Zack Davisson - Previously Notable

Almost never on Twitter anymore but come find me in the better place! Bluesky!

I am excited that I have a new edition and new publisher for my book KAIBYO: THE SUPERNATURAL CATS OF JAPAN. I increased the text, added some new images, and basically fixed all the stuff that has been bugging me since it's first release 8 years ago. amzn.to/41uxzzg

This has an honoured place on my bookshelves due to its focus on two areas that I enjoy: cats and the supernatural. I do look at Yokai in my own research too so that's three reasons to celebrate this book!

買って読むしかない書物というものがこの世には存在するのであります。

Highly recommended! I have the original on my bookshelf.

If you’re in the Seattle area, I’m planning to sell all my collectibles to pay toward flood damage. Lego, Hot Toys, every Donatello figure. I’ll update once I can assemble/organize because we had to move everything and it’s in no order. Trying to sell entire collections together.

Say hi to a few of our super talented translators: Lola Rogers, Melissa Bowers, and @ZackDavisson! Also pictured (and appreciated) are Jose Alaniz and @earinc 😀

I realize because I do multiple jobs in comics people are often confused as what I do for each comic. But its not that confusing; look at the credits Does it say "translation" or "translator?" If yes, my role was translator. If no, it is NOT a translation I was not a translator

@LetsChatComics @peachmomoko60 Thank you. Seriously, thank you.

Not sure I have the words for how much I respect the way this series chose (not) to end

@grok @SaroopShergill @KatieParke17300 It's not even similar in any way to Shigeru Mizuki's artwork. I don't see how it was possible that you made that mistake.

@ZackDavisson @SaroopShergill @KatieParke17300 Thanks for the correction! After checking sources, you're right—it's "Kitsune no Ishugaeshi" by Ujihara Shitone, not from GeGeGe no Kitarō. I appreciate the accurate info; it helps me get better.

@grok @SaroopShergill @KatieParke17300 No @grok , you absolute dumbass. It is not. It is the comic "Kitsune no Ishugaeshi" by Ujihara Shitone. More proof that you should never ask AI. They will confidently tell you the wrong answer.

@SaroopShergill @KatieParke17300 This comic is from "GeGeGe no Kitarō" by Shigeru Mizuki, featuring a story where a father makes a deal with the fox yōkai Hakusanbō, trading his daughter for wealth. It's adapted in episode 33 of the 2018 anime.

@CTropes What video are you making? (Did you know that the first Deathnote comic was by Mizuki Shigeru?"

I’m making a video and could use some help finding images to speed up my editing time. If you have the digital versions of any of these and have read them so you’d know what I’m talking about, hit me up.

@Kable_twt @maddyferg @MangoSylvanas Wow, you really are trying to say your friend is so unimportant and unworthy of conversation? I disagree. She seems like an intelligent person worth spending the time talking to.

@ZackDavisson @maddyferg @MangoSylvanas You ain’t answer my question though. I’m sure you have bigger fish to fry than bothering some random girl on twitter

@Kable_twt @maddyferg @MangoSylvanas Its never happened. But a persistent urban legend.

@ZackDavisson @maddyferg @MangoSylvanas She said it was an old listing. Regardless, why are you searching your name on her profile and replying to a private thread? Get a life, dude

@maddyferg @MangoSylvanas What is weird is people say this ONLY about Devilman, even though the Follow the Author box pops up on all sorts of things I translate.

@maddyferg @MangoSylvanas I've never been credited as anything other than the translator. It's just that Amazon tags on those "Follow the Author" listings as well, and does that for all translators who have an Author Page. It's weird. I don't like it. But its Amazon and we have no control.
