I'll see what I can do to check it out. You're definatly right though, english versions of manga and anime suck, horribly. I'm currently studying japanese so that I can start watching the RAW episodes of things withought waiting for them to be subbed. (is watching and reading Naruto like a madman)

IMO I wouldn't they suck bad. . .(well in most manga cases), but the originals is always better, btw I'm learning Jap also :). Teaching yourself or being taught?

I'm taking a course at school, and guys, yeah, the translations are that bad. They translate horribly (even the fansubs), and they never fully show the original concepts.
Given example:
Chihiro, sen wa kami kakushi
Real translation=Chihiro, Person taken by the gods.
Media translation=spirited away
And the media translation ends up being used by tokyopop, action, and other manga producers.

>_< I still think the KH mangas are good and no where near horrible, but I guess it just depends on opinions. . .

Dragon, are you just saying that because I said the Initial D manga in English sucks? Because I don't think they would have done terrible with other ones...

I meant to say that that was what you apparently thought, anyway. :worried:
