I wasn't the one who really pointed that out.

In the novels and anime, nobody actually refers to Koizumi by the first name, you know. But methinks we digress too far. As for Haruki/Haruhiko, if they wanted a specific name, the Japanese fandom should have been here earlier to vote on it. They could also settle the sliders debate. Unless of course, Kyoani makes an OVA using Haruhiko, then I would suggest the writers do a ctrl-f job.

I know; my initial reply was to vivify.

Unless you count the movie

And that is what we shall be doing.

Lol, thanks.

I want to do Kyon's image song one day but my voice register is all buggered around atm. Also Kyon's screams of pain are quite hard to do correctly.

Yeah, well... that's Itsuki in katakana, who's the main character in a scifi/harem/school life comedy show; not our lovable sexually ambigious wingman.

Technically Mikuru was the main character, Itsuki was just the male lead.

*e* And it was more of a Magical Girl parody than anything... at least until the plot completely disappeared

No matter how well you do, you'll always play second fiddle to Sugita.

[DannyCat]

Randomly, I decided to enter "Kyonko" into Google and see what the autocomplete suggested:



Kyunki?

[Kogetsu Shirogane]

I'm actually more amused by the fact that none of those actually has "kyonko" in it

Yes, but I'm better than Crispin Freeman. Or at least that's what the Youtube Voices say. And they never lie.

You're a surprisingly good singer.

I love that song...

[Jintor]

What do you think I do in my free time, Edit things?

[Discreet]

I try to, but the shit is DENSE.

In all seriousness though, I'm halfway done with Chapter 1. Hopefully the next half won't take me a week like this one has.

So feel free, Kaisos, to go on without this slow worthless editor.

Okay. That'll work...
Now, we just need someone to write it down. I'd volunteer, but I have no private Internet access. My family needs to buy a router for my room ($39 at the least), and with our money problems, that's gonna take a few years.

As far as Mitsuru/Mitsuuru, either-or. Romanization styles are wacky that way.

I know all about it being Haruhiko and Itsuki-with-different-Kana in Japan. I just thought (Like apparently Danchou does) the names the writers are using in the rewrites of the novels are the ones you all agreed upon in the wee stages of this massive project.

Consistency, though... some of the changes you make might affect later chapters...

I'm back from a three day trip to the New York Anime Festival. How are you all holding up?

[Uluth]

Back up to speed I see...and not much was done either. Anyway, I just popped in to say that me and a small group of friends are thinking of enacting the first episode(episode 11 chronologically) of the anime, only genderbent. We're hoping to get everything ready before it starts getting cold or we'll have to wait. Since we don't actually have a script yet I was wondering what changes everyone around here would think should be made to the overall event. I would like to know and I am in no way going to look back at all of the previous pages to hunt for info.

Unfortunately we're running out of time so this probably will need to be put off until next spring at the very least. Plus....we really don't get a lot of work done. Ever.

[unmoldedtruck]

Uh... Episode 11 isn't the first episode chronologically. It isn't even near the first episode.
