slr2moons: a self-portrait, of me in my usual habitat: in front of my computer monitors! (insane laughter)
I need to make myself a celebratory "I'm a geek!!" icon so very badly. :B I'm keeping up my goal of translating for 15 min a day quite nicely, and if i miss a day, then I do half an hour the next. Two days ago I was stuck on four lines of thought, spread out over two pages. (Those of you who read shoujo manga will know exactly what I mean.) I filled half a page of scrap paper with different wordings and rearrangements of English, trying to figure it out. My time ended before I made sense of it, but I knew it was close. I took a day off yesterday, and when I Iooked over the Japanese today, the meaning clicked. :D I didn't even have to consult my page of notes, I just read the Japanese, the definitions of words, and there the answer was. Simple as that.

I love it when that happens. *triumphant pose*

Yesterday I was poking around on ANN, looking up a manga I just learned about through [livejournal.com profile] fandom_secrets, when I happened to catch a news article about a Tegami Bachi anime. I completely flipped. I LOVE Tegami Bachi, which has been printed in English Shonen Jump for several months now. It's beautifully drawn, has a fun and unusual premise, incredibly sweet characters, and it's nice to read a shounen series in Jump that isn't about growing stronger. I'm crazy for it! It's being lettered by [livejournal.com profile] ensuing, of whom I am vastly jealous. Come to find out they animated a Japanese Shonen Jump special release for Tegami Bachi early this year--along with a new installment of DB and the One Piece prequel chapter "Romance Dawn"--and I snagged the torrent for the TB segment last night. :D The actual tv anime series started October 3rd. It will be available on Crunchyroll, though I prefer torrents myself. OH YEAH!! I AM SO THERE! FORGIVE MY CAPSLOCK OF JOY!!!!!

Script for Clay 16 is officially here. *ties on the hachimaki* Speaking of which, I'd better get to it! XD *lettering fight scenes of gore and mayhem while thinking about the cuteness of Tegami Bachi*
