Amanda and Jenny's Translator Tea Time podcast returns with a big time subject: how they feel when a work they're translating gets turned into an anime!

Show Notes

• Amanda and Jenny return, and immediately lament on having to wait to translate some manga. For example, Amanda really wants to work on more Kiniro Mosaic.
• Amanda asks how many yuri titles Jenny's translating (Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid, Secret of The Princess, Hana and Hina, Bloom Into You). This leads into the main subject: anime adaptations of manga they've worked on. How do they feel about it, do they watch the subtitles of an anime (Jenny makes a stunning admission about anime subtitles, though will admit it depends on the site -- Editor's note), do they watch it for work, etc.
• They also talk about how some perspectives of characters change thanks to how they're adapted.
• Amanda reveals the manga she translated that got an anime series, and...didn't like. (Jenny has yet to have that misfortune)
• Both talk about what titles they hope get turned into an anime. This eventually leads to them hoping for more yuri anime.
• Amanda apparently recommends an anime from the Winter 2017 season.

Manga translators Amanda and Jenny end 2016 by answering questions about anime and manga, crying while translating, and other cool (weird) things about their livelihood.

Amanda Haley and Jenny McKeon get together to talk about the biggest hot-button issue that hovers over the translation industry in years...Translation notes.

Ok, maybe not, but as many have inquired about it, these two professional translators talk about this and more.

In this month's Translator Tea Time, manga translators Jenny McKeon and Amanda Haley chat about whether they're given a manga bible or if they create their own, fanfiction, what programs they download or don't download, RPGs, and popular manga titles that won't get licensed.

Amanda Haley, who was the best overall translator of Coppelion in the first Manga Translation Battle, and Jenny McKeon, who got first prize as the best translator of Nichijou in the third Manga Translation Battle, are now podcasting, and that means explaining how one feels when they translate an ecchi manga in public.
