Doesn't JS06 have like 10 other things goin on at the same time? i'm amazed he can keep up at the rate he does things.

[Chaos2Frozen]

This is assuming he even wants to do those other works.

[I_am_Kami]

I know he does railgun and index. Didn't know he was involved with other things.

[Master Assassin]

With partial translation work going to Heavy Object I suppose.

If my memory doesn't fails me he works on Zettai Karen Children translations too.

[Flere821]

Wow, just how many projects is js involved in? o_O The guy must be a offshoot of the Kamachi.exe

[Stabman]

He also recently started work on the Kaiji series over at FKMTkrazy. So now that's TWO series I must regularly worship him for.

[Hell_ping]

For LN, he does Index, Heavy Object, Monogatari and Oreimo.

For manga, he does index, Railgun, NEEDLESS, Bloody Monday, Hayate no Gotoku, mkaiji, Kurenai, Psyren, Black Lagoon, Conan, Zettai Karen Children...you get the gist.

Now, if I can only get more guys like him

[judasmartel]

Kamachi.exe at its finest.

Wrong, he's the translated version of Kamachi.

We have to get back on track soon, but there's pretty much nothing to discuss about here...

[desrtsku]

^ translated version!!

Hi, anonymous. I apologize, if my question is not on a subject. I read the 3rd volume (part 5) and came across the moment in which Touma was seen for the first time by Misaka Imouto's corpse.
Text:

He felt the urge to vomit as if he had stuck a finger down his throat. He screamed in his heart not to vomit. He used nice logic in thinking that he was looking at Misaka Imouto and he shouldn’t vomit upon seeing her, but then he suddenly noticed her skirt in the edge of his vision.
Something was sticking out from within her skirt, from between her legs.
The soft and squishy object with a pink surface and a hint of purple was…
“Ugehh!”

So stuck out from under its skirt? Internal?
And one more moment, in the 3rd volume a part 4. Misaka Imouto saw Accelerator, and during that moment the author started to describe it. On English translation the description of its smile was quite strange. Its smile called perverted. "Perverted"? I think, with the real Accelerator such description would be impossible. Yes, its smile is mad and distorted, but not "perverted" in any way. He after all killed them, let and cruelly, but anything else. Whether there was this description in Japanese transfer?

Oh this again- Essentially, it is whatever you want it to be, there's no definitive answer since nobody here has ever reached an agreement.

The dictionary definition of perverted is to changed to or being of an unnatural or abnormal kind; wicked; misguided; distorted.

Basically, before the word perverted was perverted by perverts with their pervertibility, it does mean 'distorted', among other things.

[Sarcasm] Say what?!! I thought we agreed on it being it has already been attested that it's just some spread out strawberry Ice cream that Accelerator bought in a convenience store. [/Sarcasm ends]

EDIT :

hoh, is it me or the thread is quite dead?

[hao-sama]

the earlier volumes' translations have always been pretty iffy.

for example, in volume 3:

"'Misaka doesn't have the skill to follow Onee-sama's different electric or magnetic fluxes, so this device is important for visualizing them,' as Misaka would explain thoroughly."

in the original japanese, that's:

「ミサカはお姉様とは異なり電子線や磁力線の流れを目で追う｜才能《スキル》がないので、それらを視覚化す る｜器旦《デバイス》ハが必要なのです、とミサカは｜懇切丁寧《こんせつていねい》に説明しま した」

the translation implies they need the goggles to follow Mikoto's different electric and magnetic fluxes.

however, the sentence means to say that unlike Mikoto, the clones don't have the skill to follow the flow of the electric and magnetic field lines by sight, so they need the goggles to visualize them.

It'll liven up once the spoilers for the next volume appear (hopefully).

[Acer]

what are the events that you guys would like that happen in the next volume?

I'd like Mikoto and Accel to be waiting for Touma when he gets back,

Spoiler for fighting:

pissed that he left them behind and went toe to toe with a god

.... but that's just me. also i'd like to see a showdown of maidness between Ollerus's maid and Touma's maid... and other stuff
