Lost In Mistranslation

Okay, so we all know that reboots are a bit of a sore topic for those who love the originals, that's just a fact of life. However, seldom does a franchise bring back a failed characterisation in order to slam it into an Australian landmark and blow it up with laser beams. Farethewell Zilla, all the fish and Matthew Brodericks of the world couldn't save you from Japan's ire... https://snapthirty.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/zilla-killer-lost-in-mistranslation-episode-66.mp3 -30-

It slices, it dices, it splits in two and does everything twice as fast. It blends, it extends and it whispers sweet nothings into your ears as you drift off to sleep.

Yo hepcats, how's it hanging? Are you digging those sweet rap beats being dropped before you settle in for a cool episode of 4Kids branded One Piece? No need to answer, because the answer is yes, obviously. But if that weren't enough for y'all, how 'bout checkin' out some of those dope new Pocket Monsters that just got dropped this week. They are most assuredly the jam. https://snapthirty.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/rap-is-4kids-lost-in-mistranslation-episode-64.mp3 -30-

Yeah, things go there. You think Dragonball Evolution could go this long without a solid roasting? Think again. These guys are on the forefront of humour, tackling the big issues that plague society; seven year old movie adaptations. Additionally, Dragonball Evolution came out seven years ago, what's up with that? https://snapthirty.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/dragonball-deconstruction-lost-in-mistranslation-episode-63.mp3 -30-

Have you ever had one of those days? Where city life runs you down and you feel like escaping the hustle and bustle? Then why not take a break from it all and head to the country. It's like a place...that isn't the city. Additionally, superheroes are cool...there's something to think about when you're on your trip. https://snapthirty.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/hero-country-lost-in-mistranslation-episode-62.mp3 -30-

Do you like trains? How about card games? Top ten lists? Complex discussions regarding the impact of technology on the definition of inter-personal connection? Fashion? Then is this the podcast for you. As to how those topics connect to each other...they don't. But boy is it a fun ride jumping from one to the other. https://snapthirty.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/ganondorf-armani-lost-in-mistranslation-episode-61.mp3 -30-

It could be said that this is a special podcast. A live, video podcast. Of course that would be pointless to mention because this is still an audio recording. There's still words spoken though, so that's the same...especially if you like JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, or Pokemon, or discussing the differences between Hollywood and the Japanese film market...it's a broad episode. https://snapthirty.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/stand-and-deliver-lost-in-mistranslation-episode-60.mp3 -30-

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is a lot of things; weird, strange, quirky, odd, surreal, crazy, absurd, curious, insane, peculiar, outlandish and all around eccentric...so they pretty much nailed it with the title. Good job, Hirohiko Araki. Also, maybe relax when it comes to Stand on dog violence? Thanks. https://snapthirty.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/diamond-is-unusual-lost-in-mistranslation-episode-59.mp3 -30-

Can you hear it? That cacophonous sound? It foretells of that most sacred of events, that which will bring both joy and sorrow upon all with a decent internet connection. I speak of course of the new anime season, so sit back, buckle up and get ready to listen to a bunch of people talk about trailers that you can't see. Well, you can see them, but you'll have to seek them out yourself. You can make a game out of it...a simple game, but still. https://snapthirty.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/everybody-loves-raven-lost-in-mistranslation-episode-58.mp3 -30-

Memory is a tricky thing. Details are lost to the ether as moments slip into the fog of uncertainty, time blurring the borders between reality and misremebered idealism. Then sometimes things are as simple as you recall and there's no soul searching necessary. On another note, Hunter x Hunter is getting a dub...which is neat. https://snapthirty.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/walkin-down-a-rusty-path-lost-in-mistranslation-episode-57.mp3 -30-

With a promise to commandeer podcast proceedings and a song in his heart, Frank questions Kane and Luke about their lifelong dealings with anime. Naturally, conversation then settles on understanding the storied history of the one and only Seto Kaiba...because reasons. https://snapthirty.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/kaiba-land-lost-in-mistranslation-episode-56.mp3 -30-

With Pokemon Sun and Moon on the horizon, it is prime time for false news to worm its way besides the real. So don your Deerstalker, dust off that magnifying glass and let the sleuthing begin! https://snapthirty.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/false-starters-lost-in-mistranslation-episode-55.mp3 -30-

For one reason or another the guys decide to discuss some behind the scenes factoids, namely regarding how they act on and off mic. They also take the time to invent the next hit shonen series and are now currently waiting for the cash to roll on in. https://snapthirty.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/pulling-back-the-curtain-lost-in-mistranslation-episode-54.mp3 -30-

Recipe for Fireworks Step 1: Mention Sword Art Online to Frank Step 2: [N/A] Also 20 years of Pokemon, hip hip hoorazzmatazz. https://snapthirty.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/sao-irl-lost-in-mistranslation-episode-53.mp3 -30-

For Sale: Dynasty Warriors: Mobile Suit Gundam 3 Price: Free Absolutely no catch here folks, just a brand new game (still shrink wrapped) that totally does not come imbued with the malevolent spirit of a trapped demon. Send any and all expressions of interest to Luke and think about all the joy this game could bring you. [Joy Not Guaranteed] https://snapthirty.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/slightly-better-than-slience-lost-in-mistranslation-episode-52.mp3 -30-

A new Pokemon has been revealed and the guys are as thrilled as you'd expect, which is everything from rather to not at all (pretty sure you can guess who is who on that spectrum). Also a pre-emptive apology to all the listeners out there who can hear, because you might not be able to after this one... https://snapthirty.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/lost-in-mistranslation-episode-51-unironic-sincerity.mp3 -30-

What's this? What's this? A new name takes the stage. What's this? It's something surely strange. What's this? The same old goofy guys are rambling on and on, I guess some things never change. https://snapthirty.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/name-changer-lost-in-mistranslation-episode-50.mp3 -30-

In this shorter episode, the guys ponder the variety that dwells within the AMV community...so they just ignore most of it and make jokes about the prevalence of Linkin Park. https://snapthirty.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/snapcast-episode-49-ultimate-amv-song.mp3 -30-

Can you hear it? The winds of challenge? They blow through the realm of SnapCast and speak, "It's time for another tournament thing or whatever." Eloquent as it is truthful. This time, the guys buckle down and science up hard to figure out what Shonen Jump character's signature move rules the roost...if they can figure out how to pronounce them that is. https://snapthirty.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/snapcast-episode-48-melchsees-lanch.mp3 -30-

With special guest Jahan rounding out the council, the guys delve into the untapped goldmine that is vague anime synopses. Then, when conversation takes its inevitable turn towards left field, Luke enlightens the world on the ins and outs of Japanese wrestling. https://snapthirty.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/snapcast-episode-47-crotchular-suplexery.mp3 -30-
