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.

I read it twice and made notes on the second readthrough, but never got around to commenting on it.

For example, I believe it would be noteworthy of making mention that in GXP2 they're talking about Precivilization Earth, the same Earth Dual took place on. Then in GXP13 Seina lands on Precivilization Mars, which I first thought was a resource stripped Earth, but I'm fairly certain is Mars. And this is why Zinv was inside the remains of an entombed spaceship.

Another thing of note, I'm not sure which volume, Kenneth and Raiju are talking about the Astral Sea, they may have hinted at how Tenchi, Misaki or possibly a yet unknown god-like existence came into being. Like the higher dimensional being we're introduced to in Kajishima's conceptual -If- series doujinshi, which appears loosely tied to Masquerade.

And as an added bonus, I noticed that in a GPX8 b&w image Ringo looks an awful lot like Ifurita. Which upon noticing this similarity makes her waking up inside a shipping container all the more amusing.

I 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.

Thank 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!

Man 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.

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. 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.

Well 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.

Thinking 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.
