Subject: Re: Did anyone check out the September Asuka? Author: Ariane [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 14:13:28 08/27/03 Wed In reply to: Sakura no Miko 's message, "Re: Did anyone check out the September Asuka?" on 11:59:58 08/10/03 Sun No, TokyoPop is an evil organization that does sh*tty manga translations so that they can pump the books out faster and make more money (need I remind anyone that they gave the angels and demons in "Wish" genders? Thus changing the original story? hm? And the stupid Americanized slang?). And they probably would not publish the eigoban with the tarot cards and original names, given their history of creating new covers for the English releases and printing color pages either 1) very poorly and/or 2) in black & white. France has also been publishing manga for years, whereas the market in the US is rather new, therefore, France knows what they're doing. Its taking Viz so long because they temporarly lost the rights to publish "X". While I don't particularly like the translations, I have to say with all honestly and a bit of experience to boot that TokyoPop would do no better of a translating job, indeed, probaby worse, if they had the rights.
