http://www.aclimatesolution.com/ will send you printed translations along with your raw manga.
But on the topic at hand...
I don't bother translating anime any more, but have done a couple of manga translations recently. Manga is not only easier to translate, but it's far less likely to be licensed.
Most anime on TV these days is being licensed within the year (sometimes while it's still on TV), so it seems a waste of time and effort to fansub it. But with manga there's a good chance that what I translate today won't be licensed for years. This assumes, of course, that I avoid manga that has already been made into anime; those are a shoe-in for licensing.
