Marvin's line 🍌🐠
Some time ago, @blak-rabbit drew my attention to the differences between the first and second English translation of the manga, so I decided to share one of the points we have discussed.
Back when Viz's Pulp Manga Magazine was funtional Yuji Oniki was the translator for Banana Fish (up to volume 7). After 2004 Matt Thorn and Carl Gustav Horn took over the job and they did the translation once again from the beginning.
A comparison of one frame from volume 1 will show that both the translations and the anime adaptation might have aimed to make the characters queer, bending the original text to this narrative.
In the original scene, Gregory has just scolded Marvin for failing to behave like an adult in front of a boy, that is, for being easily provoked by Ash when Marvin says:
いいや... ガキだからってかんべんからねえ...
"No... Just because he's a brat doesn't mean it's excusable...
ちくしょう
Damn it!
ヤロウいつも人をコケにしやがって!
You jerk are always making a fool out of me!
いつかあいつの細っこい首 ねじ折ってやる.
Someday I'm gonna break that thin little neck of his."
(Translation is mine)
Now, let's give a look at the translations.
Yuji Oniki's translation (left to right):
Tumblr media
Between the two I prefer this one, though it isn't without flaws:
1. "With my bare hands" Is just a pointless addiction.
2. It's true that Marvin says "people"「人」 there, but before that sentence there are two swear words that are omitted: "chikushou" and "yarou", Marvin isn't explaining something to Gregory, he is angry at being taken lightly by Ash, even though he says "people", he's talking about himself.
Now, let's see Matt Thorn and Carl Gustav Horn's translation (right to left):
Tumblr media
Let's open another can of worms!
1. Yarou / ヤロウ / 野郎 is a typical shounen manga swear to address male characters, it cannot be read as an equivalent of "effeminate" or the likes. How it seems to have become a "queer"'s neck?
2. Hosokkoi/ 細っこい isn't just a descriptive term. Ash's neck being thin means that it is delicate and beautiful, not just weak. Even in his anger Marvin can't help appreciating Ash's beauty, so it makes no sense for the translator to add the word "worthless". Why? Why?
3. As this translation erases the part about Marvin being ridiculed by Ash's behaviour, the readers don't get how personal this is to Marvin. Here it seems that Marvin just generally dislikes how Ash plays innocent like a kid. This is not what Ash has done in that scene. Ash was looking down on Marvin, talking to him as if he was his master's son. "Good job giving me a lift here, no need to accompany me back" is how you speak to your employees. Ash was reminding Marvin that now he is above him.
Finally, let's look at the anime:
このガキ ちくしょう!
Tumblr media
This would actually translate into "That brat, damn it!"
Like in many other occasions the script is shortened, and it is usually flavourless when they are not Ash's or Eiji’s lines.
The animators decided to make Marvin swear. They kept "chikushou" and "gaki"(kid/brat) but got rid of "yarou". In the manga Marvin calls Ash "brat" as a reaction to Gregory's words, but since Gregory and the other bodyguard aren't in the anime scene this line sounds weird there. The point in Marvin's line was that they shouldn't treat him like a kid, because Ash is actually a "yarou" (bastard/ jerk). Talking to himself, Marvin wouldn't ever call Ash a brat with a dismissive tone, this wouldn't convey his anger well. Plus, erasing "yarou", the animators avoided defining Ash as "male".
Thanks to NegtvaNetie_1935 for his inputs as well!

Grateful that none of the AU/behind the scenes Banana Fish art I see ever includes Golzine or Marvin
No amount of fluff or Actor AU can humanize those two, sorry 😂

Aside from Buck and Bucky, who is your favorite friend pair on the show?
This is the first of the war fandom shows to be streaming service specific (I believe) on AppleTV. Did you watch each week? Did you wait until it all aired and watched at once? Did you share with a friend?

Who is the most underrated character?
Do you have a favorite quote from the show? If so, what is it?
Who do you want to be your best friend?
Which storyline did you enjoy the most?
Do you think they covered enough in the amount of episodes, or should there have been more?
Who would you not let date your friend/sibling/etc?
If you could have a show about one of the characters after the war, who would it be?
Which MotA character would you want to meet in person? Either the actor, or real life person.
Rate the show 1-5 stars, and tell us why!
If there was anything you wish could have been included, what would it be?
This show wasn’t produced or made in partner with HBO. Do you feel there was a difference in production? If so, did it make it better or worse?
If I missed anything, let me know! Thank you @itstheheebiejeebies for the encouragement and help always ❤️

An Unusual Anthology Collects Hits from 1957, plus Marvin Gaye and Diane Hubka Most multi-artist anthologies embrace some sort of cohesive musical theme, such as a focus on a particular genre or the work of a certain performer or composer. That’s not the case with American Bandstand US Top 100, 5th August 1957. This four-CD set simply collects the singles that appeared on Billboard’s pop chart…

Due to my last post being a platonic yandere playlist featuring a few characters I like, I've decided to compile a small list of songs here for each character I mentioned! Now, some may feature songs that can be anything from wild to dark to fluffy. But all of it is about that character in particular, or their (platonic) relationship to their bby (a.k.a. the reader, you!). And this is just my opinion. So, if you headcanon different songs for them, that is a-okay👍 We are here to have fun and enjoy platonic yanderes; no need for any arguments. Let's begin (p.s. everyone gets a Christmas song. You can imagine it either fitting them, being sung by them, or you and them singing/listening to it together):

At The Disco, Moves Like Jagger by Maroon 5, Unholy by Kim Petras and Sam Smith, I Bet My Life by Imagine Dragons, Royals by Lorde, Partners in Crime by Set It Off... 🌌 Silent Night by (anyone, really)🌌

And that is all for now! I spent about 10-11 hours on this. All of these songs I have listened to/heard before. The pairings are just my opinion. If you disagree, that is okay. Just don't bring any arguments here. These playlists are all PLATONIC yandere ONLY. No romance, no sex! Now, yes, some songs are sexual, or intimate. But they are meant by me to be platonic in this playlist, or to show a part of the character who they are paired with. The playlist can describe the platonic yan's relationship to their bby, the yandere themself, or even just songs that fit their personality/theme/tone! If you want to make a playlist on a music app or whatever there is, you can do so, just give credit to me for putting the songs together. The rest of your video/playlist/creation is yours. Here is a very thoroughly thought out honeycomb thought!

"I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That)" is a song written by Jim Steinman, and recorded by Meat Loaf with Lorraine Crosby. The single was released from the album Bat Out of Hell II: Back into Hell and was a commercial success, reaching #1 in the US on October 14, 1993 as well as charting in 27 other countries.  The song earned Meat Loaf a Grammy.
The last six verses feature Crosby, who was credited only as "Mrs. Loud" in the album notes. She does not appear in the music video, in which her vocals are lip-synched by Dana Patrick.   The video was directed by Michael Bay and was based on Beauty and the Beast and The Phantom of the Opera.
Meat Loaf (born Marvin Aday) claimed that the question, "What is 'that'?" was one of the most popular questions he would be asked after the song came out. In his 1998 VH1 Storytellers special, he explained it on stage using a blackboard and a pointer.  Meat Loaf believed that the lyrics were unambiguous, and noted that each verse identifies things the man would do for love (such as "I'd run right into Hell and back"), followed by a promise of something he won’t do (such as "I'll never forget the way you feel right now"). This is followed by the title lyrics, which repeat the pattern. Each mention of "that" is thus a reference to the particular promise made earlier in the same verse.
When the COVID-19 pandemic began in 2020, he initially claimed the virus was a hoax and vocally campaigned against mask wearing, sometimes singing the refrain of his song, “I won’t do that.”  When the vaccine came out later in the year he once again used those lyrics to say he would not get a shot.  At the end of 2021 he caught the virus and was hospitalized; he passed away January 20, 2022.
