Differences Between Anime, Game, Manga, & Light Novel Translation

Описание: I now have professional experience in translating the Big Four in weeb entertainment: anime, games, manga, and light novels. So I thought I'd go over the basic differences between translating them. If you're interested in translating anime, games, manga, or light novels...or if you're a fan and just want a peek behind the curtain...this video's for you! (I also have professional experience translating docuseries, dorama, variety TV, and live action film, but I didn't include those in this talk. Maybe another video...)

Please don't learn 100% of your Japanese from me! I'm a highly-experienced J-E translator and teacher of dance and theater, but a beginning level teacher when it comes to Japanese. It's also best to learn from a variety of sources (preferably native Japanese) and to hear the concepts explained by multiple people (again, preferably native Japanese). Here are some other great resources:
