my man the crabman spent blood and tears to draw succulent monmusu boobies only to get censored by localizer https://t.co/wNOfHNBILh
@KjoLightHunterS Tsuramaki took personal charge over localization for FLCL. IIRC, he personally approved @KariWahlgren as Harahura. He wanted cultural references American audiences could understand that still fit the tone of the series. And it turned out incredibly!
The poor quality of modern localization makes perfect sense once you realize those who are responsible for it hold open contempt for Japanese culture.
Daily Tales Reminder of the Day #376
In the English localization of Destiny PS1, Miktran was changed to Kronos. This was back in 1998 when the English version came out.
16 years later, Xillia 2 came out with a villain named Chronos who's a lot more memorable. 🤭
Seeing a lot of hot takes about Seven Seas' localization of "I Think I Turned My Childhood Friend Into a Girl." I actually read a good bit of it. @gomanga definitely screwed the pooch, but in a different way than folks are contextualizing it as a forced trans inclusion issue.
I always wonder about certain choices in the localization of the "Digimon" series. Below is "Digimon World: Digital Card Arena" in the near end of 2000 in Japan, it would be released in the middle of 2001 and later 2002 in America and Europe respectively.
When localizers and their ardent defenders try to justify nonsensical translation choices:
I heard that localizers pulled some dumb shit and changed (Hiura) who is a boy and made it out as if he’s Transgender when he’s not…
And localizers wonder why people have such a distain when they do things like this…
Manga: “I Think I Turned My Childhood Friend into a Girl”
As you all know i think i turned my childhood friend into a girl Manga was Ruined by Localizers who turned a Femboy Protagonist into a Transgender Girl
Pirate the English Release but if you want to support the Mangaka consider buying the Japanese Release https://t.co/3TDqnhDOi5
This is a glaring contradiction. If localizers were truly trying to translate a work as accurately as possible, they wouldn't be consulting with sensitivity readers for their opinion on what's acceptable, they'd be following the original script.
It's been 13 years since Starfy 5 was localized outside of Japan so have a compilation of doodles
I'll post some other ones I made too
I'm pleased to announce that I served as the localization director (all books), editor (Code 02/03) and translator (Code 04/05) on Memory's Dogma with @sekaiproject!
I hope you all enjoy the long awaited continuation and conclusion to this sci-fi tale!

The Dinosaur left has gone TOO FAR! Back in MY day dinosaurs were deadly powerful beasts and not comicalized & demasculinized like this. To add in the leftist agenda, THEY DONT EVEN NEED FULL TRIBUTES OR ANY AT ALL IN SOME CASES. THIS IS ABSURD!!! #Notmydino #Dinorightmight
Browsing through Trails stuff to get ready for Zero this fall, and I sneak in some Dark lore (hopefully that’ll get localized soon) and I stumble upon Kiseki Ral!
Peak llegó a realizar varios bocetos para esta segunda entrega, teniendo muy claro desde el principio que debía focalizar el protagonismo en el personaje que daba título a la película.
I beg of y'all. If you have not seen the Kamigami no Asobi anime adaptation, PLEASE watch it!! I have a link if you need it!! Please join the love train of KamiAso, the anime is so funny and it's only 12 episodes! If we want a game localization WE NEED A BIGGER FANBASE 💪🫶
