Props for the translations. I enjoyed reading them.

Heh...

Jackie Chan's autograph looks different from the one I got for "The Myth".
I do know that he changes his autograph after a certain amount of years, though. Many celebrities do that.

Excellent job, Herms. And thank you very much for sharing it. I really enjoyed reading it. I got a kick out of Jackie Chan's statement.

I could not help but smile a bit, when I read this part of the super interview.

Q: It's rumored that you don't keep any reference materials at all in your studio, but when you first started drawing battle scenes, what did you have there to consult?
A: Yeah, what did I use? It's a pet peeve of mine when people look at other manga for hints. (laughs) However, stuff like movies that I watched a long time ago stay in my head, so maybe I used those.

Now I know that Mr. Toriyama himself would pretty much view Toyble's AF manga the same way I do. You cannot just copy off of someone else's manga to draw yours.

If only we had a site like yours back in the day...

Excellent work!

You just don't understand the complexity and talent of Toyble's DBA-

Wow, couldn't type that with a straight face.

What more can I say, never thought anyone would go through the trouble of translating the entire thing for viewing. A very big thanks, I can't wait for the next for the next coverage.

Yes, it was a good job--now can you do the other 9 books, please? Starting with #7?

Just kidding. Or am I?

The next one that we'll do will be #2. I suppose that we'll probably stick to doing them numerical order.

Wouldn't number 7 be a lot easier, since it's a lot of text, with fewer pictures? We all know how time consuming making so many scans and formatting them for pleasurable viewing can be. Heh, so maybe that's a little semantic, but still.

Hey, just knowing you actually do plan to do the rest is good news to me.

First of all, lots of text = more work. Pictures don't require any effort. You just move them. But text has to be translated.

Hence why TripleRach is doing #7 first in her own "translate them all" project. She wants to get the text heavy ones out of the way first.

Hey, guys. May I ask... is it hard to get one of the copies of (a) Daizenshuu? What would the cost be? Thanks.

SonEric84 · Post by **SonEric84** » Tue Mar 25, 2008 3:16 pm

Usually you can find them on eBay for about 20-30 bucks a piece. There are also quite a few Japanese sellers that have sets of all 7 for about $199.

I really don't understand ,how I type so wrong . I even checked it , lol . Anyways ,

Tnx for answering , I think Ebay will help me , but can't someone just fool you and you pay him and never send something. Ebay is just a online place to find people with your needings , what if people take more money from your creditcard then needed. I really need to work with Ebay Lol .

Just make sure you bid on items from reputable sellers. If you use paypal to pay, it only takes the exact amount and I am pretty sure the seller doesn't even get to see your number. (Not positive on that though.) And as for your typing, see the red text? That's where corrections were made. No capitals at the beginning of sentences, spaces between punctuation marks, it just looks a little sloppy, that's all.

Check again.

WTTFFFF WAHAHAH , I'm only 14 so give me a break Ok Lol . Now totally didn't understand the spaced and period things. Let me watch it carefully now.

EDIT: Ok, so I understood the space part, but the ' Anyways' part, is still not clear. Even thought that doesn't matter. You guys don't really mind that, right

me at 12 in a crappy shortstory wrote:"Congratulations," he said in a cold icy voice, "You have made it passed my outer defenses. But you cannot make it past me."

But I think you said English is your second language, right? Hmm.
... what was the topic, again?
Oh, right. Daizenshuu. *still needs to read the translation at Kanzentai*

[edit]

"Alright, so in Japanese what they did here was take the English writing on the car and translate it into Japanese. Of course, when you translate that entire
sentence into English, it comes off seeming rather... redundantly redundant." Hehehehehe... that's a Daizex the podcast reference... XD [/edit]
