Oh, I nearly forgot. Danmachi 5 premieres today. It’s my translation baby for the season. Hope everybody enjoys it!
If you want to see newer series get “more” (which can mean: a sequel, an English dub, a home video release, official convention screenings and panels, etc.) then you MUST watch the subtitled simulcast on a legal streaming platform and encourage your friends to do the same. The viewer numbers matter.
Something that came up at a roundtable recently: There is a difference between an audience and "fans." And when looking for manga to publish, a book finding its audience is far more important than a book finding fans. An audience buys and reads the series, which ultimately is all that matters.
Galient looks absolutely fantastic on blu-ray! I love this era of animation so much. The use of stark colors and shadows. The detailed designs and movements. Sunrise at its finest. Really hope people check it out. Official release date is the 15th!
Translator friends who are into Otome or Dating Sim games, what is the best translation for フラグ? I know “flag” occasionally gets used in English (like death flag), but I’m unsure if there’s a more natural choice. Are “raise a flag” / “trip a flag” something people who play those games would say?
Happy International Translator day! I respect and admire so many of you out there, especially those who freelance and make their names visible. I know you have to deal with lots of unwarranted and misguided criticism. It’s one reason I stay low-key on social media. Never let the haters get you down!
Wishing all translators a beautiful day! 💫 Our craft is rooted in humanity. We are artists, caring for the words of others, sharing experiences with the world while making sure everyone enjoys and understands them perfectly. This is rare and precious. You are rare and precious 🤍
In all honesty: Happy International Translator Day This goes to all loc specialists, translators, LQA, subtitlers, and thanks for the support from other creators like writers and game devs. Working along with creative people is amazing, being able to creatively adapt their work is a blessing
Happy #InternationalTranslationDay2024! Here's to all the incredible translators, adapters, writers, producers, voice actors and directors, and all other professionals who help make narrative art more accessible to everyone around the world!
My translation baby is here 😀 Excited to pop it in and finally see the clean video without any time codes lol
