Aside: My number one translation pet peeve are companies that are too lazy to translate SFX. So YES. and THANK YOU.

I don't care one way or the other about translated SFX, but it sure looks sweet and takes a lot of effort to replace them seamlessly. I tried doing the same for some doujinshi I scanlated way back, and man, that shit is HARD.

Yeah, to be honest I've come back a little bit on my hard-assed expectations of English adaptation, because the volume we enjoy now is due in part to not reversing/touching up a lot of art. It takes so, so long (and is thus expensive).

It's a sliding scale, but basically what really chaps my hide is when I feel a shoddy or half-assed translation has been passed off to fans as "more authentic," when in fact it's just "lazy." That's not really the fan's fault, though, honestly.

I guess the days of painstakingly hand-lettered and -retouched Studio Proteus comics are gone, though, for good or ill.
