Okay.

Many of you that know me pretty well know that I'm a gamer at heart and I rarely read manga (because I watch anime more than I read manga) unless someone recommends me a good series.

Judging from what I've observed of a few episodes along with the fanbase, I told myself I wasn't going to read anything from the JUMP series. The general consensus was that Naruto and Bleach ... are crap.

Anyway, I've been told by Kai and Terry to read up on a series called One Piece (YES I'M FUCKING SLOW, I KNOW. SHUT THE FUCK UP), and I was reluctant to read it at first because lolJUMP. I've read through several chapters already and I really do like the story.

That's one burden off my shoulder for now. One Piece is really great and I'm liking it, if it wasn't about one gripe. I'm lazy to read the thing in Japanese, so as every other person, I go and read scanlations of it online. The first 30 chapters or so had tolerable scanlators, but around chapter 35 is where I go ... "What the fuck?".

Seriously, I don't know who scanlated these chapters specifically, but I can't enjoy a good story if most of the dialogue's riddled with fucked-up grammar, punctuation, and spelling. Fuck you, and the horse you rode in on.
