Well then, since you say so... Lets raise the mark a little... But its rude to just ignore those numbers...

5, 10 and 50... If you multiply them, LETS MAKE THE MARK 2500 POSTS!!!
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!

Shadow, you do realize that you'll be just about the only living thing left in the forums if the cap was 2500 right -_-
彼らの任務は一つ。
友軍のために死ぬこと。
誰にも知られることなく、散っていく命がありました。
決して語られることのない戦いがありました。
明日さえも見えない絶望の中で、今日を生きる権利すら奪われた戦士たち。
守るべき祖国から捨てられ、戦争の大義も、勝利の栄光も、自らの名前さえも奪われた戦士たち。
そして、理想を追い求め、自らの手を血に染める戦士たち。
戦場という絶望の中で、彼らが見た希望とは何だったのでしょうか?
そして、彼らが守り抜いたものとは、何だったでしょうか?
死か、それとも解放か?
これは、歴史を変えた名もなき戦士たちの物語。

I agree, though I would say that its usually the superpowers that lead the topics away to begin with.

That aside, I think i will be writing a teaser for the series, but when I am more free. Have a homework due breathing down my neck, and I have no idea how to even start doing it!

P.S. I am borrowing your words larethian!!

P.S. @ dragonst:

That means Oni and others above 2500 are zombies? Since they aren't "living thing"s.

Well, for someone who has direct contact with a being that plays with 'cosmic forces', you can't really label Oni a living thing can you?

I would love to read this. The anime is great and since I doubt they will do all of it, we have to turn to the novels.

I'd be willing to proof as well.

OK :D .

By the way, what do you want; me using GIMP 2 to edit the picture or simply do the translations. I'll post the translations for now, but if you are interested, you can ask me.

Psss... look here, you need 5 posts to pass the check every end of year, so you don't have enough still!
Aha! That explains why I couldn't log in. Damn my lurking ways.
I'm strongly considering starting a translation for this; I got into the series backwards (anime first, then read the book to see what they messed with) and it's pretty hilarious so far. I love how depressed Ayumu sounds whenever he has to incant that Masou Shoujo transformation. Which is now stuck in my head, by the way.

My problem being I have absolutely no idea how to do that. I imagine it involves PMing someone and probably scraping the rust off my knowledge of wiki markup. Did I mention I was a lurker? :)
Consider this me volunteering if anyone would care to fill me in on the rest of the process.

I did read through the entire thread (lurker) and with regard to the discussion of good and bad translations: I can't exactly call myself "great" yet but I have a decent enough grasp of the language and of humor. I'm something of a grammar nazi in my native English also, so proofreading should be a relatively easy job for anyone looking over it.
Any thoughts?

@Kira
Uhm, Kira could you tell which text is for which pic? So that the translation can be added at the right pic page...

@Naerylan

Just say what you like to translate and you're ready to start translating.

first, just translate a complete chapter (or complete an existing uncompleted chapter). your preference, but tell us which one. after that is done, we'll get it upgraded to a full project if you are willing to become a translator for the project.

Ok cool. Guess I'll start at the beginning then... I couldn't stand to work out of order.
I'm a little bit obsessive about that :)

I'll put together a translation of book 1/prologue, but the next question is where should I put it?
Do I post it here, email it to somebody, slap it on the wiki somewhere?
