Lost In Mistranslation

From introspection, to laughter, to pizza and everything between and beyond, this one has it all. More truthfully, however, three guys wax metaphysical and determine just how much a joke can be wrung out before it just stops dripping laughter...quite a lot as it turns out. https://snapthirty.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/e-t-the-existential-titan-lost-in-mistranslation-episode-85.mp3 -30-

In order to realise their dreams, to achieve their true potential, people do many things. Some venture forth to places of higher education, some stay at home and carry on their family legacy and some, well, some climb a mountain in their swimwear, murder a guy and become infamous pro wrestlers. To each their own. https://snapthirty.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/tiger-the-morally-ambiguous-lost-in-mistranslation-episode-84.mp3https://snapthirty.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/tiger-the-morally-grey-lost-in-mistranslation-episode-84.mp3 -30-

What happens when you gather seven people, fed them hotdogs, place them around a single microphone and let them be themselves? This episode, apparently. With regulars, guests and newcomers galore, you'll wonder to yourself, "How is it that this podcast just keeps getting better?" Of course, you'll immediately realise that it doesn't, but it'll be a nice thought while it lasts. https://snapthirty.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/crowd-control-lost-in-mistranslation-episode-83.mp3 -30-

Did you know that light is actually quite heavy? Or that humans were the 74th species to exist on Earth? Or that the preceding 73 species are the only ones capable of flight? Well sit back and buckle up, because Professor Luke Halliday is about to take you on a wild scientific journey through time and space, whilst also explaining why you should never destroy the moon. It's as educational as it is entertaining. https://snapthirty.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/complete-and-utter-science-lost-in-mistranslation-episode-82.mp3 -30-

After briefly drawing from the unending well that is Pokemon Sun & Moon leaks, the guys cast pretense aside and stroll down memory lane. So if you wanted close to three hours of nostalgic cartoon discussion, topped off with personal introspection regarding sleep and possible OCD tendencies, you've come to the right place...and have a very specific set of wants. https://snapthirty.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/anime-oz-style-lost-in-mistranslation-episode-81.mp3 -30-

The more things change, the more they stay the same and boy how things are changing. Ultra Beasts, restrained chimeras and cellular collection now populate the wonderful world of Pokemon, turning the wonderful world of Pokemon on its head. However, one familiar face is here to remind trainers everywhere that Pokemon are pretty awesome...although he may subsequently question his grandnephew's name is... https://snapthirty.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/an-oak-by-any-other-name-lost-in-mistranslation-episode-80.mp3 -30-

With another convention knocking on the proverbial door, those puckish SnapThirty lads venture forth to the faraway land of Melbourne, with little more than the clothes on their back and check-in baggage below 20kg. Then, in a stunning twist that stuns absolutely nobody, they spend and hour and a half talking about shonen and Pokemon. https://snapthirty.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/its-a-mad-mad-mad-madfest-lost-in-mistranslatin-episode-79.mp3 -30-

What has one referential title, two (unknowing) stars and three of the greatest minds to ever work in fictional film making? Why, the hottest new picture guaranteed to never hit the screens of course. One part joke and two parts fever dream, you'd best buckle up and prepare for a wild ride you shan't ever forget...no matter how much you may wish to. https://snapthirty.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/appliarise-that-lost-in-mistranslation-episode-78.mp3 -30-

It was with us through the good times, it was with us through the bad time, heck, it was the good times and the bad times, but now, after much consternation and chaos, Tite Kubo's Bleach has closed the proverbial and literal book on its story. May it be remembered for what it was,what it became and what it will forever be; a piece of manga and anime history. https://snapthirty.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/death-of-the-strawberry-lost-in-mistranslation-episode-77.mp3 -30-

It's time for another lovely live helping of those lovable lunatics and you all know what that means. that's right, an enchanting game wherein both audience and host alike discuss which characters they would spend the rest of their lives with, which they would enjoy a single wonderful night with and which they would render no longer living. Sure the kids call it FMK, but this particular variant has a smidgen more class and, like, two smidgens more kaiju. https://snapthirty.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/time-stands-still-lost-in-mistranslation-episode-76.mp3 -30-

Another week, another discussion surrounding new Pokemon releases, Digimon English dub casting and Bleach. Honestly, it's getting pretty predictable at this point. That being said, the very future of offspring based shonen series may just be revolutionised within the words spun in this particular, aforementioned discussion (emphasis on "may" definitely implied). https://snapthirty.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/bleachs-kid-lost-in-mistranslation-episode-75.mp3 -30-

Can a Pokemon beat a Digimon? Would a Digimon mop the proverbial floor with a Pokemon? What are some interesting directorial choices when it comes to both script and action sequence? These questions have plagued mankind since the dawn of (anime) time...but no longer. that's right, all the answers are right here folks. 100% fact checked and in no way based solely on personal opinion and preference. https://snapthirty.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/tierno-is-concerndo-lost-in-mistranslation-episode-74.mp3 -30-

What do Spiderman, Digimon, Pokemon and the collective works of Seishi Kishimoto have in common? Who knows, but they're all pretty neat. Additionally, the CGI from 1998's Godzilla does not stand the test of time and Ang Lee's Hulk is not a good movie...just so you know. https://snapthirty.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/change-leopardon-lost-in-mistranslation-episode-73.mp3 -30-

Did you hear about those new Pokemon the internet is absolutely in love with? You did? Cool. Now why not listen to a podcast where some guys talk about Tekken and Air Gear? Also included are a series of misunderstandings as to how weeks work and what the heck an Adam Seed is. Surely you can (not) understand. https://snapthirty.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/my-monday-is-tuesday-lost-in-mistranslation-episode-72.mp3 -30-

Did you know that One Piece is a really long running series? That some anime can be too unabashedly risque? And that one of the most prevalent primordial elements can cause you harm? Well, if you didn't, you sure will after this aural romp around the pop culture meadows. https://snapthirty.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/fire-is-dangerous-lost-in-mistranslation-episode-71.mp3 -30-

Well what do you know, another live episode. Who'da thunk it? No really, who? Live broadcasts are usually reserved for breaking news and bleeding edge information. What is this one about you ask? Attractive anime women and the immutable appeal of Pokemon Number 70. To be fair however, brand new Pokemon are mentioned and perhaps the current anime season is delved into a little. Still, this is a pretty chill one, so lay back, grab yourself a drink and be lulled to peace by the musings of three with a very loose grasp on sanity...or improv...or news. https://snapthirty.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/the-weepinbell-tolls-for-thee-lost-in-mistranslation-episode-70.mp3 -30-

Why 69.5 you ask? Why not just list this as episode 70? Well, funny story about that...probably. Haven't actually come up with it yet, but there totally has to be one. At the very least it caught your attention (maybe) and isn't that enough? If not, the ever fresh topic of shonen reappears once more and the great mysteries of Bleach are finally...discussed. Or ridiculed, the words are basically interchangeable in this instance. Also Shaman King is pretty neat, you should check it out sometime. If you want... https://snapthirty.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/snapthirty-was-a-mistake-lost-in-mistranslation-episode-69-5.mp3 -30-

There's always one. One character who is not quite good, not quite evil and tends to rake in an exorbitant amount of the fanbase. The rogue, the renegade, the Sasuke. Think about it for a moment, delve into the recesses of your mind and recall each series you have seen in the past. You may have seen a Sasuke without even knowing it. There may even be a Sasuke in your life right now. Frightening, isn't it? https://snapthirty.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/the-original-sasuke-lost-in-mistranslation-episode-69.mp3 -30-

There are some names that just exude strength, that ooze power, emanate hardiness...synonyms. But then you have to think to yourself; who came up with that name? I mean, somewhere back down the line a person, or persons, took the alphabet and rearranged it until they liked the sound it made. Some might call this practice an art, some, on the other hand, might just wing it and completely undermine the process. Not that you'd find people like that here... https://snapthirty.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/hercules-heracles-lost-in-mistranslation-episode-68.mp3 -30-

There is a fine line between genius and insanity, a very, very fine line. Some would say that creating a man with multiple joints in a single arm is an outrage, some may even cower in fear at the sheer concept. However, some men dare to go further, to push past each and every boundary laid before them...though they probably should've stopped before a cartoon man turned his arms into flutes and fought a bunch of marines. That may have been just a touch too far. https://snapthirty.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/two-elbows-lost-in-mistranslation-episode-67.mp3 -30-
