Are there any subtitles that do word-for-word translations and also preserve Japanese sentence order? For example if the girl says "oniichan daisuki desu!" typical translations will give;
>"I love you, bother!"
whereas I'd prefer
>"Older brother, big love! [added emphasis]"

Zachary Cook
No, but I'd be interested in reading these, too. Japanese is a hilariously simplistic language.
Hunter Stewart
I don't watch anime or read manga unless it's in Romaji desu
Parker Ross
Try learning it before saying it is simplistic
Aiden Allen
I am learning it and it is simplistic
Elijah Collins
As opposed to English?
Easton White
you just made me imagine a mentally challenged imouto hugging his oniichan while saying that. thanks for the laugh, i guess
Nolan Thompson
Why would you want this?
Jaxson Young
>Older brother, big love! Kill yourself.
Justin Walker
Doesn't the Japanese language leave a lot unsaid because it expects a lot of meaning from context? If you take phrases out of context, of course they'll seem simple. Dependence on context makes actual communication much more complex.

Wait, what do they say when they have a retarded character?
Kayden Hughes
How would you translate the particle と, or the continuative て?
Xavier Hill
Chaika is the closest thing that comes to mind.
Cooper Edwards

Angel Clark
"and" and "-ing".
Elijah Howard
What you're looking for is called "interlinear gloss" or something like that. I don't see the point of using it for animu anyway, in fact that's stupid.
Nicholas Jenkins
>direct translation of particles
why
Jason Sullivan
That's not how languages work.
Camden Young
It's literally how languages work.
Ethan Murphy
No, it is not.
Dominic Gutierrez
You're literally a retard
Angel Collins
Why would you not want a more accurate translation as opposed to the typical overly localized or gg-style meme subs that we usually get?
Consider, for example, that when a character says something that has the most dramatic part at the end but [shitty first year japanese student sub group] decides to put it at the very beginning because they don't actually know how to translate, you are losing a considerable amount of impact due to the hubris/incompetence/laziness of the so-called "translators."
The same reason why onigiri aren't Japanese donuts and why -kun and -sama are necessary to an accurate and legitimate Japanese translation are also why serious translators should always try to preserve Japanese word order.

Seems like a good idea.

Caleb Barnes
If you can already hear the differences in sentence structure then it shouldn't matter that the subs match.
Kill yourself OP
Ethan Long
It has all that crap BECAUSE the language itself is simplistic and can't convey anything meaningful without a thousand add-ons
Kayden Lopez
such retarded nonsense
Jace Gray
Nice pretending to be retarded post
Owen Lopez
Those "add-ons" are an integral part of the language, moron.
Charles Thomas
there are barley groups that do regular translations nigger. No, there aren't any that do it in that way to my knowledge.
You either watch raw or watch subbed, no in between to try and learn.
Adam Perry
compare English grammar structure, pronunciation, vocabulary and even writing conventions to Japanese and Japanese will prove to be simpler like 98% of the time. Judging from your Japanese you posted there you're probably still in your first year or even first couple months of learning so I understand that you may think it's complex but trust me, it isn't. 勉強頑張って

The word order is different because that's how the two languages work. I can see what you mean when you say the timing of a certain part of a line is important, but if you try to work the english translation around so that it's in sync with the original Japanese wording, it's going to sound like awkward English. Apparently you don't mind awkward English, so there's no point in telling you why that isn't a good idea.
Oh, and nobody is defending 4kids levels of localization. That isn't just translation, that's deliberate tampering with the meaning of the lines in order to edit out aspects of Japanese culture that kids are assumed to not be familiar with. As for honorifics, I'm iffy. I wouldn't mind them in text subtitles, but it would probably sound awful in actual English dubbing.
Have you ever heard of the term "Lost in Translation?"
Camden Lopez
>You either watch raw or watch subbed What about people like me, that watch dubbed?
Brody Butler
Kill yourself
Jace Ortiz
>complaining about Japanese word order Latin would truly blow your minds
Alexander Martin
that can go with subbed I guess. No inbetween as in no mixture of people who want half raw and half sub.

It's fucking caveman talk dude!
Easton Perez
There's nothing wrong with the sentence but it's so extremely "I'm JSL" that it physically hurts me to read it
Kevin Barnes
Why would anyone want this?
Austin Cook
If you're getting so autistically picky that you want to keep the Japanese sentence structure, then you need to get off your ass and actually take the time to learn nihongo so you can watch shows in their original form.
Otherwise, what OP requested can only be described as retarded.
Samuel Martin
Japanese has Subject-Object-Word, english has Subject-Word-Object. You really want subs like "I home am going" or "You hamburgers like"? That's not awkward english, that's "racist stereoytpe chinese character" english.
Caleb Mitchell
how would you say it?
Thomas Edwards
>Word What kind of word, user?
Jayden Jones
Verb. Jesus, how embarrassing. Point still stands.
James Parker
I'd express it eloquently in a language I know and that is superior to this ancient islander stammering.
Matthew Wilson
so you don't have an answer because you don't speak japanese and just felt like making an antagonistic post, nice

You don't know japanese, do you? Pitiful
Isaiah Hernandez
Some people are just incapable of learning about 中出しの喜び
Cameron Price
I honestly can't see much use for that. If you want to use it for learning japanese, I think a much better use of fansubs would be to have both the english and japanese subs visible together, with words coloured to indicate which parts map to which.
so if a sentence mentions "sekai", you'd have "sekai" in the jp line and "world" in the eng line the same colour (eg: red)
Colton Gray
How is it racist to translate it how it is?
Thomas Ross
so Japanese syntax sounds odd to Indo-European native speakers
wow such a marvel
Ryan Gutierrez
This would actually be really useful. I'm planning to get a Japanese wife so I need to understand the mind of the natives, including their retarded speech patterns. For example, I know "da-meh" means "no" but when she says it she's really saying she's a dirty slut and asking me to fuck her harder. Having a translation of "no" would not be helpful in that context.
Blake Moore
>For example, I know "da-meh" means "no" but when she says it she's really saying she's a dirty slut and asking me to fuck her harder. So just like English. You're already fluent, user. You just haven't realized it yet.
Lucas Phillips
About a month or two ago I saw a nip try to make a strict translation of English dialogue into moon and seeing it from the other side really highlighted why it's important to adjust a translation for the audience. Relaxed banter between friends became extremely stiff, awkward, and sometimes confusing and the joking manner of their speech didn't come across at all, it was like a completely different scene from what I watched even though the words were similar. Not to mention, slang and certain dialects become incomprehensible when translated literally. If the dialogue contained a joke and you completely missed it because it was translated word for word and had no indication of why it was humorous in the new language then you did not experience the scene how it was originally meant to be conveyed, that's not a good translation. A translation is not just about translating words but also the tone, context, etc.
