  1. So how far is too far when it comes to “localizing” certain references in Japanese dialogue. Some things just don’t translate, like pop culture references that only Japanese folk will get immediately.

    I think it’s odd/funny to me, for instance, that characters are translated as saying “My bad” when they are actually saying “warui” which means bad as well.

    I get that you don’t want, say, Funimation injecting political terms where they’re not necessary, but can these terms be used at all, or are we too sensitive in these MAGA days?
