Animanda

I feel ill, ill, ill, ill and as a result fairly grouchy >.< (and I don't like feeling grouchy either)

My head feels like it's about to be split apart by lots of tiny weeny hammers ( and I send curses to those who cursed me to be ill)

The painkillers have ceased to have an effect T_T

My throat feels like a parched bitter desert (and :O I'm becoming poetic now?)

(and before you ask, I'm a very bad patient - which is why I guess it's lucky that I rarely get ill)

Actually, I'm beginning to like whining now...

I've also noted I'm a lot meanier and less helpful when I feel ill. Thus, my plan to learn how to be evil might actually work if I feel ill more often... then again, I hate being ill so maybe not...

RAWR RAWR RAWR

Someone should really invent more effective painkillers...

or maybe I should just try getting drunk... might make the head feel better?

(Yes, I know feeling ill isn't really that bad, but I like to moan okay?)

You know you have had a bad week when:

1. Your house gets broken into and your livelihood gets stolen.
2. Your only suspects are your so-called friends.
3. It takes you two days to remember your damn gmail password.
4. You get a parking ticket for parking in YOUR OWN DRIVEWAY.
5. You get a letter from the state saying that you sewage pipe is broken, it's basically their fault, and you have 30 days to fix it, out of your own pocket.

At least my stomach is fine... I need it to stomach my life at the moment. I already have a blog for my outside life. You can find it on my myspace. I will post here when I can, but if you want the real juice, it's on my other blog. You can find that, add me, whatevr at www.myspace.com/aj_french

That's about as long winded as I can be at the moment. I got to get back to my Sherlock Holmes-esque search for the bastard that just pretty much took away my life. When I find him, you'll read about it in the papers. Make sure to check the obituary section.

Hi all Animanda staff members! Yanagi and murders, you should check your e-mail to accept the invitation, have a google account ready, and start logging in to post. That's easy!

For starters, I'm the only translator that's being alive since the days where Animanda was struggling for releases[there are 2 more translators, but they're too busy with their own personal stuffs]. I remember when I first join Animanda, they were only doing a joint sub with Doremi[what title was that? I forgot...]. So ish asked me this question, "What will you like to sub?". I answered shyly, "Anything."

Ok, I kinda regretted saying that, and because of that, Suzumiya Haruhi project was initiated[Actually it was suggested by Alu]. The first episode was happy translated by Pape, and subsequent 2-4 episode were translated by me. I remembered the pain whereby the dialogue was so longgggg...and I took 2-3days just to finish one episode. The ironic thing is, a.f.k. managed to release the episode 2 days after the Japanese air date, was kinda hit me hard.

Himawari Season 1 was also started about the same time. However, our translator pape was kinda bogged down with his personal life, thus the project was stalled until today. We apologise for that.

While I'm struggling to translate, out comes my angel, PG. Although she only agree to be a translation checker at first, ish brainwashed her and now she's become the official translator for Animanda and doing one of the super ultra popular anime[can't say the title]. I guess the QCers at that time heaved a really big sigh of relief as with the help of the TLC, the script accuracy has risen a lot. I thank PG for that.

In October 2006, we started out a new project, Zero no Tsukaima, which was initiated by me. It was going along fine, until trouble comes when ish has to leave for a week for holidays. Guess what? Work was stalled that entire week, no one was contributing to anything. At that time, I kinda hated the group for the lack of effort. Unfortunately, the two projects were still stalled even now, but at least it's still on track. [Negima Haru OVA wasn't spared either. Thus, I've decided to not translate anymore for Animanda till the group is ready.]

Why is Animanda struggling with the releases? Simple. Lack of staff.

Well, that's the old days of Animanda.

I guess I need not say anything more for the new Animanda. More new friendly staff, constant releases, maintaining our goal from the start, which is producing high quality subs and video to all fans. Thanks to all fans and staffs who were with Animanda for the past one year.

Next month is Animanda first anniversary. Care to leave your well-wishes for us? We've announced 2 new projects for April 2007 in the forums, so go check it out.

Okay, there's finally a use for the blog again :D

It's going to be random staff gossip and nonsense, including funny IRC logs I guess :P (which can be revealed to the public)

As Suzuka suggested we should have a blog to tell people all about our non fansubbing activities and such (I think that was the general idea, no?), especially since due to timezones and such we do miss each other every so often ^_^.

Anyway, let the blogging begin (wonder if you ppl. will remember to blog?)

I'll start by wishing everyone a Happy St. Patrick's day!!!

Go, go, go, the ultimate aim of this day for those who celebrate it, is to go out and drink as much Guiness as possible...
