The boxes

Sailor X · Post by **Sailor X** » Sat Oct 18, 2003 9:19 pm

Help me! Just wanted to know some little tiny things about the boxes before I put them on my Christmas list (Ha ha, I'm young enough that my parents still get me presents) or spend my own money.
1) Do they do what Pioneer did with the Subtitles for the openings and closings? You know, translated lyrics and romanized lyrics on the screen at the same time? They did the opposite with Dirty Pair and Dirty Pair Flash- translated lyrics one episode, romanji the next. It's very annoying.
2) Were they dumb enough to slap English credits in the middle of the screen for the closings?

Yes and yes.

1. Nope. You can either watch the translated ones or romanized ones by themselves, not together.

2. Um, the credits are in English during the closing, yes, if that's what you meant.

Wait, does Romanji here mean, the Japanese symbols or the romanized version? Romanized yes, kana you can choose.

(Sorry if that's basic knowledge, I live in a hole that consists of Sailor Moon, the internet, and food)

Romanized just means the Japanese words put into English letters. And you can view it in Kana? Explain o_O I haven't been able to...

Kana? What are you talking about? Romanized lyrics look like this: Gomen ne sunao ja nakute... etcetera. Every episode alternates with romanized lyrics and the English translation.

EDIT: Obviously I was writing this just as Lucied posted.

As Lucied said, you get English lyrics or Romanized lyrics every other episode (i.e., first is English, then Romanized, then English blah blah).

Romanized means Japanese spelled in English letters. So まこと (gotta love Global IME) becomes Makoto.

Well you know how everyone says you can't have subtitles? I don't know about your DvD player, but mine has a "subtitles" button. I haven't tried this on the endings, but I found that on the theme song, if I turn subtitles to off it displays the kana. It also works for the episodes too.

Who says you can't have subtitles? I am just confused...

What I mean is that there is no menu you can put the DvD player on that clearly says that subtitles go off.

*head explodes*

There's kana when the subtitles are off? I have them off sometimes and I never see any Kana O_o

Whenever I turn off subtitles using WinDVD, they just go away...you must have some special discs there.

That's what I remember...which one were you using? Season 1 or season 2?

Ok, so you meant that there's no way to turn the subtitles off. Most DVD remotes have the option to, unless they're embedded on the disc.

Season 1 (waiting for good Season 2 discs to come out)

Slightly off-topic, but I'm retiring for the night to watch the game/Ruroni Kenshin/Saturday Night Live, so don' expect any replies 'till the morning ('bout 12 hours from now or so). Peace.

Lucied · Post by **Lucied** » Sat Oct 18, 2003 9:40 pm

But what about the kana? You said you could see kana when subtitles were off?

Jeff · Post by **Jeff** » Sat Oct 18, 2003 9:41 pm

The openings do have the lyrics at the bottom in whatever Japanese system it is, though I'm not sure about the endings.

Celexa · Post by **Celexa** » Sat Oct 18, 2003 9:43 pm

Oh midgod...I checked up on it real quick...

I'll say I was wrong. Sometimes I have dreams that I can't distinguish between a dream and a reality and that must have been one of those times. I really should have checked before I posted. Sorry minna...I've seen the kana version so...
I guess it went something like this.

1) Watching episode late at night
2) I turned the subtitles off.
3) I watched the "kana" for about three seconds then moved it back.
4) I went to bed.

Then I guess I woke up and I didn't know it was a dream...this is so embarassing.....

But I can assure anyone who has a DvD changer with a subtitle button can turn them off..

gomen ne minna...

Lol, don't worry about it, we all screw up XD

And for those who have a PS2 and don't know, you can turn off the subs by pressing the L3 button

There's no subtitle option on the disc menus, but you can turn them off via the subtitle button on your remote.
