THANK YOU for this rant forum even though it was partially my idea...
xd I own enough of this horrid VIZ version to know what you mean.
Quote:
And then...they twist around words and make it sound like Shippou is having some kind of homosexual affair!
[inside-joke](Which he is, but with Hakudoushi!)[/inside-joke] In vol. 11, Shippou [supposedly] says, “I gave him back his breath!”
Rofl. Yep.
This was during that entire scene with the fight against the fake water god. He was holding Inuyasha under the water and Miroku and Sango recetly released the real water goddess out of her seal. She took off her earing and threw it into the lake, parting it and distracting the water god.
This was when Shippou was SUPPOSED to merely state the obvious. In stead, he ends up coming out of the closet someway or another...
(Of course, he is "out there," but with Hakudoushi! rofl.)Oh kami-sama, and I will now state what is wrong with the recently published VIZ version of the Inuyasha MANGA profile stats book.
Not only are there typos in this, but also mis-prints. This is the worst translated art/profile book EVER published. If people that only pay attention to the dubbed aren't already confused, they'll be even worse off.
Firstly, Kikyou's appearal now seems to include a baboon cloak.
Last time I heard, only NARAKU wears that! Oh, and get this, people say that Naraku's clothing and other traits has been scattered throughout the entire book so now maybe Miroku owns Saimyoushou!
Of course, since the manga is printed from left to right in the VIZ version, they switch all the images in this profile book which was NOT NEEDED.
Kaede's eye patch switches eyes in ONE page. So now, she seems to have both of her eyes being useless.
Kagome's profile says something along the lines of : "A priesstess who battles demonic."
It ends there. Demonic what? Or was that meaning to be "demons"?
Sesshoumaru's mokomoko-sama is now known as "fur." Mokomoko-sama is the OFFICIAL name so they should have kept it as mokomoko-sama. Thank goodness, they got what it was right...
When describing present-day characters, they use ANIME names for a MANGA profile (this may have been in both Japanese and VIZ versions, but still...). Eri, Yuka, and Ayumi are ANIME ONLY names. They shouldn't be used in the MANGA profiles.
When they described Houjou's relationship with Kagome, they kept his name in tact, but when his picture came up, his name was changed into "Eri" and Eri's picture had "Houjou" next to it.
So now confused fans will think that Kagome can't date ERI on Saturdays! Some weird Eri/Kagome yuri fics will now come up (not that I'm against yuri).
And oh yes, Hakkaku is now supposed to be the wolf demon that was in charge with attacking Rin's village or something like that. Hakkaku was supposedly that wolf demon that was killed by Kouga.
Not only is that wrong, but once again, they used ANIME names. Hakkaku and Ginta are not names that Rumiko Takahashi used in the MANGA.
And don't EVEN get me started on the anime and manga publication dates. Why are they nearly caught up with every other series EXCEPT for Inuyasha?
I mean, it's going to take another ten years to get up to volume 50 at the rate they're publishing manga. And the anime isn't even done getting released in DVD format even though it's over on TV!
Inuyasha is seriously being destroyed by VIZ. *takes deep breath*
