Leaving the honourifics in annoys me and just sounds very wapanese.
And @Ronin: I don't see anything wrong with localizing "baka" as "bug off" in certain contexts. Sometimes it's the better translation.

Then there's so much you're losing in the translation, especially if you're also trying to match syllables to lips...
WHATEVS BRO I ROLL IT SUBS ANYWAY

Reminds me of my sister's BF who hates 300 for not being 100% historically accurate.
300.
Honestly, now.
He was also trying to tell me everything that was wrong about the architecture while we were watching Prince of Persia.
He's a history geek, too, btw. He has a thing for middle-eastern culture and history.

God, Kino. I don't even want to HEAR how much you hate Mulan then....
As for "Bug off" vs "Baka/Idiot" I think Bug off not only fit the context a little better and made it more accessible for english speakers but :3 I found it far more hillarious.

I like Mulan, but that's like 99% because of the song "I'll Make a Man out You"
....fuck that song is awesome. And, c'mon, he knows her as Ping and sees her ONCE as a woman and THEN decides to pursue her?! THERE IS SO MUCH POTENTIAL THERE you know he totally loved Ping and wanted to boink that skinny little boy-soldier but then, lo, turns out he's a she...
WHAT DONT LOOK AT ME LIKE THAT
also it is based on a legend and Disney actually made it horribly sexist; the original story is all about gender equality. lol disney.
As for the 300; shut the fuck up that shit was awesome
it's a story of the legend, as told by the victors, so naturally everything's all wonky
PLUS FUCK YOU SPARTANS ARE GODDAMN AWESOME
