I guess there are a few things I need to say about the last few pages.

First: Aikawa keeps mentioning Japanese Television shows, that never made it abroad and I'm really not sure, if I translated the titles right. I'm actually not sure I correctly translated anything that Aikawa wrote. That guy is a menace with a keyboard.

Second: the format I choose to represent that wall of text that is the production report seemed like a really good idea at the time. Now I wanna hit myself with a banana until I lose consciousness. Oh well.

If you got time on your hands, pls feel free to heap lots and lots of criticism on this thread. Need to know how to improve. I will read it tomorrow. Good night /m/

here, finished reading.

Never watched the anime but this manga felt like a live action police movie, would be really cool to see this adapted to live action, even more than Ghost in the Shell.

Now about the scanlation job, That I am a newbie too, not even using photoshop but paint ultimate always use outlined text when the text goes over the image, it was kinda hard to read the first pages because the text was white. Also try to make the text like a pyramid in the mirror. Also using other fonts is cool and using bigger fonts in laughing is important. Pay attention for the baloons, if its a screaming baloon, you can make the text bold.

kinda like this, at least is the way I like to read the text.

What fonts do you use? I've been digging through free fonts and there's lots of interesting stuff if you want to make a sign or poster but not so much for pages of dialogue in speech bubbles.

Your text is too large for the bubbles. Also, use smooth or strong anti-aliasing for your text.

No name. Just anonymous. I was orignally only the translator. I did it for shits and giggles, cause /m/ was really pining for angel some while back. But then nobody went in for the scanlation, so I learned photoshop and did it myself. I'm not really attached to this. Someone wanna upload it anywhere or make a torrent, pls feel free. Actually pls do, I don't know Jack about things like that.

About the live action bit, there is some explanation for that in the commentary and postscript at the end of the volume. pic related

thanks for the tips

I use anti-aliasing but like I said before, I dont use photoshop. My tool is Ultimate Paint, there are some limitations.

And I prefer large texts over tiny ones.

there was no /pol/-tier anything in the OVA either, the reference to jewish bankers was almost incidental

Yes, it's rushed as fuck and not the focus of the movie.

Also the fact that they're jews has no racist undertones.

Some of your dialogue is a little stiff, like "fan the anxiety in the populace" when you could've used "make people/masses more nervous/anxious". If your mother tongue is English, re-reading a line and asking yourself "Would a normal person say this?" is a really good way to make your translations sound more natural. I would also use "drop their guard" because it's more common than "showing their tails"

>>14923706
For this page, you have a very common problem with Japanese translation and はい being a valid response for any and every question. Remember to translate in context: "And there's one more thing" usually elicits a response of "What is it?" "...which is?" or even "Being...?" Instead of "Yes?"
>>
>>14923717
It starts being noticeable from this page, but contractions are usually used in conversation "we will=we'll" and so on. Unless it's a news report or you're trying to make a character sound foreign, contractions are usually used.
>>
>>14944130
Other people in the thread have mentioned it already, but typesetting is more than just placing text in the bubbles. Think about size relative to the other lines on the page (larger/smaller text gives off an impression that the character is yelling/whispering), try to keep the text in a box or oval shape and avoid cutting short words in half (makes it easier to read).
It's a good start, keep up the nice work!

>>
>>14944631
Oh shut up

>>14944127
I'm not a native english speaker, so this helps quite a bit

>>14944130
I assumed that not using a contraction would put emphasis on the "will" there. At least that's how I would read it
>>
>>14944127
>"fan the anxiety in the populace" when you could've used "make people/masses more nervous/anxious"
Some of the worst advice I've seen. Your line is significantly worse than his, aside from his grammatical error. The line should be
>fan anxiety in the populace
or even
>spread anxiety throughout the populace
or whatever would work best in context.
But definitely NOT
>make people more nervous
This is Elementary tier sentence construction.

>For this page, you have a very common problem with Japanese translation and はい being a valid response for any and every question. Remember to translate in context: "And there's one more thing" usually elicits a response of "What is it?" "...which is?" or even "Being...?" Instead of "Yes?"
No no NO. His translation was perfectly fine, more fitting and even more natural than most of what you're proposing.
