[rant] Plans


Tech just emailed me a "to-do-list", which I find funny, because most of what's on it is probably stuff he should be taking care of... especially since I've been pretty much throwing out releases left and right while everyone else was messing around.  Don't get me wrong, though - I had a wonderful Christmas, albeit half spent in the hospital.  I don't know if it's because I'm more serious about it than the others, but that's just how I roll.  

Speaking of which, I might as well update you guys on what's going on, at the moment.  I'm currently halfway done with the repacking of Mozaiku X Sanshimai Chapters 7 and 8.  Tech is getting over his hangover from Vegas, and he just threw a Panty & Stocking doujinshi on my lap; Dask is on vacation (possibly where I'm at, which means I need to hunt him down); Kraut is probably invading some random nation; and Scripted just sent me a cleaned copy of another Uraraka work she has planned for us.  So yeah... I guess that means they aren't dead.

But I had a weird spark go up in my head when I took a look at my bookshelf.  I've always been a fan of  Range Murata, and I've been collecting his ROBOT Super Manga series for quite some time.  I've only collected up to volume 6, but it struck me that there have only been Serialized English versions of this work up to volume 5... the remaining volumes 6 to 10 have yet to be translated. D:

So basically... that's a little "idea" I have in my head, right now.  I'm not about ready to unbind my copy of ROBOT, just yet... just wondering if other people have been waiting for the last 5 volumes, only to end up stuck on volume 5 for the last... I dunno, 2-3 years?

  1. I would love, LOVE to have a P&SwG as a colaboration with Trinity. Alas, that's up to your team to decide.

    Godspeed with the workload. Happy new year.

    Well, throw one our way and let's see. :) I, personally, don't find a P&SwG doujin appealing... unless it's got stocking and a quasi-SD look... mmm...

  3. Unfortunately, not many Panty ?& Stocking doujins have been scanned. I've sent a mail with a couple of options, though.

  4. FYI, that P&SwG doujin might be in the process of being translated by another group already.

    Also, hasn't Dask practically been on vacation since Black Ops came out?

  5. You're right. That Panty & Stocking doujin has already been translated by LittleWhiteButterflies.

  6. I thought you were planning to re-do that kneesocks one? At least I saw tech make a comment like that.

  7. I have no idea what tech is up to, honestly. From what I see, the P&SwG doujinshi that tech gave me isn't one of the ones LWB did.

    You'll be surprised, but I actually corresponded with him a bit before he actually went on vacation. He was set up to clean something for us before leaving... then I had to say "redraw", and he gave me the finger and left. :P

    He'll be back, though. I think. D:

  9. I would love to see the remainder of ROBOT volumes translated. I'm one of those people whose been sitting with the five English volumes for the last few years...First DMP pops and then Udon, URG...

    Sweet! Good to know there's someone out there in the same predicament as me. :P

    Well... kinda... because I already have Vol 6 and I can understand it anyway... *insert evil laugh*

    I'm not dead set on ripping up my book just to do it... I was hoping I could find someone willing to do the scans for me, and I'd willingly translate it for them. Still... to debind such a lovely book is just... criminal D:

  11. Currently it looks like Drupal is the best blogging platform out there right now.
    (from what I've read) Is that what you're using on your blog?
