As previously explained, the existing scans suck, and we have better (I dare not say perfect) English anyways.
Enjoy your Kanade.
Blah edit: We decided to just base our TL off of the existing ones; they’re perfectly fine, but there was just some editing and fixing up that needed to be done, especially since BoysDeMo’s scans were done from Chinese raws. These are also tankoubon scans, so we won’t be releasing as regularly as other groups; it depends on when the volumes are released in Japan and when the raws come out.
P.S. Happy holidays.
Merry Christmas and thank you for the release.

Thanks for not crediting me for my tl. Tlers usually prefer to lurk in the shadows.

Okay, I’m not entirely sure what you mean, but either
a. You’re grateful, in which case “I have no idea where boysdemo got its TLs from, and I couldn’t find the editor anymore, so there’s nothing to thank us for”; or
b. You’re pissed off at us for not crediting you, in which case “I have no idea where boysdemo got its TLs from, and I couldn’t find the editor anymore, so the entire group got credited instead”.

Yes, I am very grateful for your heroic effort in not finding the boysdemo ch 1 credit page ( http://www.mangafox.com/manga/angel_beats_heaven_s_door/v01/c001/28.html ) and not checking for the existence of public tls for this manga ( http://mangahelpers.com/m/angel-beats-heavens-door/translations/ ).

tl;dr Hats failed.
Either way, it’s not entirely based off of your TL; we took the final script from BoysDeMo as a base, and TL checked it and re-edited after that. (They did edit it right?) As such, we credited the entire group instead of each member of the group.
I am going to assume that you didn’t do the TL for their chapter 2, since the translations got absolutely atrocious.
