[color=red]Idea for April Fool's Day?[/color]The recent site blackout gave me a thought (read the news post below for some tiny background). What if our April Fool's Day joke was to just shut down the site for the whole day?...............Actually, let's not do that. I think I'd be mobbed with angry visitors... 6k414b

Why don't add mangafox to the "Fight Tazmo image"?
Bye.

The translation has to be perfect, but I can compromise on the editing so long as it's readable. I don't read that many scanslations nowadays anyway, it's faster to read the raws.

finals on saturday? 8-|

Haha, I was in the minority's option for this last poll. Awesome. xD

As for the new one, I voted the first option [Very. I like my manga carefully done and perfect ]. Because it's true. I always notice spelling mistakes and small details, and while I'm grateful enough to the scanlators to shut my mouth about it, they're still an eyesore.

Yes, we should fight Tazmo. It's such a pity that he's still working, but to many places you find on Google redirect to his site.

Lamb, the more I randomly read about where you are relatively and your school life, the more I think that we may be going to the same college, in the same year. This is scary, or just a random coincidence; finals on Saturday match exactly what seems to happen here with our system. Good luck on yours! (I sure don't really want to take mine...)

can somebody tell me who tazmo really is? he seems like a douche. ive never paid for scanlations. just wondering. maybe a little more info than what was on the link above...

i voted for -----... xD but seriously; i dont care for perfection, because thats stupid; if the scanlators mess up here and there who cares? want a perfect release? do it yourself... i tried editing before and it takes LONG, so people really have no right to complain... and yeah, i voted the second option; i prefer it to be good BUT that doesn't mean it has to be, if i can read it and its an actual translation of what the text said then im thankful for the release

I rather have it at least readable.
Not all butcher up and made it paint [I think you know what I mean...]
If I knew Japanese, Korean, or etc. then I would be reading raws so yea. :/ Don't really cared for perfection.

There's a point at which quality of translation or editing gets to be an issue, but it's important to that it's a free (or, hopefully free anyway) amateur fan translation, so it's unfair to expect complete perfection. Of course wanting a best-as-possible job isn't unreasonable, but it's just not always available.

I voted the second option.

so true...

I knew I wasn't alone in being anxious to know the ending. Concerning this current poll, I'd like a good translations with minimum errors. There's no way I'd complain, because it's scandalously free.

On purpose without a purpose

Why do you think it's a lie?

*Climb the mountains and get their good tidings.
Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees.
The winds will blow their own freshness into you,
and the storms their energy,
while cares will drop off like autumn leaves.
