Well, sinemerald from sakurahonyaku has placed placed Hyouketsu Kyoukai no Eden as one of his/her possible translation projects into the poll, and it is actually winning by a fair margin. Then again, he/she did say the votes will not be the only factor in his/her decision. I wish him/her good luck with that, cause I faced some retards who did not understand that particular line the previous time I said it in my only poll ever conducted here.

I'm quite okay with this if he/she really wants to do this. I was planning to work a little on vol 4, but I guess I'll put it on hold and wait to see his/her final decision before deciding on whether to continue or not. Don't wanna work on it halfway and he/she decides to pick it up - will be a waste of my time.
If you guys want to see it be translated by a better translator at a faster pace (and translating straight from JP->EN to boot), you might want to consider voting in that poll. Not just vote really. Say something useful and convincing in the comments. Because I think he/she's someone who gives more attention at good comments rather than just digits and figures that can be rigged. Like me.
That's all.
Just your light novels translations (from Chinese to Engrish) and stuff.
Not sure wether this is a bad news or not but it seems that Mondaiji is leading up in the vote with a overwhelming comeback. Hyouketsu is in the 2nd place...
ReplyDeleteI don't really care. If sinemerald takes it up, I'll be a little sad to let it go, but I guess fans will prefer instant gratification instead of waiting. If he doesn't take it up, I'll see how the situation goes. I'll just work on SPS till sinemerald makes his/her decision.
ReplyDeleteAnd again, my stand is that anonymous online polls should serve as nothing more but a yardstick to help you in your decision. It will be incredibly stupid for someone to base their decisions entirely on just the poll itself.
If I am sinemerald, I'll narrow the options to Mondaitachi and Eden and decide through the comments posted.
DeleteWas someone spamming the votes because Mondaitachi got a lot of votes in a short amount of time?
ReplyDeletenah~ apparently some facebook fan group for Mondaitachi put up the link and they flooded the votes in...~
ReplyDeleteMany also came from mondaiji threads in MAL.
ReplyDeletefaster pace? sure. better translator? ehh...
ReplyDeleteid rather see u do the series :/
Aww, that's kinda nice.
DeleteBut anyone's a better translator than me, really.
Totally disagree with that =), ur much better than me lol.
Deletesame anon as above.
Deleteyour translations are pretty good and i really enjoy them.
the guy on this sakura site... im not convinced he knows english too well.
try it for yourself: sakurahonyaku.wordpress.com/2013/02/21/seirei-tsukai-no-blade-dance-volume-5-epilogue/
:/ :/ :/ :/
And the poll is already going into a direction I really have zero interest in :D
ReplyDeleteMondaiji-tachi ga Isekai Kara Kuru Soudesu yo?, along with Sakurasou were propably the very last things I'd vote for...
If you continue for a bit I might be able to help out sooner or later. Currently studying Japanese on university level, but not at the point were I can accurately and reliably translate things at a comfortable pace. If I were to translate something, HKnE and Mismarca Koukoku Monogatari would be definetely my top priority. I'd contact you when the time comes
