FMP placed at 1st at 2008 and 8th at 2009 in the annual light novel guide book Kono Light Novel ga Sugoi!
This is the proof that FMP is worthy enough to be translated!
Maybe it's true that FMP has been licensed in some country, but absolutely not in my country or other country that share the same fate as me!
Baka-tsuki's reader is not only from US or Europe but everyone in the world that connected through the internet!
So, not translating this series because of "licensed in some country" reason, i absolutely object!
On a related note, it appears that volume 4 is stuck in an infinite delay loop, with no news on any possible release date (in fact, it isn't even listen on Tokyopop's site anymore, only 1-3).
I dont get the numberings, i thought there are plenty more volumes than 10 by now? whats going on?
God!!
You need not forgive me.
For those I love,
The violence brought about by sinful men
Shall now be used once more.
If you were created to save this world,
If there is a single shred of hope left for the future of mankind,
I am very sorry, but, please begone!
It's something like 10 volumes of "season 1" of the novels, then "season 2" of the novels, *Σ* has another 10 novels. something like that. I don't have all the numberings though. Kind of like KnS, you have the main volumes, then there's ignition.
I'm gonna start reading BOMF and I will translate it as I read along. I'm starting from scratch and my translation will have nothing taken from RavynPhoenix's except maybe some names.
I've been away for a veeery long time, which doesn't mean I've stopped learning Japanese. I may consider helping with the znt translation at some point when I'm done reading the bomf, cmmd and anot(I have all 3 of them)
I've reconsidered. I found a complete translation of BOMF, so if anyone wants it, pm me. I have also found a translation of cmmd from prologue to chapter 4 incl. If there's a chapter 5 I'll translate it.
Oh, I didn't know B-T's policy towards FMP. It's too bad really, the last time I was in Tokyo I bought up the latest 4 novels so I'm willing to work on them... I'm currently reading the latest one at the moment and fooling around at translating some of the short stories, but nothing complete enough to release so far. I finished translating the Cinderella play story last November and then found out someone had already done it, argh.
I made a pdf for "Burning One Man Force" and "Tsudou Make My Day" using the translations of Ravyn and Shutazen. If you want them, I can send you the link by PM.
I've seen the Ravyn chapters and they are very well done, but I am thinking about redoing all of the Shutazen ones myself since it looks like a total machine translation.

Because that is really unfair!!
I AGREE WITH YOU there are fmp fans all over the world dying just to have a translated copy of FMP i hate those guys!! grrr
But you have to understand that this is not possible here, since the Baka-Tsuki server is placed in a country where it is licensed - so If you have a server in a different country you could do that - maybe...
Please don't mind my bad english since I'm german.

Doubt it, ever since the C&D incident, the chances are next to nil.

Just wanted to post to let TGM an everyone else out there who wants to know what happens after Full Metal Panic - Approaching Nick of Time, that two more novels have been released. I haven't seen an update post, and if it is here, u have to forgive me for missing it. But the series is now completed with twelve volumes released. if you search the net hard enough, you can read everything from what happens after the anime ends, up to the last two volumes.
