The Molokidan Thread~!

[Norenche]

We, at last, ended the first Horror of Left Hand of God, Right Hand of the Devil. We'll begin soon with the second Horror. If you can I'd appreciate if you can translate up tu the end of the third horror, so we can work w/o worrying about not having enough tranlations.

Thanks a lot and keep up the good work!

 

[molokidan]

Free feel to PM me if you have questions about the Edited Mangas, Norenche. This is more of a Q/A thread.

About the translations, I'm waiting for you to catch up, then I'll do more. Trust me, there is no need to worry.

I am very grateful for your translations of Kazuo Umezu's comics. I am a big fan of him and was delighted when several series all of a sudden popped up I hope they will all get finished

Orochi (dead)

If you could provide me with the raws I would gladely pick this manga up for Edited Manga.

 

[molokidan]

Thanks, I'm glad someone is enjoying it. People just don't seem to take kindly to Umezu's fantastic work.

Oh, sorry, that list is totally out of date. I need to update it. Kurokishakai is working on it (they just released chapter 1) but if you'd like to help out let me know.

 

[zombietoaster]

Just released it? I thought you had listed it as dead cause they had taken months since the last chapter :P (but thinking about it, its only been two, I missread the release date as mars and thought it had been four months)
But if you ever do another Umezu manga, or one thats being scanlated is dropped by its group. Id gladely do it He is one of my favourite manga authors. And THE favourite when it comes to horror manga.

 

[molokidan]

OK, I will let you know. Thanks!

 

[barbapapa]

Hi there,

Just curious, what manga, or which authors do you like?

 

[molokidan]

Hi barbapapa! Thanks for stopping by.

I love Umezu Kazuo works, freaky horror stuff, funny gag stuff like Cromartie and Masaru, love Jojo, old classics like Galaxy Express, Kyojin no Hoshi and Ashita no Joe, etc. I also love hilariously over-the-top stuff like Riki-Oh by Saruwatari Tetsuya, and shounen when it's actually fun and not full of fanservice. I think that about covers everything. Unique things that cater to my odd tastes are best.

 

[Akiyama]

Congratulations on 900 translations, extremely impressive!
It's great that Billy Bat was the lucky one.
How many years have you been a translator?

 

[molokidan]

I've been translating since Summer 2005. I am not very active anymore since I have real life translating commitments, but I still hope to break the 1000 mark!

Thanks!

[raghu2345]

Can you please translate Kiteretsu Daihyakka and Doraemon?

 

[molokidan]

Sorry, although I would love to, I'm too busy to take on un-commissioned projects these days.

 

[raghu2345]

Um...sob... I asked u because no other translator was interested in these projects...
Anyways,
Thanks for the comment..

 

[molokidan]

Did you just call me a SOB?

Just kidding. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

 

[tsubaimomo]

edit: good job!

 

[molokidan]

Thanks! I guess that means, what, I have a mb of tls now?

Hello

I believe you mentioned somewhere earlier in this thread that you were studying translation in college, and are now working as one? If so, I'd love to hear your opinion on the usage of 'free will' in translations, as opposed to a strictly 'literal' translation. Obviously, using the extremes of each would be a little silly. (Ex. the literal translations in a japanese language textbook v. so much 'free will' that its almost like a new story)

I believe there's a delicate balance out there somewhere, and in my search for it.. I'd love to hear your thoughts on it. Thanks!~
