On the Animax channel here in Asia, there is a trailer for "Lamu the
Invader Girl", which is actually Urusei Yatsura. What markets are
using this title?

In the late '90s, it aired on one of the BBC cable channels in the UK with a
similar title. It may be the international name for the show.

The name is more often used in markets such as the Italian market where
the word "Lamu" is pronounced more like the original pronunciation than
"Lum" would be.

Heh, I still find it amusing when it comes to listening the the theme
song in the Italian version I have downloaded one time. A friend of
mine from Texas really enjoys it WAY too much and I still think it
sounds rather corny somewhat. At least they got to show UY in Italy.

Haven't heard it myself, though I do have a T-shirt (poorly made, I might
add!)

Might have to go have a dig for it. However I know that the Italians have
quite an appetite for Lum, amongst others...

Oh man I've seen plenty! I could give you websites to check out, but I
don't feel like looking them up right now, it's best if you good a
google search for this Italian term, "Cartoni Animati", that is your key
to explore a sample of the many anime that has crepted on TV down there
over the years!

(I only wish I was there, I think my grandma visited Italy once or twice
but I don't think she'd ever saw any of it. Whenever I go to her house
there would always be this National Geographic map of the Italian
pennisula on the wall in the kitchen)

Even if they tried their best to do a faithful translation with
little or no censorship, it would have been butchered. UY is an
increadibly hard series to translate.

That's only half the problem. UY uses an awful lot of puns and cultural
references that, even translated, don't make any sense to non-Japanese
folk.

AnimEigo got around it by supplying copious notes on them, but for TV
shows, this is impractical.

Viz tried to get around it by changing the joke completely or, at very
least, altering it to something vaguely humorous in English, but that
didn't work all the time either. You could add extra titles explaining
each reference, but some of these would probably cover the entire screen!

Even Ranma suffered in places from cultural and linguistic dificulties in
the translation (the one I always remember is "Pan da, kotchi mo panda!
Nanchatte!" - Tofu to Genma in panda form during the "Bread Feud",
apologies if I got the romanji wrong - which is hilarious in Japanese (er,
yes) but makes no sense in English).

I was surprised when I first heard that the Beeb had tried this. I knew
they had re-subbed Akira (and made a damn good job of it, especially
compared with the first attempts I saw that came from Streamline which
were often barely readable) and WoH, but UY seemed an odd choice given its
content and translation difficulties. I hope I get to see it one day, if
only to get an idea about how they handled these difficulties (I'm
otherwise perfectly happy with the original product!) ^_^

Rather quite interesting given the success anime/manga like this has in
other countries.

In print it works to have those linear notes or sidenotes to what is
said in the stories, though on the boob tube, it's a different matter
when you'd have having to pause the screen every now and then to watch
it.

The official Viz subtitled release rendered this as "It's bread. --and
you're the breadwinner.", which IMO falls flat, but is at least a solid
attempt to handle it cleanly (a more literal rendering would be "It's
bread. --and you're also a panda.", which works in French but not in
English).

Speaking of Viz, Ranma and random translation things, may I say that I
was rather surprised with one early episode to find that the translators
had actually *added* a horse joke to the title? (Which works only if you
know what Ranma's name means from elsewhere, since they AFAIK don't
mention that at all in the official release... but is still a good point
in my book.)

True, but UY is unusually endowed with large numbers of them. Not that
every episode is packed with cultural inexplicables, but you do get them.

The British Broadcasting Corporation has been known by a few nicknames
over the years, its official abbreviation, the BBC, often being used as a
target, hence the Beeb (also the Beeb Beeb Ceeb, according to Peter
Sellars). A slight addition to this gave us "Auntie Beeb", which is where
the show title "Aunties' Bloomers" is derived (a BBC outtake show hosted
by Terry Wogan).

UY is something like a Japanese version of the Simpsons, I
remember hearing that the Simpsons is very hard to translate well.

ISTR Lum was all they did. They did a sub of their own for Akira and WoH,
but most anime tends to air on the other channels, and tends to use the
translations and dubs/subs of whoever supplies it.

There are new services being put online on the satellite services by
various channels. It's a cheap way of providing a text backup for various
shows, etc. and it doesn't require extra decoding by the STB (most sets
here can receive and decode teletext directly). Some of the bigger
companies are running down their services (BBC's CEEFAX can only be seen
in full terrestrially, the service being replaced by the BBCi service -
which sucks IMO, ITV is also going that way, and Sky only provide limited
services for certain users with the old SkyText service).

So was the Animaniacs, but in each case they were laughing at the
non-cultural stuff. Why does, for example, Red Dwarf have such a following
in the US, considering the amount of UK cultural references it has?

The difference is that, in UY, some of the episodes depend heavily on your
knowledge of a specific Japanese reference. It's easy enough for us here
(well, most of us) to understand, for example, the references to such
things as setsubun in relation to Benten etc., or we might know what a
shrike is and what it does, but the average farty out there doesn't.

As long as there is enough to keep them laughing without worrying about
such things, there's no problem, but there are some episodes of UY where
that just doesn't happen.

Because there is enough in each episode of the Simpsons to sustain the

have fallen flat on their faces because of extended cultural references.

You can blame Trish Ledoux for that!

Though it's not as bad as a number of countries that did took a crack at
even dubbing the theme songs too. In Italy, they too the first series
OP theme and made both an opening and closing theme out of it, using
different lyrics (uniquely sung by a boy and girl duo).

Well I just got the DVD last month, and it changed my life forever
(maybe)!

Heh, at least you can watch that. I'm still waiting to upgrade my
pirated copies once the DVD will come out over here.

so perhaps this week it is time to roll it out again!

You should!

One of these days I should try to make my own garage video. ^_^

You could add extra titles explaining
each reference, but some of these would probably cover the entire screen!

I seem to remember even AnimEigo just giving up entirely on one scene,
simply translating the TV announcer's monologue literally, with a
supertitle reading "(Incredibly bad untranslatable puns)".

IIRC this was in the episode where they built that weird fossil out of
spare parts, which Ten then brought to life with one of his gadgets.

Sounds about right, though I haven't got that ep. (*sigh* one day I'll

Even if they tried their best to do a faithful translation with
little or no censorship, it would have been butchered. UY is an
increadibly hard series to translate.

And of course showing it subtitled is out of the question!!!!
*SHAKES FIST*

Subtitling the show wouldn't have helped with the all-important,
series-setting-up, episode #1, where Ataru wins the game of tag by
tearing Lum's bikini top off. North American TV censors get pretty
riled up about scenes like that one, and you *can't* cut it without
making the pilot episode incomprehensible...

Damn, that is true. That would have been a huge deal, especially 20 years
ago. However if they had gone ahead and done it maybe now no one would
be whining about what Janet Jackson did.

There's a great deal of difference between Janet Jackson's boob and Lum's.

Lum is far more attractive, for one... ^_^

I didn't think about that until about a week after the
super bowl controversy, but I grew up watching
Lum and other anime once a week. I mean even
in Doreamon they show Shinobu chan in the shower
and bath and I have a Doreamon movie where this
gaijin esque girl who controls giant robots is fully
nude. Also there was the bathing with my
yochien(kindergarden) sensei to consider. So
I was around nudity a lot in Japan tweny years
ago and no one freaked out, but in the US you
flash a saggin boob with some awful ring thing
on it and people freak out. I mean it wasn't
even a nice looking booby. No offense to
Janet Jackson fans. I was kind of offended
by what Janet did at first until I thought about
it in the context of my own life. Then I started
to think it was hypocritical of me to be offended
by it. I dunno, its weird how different certain
parts of the world's sensitivities are. I mean in the
US DOA Volleyball gets the same rating as a game
like Silent Hill or GTA3. I don't think DOA Volleyball
has anything that could be bad for a child, but Silent
Hill or GTA3 really do. Maybe because I grew up
in Japan I find graphic violence to be worse than
scantily clad girls.

Great you're a Stern fan. I used to be back when a radio station
offered his show in my town 7-8 years back. I would listen to it before
I had to go to colllege or when I happen to be up that morning, or I'd
tape it and listen to it later (somehow it has become a thing for those
hardcore Stern fans to record the whole show on their HiFi VCRs in the
EP mode to save a whole day's program, too bad I didn't have a HiFi VCR
then, or a decent radio reciever, so I had to record mine on the stereo
on 120 minute cassettes). I also watched the E! show whenever I had the
time, and even the later syndie version that was seen on my cable
company's own channel (being a WB affilate too). Then the radio station
decided to play "f__k the viewers" and took Stern off, with some lame
statement that they weren't get any good ratings for the mornings and
replaced him with some local guy who probably didn't rake in the bucks
they could've spent on just carrying Stern.

So to make a long story short, I'm probably not much of a Stern fan
anymore, I think I pawned off my sealed copy of the Private Parts VHS
tape I won from my same radio station in a contest (I have a bootleg of
the workprint, and that has more than what you can get on the DVD!) and
I don't hardly watch the E! show at all, as I find myself still craving
Stern afterwards, and it kills me (both emotionally and internally). I
just blame living in Toledo for that!

There is a station in Detroit that offers it, but it comes in like s__t
on my bedroom stereo anyway.

I guess I felt luckier to have it on the radio. Too bad he works for
Viacom, if they had any brain, they'd put the show online somehow. I
wouldn't mind paying so much a month to watch a webcast of it every
morning or something. They could pretty much use the E! cameras and the
audio from the radio station that can be heard during it, though for the
ad breaks, they can always go to the audio of the studio while we see
the guys setting up or leaving and all. Would've been a great idea, but
sadly knowbody cares for my ideas!

You should! My favorite part in the whole movie is when he gets some
chick to go nude during his show and he ask her to give him a massage,
while the WNBC executive (Pig Vomit) orders the show to be cut off,
forcing Howard to use force!

Heheheh!

Actually Stern's show is being produced through a rradio station that's
owned by Infinity Broadcasting, but Infinity is owned by Viacom for a
number of years now (or it was through CBS, I'm not sure). I just don't
like the kind of conglomeration that occurs like this. The same goes
for the movie theatres in my town as they're all Viacom-dominated
through their own privately-owned "National Amusements", we used to have
a few other chains once in the past, bu today it's all different.

I would, but it's hard for me to do so since I'm only one person, and I
don't have the kind of money to actually use in th is cause as well.
It's like being the idiot who calls up the local cable company
periodically and ask for this channel to be added. Lord knows it has
took me some 5 years before my cable company added "International
Channel", but then I don't hardly watch it anyway!

I think so. Incidentally when I was in a college film class, I actually
brought in a tape of Private Parts where I showed this and the "Match
Game" scene to the other students there, mainly to show the style of
editing that was put into the shots of each scene and how I favored
them. Typically I don't remember what I migth've said that day, but I
had a lot of fun going up to the projection booth and running the VCRs
to show 'em!

Sad when that happened.

If I had my way, I'd love to find a way to listen to the show through
any illegitimate ways. I've heard there have been people in Toronto
that waste their phone bills on just calling their friends elsewhere in
Canada, and have them listen to the show my having the phone up at the
radio speaker during the broadcast! I wish Viacom would rot in hell one

Damn - This is an old thread. I don't think that many people remember the dub version. In fact, I doubt many people, other than us Really Old Farts, remember the series at all. It's still my all time favourite, but that's just me. I've got the Warner Brothers Japan Blu-Ray collections, but they are in Japanese only. (And even they are pretty old now.)

Your best bet is to search the various Anime Bit Torrent sites in case someone has posted torrents of the dubs. One never knows, anything is possible on the Net.

And of course showing it subtitled is out of the question!!!!
*SHAKES FIST*

Subtitling the show wouldn't have helped with the all-important,
series-setting-up, episode #1, where Ataru wins the game of tag by
tearing Lum's bikini top off. North American TV censors get pretty
riled up about scenes like that one, and you *can't* cut it without
making the pilot episode incomprehensible...

Yes, yes and I said it would have made it so what Janet Jackson did
was no big deal.

Even if they tried their best to do a faithful translation with
little or no censorship, it would have been butchered. UY is an
increadibly hard series to translate.

And of course showing it subtitled is out of the question!!!!
*SHAKES FIST*

But isn't that still a translation?
Or do you just want the audio in Japanese?

IIRC, when Kitty Film was shopping the show to
US companies in the '80s, this was the 'offical'
International title...altho I recall seeing it as the
more familar 'Lum the Invader Girl'

Too bad no American company picked it up,
although being the 80's they probably would have
butchered the show anyway.

Heh, yet I know one guy that really enjoys the theme to the Italian
version of this one (kinda come off reminded me of any DIC cartoon of
the '80s the way it was done, though I don't know what kind of edits
there were to their version)..
