Unfortunately, real life has me a bit tied up and more than a little unmotivated to write on any real basis recently, so I'm sorry for leaving the site to languish like this for so long. Currently I'm swamped with finals and studying, among other personal concerns, but I will motivate myself to at least write intros and outros to each season as usual, and other miscellaneous reviews (such as for games or anime I've finally gotten around to) as well as my translation projects (which are actually getting done, believe it or not; they're just taking more time because Efter and I are both busy and taking our time). I really do miss LoQ, quite dearly, but it seems I've lost a lot of motivation recently. Thanks for sticking around, I won't be gone 100%, but for at least a while, things will probably stay somewhat quiet.
Thank you so much for reading and staying with me all this time,
Kairi
Totally understand~ take your time Kairi ^^ I hope life doesn't treat you roughly. Winter 2014 doesn't look all that great (save for a few must-see titles), so even if you don't get around to it, you aren't missing a whole lot.
ReplyDeleteYou mean except for BONNNEEEEESSSSS.
DeleteBut yeah, i'll be taking it easy, thanks a lot Glass. ;____;
lol, exactly..xD Except for Bones, who's taking the spotlight with no competitor in sight. Maybe they deliberately chose the Winter season to debut their most anticipated show just so they can hog all the attention. Well...wish granted.
DeleteIn the mean time....I need to chew away on my backlog. =/ I'm also working and slaving away on grad school application. Life needs to slow down.
BONZU ain't all that and a bag of potato chips.
Deletetotally understand. sometimes you simply don't have the urge and the mood to write.
ReplyDeleterest assured and focus on your exams. I wish you best luck with that. and of course, stay healthy (:
enjoy the current anime that are about to end, and those who are about to start of winter 2014.
I think winter is quite interesting enough considering it's the winter and not the highlight (like fall/spring), there are always some hidden gems and I am sure you'll find something interesting (yes, not only BONES).
No you can take a break when NO is finished
ReplyDeleteHow about you can go to hell? I will take a break when I need one, not because you decide I've done enough work to deserve one. I am a full time college student at one of the most prestigious schools in the world, and I have A LOT on my plate just with that, not to mention the fact that I DO have a life outside of anime, even if I spend plenty of time with it. I do not have a group helping me with NO, other than the occasional assistance from my friend Efter who is also very busy; that means I do EVERYTHING myself. I clean, I scan, I typeset, I edit, and I translate. I am not a native Japanese speaker, so it takes me longer than someone who is. I put a lot of effort into this because I love it, but right now I cannot afford to put time into something like this when I'm in the middle of finals, extremely tired out, and dealing with a lot of personal stress. If you want NO so bad so quickly, you can go ahead and do it yourself. I never said I wasn't still working on it, ass.
DeleteI don't know if you told it as a joke or in a serious tone. But you've already seen how stressed Kairi is, so don't try to rush her to do something. This is a hobby. We have not so much time, and the time we dedicate to the scanlation is everything we can give to it. Scanlating NO is not the most important thing we do, so just be patient, life is keeping us busy and tired.
DeleteDamn, chill, people, chill. No use telling each other bad stuff.
DeleteAnonymous- you, sir/madam, are an ass. If it was a joke, it wasn't a good one.
Kairi- no need to brag, we try to understand you but you're being a wee bit neurotic. We do appreciate your NO work and we understand your stress level but you take so much on your plate that it's expected you'd fall apart. Don't bite off more than you can chew.
Effer- thank you for being calm and helping bring us NO.
I apologize for sounding like that, though that was not the point I was trying to get across. I was very stressed and upset during that time, as it was the end of finals week and I was in the middle of studies and papers and all sorts of other outside pressures not related to school in addition. I mentioned these things in my anger to try to explain why it is that I am more stressed than I am used to being, and I have been constantly destressing as much as possible from extraneous work since this summer; that is the time period when I started slowing down LoQ and also spending more time on things that were more urgent to me. This is not a lesson I haven't already had plenty of time to dwell on and start working on; that doesn't mean I'll be leaving all the people I started helping down in the middle, which is why I explained I am still working, albeit slowly. That being said, I am not stressed as much as in the week of Dec 20th at the moment, hence I'm working on translations. It's not about being neurotic, but about being a human being with way too much pressure from family, school work, personal problems, and other things I can't control. People snap under things; I suffer from chronic depression and anxiety as well, so though I try to keep that stuff from getting in my way of doing things I like and things I must do, occasionally I crack under it. Thank you for the advice.
Deletelol, happy holidays. u guys are awesome
