English translations in anime

>even for making your ammo...
Sorry but the caliber that won two world wars disagrees. Japan needs to get with the times.

They can't process linguistic information unless it's phrased like something spiderman would say. That's why, for instance, "Yurusenai" just doesn't compute if it's simply translated as "Unforgiveable" - for the American anime watcher, a translation like "Holly Molly my dude, I'm like, so pissed now, i think some ass-kicking is in order, pal" feels way more fitting and natural. It goes without saying that all units have to be converted to something that can be related or expressed in burgers. Celsius? Preposterous. Medium rare burgers usually have an inner temperature of about 150 degrees Fahrenheit, so of course the only valid unit and most comfortable unit to measure temperature is Fahrenheit degrees.

The concept of caliber is based on inches, 22cal is .22 inches, 50cal is .5 inches.
The entire world has standardized their ammunition on the American 22cal(5.56mm) and 30cal(7.62mm)

why don't Americans just use imperial for their local stuff (like news and shit) and use metric for international stuff?

what, do they think the world revolves around them, or something?

>do they think the world revolves around them, or something?
Do you seriously have to ask?

>why don't Americans just use imperial for their local stuff (like news and shit) and use metric for international stuff?
Euro brainlets don't understand this is what already happens
>what, do they think the world revolves around them, or something?
Yes

?? your manufacturers machines uses metrics to create those ammo, are you daft ?
if they didn't then your guns would jam all the time because the ammo "may" be 5.56 or "may" be 5.57 or 5.55
do you honestly BELIEVE that high precision manufacturers use imperial ????

Ah yes, good ol' 11x23mm

>you can't be precise with imperial
Not true, units are units. The concept of an inch doesn't just change length because it's based on muh 1/1000000000 distance of the north pole to the equator. nowadays it especially doesn't matter because computers do everything anyways

someone posted the detective conan tl in the mahjong general the other day and the subs just directly translated all of the mahjong terms turning it into utter nonsense

>Americans don't have to deal with 3rd world retardation like metric
"The United States of America, Myanmar, and Liberia. However, in Myanmar and Liberia, the metric system has been used parallel with imperial, and both countries are on their way to completely switch on using only one, which would be the metric system."

Do euros really?

it does matter because computers use metrics, even computer parts are made with metrics, and no, your unit isn't precise at all 1 mile is 1,60934 KM, 1cm is 0,393701 inches how retarded is that ??
you never went to space with imperial, that's telling everything i need to know...

Here's another issue with "translations", the setting of the anime is obviously in Japan but the monetary value is localised into US dollars, with conversion and all.

Haha retard

>1 mile is 1.609344km
>1 inch is 2.54cm
>how is that precise at all
You can be infinitely precise with any arbitrary unit, retard

The modern inch is derived from the metric system. The preliminary concept of the length of an inch was three lined up grains of barley, which is hardly an accurate way of measuring a whole unit of length, and is impossible to reproduce if you don't even have access to any barley.

Why did he get -5 on the second attempt? He was clearly putting the Union Jack on the British Isles.

not really, it's like your retarded conception of time...
month/day/year instead of the logic day/month/year
metric is so useless that all countries have adopted it except 3 backward shitholes including your country (except the other 2 also use metric for anything remotely important).

American dates are written the way they are said in everyday speech. People say "July 31st" for example, not "31 July". You can structure English so the day comes before the month but it's far less common to do so than just saying [month] [ordinal number].

Fourth of July says hi.
