I don't really have anything interesting to talk about today. We finished the manga we were translating, and oh my goodness, I hate it. I don't actually hate it; this is important for you to understand. In fact, I think it's pretty interesting, and I'll be happy to see what happens to all these characters in the next volume. But I have never ( Read more... )

Okay, so as I mentioned yesterday, we stayed up until midnight last night to see if Miraculous: The Movie had French audio on Netflix. The rule was, if it was 95 minutes or shorter, we would watch it. Otherwise, it was too long, and we needed to go to sleep. Heck, I was even already falling asleep while we were watching Adoration (sorry, ( Read more... )

Anime Expo is over, our post-convention Disneyland trip has ended, and technically things are back to normal. But we wore ourselves out something fierce, so we've pretty much been fending off sleep all day. Some people might ask why not just give in and take a nap? ...Because we don't want to. But we are going to bed early. I figured we could ( Read more... )

Oh man, there's so much I could talk about from these last couple of days. I think the biggest one on my mind is that this morning we learned which hotel they based Chloe's hotel on in Miraculous, and I kind of feel remiss as a fan for not knowing it before now, especially considering which hotel it is. It's the Hotel Plaza Athenee. You guys. ( Read more... )

Oh my gosh, you guys. We just watched the seventh episode of the newest season of Ultraman (entitled "The Fourth Successor"), and just... Oh my gosh. Spoilers.

Oh man, you guys, Noragami is so good. We may also be feeling extra happy about it today, because our first draft on this latest volume went very quickly. Huzzah for lots of action and fight scenes with big pictures and little text! (Little as in the amount, not the size ( Read more... )

You'll be relieved to know that just a few minutes ago, after working on the series for almost five years, it has occurred to the official English translators of Edens Zero (that's us) that the B in B-Cube might just stand for ビデオ, which is how the Japanese write the word "bideo," which is the most common way to represent the Latin, and ( Read more... )

Oh man, this is awkward. I got an email from Anime Expo today telling me that my industry application has been denied. On the other hand, Athena got an email from Anime Expo telling her that her industry application has been approved. We suspect they think there was a duplicate application because our names are so similar. I can prove that ( Read more... )

A mere two days after I come onto LiveJournal and talk about Edens Zero being in limbo, we wake up to the news that Crunchyroll has gotten the streaming rights for the United States. This is good news, we guess? At the very least, now we can watch it. And we did! We watched both episodes that are available, and they were pretty darn good. We ( Read more... )

I think situations like what we dealt with today are why some countries mandate a certain amount of vacation time. We're tired and the opposite of motivated, but otherwise we feel like we're toooootally fine, we can handle this, three books in the next week? Sure, why not? And then the storm hits ( Read more... )
