Your pig

Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.

Agreed, a lot of Tokyopop's old stuff was pretty terrible. In fact, I refuse to buy or read their version of one of the canons I play from because it was so bad. (So bad, in fact, that I actually contacted Tokyopop myself to tell them that they'd messed something up. Hilariously enough, they offered me an internship there. Turning it down was in retrospect probably one of the best decisions I've made.)

These days, though, I can't really say I've encountered anything that was downright bad for years. There's been stuff where my reaction was "eh, I would've translated it this way," but it wasn't inaccurate, just a different interpretation. Which is totally valid, given how Japanese is as a language.
