End of the Season
あっちょんぶりけ！ (Atcheonbourique!)
It’s end of the year. It’s the end of another anime season. We completed another series with a decent success. But that’s not difficult to do. The note-worthy event of the day is my translation #783. I just finished translation of Black Jack episode 61. What’s more, I only translated episode 58 only two days ago – well after the release of 57. And 58 is progressing so well that it’ll probably be released by Christmas. The whole team is pumped right now to finish the series this year. We have nine days left. Isn’t that exciting?
Actually, the timing really doesn’t matter to me. It just feels so good to have it done. It took us 3 and a half years to release 63 episodes. That’s less than 20 episodes per year. It was a slow going project. Sure, we took some detours – 17 episodes of Black Jack 21, a movie, and 13 episodes of RAY (just because BJ made cameo appearances in 2 episodes)… And this project always got put in the back burner of the whole team. There were painful moments.
But it’s done.
I’m ready for a vacation.
…only after I see those episodes released!

Of course I want to wish you a Happy New Year BUT I write for something you did a while ago. Nodame Cantabile.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR WONDERFUL TRANSLATION. You have brought these works to life for me. Your sense of humor needed for this work is superb. I bought the disks stupidly thinking it would be like I see on the net (you) and the crap I read in this so called translation brought me an inch from tears. I came back to your work and could breath again….thank you. Do you have your work bundled for this program? If so I would happily purchase it.
