SO. The Angel Sanctuary english translation from ViZ. I'm reasonably satisfied with it. It does some things better than the translations I've read, more things worse. I prefer the scanslations for word choice and THE SPANISH INQUISITION but they aren't horrible and sometimes easier to understand.

BUT. Today I picked up volume 1 because I need to scan in my icons from the first two volumes. And found this.



=D

NOT THAT WE DIDN'T KNOW. But. \o/

VIZ DID NOT JUST GET OVER THEIR ISSUES WITH HOMOSEXUALITY. THEY DECIDED TO RAISE US ONE.

... I'M PRETTY SURE IN THE ORIGINAL HE JUST SAYS SOMETHING LIKE "...I WANT TO HAVE SEX."

BUT THIS IS SO MUCH MORE HILARIOUS

... To this day, I just look at that page and stare and stare and stare.

I just want to know if the final volume is accurate since it's practically unrecognizable from the scanlations.

Yeah Viz just released the last volume late last month. I was mostly excited to read the translations for Yuki's final author's notes since they answer why she did the ending the way she did (apparently she originally wanted something much more depressing), what was actually up with Kira and what really happened to Katou.

I can see why you'd want scans from those first volumes since the scanlations are not pretty. Honestly, my first three or four volumes are falling apart so it is a very good thing I have volumes 1 through 11 in raw form. Even though I lack scanner. -_- At the next con I might just pick up the rest of the raws since they're cheap.

Yeah, the first two volumes are REALLY UGLY in scanslation ;; but that's where all of Kira's general interaction faces are >\ So I own uh... 1-4, 7, 9 and 10 I think. Additionally I want fourteen and the last three >\

WHAT DID SHE SAY ABOUT WHAT'S UP WITH KIRA AND WHAT HAPPENED TO KATOU.

Lesse. She said Kira's not coming back; big surprise there. She said Katou went to Heaven; don't even ask her logic escapes me. She's also going on about something dealing with reincarnation since obviously that's her thing. She also thinks Sara and Setsuna are going to be A-OK living on their own as 15-16 year old kids. With you know NO MONEY. Kay...

So pretty much, as special as Yuki always is. ^^;;
