Title: ラムー対バルゴン」 !!
Post by: GiovaneDinamitardo on April 17, 2012, 10:36:11 PM
hi hi hi, how many of you came here to see what mean those ideograms ?

Maybe is a new OVA ?
An unedit episode ?
An unedit chapter ?
A new doujinshin ?

Well, the translation could be "LAMU' - THE FINAL BATTLE" and could be misunderstood with a new game for PS3 or X-box.

BUT ....

... in how many ways can you translate ラム ?

Well, let's see how many of you are able to "solve" this stupid mistery 

:mrgreen:

Google Translate  says it's "Ramu to Barugon "!"
Lum The Final Battle would look like this in Japanese
最後の戦いをラム

Also it's LUM not Lamu. I have a friend in Japan who lives in Osaka and it's Lum not Lamu or Ramu. The "U" is generally silent in most Japanese words.
Like Desu you do not pronounce the "U" Some dialects might pronounce it or small children but it's silent.
You never see it typed out as anything other than LUM when you look at official merchandise or CD's or anything.

OK, Uncle Gio, while I would not call this game "stupid" I have to say that I fail to understand the premise of it

PLIN PLON: TIME IS OVER !!

I thank everyone for their participation in solving this stupid riddle.

All right, lets' begin.

The main question was: "in how many ways can you translate ラム ?"

Let's see:

- LUM
- RUM
- LAMU
- LAMU' (this one I think just in Italy)
- RAMU
- RA-MU

RA-MU....RA-MU....
mmmmh

Let's go in deep...

SHE is Lamù

Ladies and gentlemen, HERE YOU ARE RA-MU

(http://www.animeclick.it/images/Anime_big/MobyDick5/MobyDick515.jpg)

OH YES, IS A MAN !!!

Oh, well: Ladies and gentlemen, THIS IS RA-MU TOO

(http://img139.imageshack.us/img139/5189/locandinadduqy0.jpg)

YES, IT'S A WHALE !!!

ムーの白鯨 (Mū no Hakugei, "Mu's whale") it's an anime broadcast in 1980 !

The plot in brief: 30,000 years ago the empire of Atlantis attempted to conquer the world but that of Mu opposed; rather than launch a bloody counter-Ra-Mu, Mu sovereign, unleashed a tremendous final weapon, which dematerialized the continent of Atlantis, knocking him into space, light years away from earth.

After all that time, however, Atlantis came back in orbit around the earth but Ra-Mu still had anticipated this eventuality and had made ​​sure that 5 of his most valiant warriors resurrected to fight the enemy, aided by the magnificent white whale wheel.

This anime has intrigued me for two reasons: first because, after 30 years, I could see the ending, the latter because I have hit both the ideograms and the original pronunciation of "RA-MU".

 ATARU CALLS OUR BELOVED ALIEN IN THE SAME WAY: "RA-MU" !!!

Here you are the main characters:

TAKE A LOOK AT THIS ONE

The child who is the boy's shoulder seems to be a carbon copy of Ten!
Into the anime is always naked, has a little horn in the head that allow him to fly !!

By the way: no one noticed that this is the forum section titled "OTHER ANIME" ?!?  :mrgreen:

ps
It's spelled Mystery there is no "i" in mystery.  :police:

Oh my Gooooooood ....

My english still remains so poor  :-[  :'(

Hmm, the answers to this enigma seemed to make some sense in one way or another but I am afraid I am kinda confused

Anyhow, good game (I think), Uncle Gio, and do not worry too much about thy grammar, we all have our flaws

Oh, thank you very much for your words, MY KING  :hehe  ;)

Let's face it: I was curious to see how many would come here after seeing the ideograms "ラム"

A bit like throwing a tasty bait into a lake full of fish  :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
