What is the best way to translate a dialect or accent of the original language that is not the norm (e.g., Kansai-ben)?
Different country's English accent (e.g., Irish or Australian)
Different American regional accent (e.g., Southern)
Have the character use different slang (e.g., 'pops' instead of 'dad')
Minor speech pattern differences (e.g., dropping the 'g' in '-ing' words)
No difference in translation but have a translation note
I don't care

Quote from Gorath
Shounen:
- The hero has always at least two love interests.
- There is no "impossible" in manga - there is always a stronger attack, a next villain (guess what? Yeah, stronger than the last one...far stonger!) or a next heart-wretching situation.


SeeYa

Gorath

Good job.

At Chibi, your not quite getting it. It may just be your wording, but it's not what must, but waht is. And not for reading manga explicitly, but more like implicit characteristics of manga/anime that can be presented in a comical fashion.


Okay then, Instead of reading must read WILL HAVE, that should solve your problem

2. the main character ALWAYS has a childhood friend.

3. at some point, we learn the cute girl can't cook.

How about:

Manga drawn by people who have American last names are not Manga even if the art is perfect, the story is good, the layout is correct, and it was originally written in Japanese.

Okay, I didn't read all of the "Laws of Anime Physics" (too long! biggrin ), so some of these might be repeats:

Mostly shoujo but there are some shounen:

1) When the heroine trips/falls, the boy he likes will always be there to catch her (with matching flowers and sparkly stuff in the background)
2) The more handsome, intelligent, talented (read: attractive) a guy is, the less he is interested in women. Also, the more fan clubs he has, the less he is interested as well. Corollary: The quiet male types always show no interest in women: (*points to Kurama from YYH)
3) When a girl finally confesses to a guy, everyone else around the area magically disappears.
4) Orphans are always the strongest fighters.
5) If the girl is a complete tomboy, there will always be a scene where she has to wear make-up and feminine clothes.
6) The sultry seductive woman is always the villain.
