I was thinking about my original objectives, wondering if I had suc- ceeded to accomplish all that I wanted to do. More importantly, I was wondering if the magazine was Issue #92 (May / June 2007) fulfilling the expectations of our readers? In the beginning, Protoculture Addicts was simply a fanzine and all I wanted was to have fun and share my E d i t o r i a l S t a f f enthusiasm for anime. After a few years, around issue #16, I decided to dedicate myself full-time to the Publisher / Advertising magazine. I didn’t want to do an entertaining magazine, but a magazine about entertainment. I wanted it to be a professional magazine that approached the subject seriously, without being a dry and austere aca- Christopher Macdonald [CM] ( [email protected] ) demic publication. I wanted it to be informative, like a Time Magazine for anime, and yet still reflect our enthusiasm for the subject. I wanted the readers to discover the multiple facets of anime, introduce them to Editor-in-chief / Production Manager as many titles as possible, and make them not only appreciate its entertainment value, but also reflect on Claude J. Pelletier [CJP] the richness and depth that can be found in some anime. I wanted a magazine that would be simple and ( [email protected] ) accessible both in its content and look. It was not always easy to conciliate all those aspects. Managing Editor Of course, if you ask the average fans what kind of magazine they want, they’d tell you they want a 200-page Zac Bertschy [ZB] free magazine, stacked with poster and DVD inserts, that will keep them informed about all the new anime Associate Editor shows even before they air in Japan! That’s a level of expectations that obviously no magazines could meet. Bamboo Dong [BD] A print magazine (which is usually monthly or bimonthly) cannot compete with the internet to offer up-to- Contributing Editor / Translator date news about the latest anime series—that’s the job of websites like Anime News Network—so we don’t Miyako Matsuda [MM] even try to keep up with the latest shows in Japan. I believe that most sensible fans simply want intelligent and balanced reporting and that’s exactly what we are trying to provide. We could have removed the news Assistant Editor section entirely (why duplicate the excellent work of ANN?), but we must not forget that PA is read by a Valérie Cools [VC] large variety of different people, so we kept a reduced news coverage (as well as the list of DVD and manga Interns releases) for the readers who are not heavy internet users and would rather get their news from a print Natalie Khor, Steven Thach, Gary Thompson magazine. For those who read the news online, we tried to make the news more interesting by offering a more condensed and analytical format where we present the most important news of the moment with a C o n t r i b u t i n g W r i t e r s commentary that places them in perspective. Jason Green, Brian Hanson, Carl Kimlinger [CK], In a similar way, the “Anime Story” section was originally designed to provide background information and Briana Lawrence [BL], Theron Martin [TM], Carlo Santos [CS], Justin Sevakis synopses in order to help readers understand the stories of the anime series they were watching “raw” (in Japanese only). In those days, that was usually how fans were watching anime in club meetings. Of course, L a y o u t that type of article was made obsolete with the greater availabilitySample of commercial releases file in English and large internet distribution of fansubs. Over time, the Anime Stories have evolved, and now they simply Claude J. Pelletier, Istvan Pusztai (cover, 14-29) introduce readers to new anime titles (not necessarily the most recent), giving a quick overview of the story, some background information (character profiles, cast & staff, etc.), as well as a short review. How- C o v e r ever, we always try to give those articles a spin, a special touch. We don’t want to write the same type of Provided by ADV Films. Le Chevalier D’Eon simple plot synopses that anybody can read in every anime blog. We always try to see an anime or movie © Tow Ubukata • Production I.G. / Project Chevalier 2006. under a different angle, where we not only tell the readers what we found interesting in that particular title, but also what else we could learn through it or what type of reflection it can initiate. We want the readers to, S p e c i a l T h a n k s like us, try to see beyond the entertainment value of a specific title. It does not always work well, but at least Jason Alnas, Anne Armogida, Jeff Bowring, Bob that’s what we are trying to do. Brown, Kevin J. Carney, Evelyn Dubocq, Susan All in all, I think we succeeded in meeting and keeping the original objectives of the magazine. I am quite Hale, Lance Heiskell, Erik Jansen, Bill Lai, Osamu satisfied with it. The magazine has high-quality content and, with the essential support of Anime News Maseba, Chris Oarr, Peter Payne, Tamara Shumate, Eddie Stemkowski, and Richard Tong. Network, have finally obtained an enjoyable and more colorful look. However, there’s always more work to do. Recently, Anime News Network ran a poll asking their readers “Do you read PA?” and from the results How To Reach Us I am drawing two conclusions. First, 30% of the respondents said they were not reading PA either because they felt it was not interesting for them or because they were simply not reading any print magazines P.O. Box 143, Station B (favoring the internet instead). Unfortunately, no matter how hard we try, we cannot please everyone. But Montreal, QC, Canada, H3B 3J5 we will continue to work harder and hopefully they will eventually try the magazine and like it. Secondly, P.O. Box 507 50% of the respondents said they don’t know the magazine or can’t find it easily. Despite our success, we ○○○○○○○○ Champlain, NY 12919-0507, USA are still reaching only a fraction of our potential readership and therefore we must also work harder in www.protoculture-mag.com promoting the magazine.

  • CHARACTER VOICE in ANIME SUBTITLES Peter Howell, Hiroshima Prefectural University, Japan [email protected]
    292 CHARACTER VOICE IN ANIME SUBTITLES Peter Howell, Hiroshima Prefectural University, Japan [email protected] Abstract One of the main functions of dialogue in film narrative is the construction of character voice, which is partly realized through the skillful use of the sociolinguistic and pragmatic resources of language. In the English subtitling of Japanese animation, there are however two barriers to recreating this function. The first barrier is the major pragmatic and sociolinguistic difference between Japanese and English, and the second consists of the technical constraints of subtitling as a mode of translation. The article describes from a textual point of view how subtitlers have addressed the stylistic problem of character voice, focusing on the work of Neil Nadelman in the film Grave of the Fireflies (“Hotaru no Haka”) and in single episodes from two TV series, Revolutionary Girl Utena (“Shōjo Kakumei Utena”) and Slayers Try (“Sureiyāzu Torai”), and on the work of David Fleming in the film Akira (“Akira”). For all four works, another commercially available subtitled version, either in English or French, is considered for purposes of comparison. Comparison suggests that strategies vary with regard to character voice, but that the decimation of stylistic function is not inevitable in subtitling as a mode of translation. Key words: Anime subtitles; character voice; compensatory procedures. Introduction Sarah Kozloff’s study, Overhearing Film Dialogue (Kozloff 2000), indicates in its title the dual-layered pragmatic context of dialogue in film. Within the inner pragmatic layer of the film, dialogue is addressed primarily to other characters, but in the context of the outer layer it is addressed to an “overhearing” audience to fulfill narrative functions within the overall semiotic design of film as a work of art.
