I love these extra details! Thanks guys!

BTW has anyone ever done a full translation of the tech notes or other extras that were included in the Complete Edition/reissues?

THANKS!!! you're so awesome! and i <3 TL notes more please!

The American translator Fred Burke actually spoke to why he made those translations:

The literal translation I was working with used "Salem." For me, that already had all sorts of connotations for Americans -- witch trials, etc. So I had to come up with something else. (Seriously -- this *is* how ...

mine came today :D :D :D

it is a little smaller than i expected (i didn't actually look at the measurements before i ordered it) but it is VERY cool. the pieces are very small and are pretty easy to pop off (possibly a side effect of the articulation of the joints? almost every part is on a ball ...

so i was (unsuccessfully) searching around to see if i could stumble onto any other places to get these figures, and i found this hobby kit: http://www.hobbyfan.com/product_info.php?products_id=152

looks like it was posted quite a while ago (2002) and hasn't gotten enough orders to go into ...

i agree that i'd like to see a side story of sechs (but only AFTER we get some more gally plot resolution, IMO the central plot could stand to move along a little quicker, and i really miss gally as a character, i feel like we spend so little time with her any more) but i actually love him as a guy ...

thank you thank you thank you!!! so excited about the release (even though i have an exam i really need to be studying for tomorrow morning... *gulp*!)

okay i really want to know what viz is going to do about that penis monster. (although i guess they have a lot of time before this is translated ...

squee! got a shipping confirmation from benippon this morning, looks like they mailed it @7pm Japan time yesterday (aka ~4am today my eastern us time) and it's already sent out from ishikawa prefecture and checked in chubu, aichi prefecture a few hours ago... (obsessive tracking checking yay!)

I do advocate western reading (what I've already understood is a lonely battle here), but I do not advocate resizing or incompetent/negligent work. Unfortunately, some publishers decide to put things in the market the way thjey are better to them, not to readers.

sorry to revive an old thread but for anyone who cares:

Fred Burke (US translator for Gunnm):
"In a similar vein, the name Alita wound up with connotations beyond my original thoughts: I found out a year later that there is a Russian silent expressionist film called Aelita, Queen of Mars. And the ...

Thank you (thank you thank you thank you thank you)!!! I've been checking on the site every hour since Ripper announced the new chapters would be coming out. I'm new to the site - just a week ago I had a sudden urge to re-read all of gunnm, and I was looking for a translation for LO 1&2 (which I had ...
