Someone else did their own translation of the second volume years ago, yeah only the second volume for some reason, but I'll do my own later.
Worth mentioning though there's just a teeny bit of a caveat.
just leave it alone and don't bother until you get an actual TL on board
>>23795276>>23795279Well this is pointless then. Why did you even think posting this was a good idea?
>>23795276when somebody actually hires a fluent moonuser you should sudoku in shamebut here in real life where nobody gives a fuck about 99% of content relevant to here keep on rocking in the free worldhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DvxxdZpMFHg
Devil's advocate, unless you or someone you know is fluent to compare the moon version, how exactly would you confirm a translation's quality as opposed to just assuming it? Especially since this guy says he’s actually backing his shit up instead of just copy/pasting MTL like a retard.
>>23795276Jen, is that you
>>23795653This is how you get shit like the original Ordian subs.
>>23795872Elaborate?Also now that I think about it it must be to easier to hawk crabstick scanlations than crabstick subs, because with subs the original audio's right there for anyone who knows even a single word of Japanese to immediately notice the subs are bullshit, whereas with scanlations you'd have to go out of your way to get the raws & even then, unless I’m mistaken, more people know bits of spoken Japanese than any written Japanese. So unless you’re fluent all you have to go off of is the translator's word, your gut, & other people's word going off of those.
>>23796401Ordian had (and still has for 2/3rd of the show) absolutely dogshit subs that completely butchered the context of tons of scenes which made people think that the show was poorly written and no one questioned them because the group that did them was considered reputable.Same with garbage like TV-Nihon where I'm still not sure if they even know English.
If supposedly reputable groups can fuck up, if dubious crabstick peddlers can fuck up, & if even official releases can fuck up, then how much stake can anyone put into any translation unless they’re fluent?
I only just realized OP forgot to actually link it.https://weebdex.org/title/dmensx8gyb/8-man
>>23795872thankfully Ordianbro is going to come back and finish it... any day now...
>>23796401iirc that's how Akumatsu Translations happened, because there was a bullshit scanlator called Kamimatsu Translations that made up things for their manga scripts for Warau Salesman and other manga. AT wound up bullshitting as much though, just could con people better.
>>23795279This hobby is dead.
I don’t usually like to be smug or confrontational, but if there are any real fluent moon speakers here then I DEFY you to compare mine & the Japanese version, & if I have made any serious, catastrophic story-ruining gaffes, then I’ll gladly commit sudoku, hang myself, AND blow my dick off with a shotgun simultaneously!
>>23795872>>23796419>>23796920We don't need that crummy show to be finished. Yuu constantly loses and the ending is a complete ass pull with nothing solved.
>>23796581oh new manga site thankies
>>23804527THE DAY after you say that that site announces that they’re gonna be shutting down after only existing for a few months. Fuck. Back to MangaDex it is I guess.https://mangadex.org/title/18da0705-987a-470a-9037-faf25be21dc5/8-man
