And are you too dumb to e-mail either of these companies and maybe start a petition to get them to change? And bullshit 96% of the translations are bad, I can say the same for scanlations which are amateur translations done by fans. I find dozens of grammatical errors all over scans so don't even say they're perfect. Throwing random percentages out won't help your argument.

You can sit there and say what these companies do is wrong but complaining to a small community of fans and refusing to buy the translations doesn't send the message that you want better quality, it sends the message that you're too lazy to organize a movement and would much rather steal not only from the companies but from the creators themselves who get absolutely no money from scanlations at all.

So if you think you're being all righteous and fighting against the manga companies you're fooling yourself. You're hurting the creators just as much. If you're gonna bitch about quality get off your rear and actually do something about it, get together all the people who agree with you that the translations are terrible and have all of those people mail TP and Viz, they won't ignore the fans, or else they wouldn't make a profit.

And I must question when the last time you even bought a manga and read anything beyond Shonen Jump titles, because quality has gone way higher than it was in the early days. I honestly can't remember the last title I picked up that was horribly butchered beyond the ability to read it.

So the group of publishers, particularly the Japanese publishers, banded up to fight scanslation...just for fun?
