So, I've been working on my translation projects off and on for the past few weeks. The Tuyokiss 4-koma are proving difficult. Sometimes it's an unclear subject, sometimes it's the self imposed restrictions on the job, and sometimes it's just the phrasiology used. Kinu's in particular has been giving me a hard time. I'm also working on Tawamurerumono, which are some Utawarerumono comics by

This is the first game from al|together 2006 that I finished.It was very short. I didn't time it, but I would venture to guess it easily took less than twenty minutes to finish. The second thing I noticed about it was that it was confusing. POV changed several times without warning. That didn't help following it at all. I also didn't get the point. I finish and, aside from the pretty CG, I

A full post on my thoughts about Utawarerumono now that I have finished. Anyone not wanting spoilers should be warned that things I talk about will have spoilers for unsubbed episodes.But first, to mark the areas with spoilers for easy breezing over I shall post my two favorite CGs. I should also mention that, given that the naming sequences of the characters is pretty obviously non-Japanese

Here's my first non-school translation project. I did this last summer. I revamped it somewhat. Used bold text instead of plain. Dropped the honorifics. Dropped most of the '...' things. The Japanese love those and they appear everywhere in manga and games. I find them a little overbearing most of the time. So I cut 'em. Also fixed a few errors I saw, some of them most embarrassing.These

Okay, so I'm up to episode 9.April, Tsubomi, and Tamao-chan are pure awesome.April totally doesn't act like student council president. Her club activities are awesome, plus there's the whole awesomeness of her club members. Their appearence in the OP led me to nickname them the Magical Girl Squad before I even met them.Tsubomi is concentrated awesome. This is especially true given her stature

First I shall give links to two relevant Wikipedia articles:RomanizationNihon-sikiIt is very important to remember that several things in Nihon-siki will be confusing to English speakers. Japanese follows certain patterns for it's syllables, however, some consonants are affected by the following vowel and change. For example, this means that when 't' is followed by a high front vowel it

Okay, I set up this blog primarily as a place to post the translations I do. Now, the first thing to mention is that my Japanese skills are not top of the line. They are mediocre at best. Many of these projects will be done specifically for practice. If you have the original, comments on the quality of translation, what could be done to improve, things I may not know, and the like would be
