- "Blind Idiot" Translation: The quote mentioned above is likely a case of this: several fansubs translated the infamous "wonderland" with "inner world" and "outer worlds" respectively, which makes a helluva more lot of sense and doesn't sound half as cheesy.
- The fansubs themselves were at fault here, actually. The kanji used for ikai, 異界, translate directly to "strange world"—"Wonderland" is both more appropriate and ADV's attempt at a Western cultural reference.
My own thoughts? Wonderland is far more evocative than "Inner World", and works well with its fairly insane nature.
Yes or no? Did this series have a Gainax Ending?
