Calling all translators_editors

[Dayspring]

This is a copy+paste of a thread I just put over at the daizex boards. I want all to see it.
---------------------------------------------

Anybody up for a joint venture project translating and editing some mini-manga (documentary and gag) Toriyama made for Weekly Jump (all Dragonball manga related)?

1) One of them, a 6-panel X-Mas special, has the last appearance of Lunch (from the Namek saga!!!).

2) Another is a 4 chapter (4-panels per chapter) mini-manga called "The Manga Training of MutenRoshi!"

3) Another 4 chapter manga (4 panels again) is "Akira Toriyama, the grand master of manga!!"

4) A 15-panel manga called "The Anime and Me", where Toriyama explains why there's filler, that he loves filler, and considers Dragonball to be the manga AND the anime (...does that mean he considers filler as canon?! ). It's also the one where he explains he once considered having Goku as an old geezer at the end of the manga (he drew geezer goku in this panel)

5) Don't need help for this one. It's the famous but lost 4-panel manga of Vegeta getting a gutterball as Toriyama's contribution to "First Drawings of the New Year of Jump!"

I need a translator for projects 1, 2, and 3 of the of the four chapters of the third project. I need editors (someone to replace the katakana with english text) for all but the Vegeta one. I can translate some, but only from katakana to alphabet. EX: "Bathing suit" would go from katakana to "Mizugi".

And yes, I have the info concerning what years+volumes of Weekly Jump they appeared in.

That's really cool Dayspring. Where did you find those? I'm not able to translate, but what exactly would being an editor entail? I could do that I guess. ^_^

The French daizenshuu. I've never seen them on the net so I'm starting to wonder if they're in the original daizenshuu. Either that or EX+Julian just hate looking shit up in the daizenshuu. I can translate the stuff that was scanslated into french, but a lot of it was left in Japanese. Julian at daizex said he'll do that. Editing would be just typing up the english over the katakana (MS Paint I guess).

The Lunch one goes as follows:
1) Kamesenin sweeping his steps dressed up as Santa
2) Lunch in some mountain region looking pissed
3) Puar reading manga while Oolong sleeps (looks like they're waiting for Santa)
4) Bulma playing Nintendo on Namek (when she was hidden in the cave where a house couldn't fit)
5) Yamcha covering his eyes against a tree while Tenshinhan, Chaozu, Bubbles and Kaio run to hide.

Sweet! You can start by cropping Geezer Goku into an avatar-size that's allowable on the Daizex boards! ;D


I mean LOOK at him!

Thanky. Especially for doing it so quickly. I had to delete the original to make space in my photobucket account for the higher quality pics. Unfortunately I have to remove everybody from editing: EX wants this to strictly be between me and daizex. Thanks for everything though, guys!
