that’s my biggest problem with my version of Lady Snowblood. the sound effects are all in Japanese. sometimes I can guess what they mean, but most of the time I have no idea.

Well, I still prefer it that way, but companies like Tokyopop sometimes have glossaries to every sound effect in the manga so that they can leave it in Japanese and yet still make it understandable. I find that the sounds a generally pretty obvious and anytime it is translated in English it will just be the english Onomatopoeia anyway. Like we say “Snip snip” for scissors and they say “choki choki”, cause that is what they feel it sounds like.
Oh and just for clarification, as far as Lone Wolf and Cub goes, I just believe that there is a difference between what is accurate and what is appealing to the eye. The Eastern Eye version somehow has a rough appeal to it. Plus, the screencaps don’t do the films justice. It is a bit different when watching it. However, if you are not familiar with the series and are looking to buy the films, I recommend the Animeigo, because chances are you won’t feel the same as I do and you won’t appreciate it. I just felt that it wasn’t correct saying the Eastern Eye release is horrible.
