I just looked over those translations. DBD - COMO seem to be decent pieces of work but the further it gets the more unprofessional it looks. I agree that those are fan translations and that translators put a hell of work into creating them, but this compilation looks very unfinished by now...
For the Movie please remind yourself that that whenever Hollywood is doing Anime, it sucks. On exception would be the Wachowskis, but they will probably never ever direct anything again. |

In general anything Americans touch sucks. Look at all the piss poor translations for licensed anime. |

I've been tempted to go over Shutazen's work and edit it down but I haven't had the time to make it happen. Quote:
EDIT: That's actually kind of glib, and not really fair because those Konami translators weren't professionals in the 80s. Translating things like popular novels, movies, or TV shows well demands idiomatic command of both the original and destination languages - in fact, it's some of the hardest material to translate short of a live conversation among a group of longtime friends. Anything with a video component is double tough because you not only have to capture the meaning and semantics but also make at least a half-assed attempt to make it fit the mouth flaps unless you're willing to reanimate the show just for that.

The events of TSR happen in Ending Day by Day (I & II) novels, and after that the story continues in this order:
- Dancing Very Merry Christmas - Continuing On My Own - Burning One Man Force - Come Make My Day - Approaching Nick of Time - Always, Stand by Me (I & II) Here you can read the summaries up to ANOT. Last edited by Frostbitten; 2011-01-28 at 14:31. Reason: Some spelling mistakes |

Sure there is. Some very good news actually:
Ending Day By Day Now go and order it. Hopefully Tokyopop will release Sigma next. I hate those damn french ppl who already have the first 11 volumes translated!!! EDIT: And in case you now say 10 $ is expensive ... i paid fucking 14 euros for it so deal with it - still a good price! |

Depends ... ending day by day is very cheap right now but it depends on its sales, if more novels get release. Also if the sales are low, there probably won't be a re-release for the first 3 Novels which got insanely expensive. Start with buying the 4th one. It's very different from the anime, not like novel 1-3. If the 4th sells bad, you won't get any (more) novels for a good price anyway!
