Eureka Seven: Astral Ocean - 7

Finally, I managed to find the time to finish this chapter. I sincerely apologize for the ridiculous delay.

Many thanks to Efter for cleaning half the chapter in order to speed things up a bit; it was still slow work on my part, unfortunately, but you helped a ton!

Translation Notes: I don't know why, but characters in AO talk a lot more than they do in New Order. It's always so technical and full of jargon that it takes me double the time to translate here compared to a chapter in the latter, and this one even has furigana!

In other news, it looks like Renton's thigh fetish manifested itself in Ao's genes. He gets lots of bishounen expressions this time around too *cough*NarcissictAo*cough*.

Manga & Scanlation Updates

Lovely, aren't they?

All three of the new Eureka Seven manga (NO, AO, and Save a Prayer) are releasing next Saturday. Yours truly has NO and AO preordered, and I know that Efter and the other /a/ scanlators are working on SaP. Either way, rest assured, you will have your fill of both New Order and Astral Ocean for the rest of the summer. This is the final volume of NO, and also the volume of AO where the most horribly painful event in the E7 multiverse occurs. You'll cry for both.

AO 7 is being cleaned and should be translated by next week.

Cheers,

Kairi

Eureka Seven: Astral Ocean - 6

That took much longer than I expected it to; I sincerely apologize for the delay.

Translation Notes: Any untranslated SFX or text is just that, SFX. I don't like translating it, don't like making up equivalent noises, and really, not many people really read the little translation notes at the bottom of the effect most of the time anyway. That being said, please enjoy the release! It's 4 AM so I'm off!

On another, much more upbeat note, Ao-kuuuuuuuuuunnnn! Okaeri!

10,000 Hits and AO Scanlation Project Update

Wow, I'm seriously amazed we reached this benchmark so fast. It's only been a little over three months since I started this site, so I have to say I'm pretty touched. Whether it was for the reviews, the Eureka Seven manga, or just by chance, thanks so much for stopping by!

Since I'm really happy about this, and because I've more or less found twenty people interested, I will be scanlating Katou Yuuichi's Astral Ocean manga after all. Details for the project will be announced by the end of New Order Volume 1. Chapters four and five of NO should be out this week and early next, respectively.

Thanks for your support, everyone, and I hope you'll look forward to both manga releases and reviews in the future; I hope I can improve and become a much more satisfying writer for when we hopefully meet again at 50,000!

Eureka Seven: Astral Ocean Scanlation Project

I've posited this question in a couple of places, but I've recently got a hold of three volumes of Katou Yuuichi's Astral Ocean manga; I'm willing to scanlate the volumes from now until the end of the run if there's enough people willing to read it. I know that AO gets a lot of flak in and out of the fanbase, and scanlation/translation is far too much work if no one cares to read it, seeing as I'm only one person doing a group's job on a weekly basis. However, I'm more than happy to put in the effort if I know that there are fans who wish to read past the first five chapters. I'm not asking for huge numbers either; if I can get assurances that about twenty or thirty people would want to see this happen, I'm overjoyed to get it done.

If you are interested in this, please leave a comment or otherwise let me know, and I'll think about taking up the project after I'm done with NO Vol. 1.

Overall Review: Eureka Seven AO

For all its flaws and rushed conclusion, I think Astral Ocean did an admirable job at what is traditionally very hard to do: pulling off a decent but vastly different sequel.
