   Oh, Gawd, why did Middaugh let him near manga if he has an established   
   history of doing that?  I suspect that his time at Viz has warped his   
   sense of judgement.

   Interesting, but I look for more heinous examples of retranslation than   
   that.  Or is the Shikon technically not a jewel?

   Do you mean the anime or the manga?  What I've seen of their releases of   
   the anime was handled well, but the manga was totally ruined, in my   
   opinion.
