So, I just watched this last night (I know, late to the party but I managed to have missed this film in my 25 years of watching anime), and while it was very good, would it have killed them to have named it any other name than " The whore"? Was it hard, or was Ghibli just pulling the hispanics' leg?

I doubt the creators knew spanish.

Blame Jonathan Swift

Ok, why?

I doubt the Japanese care very much about what the Spanish think, do, or how they say whore.
Besides, they didn't even come up with the name :

>>I doubt the Japanese care very much about what the Spanish think
Is this why they made Megalo box's second season?

It's a Gulliver's Travels thing. One of the lands he visits is named Laputa, and it is theorised that the author was tricked into calling it that by a Spaniard who thought it was funny.

Didn't Swift know Spanish? It seems like Ghibli could have renamed the island, but no

renaming Laputa would be like renaming Liliputa. It just isn't done

When you forget the translation it doesn't sound bad

But they did rename the film for some countries, I think.

Yep. It is Castle in the Sky in many countries. El castillo en el cielo in Spanish and O Castelo no Céu in Portuguese.

It's "castle in the sky" in my country, too

Yea mine too

"Whore in the sky" for me

For me it was "the adventure of the silly little boy and the autistic girl who falls from skies"

Haha

He also could have named it that because Laputa in the novel is an analogy for Britain and Twist, as an Irishman wanted to call them bitches without them noticing.

Swift was half-English, a Tory and an Anglican cleric

True, not a big fan of the government and their handling of Ireland though.
Laputa is very clearly a sitire of the British leadership.

seanigger plz

I prefer the land.
