A series I've been writing for beginner manga translators :) Part 1: Resources Part 2: Translating SFX (Sound Effects) Part 3: Good Manga Translation Part 4: Translating Accents Part 5: Formatting Translations in Word Files

Many people want to translate manga but there is not much information on how to start translating manga. This series looks at different aspects of translating manga for beginners, with the aim of helping you be a great manga translation and improve the overall quality of manga translation...

I think we just have very different tastes, FFIX has an amazing complicated plot and character development! I love it so much! At least in my opinion VIII and IX had more interesting plots, and I found them to be a lot more enjoyable than XII. But I think people's opinions towards the Final...

I can attest that Waterflame are a really good group to work with. They make translating fun and rewarding! ^^ I would have quit a while ago if that wasn't true :P

Maou from Maoyuu and Minorin from Toradora are probably my two favourites.

I'm the one that told you there was a volume 6! :P Didn't realise there was one at the time of writing my resolution though ^^;

Hi phmoura! I think you worry a lot about translating everything word for word. That can help at first, but the best thing to do is take a break and a step back and look at the sentence in English and Japanese and think about how someone in that situation would say it in English. Even if they...

Also the costumes online are really bad, unless they're custom made by another cosplayer, but then what's the point? ^^ I love sewing and making the costume from scratch. I have tried to find stuff in charity shops in the past but I find it's a lot easier to go to a fabric shop to find the...

Awesome! Do you make your own cosplay from scratch or just parts? What do you prefer, sewing or prop making? I love cosplay ^^ Or rather, I love the challenge of making it! The wearing is a bonus ^^;;

Oh I finished the first season in 2 days!! I'm just worried I'll want to finish the second season in a day but will catch up and have to wait a week for the next episode and I don't know if I could handle that D: Or is the second season finished now?

I am so tempted to pick up the manga after watching the first 2 episodes, but I know the manga isn't finished so I'm reeeeaaaally hoping the anime concludes everything and wraps it up in 1 season, otherwise it could risk finishing on a cliff hanger and never getting a season 2! O_O So even if I...

Yay a gay character in anime where the BL isn't the focus! This looks like it's going to be a really interesting show, but did anyone notice some of the bad translations in the subs (Horriblesubs)? Like "Bass Tuba" being translated as "Euphonium", they're completely different instruments! Sorry...

Hey guys! I'm slow and only just watched through all of season 1 and OMG SO CUTE! Glad to see everyone here thinks Zen x Shirayuki is super cute! And I love how strong and independent and intelligent Shirayuki is and how she doesn't just fall in love with any guy she sees. Well I know it's not a...
