those who bought the viz release of this series could you provide some review on their translation and scanlation quality? planning to buy it if the quality (translation and scanlation) is good.

p.s. this is because i have read a review on the Yen Press releases on highschool of the dead are poor in terms of quality making me not wanting to buy them.

I agree they really do. Especially with their work on Genshiken.

viz sucks shit!

i have season 1 of bleach.

1st. the subtitles are horrible and rewrote for "english speaking audience". close but things are missing that shouldn't be. the subs themselves are ugly as fuck.

2nd. the quality on my fan subs is superior to any viz dvd release i have seen.

i really want to support the industry but as far as bleach goes no thanks. if i have to deal with shit like that.

however i really want the legit copys of the first three seasons and i will buy them. even though i prefer the japanese and i think the english is "just ok".

but this is my just my opinion.

i have just compared with Viz release of ch1 online on their official site with the fan scanlations. got to agree that they ''' rewrote for "english speaking audience" '''.

Nura Syndicate [viz release]---> Nura Clan [fan scanlation]

horrific, e.g. -sama, -chan, -san are excluded

some sentences are changed while still retaining the core of the original meaning.

no problem with its scans

but overall is good
