of the Russian language, but it does not reach the average level either (this is the translation of the sentence before). In Great Pretender the creators called in other actors to speak in Chinese and English, and the sound is good there. Of course, it turned out ideal with Klara in Girls and Panzer. |

| Text is okay, the pronunciation is awful but who cares literally. |
| As it was already mentioned by many, its more of the "engrish" level/kind of pronunciation rather than anything else. |

alshu said: And I wonder why here they used "наколка" instead of "татуировка". that's pretty obvious - word "наколка" is from criminals/prisoners slang while "татуировка" has more general meaning, so the first one is more appropriate here. |

sasahara_n said: word "наколка" is from criminals/prisoners slang 1. Do you have a source for that? If I am not mistaken tattoos came in Russia kind of late mostly used in the beginning by sailors. 2. The guys in the scene looked more like random peasants and drunkards not exactly ex prisoners. I was wondering if "наколка" was more commonly used by low class workers and peasants... |

OK, thanks for the info! So at that place at Sakhalin surprising amount of petty criminals and ex cons. |
if i'm not mistaken, even in one of the episodes of GK it was mentioned that Sakhalin was initially an ideal place for penal servitude, and it was till ~1905, so it's no wonder that there are so many ex-crims or their descendants and they use much prisoner's jargonisms in their common lives. |

| Not so good and I barely can understand what they are saying, only catching separate words occasionally. The words could be phrased better too, like their order or the use in context. Russian is my native language and I finally can relate to people who complain about bad English in anime, because to me English usually just sounds with a slight accent and not so horrible, but Russian sounds... well, not really Russian at all. But it's funny as well, so I don't mind. The parts with Baanyaaa and Veeenik were insanely hilarious. |

Dohn_Jow said: Наколка comes from наколоть, to prick, which simply refers to the process of making a tatoo. I know what it literally means. Just was curious why this exact wording...because I am not familiar with the criminal jargon, especially from that period. My theory was it's more of a "red neck" therm since "татуировка" comes from the french "tatouage" and russian nobles talked in french within their high society circles. I thought it's more of a social thing, but since it's a criminal therm this has different implications about what was going in that certain scene. |
| Above average for foreign media, levels above the stuff from John Wick and similar movies, for example. The text is quality, the speech is mostly understandable, although the accent is strong. |
| This is the exact same question that I have after completing the anime, and as expected from the above answers, it's only average or even bad. Many Japanese anime also have bad German and Chinese spoken, and sometimes the Chinese makes me cringe too. But an anime can't cater all audience and make the language perfect. So rather than getting angry at bad language speaking, maybe just focus on the content of the anime. |
