Let me tell you a little secret, guys: I am somewhat of an anime fan. While I can’t profess to be an expert in the field, I’ve still enjoyed shows like Samurai Champloo, Neon Genesis Evangelion and Hellsing numerous times.
But while I have watched a bit of anime in my day, I’ve never really encountered any of the super crazy plot lines you sometimes hear about. Which means I’ve never read any screencaps quite like the ones below. Click here for an interesting collection of lines that are either mistranslated, taken out of context or just strange!
Accidental or not, these captions had me giggling like a madman. Head over to the source to see even more hilarity, but be warned: some of it is NSFW! [via Buzzfeed]
What do you think of these? Which one is funniest?

Ahh fan-translations. Also going from literal language-to-language. I had a few friends in an online game who put “Fuck Warlocks” through a translator, English-to-French, then back to English, and end up taking the resultant “Magicians of Kisses”as their moniker. Though some of these are just great fake translations, Hen Zemi (second row, third from left)… is just… wow. Best of luck with that.

“I’ll now proceed to pleasure myself with this fish.” Instant classic.

yay another anime/manga lover here! and samurai champloo is my all time fav!, although who else agrees with me that evangelion is a little overrated?

I can’t help but throw in this classic one: “People die if they are killed…”
