Shingeki no Kyojin being translated as Attack on Titan. Lrn2Japanese

Not as bad as Bridget L Satellizer that was born in England from Freezing being translated as Satellizer L Bridget instead and her entire family getting the Bridget last name because whoever wrote it was too stupid to understand Western naming conventions.

Serious dun goofing on their part.

Well, it's just the official English name used by the original author. For all we know, it might not be intended to be a direct translation at all, and is supposed to mean pretty much the exact opposite of the Japanese title. That's why subbers use it.

Though it could also just be that the author is very bad at English, yeah.

It should be Titans Advance I'd imagine, that or Giants Advance. Something like that... probably titans. Or I guess it could be Titans Attack.

Literally means Advancing Titans. The most sensible English title would be Attack of the Titans.

They speak of El Bridget family in the anime in Jap Dub too though...

Because we can!

It's not a translation issue. As I said, it's because whoever wrote it was too stupid to understand Western naming conventions.

Fuck.  I deliberately went out last night to run all of my weekend errands so that I could do yardwork this morning before it got hot today.  I've been awake 20 minutes now, went an opened the blinds in the kitchen, and without warning the rain just started hammering down.  Guess I'll have to decide on a plan B.
It took an hour to write; I figured it'd take an hour to read.

Minus deleted a very large quantity of my non-NSFW pictures. I am also in WTF mode. I moved to ImgBox for now but I gotta set-up everything all again ...

People blindly saying "LOVE YOU COUNTRY" even though it never did anything for me.

Well Tiffanys' pic 'was' slightly NSFW so I guess it makes sense...

Actually, never mind her first name, I wouldn't expect someone from England to have Satellizer as their surname either tbh. I guess an American might make sense, since you lot all seem to have weird surnames, but I highly doubt an English family would ever be called Satellizer.

I still don't get how it's the translations fault, just the author's.

Those binoculars which are pretty much just kids' stuff. more like a magnifying glass. I wonder where to get real ones, the ones in animes/movies.

hobby shops and military sites(tourist).
you could even get ones with real night-vision.

edit: why do you need one though? rather just get one if this:
