Suzumiya Haruhi no Seitankan

[Taiga]

The novels... backwards (As Nagato seems so happy with)...

and Baka-tsuki are translating it, as they did the originals.
(or are they writing it? Who knows)
>>HERE<<

[Kagami]

let the weirdness begin

i just realized the enormity of this project

[Taiga]

Just? Not wonder at the fact that the characters always looked the same?

[lazysunside]

wonder y they do it lol. now i can't download new novel

[Kagami]

meh.

but haruhi is influencing HER will...cos i spotted some spelling mistakes, haruhi sneaking into the pages instead of haruki

[Nagato]

I find it fascinating from a sociological perspective. Certain things being changed because they don't fit gender conventions (Haruki drop-kicking a female Computer Society President seemed to be unacceptable), and Kyonko and Yuuki are adorable :3

[Taiga]

i prefer the girls, to be honest. If every character were female... I'd reread it every day >.>

[lazysunside]

So thats why he have such a powerful passionate for lucky star

[Taiga]

I much prefer Haruhi to Lucky Star. i like OTHER things more than Lucky Star. o.o

[Kagami]

this gender reversal stuff doesnt work in text form.
nothing & no-one to look at...obviously

Clearly you need to lurk moar.
There's a lot more out there than what I've posted. I try to exercise some quality control.

Your post makes no sese to me, whatsoever =/

[lazysunside]

well its make sense to me

[Kagami]

i just like looking at manga, or watching anime.
ive already seen haruhi in both manga and anime form. now, reading about it just doesnt cut it.
Also, in text form, its harder to redefine haruhi into haruki. some of the mannerisms of the male haruki dont fit right, as in watching the anime, you observe haruhi and you have to decide for yourself what she is (arrogant, obnoxious, cute, whatever); nobody tells you that.
In text form, haruki is a headstrong, dropkicking girls nitwit.

ug, hope i havent dug myself a hole here >_<
If this gets drawn up in manga form, like in the 'suzumiya sightings' forum, then that would perk up my interest a lot more.

There have been a couple posted already. There are lots more I've run across of varying quality... I'll try to post some of the better ones as I find them again.

Rough translation for the second one:

Spoiler:

Kyon chan is mapping out an itinerary for the month.

3rd panel: Hmm... hang on a sec. If this is the end...

4th: Why did you draw a cat on the 22nd?

5th: 'Cause I like cats.

6th: (On the board) Everyone, Kyon-chan is adorable.

7th: You are cute, and that's why I like you.

8th: (On board) Kyon-chan is moe~
I'll write it anyway.

10th: Since you're annoying, I'll put your name up there instead.

11th: Hey! You two cut that out and come here!

13th: Koizumi is definitely cute...
Stop it...

[Taiga]

your translation confused me when i went to look at the image O.o

[Nagato]

Fine, I noted which panels go with what. Can you let go of my hand now?

[Taiga]

Next job... edit the image with the translation.

[Nagato]

Next job... edit the image with the translation.

That's why I learned Japanese: so I didn't get relegated to that chore. That's the typesetter's job :3

[Taiga]

don't point out your strengths, if you don't want such things asked of you

[Nagato]

don't point out your strengths, if you don't want such things asked of you

A long time ago, I learned a great word to use in that kind of situation: 'no.'

[Taiga]

Indeed, though... then you meet people like me. While 'no.' is a powerful barricade, i'm quite adept when it comes to finding weak bricks.

In this case I'll relent, however. I WAS only joking ^^

[Nagato]

In this case I'll relent, however. I WAS only joking ^^

I could tell

Generally I agree with that policy, but I figure it's common knowledge around here already.

[Taiga]

Indeed... though I'm not sure what policy you mean.

[Nagato]

That one.

Edit: Been off-topic too long.

[Kagami]

somehow not as effective as the original (i.e. haruhi). and why would haruki, being a male, worry too much about his hair in the first place?

or is that just me...
hmm *looks at hair in mirror*

[Nagato]

Haruhi did it as a counter-measure to aliens. Maybe Haruki concluded the same, or that the odds of strange things contacting you is directly dependent on the spikiness of your hairstyle. One could certainly get that impression from anime.

I lawled:

[Taiga]

former be better >.>

[Nagato]

You can berate my contributions after you've contributed something yourself
