in japan, they have like, 50 words to represent sound effects that they use in their manga.....so to translate stuff like a grabbing sound or rain hitting a sidewalk or the whooshing sound of ninjas jumping through trees willl often seem weird in english

... grabing... sound? =P

Plus shouldn't ninjas be silent when jumping through the trees?

I just don't see those two things making much sound heh

I can understand "rip" and what not but not something that shouldn't make much sound at all.

what about the sound of kimi's meat sliding off the bone as he pulls his bone from his arm? how do you put THAT sound into words? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

Hmm....maybe this is a bit off-topic, but now I'm curious.
For those of you who read manga, what's the strangest sound effect you've come across?

interesting. it's starting to sound like i will need to start reading some manga. like KitKat, i've never read any. i guess i never thought about how different it could be than the animation.
