[QUOTE=koeniginator;38521444]It's a bad dub because they chose to pronounce someone's name the same way the Japanese pronounced it to prevent fans from getting mad?
I'm not following.
Japan can't even clearly get across stuff like that half the time and fans get pissed off when the english dubbers FIX it.
there have been thousands of arguments about how Holo from S&W's name was actually "Horo," according to some die-hard fans.
This entire argument was started solely because the japanese have trouble pronouncing L's/don't have an L sound for that in their language, it was confirmed that the correct spelling was Holo only after the japanese licensor came in to settle the dispute.[/QUOTE]
It's Simon, thats how its translated, how it's pronounced doesn't matter really.
It's Holo, they have trouble pronouncing L's. In the Manga/Anime it's Holo.

They didn't need to "settle" anything. Anyone who can translate a simple 2-3 letters could see it's Holo.
depends if the plot is thick enough

I'm well aware that her name is officially holo, but that isn't the problem, the problem is the ignorant fans.
This should explain by itself the problem:

Fix it and the fans will undoubtedly get pissed off about it since it isn't "true to the original," and thus lose sales. That is why they didn't change it to the proper pronunciation.
See:
[quote=Opinion Prone@http://opinionprone.blogspot.com/2009/06/pronunciations-and-transliterations-of.html]And then there is the fun thing they do when they have English names transliterated into Japanese only to be transliterated back into English. Except that the two English versions don't match. The best example of this is probably Simon from Gurren Lagann. The Japanese have no character for "si," only し/シ ("shi"), and so, Simon was pronounced シモン ("Shimon"). When Gurren Lagann was dubbed by Bandai, they kept that pronunciation, presumably because of perceived fan pressure. The same can be said for Viral, which retained the "vee-rall" pronunciation instead of "fixing" it back to "vhai-rul."[/quote]

pretty sure he's [sp]aware of it by now, as hinted by his reaction after his sister got on the train.[/sp] Just too much of a prude (like every harem MC ever) to do anything about it.
umm he obviously has the hot for ms crazypants, so why would he even bother with her?

It's a pretty good anime, and I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
it's more than just pretty good
So it was my birthday on Sunday and I got paprika. So yesterday I got blazed and watched it.
Dude what? Like what just... how do you?
Joking aside, it was a pretty enjoyable film, it made a reasonable amount on sense, although I may have to watch it again when I'm not high.
Also thanks to filmslacker I think I'm going to watch Beck, I like K-On! but I want something music related but a little more serious.
