Also, u should know that the Animes adapted from Manga are almost COMPLETELY DRAWN BY ASSISTANCES ONLY. ANd relating back to the first sentence, English manga is CRAP when comparing it to those that are NOT translated(meaning its IN JAp, of course), or Translated into Asian Languages(ALOT more Alike, culturally and etc)....alsO, English pusblishers like to use Crappy paper. and mr.SNOOPY, if u are SOOOO Great, why don't u name a whole list of Manga that are adpated from Anime, and compare it to a list of Anime taht is adapted from Manga? also, the Manga wif Not so Man0y Volume(less then 10?) are Usually never Made into Anime, meaning alot of the Good Manga will never be made into ANime, meaning U,anime fans, will be missing out on a great deal of stuff.....and nothing is better then having Better pictures.
...i'm very sorry but i don't see the point in this post
english manga translators TRANSLATIONS aren't the problem, it's the localization (AKA Mr. Evil Editing Guy) that borks everything up.
English manga is not crap, it's almost always (a scant few older exceptions) the exact same story as the japanese version, the companies just try to appeal to EVERYONE (people like those who post here are only part of their demographic, they also have to think about the people who don't know jack about anime/manga, fansubbers/scanlators don't have to deal with "localization" so of course FANS (thus "fansub", by fans for fans) would be miffed that some of the puns and concepts that wouldn't make sense in english anyway (even though they sound cooler in japanese sometimes..."chuunin" sounds a lot better than "journeyman" for instance...and the target audience for the manga i'm talking about wouldn't know wtf a journeyman is anyway)
if you have to complain about a translation, learn the language it was originally produced in and buy those
btw, Snoopy doesn't read american releases from what he says...
