ばか！バカ！　馬鹿ー月！

I said no, due to an anime already being released of said novel. I don't believe it will gain much attention due to it and be a waste of effort which could be focused into other/better projects. Personally I have little interest after seeing what there currently is in the anime.

But i heard that anime butchered LN material... So translating this is not that bad idea.

This. I've read the first few volumes and watched the anime. The anime goes at a super-fast pace which skips a lot of the details in the LN. From what I remember, the anime is already at Vol. 3 (I could be wrong) and it's only halfway through the season. So TL-ing this would actually give all the lost details, so it isn't a bad idea to translate this.

Yeah, the anime doesn't really do a good a job with this, they should have done this like they did with Strike the Blood, do one volume over three or four episodes. By the way I had to re translate Part 6 and Part 7 somehow the original file got removed from my hard drive. I think I am only going to be able to do three or four pages at a time instead a full part, I've gotten busier at work, but I am still planning on translating this series.

I recently discovered this series through the anime, and while I like the anime, I would like to read the LN as well, since it sounds like the anime skips a lot of content in the LN. I don't know Japanese, but I don't mind doing some editing as the chapters are released if that would help. Thank you jin_ssi for the work you have put in so far!

Thanks for translating dude, looking forward to them.

I'd say translating from the later novels would be a better idea but that's not to say this isn't appreciated at all (in fact it's greatly appreciated). At least this way I can cover up missing details.

For awhile I went on hiatus due to circumstances, but I am going back to translating this. On another note I just watched the last episode of the Anime adaptation and all I can say is what was that?

Dunno, but I can count more than one instance I was confused.

I remember one fight before which MC and the blond girl were arguing. Then, during the fight, the girl just completely disappeared.

I started emitting WTF-induced question marks since somewhere about the 3rd episode and never stopped. I didn't mind Campione's anime so much (except for the ending ) which was rushed, but this anime felt like it was rushed and it was a complete mess; it felt continually like they were pulling plot out of thin air rather then actually building a story. Kind of in a "this couldn't possibly have come from a LN, there's no way that would get past an editor" kind of way.

After reading this, I am glad that I didn't continue watching the series after ep 1 release.

Granted it's not that the series is completely worthless; the main problem is that it seems like no-one seemed to care. I haven't watched the ending episodes yet, but apparently they're truly WTF-inducing and end on a cliff hanger. It feels like they got a writer/story-boarder to put together a 26 episode series with an anime-only ending, then they realised they only had 12 episodes, so they stripped off the anime-only ending, and then compressed each pair of episodes into one keeping only the bare-bones required-main-storyline elements.

I think my first reaction that this series' storyline was completely broken was: Anyway, the only reason I think you'd want to watch it is if you wanted to see what (fragmented) parts of the storyline look animated; like the magic or whatever.

I haven't read all the way to the current volume of the series yet, but I read somewhere on a different forum that either volume 6 (?) or the last volume ended on a cliff hanger like they did in the anime.

Is this PJ still active? One of my fellow Vietnamese translators wants to translate this awesome novel into Vietnamese using the current English version, so he asked if you can give him permission

You could try to ask there too: viewtopic.php?f=15&t=6014

Even the author did not think it was a good idea, and I can see why. Sure the anime showed the series had potential, but they rushed it so much when has too much to tell that it wasn't wise at all. Also the cast was not bad, but I did not like Mamoru Miyano as MC, I did not fit him '-'

Hope the Novels can narrate the story better.
