As insensitive as it might be, one of my most favorite things in the universe is Engrish; Amusingly sincere mutations of the English language which usually originate from Asian countries. What can I say? I just find it funny. Here is a bizarre piece of Astro Boy related Engrish I just stumbled upon. This "Tokyo Atom" T-shirt may or may not be an official product but is officially awesome in the Engrish department.
ASTRO BOY is a miraculous snncr(?) rober(!) with the worlds! Wow! I though I knew a lot about anime, but that's a new one to me. A provocative message, to be sure.

Lol! This peculiar writing bears resemblance with the subs of the pirated 2003 DVDs. 'Robot' becomes 'Rober', and 'Super' becomes 'Snncr'.
ReplyDeleteOfficial or not, I too think it's funny! :-D
Ahh, so that's what it was trying to say! I couldn't figure out what "snncr" is supposed to be, and it was especially hard since one of the letters is covered by Astro's hair. I can sort of see, in an abstract way, how Robot becomes Rober, but snncr? That just ain't right.
