Just got the first batch in. Thoughts? Anything I should ask for the editor to change?

Trying this one by one instead of all 3 in a single post.

Also Kirche or Kirushe?

Fap has it one way and other translator has it the other way. Please let me know which you prefer.

This is the one I need to clarify how to to spell the character's name. 2 Different translators have two different spellings.

Kirche or Kirushe

Please let me know which one you want me to use

These are beautifully done, the translated wording is well placed.

Post by: Ricin on June 17, 2019, 07:03:20 PM
Yeah. The guy I got doing the work has been doing our doujins for a while and has been editing translation text into doujins for longer than that.

He does excellent work at a fair price.

I am glad we have him on the payroll, but since he/she has graduated college and is working in graphical design I don't know if they will be able to keep doing the work. I will ask if they can recommend another person like their predecessor did.

Thanks, I had to cut down some of Kajashima's excess. The Airi on had a whole half sentence explaining what a cleansuit is.

I am liking the work done so far.

I would love it if they did, but we're talking a huge amount of pages to translate (and they would probably fudge the images, though that is more an issue with paperback page size and printer capabilities)

I think you meant larger they get.

Also my edits guy was doing stuff to clean up any defects from the images. So that might explain why they look so "HD"
Title: Re: GXP Novel images in English
Post by: GP cadet 87 on July 16, 2019, 08:02:27 PM
Yeah, first time I saw the picture of Amane in GXP book 1 my first thought was "Yowza! She looks *way* hotter than in the anime!"

Though to be fair the character models from the anime was wildly inconsistent. There are scenes/shots where all the girls look very attractive

Seeing Young!Mikami was another huge shock for me too. The first relatively "unattractive" woman in the Tenchiverse turns out to be another super hottie.  :heysexy:
Title: Re: GXP Novel images in English
Post by: Ricin on July 17, 2019, 01:27:49 AM
Yeah, If I had not read the novels young mikami in OVA 4 was a retcon.

Kajashima made great things, he just needs an editor to streamline his ideas and make the story move right.

Title: Re: GXP Novel images in English
Post by: GP cadet 87 on August 07, 2019, 12:52:09 PM
Kajishima was turning his sci-fi fanboyism and fetishes into a franchhise way before e-publishing made it possible for all of us. :)

Seriously though, there's no denying that Kajishima has been as influential as Tolkien within the harem sub-genre. I think you can trace quite a lot of current isekai stories to Tenchi if you think about it. A lot of these stories have OP MC's in polygamous relationships.

Quite a few of these isekai stories have the hero  endwith multiple lovers now, way more than just a decade ago; that may have as much to do with DxD and To Love Ru's success, but can't deny TM still being a factor.

No matter how popular stories like Mushoku Tensei and In Another World With My Smartphone are, Kajishima-san did the Marry Them All trope first. ;)

Seeing those image captions in English, makes them way funnier now that we have context. Kiriko was so embarrassed seeing Seina naked (?) that she threw him into a group of rivals lol. Amane and Erma's expressions are great too. :)

Well the light novels 14 and 15 were showing up late 2016 through mid 2017 in the sales charts JP. This overlaps with the debut of not only OVA 4, but the planning with Seven Seas for the True Tenchi adapted materials. If anything, the plot threads could have gotten convoluted throughout these other focuses.

Not yet, If I had to guess 2021 but Kajishima usually lets us know in the doujins afterwords section.

I wonder what Kajishima is going to do once GXP ends. I wonder if he'll start another novel series, or just stick to his doujins and trying to get more anime made.

I think he has options. You have Tenchi: Next Generation with his kids, you have Mirror Seto's arc if it is not resolved in the Renza Arc ( I think Seina find's her key and she Bangs the shit out of him as a reward, there are alusions to that in the Paradise was Tenchi Ban), ISM 2 could be a play as they were planning on another story before extraction.

Whatever it is I hope to see more
