Critical Phantasm

Hey, and welcome to my blog. In addition to the typical VN, anime, and manga reviews that can be found in blogs like this, I'll also be talking about the world of scanlation, and hopefully give you all an insight into how it works.

Just a bit about my background, I've been scanlating since November 2013. As of this post, I'm a proofreader for Casanova Scans, Vortex Scans, and Galactica Scans, and I'm a former proofreader and now part-timer for Village Idiot Scans. Basically, what the proofreader does is take the script from the translator, and proofreads it. I'll be elaborating on that in a later post. Oh, I'm also kind of an unofficial consultant. I have some translators who ask me to give input on their scripts/wording from Japanese to English.

I'll also be trying to help people expand their tastes occasionally by recommending works. Not know where to start with VNs or manga that isn't Naruto or Bleach? This is the place for you. I'll also be tossing out reviews for other good works or stuff that's currently airing, as well as plugs to manga that I work on.

I'm sure you have bad taste anyways.

Anyways, sit back, and enjoy the ride.
