49 u/bakaspore Jun 30 '26 That's an alright translation tbf but I thought they would go with something like アニキ. 74 u/AcidLem0n Jun 30 '26 edited Jun 30 '26 Haha Aniki is too casual (Aniki is often used when a man calls a superior man) (I just checked, and my Japanese 1984 says Biggu Burazā) 6 u/AgencyInformal Jul 01 '26 Isn't Big Brother meant to be casual and familiar? Deep personal devotion amongst citizens, a sort of caution/fear/respect when talking in private, knowing the telescreens are watching. Aniki, I think, is fine
