In other news, I did finish doing most of the translation of Otogibanashi no Hajimari, but I need to revise those parts that I had trouble with by finding people online who can help me. If by any chance there is someone who is well-versed in the Japanese language out there reading this blog, I’d welcome any help.

Otherwise, I’ve been watching more anime, Code Geass, and Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni. Of the two, I think I’d recommend Higurashi, because while CG has its moments, I still am dubious about whether they will pull through in the end and resolve everything. I think there are too many characters and too many subplots, and it would work better if they reduced things and focused on a few main themes.

Higurashi, on the other hand, I strongly endorse if you like horror. It looks like generic moe, but that’s just a trap. It’s some awesome mindbending horror/action/mystery/supernatural/conspiracy stuff. XD It’s like every arc they decide to start on a new genre. I’m just about to start on the last arc, and am looking forward to it.

Have also been reading Pluto, a Naoki Urasawa (who is awesome, same guy who did Monster and 20th Century Boys) manga, which I also highly recommend, especially if you love talking robots.

Am also plotting a reread of Ravages of Time, and perhaps even finally getting a page on it together! We in the English RoT fandom are so few… I feel a need to publicize it more. Indeed, if you’re interested in checking it out, look here. It’s a manhua (Chinese comic) based on the story of the Three Kingdoms, but puts a decidedly different twist on the story from the famous novel, Romance of the Three Kingdoms. The art is extremely awesome, as are the action scenes, and even better, it’s filled with plotting and strategy.
