Visiting Poland's Biggest Anime Store. 🎌 🇵🇱 

Thanks for watching! I worked Soooooo hard on this video and hope you enjoy! The thumbnail is also an omage to one of my longtime favorite creators Chris Broad. Please share and support however you can if you want more like this!

POLAND MENTIONED

Legit thought I just got a notification for an abroad in Japan vid. Loved the vid man

Honestly I'm very into translating. If I would be the one to translate "My Dress-Up Darling" I would make it "Przebierana ukochana" which literally means "dressed-up loved one". For me it's perfect because there is a rhyme in it

POLAND JUMPSCARE

It's a shame that You didn't get to visit the Manggha Museum in Kraków, which often collaborates with Japanese museums and artists. And the polish director Andrzej Wajda was heavily involved in the project which has very much strengthened the relationship between Poland and Japan

I walk through the town hall of Wrocław pretty much every day, it's crazy to think that you were this close. Really cool to see you try new stuff, loved the video. Greetings from Poland.

"Literaci" actually means "Writers" in Polish

Amazing video! This Idea is something I've never seen many anime focused channel doing so it was extremely interesting as well

It's nice seeing you break out of the comfort zone and do a different video like this, hope to see more of this kinda stuff in the future!

Finally, two of my favorite things in one video, Polska and Anime

Still watching the video but just wanted to say, it's so amazing to watch your videos. Love all the effort you put into your editing, it's always so inspiring to watch your videos. Thank you Hiding in Public!

Fun fact: in Ukraine, there is a city that, for some god forsaken reason, has animé theming all over it, down to the grossers. It's the city of Mukachevo btw

One thing to add: With Inu-Yasha we had in Poland a translation years ago (like, a decade or more) but it stopped abruptly at volume 17 or 18, and then restarted a year or two ago (with all of the authors most popular titles) with a new publisher and a new translation :) And great job on the pronunciation! :)

This is such a good video !!! The editing is awesome

Hi, a Pole abroad here! It's so awesome you decided to visit my country, it has so many great places to visit that just one trip won't be enough xd As for the translations of manga titles, I think they are hit or miss most of times - I kind of wish some of the titles were left in their Japanese/English 'versions', although you can clearly see how the translators know the source material and want to show their understanding of it, I highly appreciate it. If you ever find yourself in Lodz, it has great street art everyewhere, go check it out as well. I think they have a Yatta store as well (for video purposes) alongside the local Kitsunebu store, these guys carried the otaku culture well in my city

Top stuff! I'm heading to Poland this summer so was good to see what you liked and thanks for the recommendations too!

Great editing and delivery in this one👍

Wow I didn't expect this from You but It was certainly a pleasant surprise ☺️ I really hope 🤞 that this video gets more views and likes or whatever so we can see more of these types of videos

I love this video! Great one HiP!

Great video! Watched all the ads for it, I’d be glad to watch content like this again!

Really nice editing here, Hiding! And very nice video, as always!

look at my boyfriend going places and looking at manga in poland!! so cool! so adventurous! so polish!

Great video! Glad you had fun in Poland! It looks like a very beautiful country. -Rune

Waneko is such a good polish distributor of manga. They have a vast range of titles, not only the popular ones, and sometimes add official postcards for free ( when u buy straight from them). Furthermore, their Re zero ( manga and ligth novel) translation is considered only secound to Japanese and are only 3 volumes behind, vs official English relase 14.

greetings from Poland !!!

Super Groovy video. We definitely need more

AAAAAA this make me so happy! Great video Hiding! This trip looked like a ton of fun and I’m glad you had a good time! I’ve kinda been away from the channel and Twitch for a while but you and Yuki and dating?? that’s so cool! You look great and I can’t wait for more vids. :D

Dude, youre livin the freakin life. I'm happy for ya, and love seein your content!

Your editing is 🔥

Great vid bro, I hope you enjoy your time at Poland.😺

The french translation for My Dress-Up Darling is "Sexy Cosplay Doll" i mean sure but jesus

I was surprised to see March translated too! I've only got two volumes so far but I'll def keep at it. Glad you enjoyed the visit, it felt pretty surreal to see someone acknowledge we exist lol

glad you had a good time dude!

Omg the dedication

For me the best part about being Polish (which applies to every other non-English speaking country) is having more possibilities. I understand English well enough to buy stuff from abroad, so when I want to read series that haven't been published in my country, I can easily do so. However, I can also read everything in my native language when it's more convenient. It's truly nice to have this ability.

love this style of video hiding!!!! also i want to see you back on rant cafe :'O

This one looked dope and nice to learn some stuff from Poland also I thought the thumbnail looked familiar to someone else Mr. Affable himself lol great trip it looks like

It feels surreal to see a vid where you enter the same anime store in Gdańsk I regural visit XD I hope you enjoy(ed?) your visit in the Tricity Edit: My bad, from the intro I thought you were I'm Gdańsk

Yooooooo new vid

"Boku dake ga inai machi" have actually in Polish two translations :p "Miasto z którego zniknęłam" - "City from wich i disapeard" and "Miasto beze mnie" = "City without Me"

You're giving me PTSD of my upbringing in Polnad (ಥ﹏ಥ) Polish misstranslation in popular culture gets preaty wild: "Die Hard"="Szklana Pułapka"="Glass Trap", or "Dirty Dancing"="Wirujący Seks"="Whirling Sex" etc.

I can't believe you went to my country! I live in Poznań and visit Yatta pretty much weekly and it never crossed my mind someone not from Poland may be amazed by its concept. And yes, we are very lucky about having some really obscure manga before US in our relatively small country. The best example of this is Re:Zero, which is at volume 30, just 3 behind Japan.

If you're interested in exploring another, and sorta odd, connection between Poland and Japan, see if you can get your hands on Avalon, a Momru Oshii film (director of the original Ghost in the Shell movie and Angel's Egg among others) that was filmed in Poland with polish actors

I just watched your video about this one manga that destroyed your childhood, and now i see you were in my country! Hope you anjoyed it!

Yo, can't believe you were at my local Yatta! I'm also glad you had a great time in Poland. I recently started to look more at the translated titles here and it's super interesting how they do it. I personally read more shoujou manga so that's where "expertise" is. For example Yona of the Dawn (Akatsuki no Yona) became "Yona w Blasku Świtu" which means something like "Yona in the Shine of Dawn". But my favourite translation has to be for My Little Monster (Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun). For the longest time I didn't know what the English title was and when I did find out I was a bit surprised about how, well, unimaginative it sounds. But then I realised it would be very hard to translate that into English literally and make it sounds cool because of the structure of the language. In Polish tho, it was more possible hence we got "Bestia z ławki obok". While the Japanese title means something like "A monter beside (me)/nearby", the Polish one is "The beast from the desk beside (me)/nearby" which virtually means the same thing the Japanese title tried to imply.

This was interesting!

this was a suprise in my recomendations

Fun vlog🍜

It was a great time being in Poland!! I also really loved the national museum, and it's funny to see some pictures that are similar to the ones I took too

Fun fact, Ranma and Inuyasha were released in Poland for the first time back in the early 2000s by a different publisher, but they just stopped translating mangas and we never got the full translation of these titles.

this is so weird to see someone i sometimes watch visit my country

Nice city pronunciation dude!

Funny this happened to drop the exact day I arrived in Krakow

Fun fact: in the city I am from Yatta opened their shop on the street called after Gabriel Narutowicz - the first president of Poland. I appreciate the pun each time i visit there 😂

You and Yuki look super cute together : ) it’s cool to see a less scripted video from you

Thank you for the awesome video~ I hope you had an amazing time exploring Poland together, Even though the journey there looked like quite the handful Thank you for all your hard work, Keep it up m(_ _)m I hope everyone is having a lovely day, Have a wonderful rest of your week, Be safe and Take care out there wherever you are (^=W=^) Also loved the thumbnail~

Real shame that I cant get Sangatsu in english, but it's really cool that it's available in Poland. It's also my favorite anime, so I hope its manga can get published in english at some point.

Woah!

Yay! My country ❤

I genuinely thought this was an Abroad In Japan video

I go to wroclaw around once a month and it's a nice city. Didn't know they had a huge manga store though. Maybe I'll visit it at some point (eventhogh I don't understand polish)

woooh 2n d video i'm in

Btw you can find yaoi manga in every mall in poland (if it has empik store inside)

Poland mentioned!!!!!!!🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱

I would be jealous they actually have an anime store or many but then I realized, I could literally go to Barnes and Noble if there isn't a manga specific store within hour or more away

wait wait, yuki is your girlfriend? like gf gf? wow i seem to have missed so much stuff, i didn't know any of that. i'm so happy for you two, congratulations!! the trip sounded very awesome, hope you're doing good.

I'm austrian but never once in my life have i bought a german volume of manga. I think a lot of people in non-english native european countries are similar.

For me its funny how Poland has many more mangas than germany does have. I am half polish and half german thats why i often visit the country and will be surpriesed every time with new mangas

So random cause I happen to be in Poland right now. Hopefully I get the chance to visit one time before I leave.

It is weird watching your video from city I live in - Wrocław. Feels so strange for some reason...

There got to be more direct connection to Poland. Cant believe you had to go to Oslo and some other obscure Norwegian airport...

time to move to poland 👏

I think we have the same headphones but you got silver and I got blue

Did you take the wok to Poland

Im from Wrocław ❤️

France has an AMAZING manga market. They get a lot of shoujo that has never even been licensed into English.

WHERE IS THIS!? PLACE PLEASE!

I know I'm a bit late to the party, but I really wanted to point something out. I very much doubt that you got a good deal on that hotel in Zakopane. Let me explain. Whilst it might have seemed fairly cheap to you considering you got that jacuzzi and sauna acces, it would probably be quite far beyond any ordinary everyday Polish person's financial ballpark. It's not that the hotel is cheap, it's just that Polish currency is weak and country economy is lagging behind USA's. In addition to that, Zakopane is considered to be very overpriced, being a primarily tourism-based place, though this is a generalisation. Excuse me for throwing shade, but to point out something positive, I am glad you could notice the inclusivity of Polish people, as sadly older generations can be really close-minded.

It pains me how the japense dont realize that they dont romanize things they anglisize them. Allow me to demonstrate by more properly romanizing the names of various animecharacters I like, you should be able to see how its different from anglisization 夢子 蛇喰 - Jumeko Džabami 紗雪 朱鷺原 - Sajuki Tokihara 雪乃 雪ノ下 - Jukino Jukinošita 比企谷 八幡 - Hikigaja Hačiman アカメ - Akame 麻衣 桜島 - Mai Sakuradžima 咲太 梓川 - Sakuta Azusagawa Heck it can even be seen in the name of their capitol 東京 - Tōkjō

wait... there's no way he's literally hiding in public now

Chill camp

I ❤ Poland!!!

He took the WOoOoOoOoOoOCK. To Poland.

While manga translations are pretty on time (you can even buy popular manga in newspaper kiosk) light novel are basically non existent, ther is sao, overlord, and re zero. I wanted to read toradora, and while i have no problem reading in english, thise are expensive and pllish realases stopped at 6st volume, also translation is very cringe but maybe im just to old for that book

but did u bring the wok?

Holy shit man you look _so_ different these days. That jawline tho.

Cool that you were able to see your gf in person

Polish projekt and english prādžekt are not the same, same for english kāspleī and polish IDK.

You look like multigameplayguy

They have people in poland?????😮😮

I prefer to watch anime in english. If it where translated to rīdzinieku speach I would find it horrible, worse than why the englishman NeverKnowsBest played Genshin impact in japanese, because he found english to be cringe. If you wanted to me watch anime in my own language it would actually have to be in my own language, either perfect literary language or any dialect or combinations of dialects my family speaks.

9:14 YOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I KNOW THOSE HOT MEN

Dude what

Nie rozumiem tego materiału, ta jego dziewczyna jest z krakowa i jest polką i on do niej przyjechał? Ma wschodnioeuropejska urodę więc może. Yatta jest sponsorem materiału?

Land of the blonde and blue eyed

2:48 Your map doesn't even include all the stores.

As a Polish person I am taken a back, because everytime I see Americans and Asians visiting my homeland, because I feel ashamed sometimes of being "Polish", for the all discrimination and homophobia the government propaganda pushes. But what I have the most found memories of my country is the Manga reading and Anime club at my junior high school where I first read Yaoi or BL whatever you call it "Konbini-kun" by Junko and some other extreme 18+ material that... yeah, unless you buy alcohol they don't ask for age. And weirdly enough that was my first time being presented the same-sex relationships theme so openly at 14 and reading those stories I know made me and my classmates open our eyes that your love doesn't have to be the opposite gender of yours. and it's also that I don't understand why Americans scream that YAOI is bad that is the fetish material and not authentic... when that's litterally the genre that is showing Polish youth that love comes in all shapes. Kotori - one of the major manga publishers who mostly do Yaoi, published only one comic series made by Polish mangaka, because we've got a few comic/manga creators here... but most here go into self-publishing and there is not really much to do in this country to "show your voice" to write, to draw about our diversed stories. ALSO, the other thing. The aspect of which I am pround of my country is publishing. And though I just mentioned that most publishers don't care for Polish Comic Manga Artists, they do put a lot of care into the translations. Paper is the nicest quality, comparing to a British published localized manga I purchesed 3 years ago which feels like a toilet paper, the Polish choice is stiff and pretty, and the ink has this quality it smells really nice. And they do redraws for the onomatopeia, replacing them with Polish onomatopoeia something that I for the longest time didn't see English versions doing since recently, well Polish has been doing it for 15 years or so. The favourite one of mine is Polish Publishing of NORAGAMI by Adachitoka, because while dealing with JAPANESE MYTHS AND SHINOISM for a standard Japanese is okay, for your avrage Polish Jan Kowalski [John Smith] it gets confusing, had it not been for the translation which adds on the context and a few additional dialogues PLUS at the back you get the explanaition for the translation choices and Japanese kanji as well shinto. Because localizing NORAGAMI which translates to HOMELESS GOD or SHRINE-LESS GOD into the Polish world reality... I MEAN YATO WEARS TRACKSUIT and drinks and thinks money he is closer to Polish Jan archetype, but it wouldn't make much sence, hence I am happy that some publishers include those "translation notes", because me as a Japanese linguistics major I am fastinated to see someone's brain process and sentence understanding. And it slightly makes me feel happy that I had been born Polish.

Its not Oslo, its Sandefjord

I hope you now see why beautiful architecture is important.
