Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-ohki / Re: Nontan Project Translation...
Last post by BobSchlotkin - April 07, 2025, 07:58:36 AMI was poking around doing my usual searches for the missing Nontan Project Doujins and ran across this thing.
のんたんプロジェクト (梶島正樹) おためしぼん
Nontan Project (Masaki Kajishima) Trial Bon
It's sold out, of course! I'll add it to my list of weekly search items.
Anyone ever heard of this one?
Thanks!

Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-ohki / Re: Nontan Project Translation...
Last post by BobSchlotkin - April 07, 2025, 07:43:20 AMI finally finished the machine translation of (C46) Tenchi Youhou.
https://e-hentai.org/g/3306350/0f4964d23a/
(C47) Tenchi Sokuhou is still missing.
I guess (C48) Tenchi Zokuhou is next.
Enjoy!

I would assume this project is an outgrowth of their experience of localizing and selling that Tenchi Super Nintendo video game cart long ago.
Imo, I don't think they are doing this for money, per se. They probably could have printed this up with little pushback from the copyright holders, as rampant Tenchi fantasy and fanmade merchandise have existed on amazon and ebay for years without takedowns, some of it like wall scrolls that are direct pirate copies from official Japanese Tenchi art -- mostly from the 90s. This is further muddied by the defunct Geneon Pioneer company that probably would only make a takedown even less likely.
Like the Tenchi Muyo wiki project, I think the real motivation is what they allude to the end, making further comics. But then these would be "official"! Then they can finally have the "official" story they want. It's a bit of a sad stretch.
Most normal people would be content to make fanart and fanfiction to see the alternative stories/endings they want... well, maybe not normal people , but most semi-normal fans. I suppose that's not good enough.
Anyway, there was a good scan of these comic floating out in one of the torrents compiling Tenchi series a long while back iirc. These stories are fundamentally very much if someone read a summary of Tenchi muyo somewhere along with storyboard art and the very rudimentary basic plotlines, and then executed it in an 1970s-1990s American comic book art style, drama, and storylines to them.
It's a really baffling vehicle to attach this strange attempt...
I have asked Matt Lunsford, original artist of this comic and who semi-regularly posted some time back in a Facebook Tenchi Muyo fangroup, if this was legitimate and what he knows about this, but he just replied, "We'll see what happens."

Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-ohki / Pretty Sammy and Magical Proje...
Last post by Kokoro - April 01, 2025, 07:58:39 PMSo, I've got an idea for either a fan fiction, solo-role playing game, or something in between. I'm not really sure which yet. But I got to thinking about this as I was daydreaming about a new signature graphic.
I love magical girls. And as I got to thinking about my favorite characters, I have a few of them, but I wanted to specialize within the Magical Girl genre for right now. We need--- I need hope.
Fate Testarossa Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha), Skuld (Ah! My Goddess), and Sasami (Well, I hope you know HER!?).
I was going through a bunch of various online photo dumps for images, looking for the perfect images, and that's when I finally settled on Sasami. One of her as Pretty Sammy in her ultra cute magical girl outfit, and then I remembered the foggy bits of personality from her character -- hey, it's been like 20 years, okay? And I thought, ya know, she's probably make for a "peace keeper" type of personality within a trio.
Anyway, my story plot, and it's still very much a work in progress, Sasami, Skuld, and Fate all get transported into some kind of disintegrating dimension. Both Skuld and Fate would be used to exploring alternate dimensions. Sasami and Fate are both familiar with space travel. So this already adds minimial tension.
Fate is the most mentally mature of the group. Skuld is the most physcally mature. And Sasami is probably the most magical of the group. From what I've read on the subway home, Sasami's magic doesn't always work correctly. Kind of like how Skuld's inventions don't necessarily work all the time either. Both Sasasi and Fate have ... shall we say abandonment issues? Like that's the wrong word, um... both have a sense of ... imposter syndrome?
Anyway, I'm digressing really badly here. The story will most definietly be a humorous one, where the true and tried trope of all magical girls shows comes in force. The power of love, teamwork, and dedication to justice. Basically, in a nutshell, the three girls must learn to work together to make their way out of this crumbling dimension. And, maybe they must actually save or repair this dimension from completely collapsing--trapping them inside, or possibly leaking ill-effects into their home dimensions.
Um, anyway, the question I have, since I've been a bad girl, and haven't watched Pretty Sammy yet (I think there are actually two different shows?) I need to find some good resources so I can get Sasami's world, personality and magical workings correctly played out on paper. I figured I'd come here and hope that there's somebody here who could point me in the correct direction? I'm really excited to begin writing this plot/game/arc/whatever-thingamajigy out, but I want to ensure that I've got the characters down correctly.

Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-ohki / Abarth U.G.E. Connection
Last post by BobSchlotkin - March 28, 2025, 07:57:04 AMI was poking around on Mercari the other day and ran across this doujin from the misc section.
(C45) Abarth U.G.E. Connection has stuff from Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki OVA 1 episode 6 and Dirty Pair Flash.
I'll get around to translating the very limited Japanese in this after I finish Tenchi Youhou. Hopefully next week.

Enjoy.

Other Anime / Re: Digimon
Last post by Ryo-Okay - March 20, 2025, 02:18:11 AMWell, that was definitely the best Digimon Con so far. Each segment actually had something to show so everyone could walk away happy.
Time Stranger is looking good and has a sizeable roster of 450 Digimon, which I think is the most in any Digimon game. The real world areas have been expanded, and it seems like they are putting emphasis on making the digital world actually feel lived in. No release date being announced makes me think the 2025 release date might not happen, but I guess we'll see.
The TCG segment did indeed announce a mobile version, which is cool for the people that like the TCG. I don't play, so it wasn't of much interest to me. It was nice to see it will seemingly have a story and characters and isn't just a lazy rushed out app. Gemmon is kind of lame though. Also Liberator is continuing which is cool. I need to get around to reading that.
The toy segment also didn't have much to appeal to me since I don't buy much these days. Getting stuff off Premium Bandai is more expensive than I'm willing to pay. The Godzilla crossover v-pets looked cool though. The Godzilla Digimon I think looked great.
Then finally, they wrapped the show up with the Digimon Beyond PV, which looked more interesting to me than all the other Adventure sequel movies. I still haven't watched the last 4 Tri movies, Kizuna, or The Brgining. I would check out Beyond if it was a movie though. Then it ended with a teaser for Digimon Beatbreak, a new anime coming in October. It didn't show much, but the MC and MCmon certainly look interesting.

Other Anime / Re: Digimon
Last post by Ryo-Okay - March 17, 2025, 02:55:42 PMA lot of stuff is happening before Digimon Con. The TCG seems to be teasing a mobile version, and there was seemingly a leaked screenshot from a trailer for it.

Then we have something called Digimon Alysion that was trademarked by Bandai. I have no clue what this could be.

Digimon Con is only a couple of days away, but it is looking to be the most worthwhile one since Digimon Con started.
