to tell the truth i dont mind Koko that much, its slightly annoying to drop the A but its nothing compared to other changes. changing anti-thesis to anti-schoolers and outcast ayashi to monstrels are the worst examples. im glad they got rid of abominable snow girl, snow fairies is still pretty bad but its easier on the eyes to read.

EDIT: It would seem, even with the poor translation and half assed editing, R+V II is selling well: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news...ist-april-4-10

thanks, looks like they didnt bother to continue with the surveys too much after publishing the volumes . they did change it to snow fairies but i dont know if its going to impact their judgement for future names. too bad they couldn't use snow girl/woman for Mizore's race.

It still boggles me why the anime was botched up so, it would have been much more popular in Japan and overseas.

I'm excited that Volume 1 of Season II is out. I've been wanting to buy R+V manga, but the first season didn't have consistently good art, and I didn't want to just buy randomly from the middle.
It looks like the translation is a little bit better this time around too. I agree that taking out the 'a' from Kokoa is wrong (don't they pronounce it 'ko- ko- a' in the anime?), but I can deal. The drawing of boxes instead of redrawing kinda irks me too, but I'll probably start buying Season II manga once they come out. |

But anyway, it's good news that R+V continues to be a top seller! Don't animation companies realize how popular R+V really is? All these sells should give incentive to start a series more faithful to the manga source.

I think how the manga is drawn in the beginning is perfect since it matches the tone of the series. As it got more serious, the characters became more refined and all. It worked out great.

I'm thinking about picking up the Viz R+V volumes soon but what are these boxes that you guys are talking about? I've looked through some of the volumes at a Barnes and Noble and I didn't notice any huge glaring boxes over anything. Can someone provide a scan showing these boxes?
I also find the altering of some of the names really stupid - abominable snow girl, monstrels, Anti-schoolers, Koko...WTF? Snow fairy is kinda acceptable. |
