All I know is that if ever the promised Battle Angel movie comes out you can be sure I'm going to be first in line to see it!

So, any word on getting a translation script for this yet?

I'm a bit disappointed that you decided not to incorporate some of my suggestions, most specifically:

Olympe(?): Talk to the rival about the possibility of stopping the fight…!


Ahh! Rakan disassembles in midair!

1. Olympe is asking Pissarro to interfer. She is NOT asking directly the opponent ...

Oh gosh, thanks so much for this. I haven't ...

Any word on the typesetting by the way? I think that, aside from a few minor issues, the script we have out right now is pretty good. I'd like a release soon!

p01
Phse: 87 – Unknown enemy, stay alert
Up-right side text: Mission: Free Oympus Saceport
Down-right side: That day on Mars
Left side: What really happened?

p02-03
Top right: One month earlier
Free Olympus Spaceport mission
Operation: Hagel

Bottom: Who is the Künstler Zazie met?

This does not sound like good English to me.

Can we make it:

Talk to the opponent about possibly stopping the fight ...

Gynoid is a good one, I'd be willing to go with that. I understand that a "lover who is a puppet" would be literally translated as "puppet lover" but it sounds a bit clumsy to my ears. Like a "puppet lover" could be someone who loves puppets, which is why I took the sexual meaning of "lover".

Hiya! AOD here with a few small corrections. Hope you don't mind!

Just chiming in to say that I think meeps's script is excellent and I can't wait to see it along with the new crop of chapters that seem to have become translated all of a sudden!

I've just taken the script posted earlier in this thread and revised it a bit to be more natural-seeming in English.

Hi! Allow me to make some minor suggestions to this awesome script!

Page 01
Text left side: Worry about …
Text left side: …not taking us seriously. (We have been underestimated)
Text right side: ZOTT semifinal. In a crucial moment!
Title: Phase: 83 Reasons to fight
Box: Semifinal match : Space ...

When you get a new script up, please post it here! I can't access the wiki somehow, but I can definitely make corrections here!

Hi! Thanks for the awesome release. I've taken the liberty of doing some proofreading ex post facto for the v2 release.

This development has taken an unexpected turn!!

Oh gosh, just read through all of LO 80, and it was truly amazing! In a comparable number of chapters, a second-rate manga like Bleach or Naruto would have hardly finished a single battle, but in this one we had tons of dynamic action, and plenty of Kishiro's signature bizarre, wacky humour ...

RRRRRRHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!! YESSS!

I have been waiting months for this, and now, to devour this new release in torrents of massive orgiastic gleee!!

Crazyankan, translators, YOU ARE SAINTS OF THE INTERNET!

!~[AOD]

I don't read the raws myself -- I don't want to spoil a single thing for the translations! Such is my love of Battle Angel.

How about this?

bubble 1: Meanwhile, because of the Ladder Treaty the limitations on the use of nanotechnology were increased dramatically, and furthermore, they requested assistance from Venus due to the crisis situation.
bubble 2: It was then they started the development of bio-engineering ...

Some Engrishy sentences stuck out to me:

bubble 1: Vigorta [this is the monster´s name] throws now from Its fingers a concentration of fire´s guns to Taraba!!
bubble 2: What kind of things they build now!?
bubble 3: I have heard that they can match modern weapons… but have never thought that they ...

No offense, you've got some great ideas in the other threads, but that's the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen! Come on, guys, it's a comic . It's entertainment. It's a wonderfully amusing comic, and I think Kishiro is just having the time of his life, drawing whatever the hell makes him feel ...

I will promptly obtain this trophy with all my energy. OR
I will give you your living prey... ??

The first sounds like Engrish. I'd rephrase it as "I'll snatch this trophy with all my energy".

I have no idea what the context is for the second one.

So hi guys, new poster here, but longtime lurker. I've kept up with Battle Angel for months and months here, excited for each and every new release. After months of no new translations and this lovely chapter 80 being in limbo I was very excited to see a sudden burst of activity on the translation ...
