why do you have so much style!!

The thing is, if the Netflix CEO tells Nolan or Villenueve that the Odyssey or Dune Messiah are going straight to streaming, I don't think either of them would be afraid to kill him on the spot. So he needs to be careful.

we love not being burnt out!!!!

dawg I gotta catch up

the look of profound sadness and pity, maybe one of the best singular expressions in all of dragon ball, translated entirely faithfully

dude this figure of end of namek Goku is so fucking cool

It's a bit how like every version of the one year war in Gundam are all canon at the same time. Even, especially, the contradictory parts

canon is for dweebs!

GET EM, LIZ! (and the rest of the team at Olive Jirushi, who are great)

I feel like I'm on the reverse arc hahahaha

thank god i already had an artist burnout moment years before i started lettering bc i probably would be in a very unhealthy relationship with work had i not experienced it on a small, non-consequential scale in my early 20s

long story short, you don't need pain to know you're working hard!!

This one's me! I have a lot to talk about once the volume drops.

hee hee hee

Extremely proud to announce I was a translator on Octopath Traveler 0! 🎉 So glad this game got a second life on consoles, and heartened to see reviewers say the story brought them to tears. Guess that means we did our job. 😊

Hell yeah

The first panel shows a boy leaping out of a giant toothy monster's mouth, with the SFX "SHUMP." The next panel shows him landing hard on the ground with a big "THUD".

Same image as the last, but the SFX are in their original Japanese

As always, I love meticulously recreating Akira Himekawa's original SFX for English readers.

Chapter 10, Part 1 of Kamudo by Akira Himekawa is out now! Lettering by me, translation by David Evelyn

We're all expected to do more with less and it's breaking me

the fact storefronts always completely clam up when they remove something and never respond to any requests by the developer on how to make their game compliant kind of gives away the entire game and it is dumb to pretend it doesn't

The unfortunate thing too is how many of the JP fans are just going "Well, Furuya will always be Amuro. How would you replace him?" and clearly ignoring what he did.

Considering how Ikeda was recast as Char twice now, I find it disheartening that Bamco refused to do the same here.

Hell yeah

I realized when I talk to people about the insane technical stuff I have to deal with, I sound like an insane person.

bluesky wrapped but it's how many times you got a non-sequitur scolding reply to a joke post

It's been a week

just another normal day in manga lettering world

I’ve sometimes fallen into the trap of thinking that complementing a creative person for their work is less sophisticated or desired than discussion or debate about it but very often the best thing you can say to them is hell yeah and that doesn’t make you dumb it just makes you nice
