He's talking about the first episode of Highschool of the Dead and something about an actor?

His so-called "seiyuu debut".

I'm thinking you could search around google. The next novel is Approaching Nick Of Time or try looking up FMP novel ANOT

Not even close, dude, ANOT is the last published novel up to this point. After COMO is Burning One Man Force, then it's Tsudou Make My Day, and only after that comes ANOT.
BOMF was translated until chapter 3 by Ravyn / Phoenix, and the rest are raw-translated by shutazen. Try googling these words and you should be able to find what you are looking for.

Type this in google, without the quotes: "protik09 full metal panic".

Hi everyone , because of study, work and other things I´ve been away from the forum for like 4/5 months, now I´m back and i found really good news .

[SkoolRumble4Ya]

Damn just one more week until the last novel. I hope Shutazen comes back and translate it for us.

I hope he KINDLY does so...

He doesnt have to if he doesnt want to...
I am still grateful of all the translations done by everyone so far...

*bows humble like*
As a gift, here is my gratitude!! See below!
The japanese crowds are going wild with fanarts..^^....

[CiNtUrO-cHaN]

thx for the picture, so~ darn cute!

BTW, I really CAN'T still believe that there's a REAL selling date. omg. does anybody know how much does it cost (in yen)? 'cuz I might be able to buy it. At least the first part (上), because as far as I've seen the TV commercial, the second part (下) won't be able 'till 20th of Agust, amb I right?

And I have another question... has it always been like this? I mean, cutting the light novel in two parts and so.

Thankx!

[dasvik]

Well... here is a link... http://www.amazon.co.jp/%E3%83%95%E3...123093&sr=8-26, so I guess 609...

Yes, the second part of the novel won't be available until 20th August.

And no, it hasn't always been like this, it has only been like this once, "The end of day by day" was the only other novel split in two parts.

You welcome! :P

In USD, the new novels cost $10.15 from Kinokuniya. ^^ I've already ordered both books, so I'll have them as soon as importing and mail will allow.

you know...i would too?

But it would be completely pointless as I dont read jack chinese or even japanese...



...


Who..would be so kind to translate? *smiles sheepishly then crys...*....




.....please...-falls to her knees * ;-;!!
CRYS!

[FeistyDreams]

I'll do my best to supply summaries and translations of key parts, but I can't promise full translations. I do have a lot of people I can go to in order to get more concise translations now, however, so I may be able to pull of a decent amount.

We'll see, anyways. Scans, definitely.

[HunterSeeker]

Great, I'm outta here.:P

[dasvik]

Ok HS, gg, thx for everything, byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :P

-crys in the furtile attempt-

Hahah, oh god, please, don't leave XD I have a bad track record for timing, and your summaries are wonderful and very much appreciated! I just hope to supplement ^^ <3~ I'll be working on them as best as I can, see if I can't gather up a team to work on more complete translations. I definitely don't promise timely work though. I know I have editors, and I have people I can go to for translation questions... I'll do my best to convince them to make a team with me so that we can get full translations done ^^

[HunterSeeker]

Guess I can't really leave this place then.:P

OK guys, though it's supposed to be released tomorrow, here're some rumours flowing around on Baidu and 2ch:

Spoiler:

1. Hints of Kurz is still alive from Wraith's words. (Which I don't think it's good though, let's see how it works out)
2. Tessa: "Guys, you're all fired."
3. Tessa vs that particular submarine dude from ADVMC. (pronounced as Sailor?)
4. Sousuke x Mao. (Don't ask me what that means, just written like that)
5. RIP Lieutenant Edward Zacks. (Repair crew of TDD)
6. Mr.Hg shows his face. Tends to be related with Mithril.
7. A certain new character is cute. (Kanji as 未良, don't know if it's typo, but unlikely)
8. AERIAL BATTLE. (Seriously, Gatoh really wants his novel to break into SRW)

Also some more stuff:
A certain person that all carea about seem to live.
Confirmed A NUMBER OF DEATHS on TDD.
There're only real battles in the last tens of pages.

Also some spoilers about a certain event in the 1st book, p.189:

Spoiler:

1. So even the enemy SHIPS got Lambda Driver now. GREAT. (And it's a modified LOS ANGLES CLASS SUBMARINE.)
2. Dannan. Is. About. To. SINK. While protecting their assault party towards Melida.
3. They only got 2 Torpedoes left, 2 Helis and 3 AS. Tessa calls for abandon ship.

And some from the 2nd book (don't ask how), p.254:

Spoiler:

1. In a church.
2. Chidori is HERE, along with Sousuke. They're in some sort of ceremony.
3. But without knowing why, TESSA is firing at them with her sub-machine gun. A 12.7mm FMJ penetrated his right arm. She seems to try KILLING the two.
(From HS: Now, if anyone know about a certain thing called Nice Boat......)

And because I still need to work tomorrow, so there won't be any on-time spoilers revealed. HOWEVER, once I'm off from work at night......
