Back like over a decade ago (or close to two >_>) when one would be surfing sites on anipike looking for any information on <insert favorite series here>. Sometimes there would be a manga translation site with typed up translated chapters sans images. I remember reading the text translations in this fashion for
Ranma ;_; ... Is there no one else that used to do this? I don't remember seeing any sites with typed up anime translations...just summaries at most.
<Speculation> Perhaps this system came about because of the scarcity of manga digital raws back then as well as people not wanting to ruin the binding of their manga during the scanning process. </Speculation>
