this is what has made me feel torn for YEARS now. i really don't know which translations to trust, and i know that usually different translations are pretty similar, but sometimes they are quite different. its hard when you don't know japanese to know who to trust. i think masa's translations tend to be more straight to the point and literal, whereas some other people might embellish more or add a little bit of flourish to things to make them sound better in english.
