Hello, pals, I have a question I was hoping someone could answer. I saw the Tekkonkreet film and loved it so I bought the manga with some birthday money. It arrived today and reads left to right instead of right to left like I'm used to. I assumed the publisher just did a simple image flip but all the pictures with drawn text etc. are still the correct way around. Then I theorised that maybe they just swapped panels from side to side but then I realised that would mean the text boxes would still have to be read right to left but they are also correctly flipped. Any thoughts on how they did this?

Here's a look at how they localised the Akira manga the first time that might offer some insight.

Good god, what a lot of extra work went into this stuff back in the day.

What a pain in the rear end for basically no gain because it turns out that reading the other direction isn't a freaking problem.


quote:

The problems caused by flipping are well-known (Brienza 2009): on the one hand, all characters appear to be left-handed (see e.g. Kaindl 2004: 200). This problem is evident in Akira in scenes such as the one in the 24th Epic issue, in which Dr Dubrovsky (or Dobrovsky – in Japanese, his name is spelled with the katakana syllable ド (do)) is introduced to various colleagues, and in the translations, they all shake hands with their left hand. In the original (p. 16 in the 5th collected volume), they use their right hand here, and in general characters are usually depicted as right-handed. While handedness is never a plot point in Akira, the mirroring problem becomes more obtrusive in certain plot elements, such as the ‘Numbers’ (children with paranormal abilities) having a number tattooed on their right/left palm (see also below), or Tetsuo having his right/left arm shot off in a laser blast. This reading experience must have been particularly odd for readers who had also seen the (unmirrored) Akira animated film which was released around the same time as the manga.

iirc because mirroring would have altered the artwork too much, for Blade of the Immortal they cut the panels up and rearranged them

kind of amazing they did all that work that is solved nowadays by a single page at the back that says "wrong way, dumbass"

I guess that's one way of adding some interest. I'm already noticing that there's not much meaningful variety between the different Symphogear cards in-game.

There's a ton of backlog on Crunchy, so you can catch all sorts of great shows, whether they're drama, mystery, action, comedy, shorts, shounen, magical girls, etc. It wouldn't be a bad idea to just wing it and try a few first episodes by their descriptions.
