@RMaster
you gotta remember, that the animes are pretty much just a high budget commercial to sell more LNs.

I learned this the hardway with Overlord.

"A virtuous woman is preferred more by everyone." FUCKING FACTS. Author is a man of culture and preaches the good words of God himself

 

[subarukyun]

I swear people complain about the smallest shit lol, you people have too much time. Thanks for the translation!

"Let's give an exceedingly religious saint a halo as a present because it looks cute. Just what could possibly go wrong with that?"

 

[arcsalvo]

No reason to change Gae Bulg to Excalibur, I feel like most people either know about it, or will find out quickly with just a short Google Search. I knew about it due to playing Phantom of the Kill, may the (global version at least) game rest in peace.

 

[KajurN]

I prefer when the scanlators are upfront and tell you what they've changed like they've done here. Shows they've been trying to be as faithful as possible to the source material, instead of butchering the original like i've seen so often...

 

[alannondarklord]

Gotta say, this girl is one of my favs for this series, if only for the fact that you would never have to wonder what she's really thinking. If she doesn't blurt it out immediately, her expression is obvious enough a blind man could read it.

 

[Psychronia]

Ahh...White. Poor, poor White. She's probably my favorite Saint, and the poor girl is just on a rollercoaster because she's the only one with common sense. Her expressions are adorable as well.

@boag I'm not sure whether to laugh at calling Overlord's anime high-budget or cry at the fact that it probably was.

 

[boag]

@Psychronia
Do both, at the same time.

 

[Ibri]

Not that it is relevant to this series, but if you get a magic item from someone you don't trust who has powerful magic putting it on is kinda risky.

 

[red-ssi]

@dummyaccount12345 yea,zero it is.

 

[Telumire]

Fantastic job from the translator team ! Thanks a lot for your work, the side explanations are great. Keep up the good work please

PS : I didnt know of Gae Bulg before today, I do think Excalibur is much more famous/known. This isnt just me, here's the proof :


Trends in google's searchs shows that excalibur is a word more searched than gae bulg :

The Ngram Viewer tool by google show that Excalibur is much more present in litterature as a whole than Gae Bulg :

[korra_lover]

great scan!

 

[monkey123]

This chapter is a lot better than the shitty ch15. Screw you author because of ch15. (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

 

[Sancturil]

Note to the translator. Gae Bulg is actually quite well known in the anime-manga-etc community thanks to Fate/Stay Night. Replacing it with Excalibur isn't necessary.

 

[Riger]

I keep wondering why they instantly started calling him the demon lord. Even before he introduced himself. He also hasn't done anything evil, yet they keep trying to attack him...

 

[aFFi]

Damn.
After watching the last episode of the shitshow that is the anime adaptation, I decided to reread all chapters available...
I thought maybe my memory of it was wrong, but it's actually good. Damn it.

The crappy character changes that the anime did (Maou-sama normally has mid-long hair capped back... not a fucking mullet. And the adventurer girl with the Trap is actually wearing normal cloths in the manga, not shitty skimpy leather belts as "armor", ...)
The Music is so loud it drowns the spoken dialogues...
The "action scenes" at 3 frames per second...
The only barely positive thing is maybe Maou's voice...

Damn, I'm pissed.
Well, at least it isn't as bad as the Arifureta's anime adapatation...

 

[Ixiaz]

@aFFi

I keep seeing people bring up how bad the Arifureta adaption is. Just how fucking bad could it possibly be? Like... Between Master of Ragnarok (absolute bottom) and How Not to Summon a Demon Lord (top tier of objective trash isekai), how bad is it really?

Best angel girl. Wife her please
