  1. For some reason, I find the Japanese title for "Mary Had a Little Lamb" (メリーさんのひつじ) to be absolutely hilarious. Maybe because they went with 「さん」 instead of 「ちゃん」 for the honorific? Or that they even used an honorific at all? ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%A1%E3%83%AA%E3%83%BC%E3%81%95%E3%82%93%E3%81%AE%E3%81%B2%E3%81%A4%E3%81%98

      Or maybe it's that they even bothered translating such a stupid nursery rhyme in the first place? Or some combination of all of those? idk

        maybe it's the irony of seeing Japanese, the language generally associated with cuteness, being used to translate something where the cuteness originally comes from a language usually considered less cute than it
