I just watched two scenes of Monty Python and the Holy Grail....IN JAPANESE! The translation is soooo bad. Instead of "I blow my nose at you, you English pig dog!" it says "I throw my runny nose at you English dog". They completely skip the best line in the movie! Your mother was a hampster and your father smelt of elderberries! I wonder now if all those sad people in Japan will ever like Monty Python....the humor just gets lost in translation!

The only reason they chose Japanese is because in the computer game you have to find the samuri helmet and place it in the Black Knights's tent to get to the end of the game, then they show you the fight scene in Japanese.

The translations are a bit off, in reality. For example, the Japanese do have a word for 'shrubbery' and it's -not- 'bonsai'. There is humour in teh Japanese. Can't think of it off teh top of my head though. I'll get back to you on that. =_=; Might have to pester Yuuka.

As for the game... o rly?! Remind me to buy that then!

I just want to watch the show without reading the subtitles just to compare between the English and Japanese versions.

The weird thing about the Helmet is that you get it from the Castle Loimbard.
