Yikes, it's been like what, aeons since I've posted here? I bet that most of you wouldn't have noticed that tho :sweat: . Hey ho minna~
pearleen~ :glomp: *glomps
your post reminds me abt the weirdness of subbed jdorama boxes sold at our respective countries.
The last time I went to Kotaraya(jdorama haven) when dunadan was down here in Malaysia. There I found a few diff versions of VCD boxes(around 4 or 5) and maybe one or two DVD boxes for Hana Yori Dango. These diff versions' prices vary from somewhere around RM12 to RM25(the VCDs). The prices aren't the only thing that boggled my mind~ it was the titles. I discovered so many different ways they try to translate the titles. One or two of the versions used "Hana Yori Dango", and then there's also one with "Meteor Garden". And get this~ there's also one version with the title "Lake Over Misty Water" :shocked: or something. The funniest thing was that the kanji that was accompanying the translated title is still the original one.The Japanese kanji and Chinese character can't be that different, can they? Or they just thought it's interesting to completely change the title? :rofl: Dun-chan bought one of the VCD box, but I think she got the one titled "Hana Yori Dango", and good thing she baited her relatives with it. :thumbsup:
Out of Topic~ "Nobuta wo Produce" was found translated as "The Ambulance" in one of the VCD version. Who would have thought jdorama stores can be some sort of comic relief? I had a fine time laughing in the shops. :hehe:
:glomp: dalineeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
:rofl: "Lake over misty waters?!" :twisted: :doh:
btw where is kotaraya~? i wanna go therE!!! :puppydog:
yeah.. there's always pricing difference. haiz. so far, i've only seen e DVD HYD. Maybe my eyes were filled w fire so i didnt watch out for any VCD. :mrgreen:

Hey minna,
Recently, i've been getting some pms and emails from friends here in jdorama... regarding the downloads thread in my forum. So i'll ans it here ne? Gomen for going so off-topic
Basically, i've got 3 downloads thread in the forum.
The first is open to guests and all members. All members are allowed to make requests here..
The second is open to all members who meet min. requirement of 10 posts. Members can choose to make requests here too. Files uploaded here (other than answering requests) are those which r uploaded volunteerily by members who only wishes to share w members who meet the min. requirement. So far, this dl thread is slightly more active than the general dls thread.
The last one is called exclusive downloads board. It is different because the only requirement is to be a member and asking for access. Usually e files uploaded will be a complete series in a shot etc. This is a new board with our current project DNA which we're completing the series soon.
Other benefits by being member with participation is that e arashian, other than gaining access to restricted dls thread, will also gain access to other goodies such as pic/wallpapers/mag scans and translations.
sry for spamming jdorama w these~ :bow: :sweat:
