Exactly the same? Really? So you're willing to watch an animated version that follows exactly the same as what you read?

Really.

Also, translation notes are always welcomed, Editor notes are worthless distractions.

I run Illuminati-Manga. You're welcome.

I like my adaptations unchanged. It ruins the feeling when they change things/add things.

If I had a fantasy self, it'd be a tentacle monster.

I like ones that are funny, witty, or explain an untranslatable word. Most of them are pretty good, but I do hate a couple of the rare, bad ones I've seen where people have done --"You baka*" *tsl note: it means idiot--, etc. Just translate words like that!

Well, fight scenes are more fun to watch than to read personally.
Sometimes, the comments are funnier than the jokes. Plus it helps sometimes to understand cultural references or jokes made by a play on words that otherwise wouldn't make sense.

I have to agree. Although, there was one instance I can think of where it actually wouldn't have worked right cause of the wording and actually sounded better, but on a whole, those kinds of things are kinda annoying.

I feel the same way sometimes, particularly when they change major plot points just to end the series or whatever.

lambchopsil has never seen a Harry Potter film I'm guessing to actually be asking us that question.

Actually, I've seen them all. And read all the books multiple times.

But I feel that manga (with pictures) is different than a book (all words)

"Only good if they clarify the translation or scene " I hate, hate, hate the ones that try to be "funny" or "cute". [OMG X is sooo cute *huggles*] and crap like that pisses me off. That's part of the rason why I prefer reading raws these days.

I don't mind them, I just don't like it when they replace the mangaka's free talk or notes with their own. It's annoying and disrespectful.

I don't mind them so much if their funny. And if they really really bug you just erase it. Even paint can do that much. Though I do like my clean manga. But hey I'm just a leecher, let the scanners do as they like.

I forgot about those...
Yeah, It's not cool that they do this.
Of course, if they have both the author's page--translated--and an "edited" version of the authors page where they replace the authors comments... then it would be fine (though I probably wouldn't read it).

dou you guys watch bleach,one piece naruto....

we love it because its the story we love in motion with sound and voice. fullmetal alchemist 2009 is the fastest remake ever in anime history because the fans want the real story.

1:1 = awesome [because in mangas there is more stuff shown, the most adaptions ignore that]
