I don´t really understand, english is not my mother lenguage, does this mean that when the fist english novel comes out you will take down the translation for the volume 1 on the site and so on or you will take down the entire project for good? Sorry for the trouble. :(

Everything. If a C&D comes, everything goes down too.

Pretty much the entire main series. If the phrasing is stated differently i.e if it would include the side series, read: Progressive, Progressive will be taken down too.

It pains to hear that but I think it´s for the best, it goes to show how famous Sword Art Online has become and fans should be happy about it but all of us can afford to buy the volume so it´s going to be diffcult to follow the last volume. Oh well, thanks a lot for all the hard work the translators have given for this great series. :cry: :(

In all honesty, this piece of news gives me mixed feelings.

This wasn't a complete shock. A series that got as much attention as it did in the America will definitely attract the eyes of these companies.

The translators of these 2 series have put in massive amounts of time and effort into translating them, and for that I will like to once again express my sincere thanks.

Hopefully, the licensing company will allow volumes that have not been translated by them to still be put up on websites, though I seriously doubt that will happen.
Don't you just love reading? I think it is one of the joys of life, where we can escape the cold reality of the world and exist in something so much more fun and exciting! ^_^

Heres hoping they don't pull a shana and just poking stop translating after forcing you to remove all the fanslations.


on that note, I'm downloading everything so i still have them if they drop the hammer.

I have volumes 1-10 as Epub from the first page in this thread, but theres no 11, even though its on the main site.

Also, i don't think the Epub has all the sidestories, the one i downloaded has:

Aria in the Starless Night
Versus
There is but one ultimate way


and apparently "Cradle of the Moon Chapter 1" but all that page contains is...
In a corridor lined with white columns, loud echoes of human and animal footsteps can be heard.

Running forward, her slightly long black hair wildly flying,
so i guess that's busted.

Alicization Rising (volume 12) isn't on Baka Tsuki, but it is in TapTrans site, no PDF or Epub though, so i just saved the whole page as a HTML file.

not quite as elegant as an Epub, but it will do in a pinch.

I second that motion.

Please update all PDFs of the Volumes, Side stories, Material editions, etc to their latest versions.

We need to download them before they go *poof*.
