Gunbuster Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 The rest of the translation is Minmay, "because that's a tea store" Hikaru is thinking "it's not a bookstore?" Roy is saying "that's enough you guys" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent ONE Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 Jesus, what a stupid poster. If I bothered to draw something like that I would have at least made them say something cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy's Blues Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 Well, A1 maybe some of our MW photoshop wizards can come up with something cool. Minmay "Kneel for your proper Kancho from Misa, stoopid rookie!" Roy "FETCH BEER NOW!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

halfan Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 I think this is more of an inside joke. It would probably make more sense if we could see the rest of the book or magazine it was published in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurin Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 We're still missing a few translations. . . what's shammy saying in the upper-most bubble? That's Shammy right? Of course, never let a lack of context and information stop you from saying something is incredibly stupid! H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunbuster Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 oh yeah, i forgot about her ;; I think she said "ozuresamadeshita" or "o yoresamadeshita" but i could be wrong. I'm so rusty on my Japanese..does' anyone know the kanji? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beltane70 Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 That's Kim, btw. She's saying "otsukaresamadeshita". I can't quite figure out what exactly the phrase means. This is what happens when one doesn't own a book on Japanese grammar! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opus Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 That's Kim, btw. She's saying "otsukaresamadeshita". I can't quite figure out what exactly the phrase means. This is what happens when one doesn't own a book on Japanese grammar! Google is your friend.http://www.city.yokohama.jp/me/naka/conten...n/lesson-3.html "Otsukaresama" is used to acknowledge someone's efforts or show your appreciation for the trouble that they have gone through. "Tsukare" () means tiredness or fatigue. For example, you can say "otsukaresama" to a colleague who has just returned from an important meeting. For your superiors, add "desu" () at the end to make it more polite: "otsukaresamadesu" (). You may also use the past tense, "otsukaresamadeshita" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beltane70 Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 Looking through the two dictionaries I have, Minmay and Hikaru are saying totally diffferent things than what Gunbuster translated. Here's what I get from what I found in my dictionary: Minmay: arewa obshibai (a drama or a show)nandakarane Hikaru: Honki (seriousness) janakattano? Going out on a limb, I'm thinking this is supposed to be similar tot he scene in DYRL where Hikaru wonders how real Minmay's performance in the TV show she was in was.
