Re: Portuguese Dragon Ball Tankoubon Edition *On Going* - Re

Bakuman seems to have a pretty decent following, and Viz wasn't afraid to include the term "hot shit" in there. Bakuman is probably the best Viz release I've seen so far. Well, it may have a decent following, but it's no Dragon Ball nor no One Piece. And that "holy shit" was mos...

Re: Portuguese Dragon Ball Tankoubon Edition *On Going* - Re

I have Naruto, Death Note, Strawberry 100% (which ALSO got dropped! :x ), Yakitate!! Japan, Dr. Slump, recently began One Piece and i'm thinking about starting Bleach afterwards. Viz does its best when the manga is just so "adult" (more mature than usual) that they just can't put the T rat...

Re: Portuguese Dragon Ball Tankoubon Edition *On Going* - Re

Personally, I'm a purist, so I think they should have just left everything as it was in the original. Of course, some adaptations are required, otherwise, we would end up with "Gokuu", "Bejita" "Seru" and the like. I understand your reasoning for "Djinn Buu", ...

Re: Portuguese Dragon Ball Tankoubon Edition *On Going* - Re

I said what I said, but I know it could be much worse, nevertheless. I just meant to lament the loss of the portuguese edition's benefits (then again, the stupid names only come after the introduction of Mr. Satan, so, if this edition were to continue, we could've still had them...). I also have a l...

Rats. Now I'm going to have to turn to Viz's edition. Censorship and stupid name translations... yay...

Re: Portuguese Dragon Ball Tankoubon Edition *On Going* - Re

In my opinion, all dubisms should have been kept out of this edition - the dub's translation was just awful, I'd rather this edition of the manga had nothing to do with it - though I agree that it's far easier for people that grew accustomed to the dub to have the translation that they're used to. A...

Re: Portuguese Dragon Ball Tankoubon Edition *On Going* - Re

Huh. Pretty interesting piece of information. And it makes total sense. If that's true, at least they were smart enough to ask for the more literal translation. Still, too bad they didn't do the right thing and just translated directly from japanese. Unfortunately that's how the translating business...

Re: Portuguese Dragon Ball Tankoubon Edition *On Going* - Re

I really, really hope they're just late or preparing or something, because this is really the best version we're ever going to get in a language that is confortable to read (some lucky people get the french version, but it's just not the same for me, not only am I not that fluent in french, it just ...

Re: Portuguese Dragon Ball Tankoubon Edition *On Going* - Re

True. I've been wanting to post this for so long, I forgot some of the previous posts :D But ever since Rukura's post, it seemed like people also forgot your in-depth analysis, so it serves as a reminder :) Your "alternative translation" theory is probably correct, and that gives us hope t...

Re: Portuguese Dragon Ball Tankoubon Edition *On Going* - Re

Guys, I really hate to burst your bubble, but I've been doing a bit of checking, and despite what has been said, these new editions are not translated directly from the japanese ones. We all knew from the beginning that Asa's edition was translated from the english version, but I figured "what ...
