"Seirei Produce" Chapter 4

K3

I’m so relieved we were able to get this out now.  Basically, the raw was so awful that we were having a difficult time cleaning and making the final producｔ look decent.  It was such an awful experience that I put things off on this chapter.  A few of you, though, wrote in asking when chapter 4 was coming, so I decided to “rip the band-aid off” and get this over with.  “Big thanks” to Silver Lunar who shared in the cleaning pain and thanks to Luna for doing the Photoshop filter experiments. So…chapter 4…we get some more fun with … Continue reading "Seirei Produce" Chapter 4

Merit in "Ouran" and "The Scarecrow of Oz," Plus, Other Fun Stuff

K3

Here’s some bits from an e-mail discussion I had with Corgi about “Ouran” and “The Scarecrow of Oz.”  This might, also, give you some insight into the thought that goes into translation. Black Text = CorgiRed Text = Kuroneko003 Please feel free to add to the conversation or make you own comments.  I really like “The Scarecrow of Oz” and found a lot of meaning in it.  Furthering the discussion about “Ouran” is welcomed too :).————————- Page 6: ‘Merit’ – heh.  Reminds me of Haruhi’s discussion with Kyoya during his fake assault.  I keep thinking there’s implications to the word-as-translated … Continue reading Merit in "Ouran" and "The Scarecrow of Oz," Plus, Other Fun Stuff

"Ozu no Kakashi Tsukai" ("The Scarecrow of Oz") Chapter 1

K3

  Here it is!  “Ozu no Kakashi Tsukai” or “The Scarecrow of Oz” Link to “Ozu no Kakashi Tsukai” This is one of those stories that kinda sneaks up on you when you start to think of its deeper meanings.  I think the key themes in this story are what is merit and what does it mean to have merit.  Also, this story is rife with references to the “Wizard of Oz” and the themes within that story.  See how many of them you can catch :). I had a very interesting e-mail conversation with one of my proofreaders, Corgi, … Continue reading "Ozu no Kakashi Tsukai" ("The Scarecrow of Oz") Chapter 1

"Seirei Produce" Chapter 3

K3

Update — July 5, 2010:  Eep!  It looks like I missed a small dialog bubble on page 24.  It’s an insignificant piece of dialog (“gah”), but I went ahead and added it.  The file has the same name, so the link below is still valid.————————————-Here is “Seirei Produce” chapter 3 (and no I wasn’t joking about “strip rock-paper-scissors”).  In this chapter we are more formally introduced to the kitsune character (though we don’t learn his name).    We also get to see a new side of Gojou’s character.  After this chapter I can’t decide who is my favorite character.  Hmm…perhaps I’ll … Continue reading "Seirei Produce" Chapter 3

Poll Results: Joshua’s Punishment

K3

21 Sack Beatings 17 Sack Full of Nickels Beatings 13 Hugs 26 Convenient Disney Deaths I’m actually quite surprised by the number of people with sympathy for Joshua.  Well…I guess we’ll see what will become of Joshua in a chapter or two.  I still maintain that he will be sacrificed. On the matter of “Zettai Heiwa Daisakusen,” I did read that chapter 17 was the climax of the story.  I suppose this means the series is ending soon.  I don’t know how many chapters are left, but chapter 18 or 19 will be the end of the fourth volume.
