Last post by Ryo-Okay - May 05, 2025, 01:03:31 PMI hope an English manga publisher like Seven Seas or J-Novel Club is paying attention to this kickstarter. There is still a market for Tenchi stuff in the west, somebody should relicense the Okuda manga.

Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-ohki / Re: Pretty Sammy and Magical P...
Last post by Kokoro - May 04, 2025, 08:36:25 PMThank you! I'm really excited to write about this story. Four of my favorite anime combined, with lots of cameo apperences of other favorites. It's a shame this is fan-fiction, because, I'm sure this would be an epic novel!
On a side note, I finished watching Magical Girl Pretty Sammy. It's similar but has a more in-depth feel to it. It's a shame it's only three episodes long!

Last post by Eff Efferson - May 03, 2025, 12:27:42 AMMan that reminds me I can't believe how long ago it actually was that I did those translations started in late 2015 it's coming up on 10 years... Can't believe it's been 7 since the last novel I just got it the other day in my head. I appreciate the feedback back newbie but for perspective this is a long long over project for me. If there's a section I cut that your curious about you can just ask here I'll fish it up from the raws I have lying around so someone can get it translated. Tbh I'm happy anyone has comments on it cause honestly nearly no one was reading it when I was doing it and it was frustrating.

Anyone is free to submit translations of parts I missed and I'll add the changes
Well, I had planned to do them after I saw what the first chapter of GXP 15 had to offer. I took a look at the Acha's dance scene and you were right, it was pretty creepy. I still have it on my list of things to do, but I'm working on the Nontan stuff right now. After the June release of GXP 18, I'll dump everything for that! I really want to see where he goes with it.

Last post by Eff Efferson - May 02, 2025, 05:48:03 PMQuote from: nero999 on April 30, 2025, 06:56:30 PMWell it's moments like these where he freely admits to cutting out huge parts of the story that he thought were "pointless" or "too long". Like, "getting from point A to point B" shouldn't be the point of reading.I mean guilty I openly admit to it. Wouldn't say their huge portions. I'd say it's a sentence here n there and then a few clucking hen scenes ( a scene where the girls go I at seina no I want seina) and the large reason I cut things out was because I had 20 something novels to translate, the main plot points were more nessessary to get to for the sake of clearing up continuity for the fandom. Often the lines were nonsensical in the translater and broken apart and I made a lot of commentary originally, so I figured someone would eventually go back and fill it in down the line. But for the sake of readability I ended up erasing most of my commentary over the many many revisions.
I'm still hoping someday we get full professional releases. But till then my release is what it is. The best effort of one person who can half read Japanese half read Google translate giving you as much as he can. It took 3+ years of my free time to translate all that and I knew what was there I really don't have to even go into that much detail I just did for others sake. So enjoy it or don't but it's free .I'm not going to take requests on the output. It's a done project for me. Your comments are a fair assessment. You should've read the true tenchi novel summaries we got before I came in and did my thing. One was very accurate event by event but pure japenglish and the englishyer ones were all sorts of poorly inaccuratly summarized and omissive you'd pop a blood vessel if you think my works sloppy haha that's said it thought bob was supposed to retranslate an add those spots back in in his revisions but i guess he never got round to it and like again volunteer labor so, not gonna fret it.

Last post by BobSchlotkin - May 02, 2025, 05:44:37 AMThinking about it, I realize just how much work Eff put into the GXP series. I've had the advantage of translation sites that have a much better grasp on Japanese then when Eff was doing it. Occasionally, a whole page will machine translate and not require any modifications.

Last post by BobSchlotkin - May 02, 2025, 05:41:38 AMYa know, you can always do what I did.
I bought GXP 17, scanned it, OCR'd it, and then went though all 400+ pages verifying EVERY character in the book OCR'd properly. Then I spent most of a year actually translating it. It's been through a couple of editions as I've found and fixed various mistakes. Oh, I also did the Paradise War series from scratch. In fact, I've already ordered GXP 18 and will be starting that whole cycle again when it shows up in mid-June.
I've also been working my way through the Nontan Project interviews as I've been curious for years what was actually discussed in them. Add to that I'm also scanning and translating whatever comes out of the most recent Comiket.
Feel free to jump in and start working on any of the novels you have an issue with.
