What, did you think I'd end up dropping this after an agonizingly long hiatus or something? Well yeah because that's what I've always done Ahem. So, yeah. Back on this along with Shaitane Badi, and who knows what's next. Enjoy.

Mistranslation: It Could Happen to You!

Mangastream's recent translations of Genshiken have been bugging me and though I'll refrain from bitching about their version (I could go on and on--honestly, "the guy with the chonmage"? Seriously?), I thought I'd take a moment to show how a few mistranslated lines can completely change the atmosphere of an entire work.

Slight spoilers for the latest chapter along with the rambling.

Oh God Keiko you are the awesomest little sis ever.

I shall say no more.

Except...

Black Lagoon - Shaitane Badi: Chapter 3 (1/2)

I'm fully aware that most of the internet-isms used here were not in use during the early nineties. See the slang clause from chapter 1. If you're reading this, I have faith in your ability to understand 21st century English net-talk.

This is the first half or so of the chapter. Can't say when the second half will come out, but keep an eye out for it. There's a few familiar faces who're showing up very soon. Hope you enjoy.

I love them all already.

Yes! Raws!

For the record, no, I'm not going to scanlate this yet. Mangastream's cleaners could probably kick my arse five ways to Friday, and their translations aren't unreadable. I guess. I suck at translating things that other people are already doing, anyway. Zero motivation. So yeah, this is just gonna be ranting and raving and rambling from me. Spoilers below the cut.
