#japanese #anime I got to series 3 episode 6 or so of Kingdom before figuring out why the English subtitles for the names didn't match the sounds... Turns out they were transliterating the Chinese kanji for English, but the Japanese voices were saying the Japanese sounds for the characters. (D'oh!!)

But it is really cool to recognize the kanji in Chinese--I knew theoretically that Japanese and Chinese had a lot of the same characters pronounced differently, but it's wild to see it in action.
