You're welcome to promote your own agenda but not influence another one in a negative manner.
As for Oda, the current translator could do with some help considering the huge amount of volumes and a bit higher difficulty.
Huh? Oda has already a translator? So why should Code-Zero translate that too? :?

Obvious sarcasm is obvious. Before this becomes a mud slinging competition, I had desist saying unnecessary comments.

Uh, not really - I just see the problems...

It's not a wiki project so the baka-tsuki project would probably never be complete and readers would probably ask why.

Also some translators are lone and or independent "fighters" and want remain that and wouldnt be amused if another would poach in their terrain...

Ah, is that so? :oops: I have overlooked the fact that we have that already as a series... :oops: Sorry - maybe because it wasnt a teaser before ;) and it wasnt really a story I was interested in... or maybe I am getting too old... :(

Well of all those, im most familiar with Rune Soldier.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rune_Soldier Was briefly a manga and was also an anime that ran for 24 episodes.

However looking at wiki, I was shocked to discover that it is an ongoing light novel with over sixteen volumes. @_@
I somehow doubt the anime even got to its fourth volume with just 24 episodes. XD

So of all those, I vote for Rune Soldier~A delightful story of a pathetically terrible wizard whom answers with his fistss~ he gets picked up by an adventurer party who have no idea of his magical ability and go on many silly adventures that give the series as a whole a slight remisence towards Slayers~

For a novel that didn't get animation, Blade Dance is doing great. And Madan no Ou too, as a LN that only got summaries and short translations.

If this was 6 years ago, Inukami would easily have a lot of votes. Sigh, people and their harems

It was only one of the best comedy to have ever aired. But it certainly wasn't as good as watching a little girl force a dude twice her size to be her slave :roll:
