Next up for me at #AnimeNYC, the Localize This! Panel, feat. a Mt. Rushmore of localization, @ZackDavisson, Carl Horn, Mari Morimoto, Lynzee Loveridge, & @OkazuYuri! It’s a full house!
Mari’s been in the business so long she gets 2 slides! She’s been in the industry three years longer than Carl Horn! 😎🔥
What is localization! The word itself is superfluous, but without localizers you don’t read manga in English! It is a translator who writes the phrases we latch onto and assign meaning to.

At the @DarkHorseComics panel feat. @ZackDavisson & Carl Horn!
Giving a history of Dark Horse’s relationship with publishing manga. Dark Horse started doing manga in 88, Viz was founded just a year before in 87. Contrary to what some younger fans may think, Manga localization was happening before the internet!

Introducing the localizers on the panel! Everyone has a unique career and skill set and different stories about how they started working in manga!
