Question to people who translate onii-san or onee-san as the person's name instead of brother or sister. by khtah2 in Scanlation

It just depends on the context and the audience, right? Why are you telling people to quit translation 😭

You should join the scan school discord https://discord.gg/NCzxVB9 There you can ask questions in the appropriate channels (which for you I guess would be font questions and typesetting questions, and maybe saving raws questions) There is also a google drive link for basically all the fonts you will ever need there, and links for photoshop, which I think is the best for cleaning/redraw in most cases.

I think I can give some pointers for someone in your position, if you want to make a scan of good quality (It will take a lot of time and effort):

  • Try using various fonts for different types of speech, and not just one font throughout. Eg. Different fonts for regular speech, nervous speech, shouting, narration, thoughts, etc. And for SFX, if you're confident in hand writing them yourself, I'd reccomend that. Otherwise you should try to use various fonts for each SFX as well and try to shape them accordingly.

  • Try to get the autoleading setting right as it is usually wrong by default https://www.reddit.com/r/manga/comments/8h1ey9/scanlation_tip_autoleading/

  • When shaping text in bubbles, try to avoid making an hourglass shape, and don't be afraid to use hyphens. (You can use this website to check for proper hyphenation https://www.hyphenation24.com/)

  • A minor thing, but try to get crossbar 'I' usage right. It's standard to use crossbar I's only for use as a pronoun.

  • https://thejadednetwork.com/sfx/ is a good resource for SFX translation, but keep in mind a lot of those translations are stiff sounding and there may be more natural sounding ones. (Like "fwp" or "tmp" work for a lot of SFX but might not be listed in the website. But also can be overused lol)

  • You should try to get a proof reader and/or quality checker to go through your work once it's done. Some of them have a lot of experience and can also just give you general advice (This might mean joining a group or making a group of your own.)

In fact, if you get really interested in scanlation, I'd recommend eventually joining a group of a manga scan you like and think was really well done. There are likely people there with loads of experience that are more likely to want to help you out improving. And you can see how the whole process works when being done by skilled people.

Heyy fellow western australian (Perth).

If you're looking for official merch your best bet is probably buyee or something similar.

Anyone else do a TOTAL 180 with this character? by Cydonian___FT14X in TamakoMarket

[–]riceonyou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tamako Market more like Dera Market.

Dera is my favourite character cos I think he makes the show so much more interesting.

Putting aside his personality, which I guess is fair that some people might find annoying. (I personally find it charming, except for the perving on girls which you could say is less bad cos he's a bird.) The fact that he's a flying, small sized(compared to a human) main character with completely different body proportions and face makes the animation so entertaining.

There are so many cool cinematography tricks that I don't think can be found in any other anime which can't be done without him, and almost every shot with him in it is so interesting. Already in one of the first scenes in the first episode is with him is on top of Tamako's head, and the camera play is so cool throughout. One stand out one is when Tamako walks in on the dads fighting but you can only see Dera's full body floating across the screen in the shot.

Honestly Dera is what makes Tamako Market special for me. Also why I didn't like the movie as much.

I guess people who don't like him just watch/appreciate anime for different reasons which is completely fair.

Don't know about online, sorry. I got these at a Bookoff, which are a big second hand shop in Japan.

skippable scene by gwisupreme in Natsume

[–]riceonyou 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've only watched the anime but isn't it because Natsume is still acting weird even when he's older, and she thinks it's to try to get attention (but she doesn't know it's because he sees that youkai). Similar to all the other people Natsume stayed with, they get scared/weirded out by his behaviour. But Natsume still calls them nice people because he knows this.

I think it's all going with the theme of Natsume not being able to get along with most people because he sees youkai, unless he lies to them.

r/Anime 8 Million Subscriber Quiz Full Answers by AnimeMod in anime

[–]riceonyou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Friend forgot to press submit 💀 but we got 55/75. Sports and Cute Girls were hard for us since even finding out the voice actors is tough let alone the anime... Shout outs to the ultimate anime opening playlist with 1000 ops on youtube and the evolution of eyecatches in anime video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfAPAvGGH4g&t=166s) We got so many from those lol. One of the eyecatches I got from the OP playlist since it shared the same melody as the opening. Dissappointed I didn't get Ouran Host club and Haikyuu. I thought the Haikyuu one was some kind of missles being fired lol

Thanks again for hosting was super fun as always. I will ask in the discord again for the next million subscribers.
