Title: summarization help
Post by: Eff Efferson on January 28, 2020, 02:35:17 AM
So I'm working on summerizing the entire kajishimaverse timeline... obviously this is a huge endevour, I was wondering if anyone would be willing to help, all you have to do is.. well watch one of the shows or one of the books and summerize the main plot of an episode.  all of dual has been summerised so far but like i still need aggaruter issekai gxp 1-12 photon and tenchi ova 1-3 summerised

if it doesn't have anything to do with the over arching plot in general and is slice of life fluf you can summerize it in like one line... for example instead of writing the details of all the shenanigans yayoi does at kazuki's place you can summerize like a 3rd of her episode of dual as "yayoi starts intruding on kazuki's daily life at home and it bugs mitsuki."

for example the episode of OVA 2 I love tenchi can be compressed into something like:

one day tenchi is carrying carrots back from the feild when ryo-ohki trys to help by levitating him, but a car comes by and in a panic tenchi has her drop him spilling the carrots which he has to pick up and continue taking back home by himself, when he gets home  he finds that ryoko has put on his mothers old outfit, as this happens sasami sends ryo-ohki up to get tenchi. Ryoko tears the outfit as she shows it off to tenchi and he yells at her, but ryo-ohki having popped in at the worst possible moment ,thinks she is talking to him. ryo-ohki goes running off in tears into washus lab where she encounters liforms known as the mass, whom she is partially made of, washu consoles her and she goes back up stairs, tench finds he and appologizes to her, ryoko finds him and appologizes to him by handing him the dress which is now poorly sewn back together.

later that night ryo-ohki wants to go with tenchi but she makes her stay home because he doesn't want anyone seeing her levitating him again. Ryo-ohki runs to washu to ask her to help her with the situation but washu is busy, she goes to cry about it back at the tank filled with mass and the mass start paying attention to her, washu explains what they are and then ayeka calls her and ryo-ohki back to the house to watch soap operas, their soap operas are interupted by a gp anouncement that the gp ship shunga has been stolen, as they watch the mass combine and break out of the lab, they find out but can't find the mass, washu explains the mass to the girls and explains that they follow strong wills and must be following ryo-ohki, durring the explanation ryoko is knocked out for a bit.  they check ryo-ohkis memories and realize that she wanted to go help tenchi in the feilds, they run out to save tenchi from the mass which is now shaped like a girl. when the mass gets near tenchi it senses his power and tries to attack him but ryoko comes swooping in late and distracts it, ryo-ohki jumps on the mass and assemilates it,  she aquires two new forms, an adult hamoid form, which she has trouble walking in and a child humanoid form. From then on she has a form that she can help tenchi in the feilds with.

Interesting, are you looking to weave this together with the True Tenchi light novel formatting style? I think it is a good benchmark for how much of an episode to allude to in any one paragraph.

I'm looking to hopefully make a video series with them read outloud  so people who can't devote time to reading or watching can catch up on the plot or maybe have the plot explained to them by someone who gets what's going on.  the point of them is to explain everything so far. :/ the way your typical review show does.

I hope to help out. I have to take care of some family stuff and then I can work on the GXP novels.

How do you get it down to such a short series of sentences. I just summarized Chapter 1 of GXP 1 and it was 2 pages.

are you kidding two pages for chapter 1 is great considering its an entire episode. most of the other chapters are like 5 minits of an episode at best

i need someone to double check over my pre-tenchi history, make sure i didn't leave anything out.

I still need to summerize photon and geminars history but that's really not readily in my head.

Thanks Eff, is there a category on the Fandom you want to port these over to, or keeping them on the translationblog website for now?

Remember when I said 2 pages was big, Chapter 3 is 5.5 pages long because there is so much important story info there. I hope to have Chapter 4 done by Monday night.

Come on man, you have done so much heavy lifting that it would bring shame onto the fandom if we didn't help. 😁😁😁.

2 will be easier but establishing the foundation is important or future summaries will be full of WTF moments.

btw i played gap p finally.

the first option you have picking the wrong one gets you a censored pic of kei from aggaruter and leads to an early ending.  also from the extra scene selection option you cana ctually tell that for some reason miki has a sex scene in the game... but shes an extra character...

so far I have summerized everything up to the end of OVA 1 if you ever wondered what the fuck is going on in the tenchi verse from the perspective of someone who's memoriesed allllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll of the universes history then you're in luck

i suggest everyone read over this because hoenstly it will put so many things in the series in a different persepective

https://tenchimuyotranslationblog.blogspot.com/2020/02/gxp-2-summary.html i did a summary for GXP 2 of my own

Roger that. My two cents, imagine someone reading through the summary like a Darkest Dungeon play or some tabletop roleplaying game in review. Missed opportunities and poor dice rolls are not really the main focus, it's how far along they got. So right away, the 'whisked into the jungle' scene seems extraneous. However, your wording is preferable and the plot points carefully retained throughout. I will use some of this in the next GXP volume update, appreciated.

the whishked into the jungle thing is so totaly extraneous that its literaly in the text as a summary lol. i thought about leaving it out but seina recalls it later in the series and yes its stupid but that one scene explains why seina is so starved for chicken in the tenchi cross over episode. because they don't have chicken in space the closest thing they have is that bird that the hunter was poaching...

however i know my summaires are over extended cause im going to record them for people who are just lazy and want to watch a youtube vid on the series so they can passivly absorb stuff to catch up

Hey that's great. Some of the Fandom genres actually embed a video summary at the top span of the more significant articles. Would be great to link the GXP ones you make someday.

Much appreciated, it is particularly good to see the redone portion where Amane asks Seina to move in with her!
