Hi
I was watching a funsub of the current running series "mantek Loki ragnorak".
This series follows a lot of Norse mythology and in ep 14 as a teaser the
Norn's
show up (all 3) and it's implied they are there to do a hit!! In ep 15 it
goes
full boat with the challenge and explicit directive from Odin that the Norn's
are there as Assassins (there reasoning was that circumstances approaching
forced it upon them). The fan-subbers translated them to be Skuld Urd and
Vervandi. But listening to the VA's pronunciations (Skuld(o), Urd(o), and
Belldandy. I think that Vervandi's name to the japanese public has been
morphed
permanently to the form from OMG. The Loki version of the characters has them
all looking like very attractive high school age or first year college women
in
modern clothes, but very ruthless. I was more interested in the vocal
pronunciations than anything else though, any comments??
