Especially when dealing with joined pages. Some scanners somehow cut out entire sections from the middle of the page. I can go into a diatribe over skills that people in scanslation don't have anymore. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] paraphrand@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago No shade intended!

Like instead of cloning a background they just blur it. Or not matching the background bubble color when cleaning the original text. Or removing the mini kanji or outside the bubble, the side comments, flavor text etc., without translating them. There are even some that go out of their way to straight up sensor the manga. I've seen cleavage removed, clothes drawn on, and the most egregious one they just put a black box around a character. Obscure titles may draw the attention of groups that will treat them right. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Cybersteel@lemmy.world 1 point 11 months ago I remember that one page in Medaka Box with lots of very tiny writings in the background and being impressed that the scanlator bothered to translate those into English. permalink fedilink source parent
