Edit:

All the complains about Taichi, sigh. Since when does this kind of character drama is supposed to cover the #1 perspective character's story until at least the penultimate arc? Give up already, unless we get a second season we are never gonna see it.

The peasants are always complaining about Taichi, Inaba, Iori or any character. They're lashing out on low assumption when the anime is still "ongoing". But I believe the judgement for Taichi is strongly always mention because it's been stated that his " Selfless" and such. But I always looked at Taichi like any other kind male character. I can named a ton of Male characters that are kind and willing to help, though, later in the story, Taich's selfless persona fissure and that's where his character contrast with other selfless characters... But let's leave that to the dumbfounded to figure out later on ~

The problem is, we'll never get to that part in This Adaptation. And that was one of the best part of the novel too, mind you. And they won't ever figure it out. Then people jump to conclusions. Bash.

I like the rubbish that they type...So rubbish...Bloody rubbish..........Off topic rubbish.......... Should we blame Sliver Links for that? Or the bloody users... If that keeps up, the audience who never draw to that conclusion are going to get adulterate by it...And agree to it, and unapologetically they'll stand behind each lie !

I'm sure you expressed your sentiment very well in your post in the anime thread.

EDIT: Could the special booklet's story be done in Taichi's sister's POV?

EDIT 2: Didn't notice all the hints people mentioned in the ED until rewatching it.
Is that all, though?

Are there any other ones not mentioned yet?

Really liking the song, either way.

The Anime people are too distract by Loliban, so I don't think they've noticed.

It's good that they aren't asking those kinds of questions about it but it's also Quite a shame though, I really like the song as well and hope it becomes popular.

Someone has opened the pandora's box

[Chaos2Frozen]

Yeah, but no matter what anything we confirm or deny or even acknowledge to exist would be bad

If that's not enough, look at the skin color.

Cheers

Never saw it like that. But for people who've read the later volumns, I can see where that gesture may come from. Actually, what caught my attention more than anything else in the ED was the hand reaching for Yuis', but her walking away. A bit of foreshadowing events in her relationship with Aoki becoming rocky? Tell me I'm not the only that noticed that?

Well I suppose it was a matter of time before someone noticed something.

Oh don't worry, I'm not about to ruin the fun that is about to begin. Seeing innocent shippers of both camp shaking up like that is pure quality entertainment. The insecurity. フフフ～～ ❤

Man I feel like a Heartseed.

Rocky. Very rocky. But that's the charm when it's all over no?

Edit: But then again I don't find it that rocky since it was over so quickly. It's prolly one of the minor irks I have for Volume 3. Seems a bit too easy. I mean look at Kizu, it took both Heartseed (the mastermind) and then Iori (the toughest nut/timebomb of the group) to finally crack Inaba open. Even Kizu Yui was tougher than that of this arc. But then again this arc feels more of a prologue of the real shit storm in the next so it doesn't bother me too much.

Spoiler:

Are you referring to more development to Yui and Aoki? I'm a homer for those two, since I don't really don't care about the triangle.

Spoiler:

You will most likely be disappointed.

I was refering to Iori and only Iori. Her time bomb overshadows the whole group, breaking / messing up people including several outside the CRC. I dare say it might rival the impact of Kizu arc, and that's all coming from Iori alone. If the group hadn't experience the meltdown in Kizu arc and the remaining four of them stuck together they would have been finished for good.

Aoki and Yui won't get anymore development until volume 7. And it's mostly on Yui anyway, cuz Aoki dealt with his own problem like a real man and doesn't break nor need help, much to Heartseed's chagrin. In that arc Aoki's development only serves as a mirror for Yui to reflect on her own ideal of her relationship with Aoki.

And even then it was only about... a third of the focus of the volume? They really don't get a lot of dialogue since their relationship is pretty stable since Kako, thanks to Aoki being the *unfaltering* man.

I should also add that, the "rocking" in volume 3 stems from Aoki, while the "rocking" in volume 7 stems from Yui. After these two little "rock" their relationship is sealed for good.

Eh? Really? I'm not really updated to that. Well, thanks for the info senpai.

Pudding will be translating Volume 2.

Volume 3 Prologue just completed and updated (Finally got some spare time today to finish it), Chapter 1 is almost done and hopefully completed by weekend. Hopefully.

Huwa!! Really!! Yatta!! I love you for that Lantern-senpai!! Thank you very much! You are our savior, our hope. You and pudding. ^_^ Thank you.

Jeez.. If only those people stop bashing maybe we can get another season.. Yeah, hope so. Still hoping for it. Its okay even if its not Silver Link. Yeah, I think it will be better if not them. Mostly it will be better if its KyoAni.. hehehe. But still, its okay if they make it. Just want another season..

Spoiler:

I'm really looking forward at the takoyaki scene but, it kinda disappoint me. But still, its okay.. Oh well.. ^_^
Is it just me or it looks like their in a rush to end this awesome series.. Jeez...
BTW! I want to draw that two Iori..

[Lantern]

Dont forget the number of editors helping to fix our blunders either.

Eh, considering they need to hurry with this arc and make room for V4 with a severely limited budget, I'm satisfied. The LN will always be juicier when it comes to details. (Which is why we need more translators to help D:!!!)

[s07195]

Official Chinese translation of Michi Random GET!

I guess I could help edit and stuff, but no guarantees (just like with the Tvtropes page ). I don't have a BT account though so I guess I'll need to make one first.

I only own the Chinese translations so it might not be a good idea for me to translate it (or risk creating a translation-ception ).

They don't seem to mind it much. Given that the western community doesn't have enough manpower and resources to do 120% accurate translations for some LNs. They'd like to see content first and accuracy later. Chinese-lations are the primary source Pudding and I are using too, just so you know. As long as you have core content translated, the details can be fixed later. (I dare say the Chinese translation are mostly accurate though except for some really minor details, LNCN editors are pretty strict when it comes to meanings from what I've seen.) So if you have time and feel like helping definitely pop in and throw in some lines

P.S. Gah~~ that avatar of yours! Stop murdering me oAo

Right, will do. Though I probably will start off doing edits (I've only really ever translated a doujin for genderbent Haruhi and a few documents for my dad.)

Chibi-ban: Yaay~ Yaay~

PS: You need to use British English on BT? NOOOOOOO!

[Jmac]

Man, where's a fanart page for this series when you need one?

Oh yeah, please tell them that we are very thankful and happy. Do your best!!
Me also, after reading some chapters in the baka-tsuki, I prefer LN than the anime and manga. And yeah, its more accurate and detailed.

O yeah senpai.. Err... I think theirs some grammatical errors in some chapters in Vol. 1 particularly in chp. 8.. Well, I just wanna help, even just a little..

Yay!! Do your best s07195!! If only I could do that, I would also offer them my help but too bad. I can't..
