One Potato Two

I translated something else for Gunbuster.


Company BV announced on their Gunbuster site a while ago that they will be giving away manga cards.

The details from the Gunbuster website:

For a limited time only, we will give away a Trailer Manga Card drawn by renowned illustrator & manga artist Haruhiko Mikimoto (also famous for character designer for Macross) to EVERYBODY who purchases a Gunbuster DVD!! All you need to do is as easy as picking a bean with hands of Machine Weapon.

Step 1: Buy the DVD
Step 2: Watch all six episodes
Step 3: Fill out the survey postcard enclosed in the DVD
Step 4: Mail the postcard (don’t forget to put a stamp on it)
Step 5: Keep practicing Lightning Kick until Gunbuster delivers the Trailer Manga Card to you

The Trailer Manga Card is highly collectible. Do you know why? Because it’s never been available anywhere in the world…or even in the galaxy! It was drawn back in 1988, even before Gunbuster was released in Japan! Don’t worry. We won’t keep you wait for 12,000 years to send you the card.

Though, keep it in mind that this offer is first-come-first-served. This jaw-dropping campaign ends March 30th, 2007 as long as supplies last.


I think the coach drawn by Mikimoto is very hot.

E'S #1 is released today.

Since I'll be in Torrance later on to translate video games, maybe I'll stop by the Borders there to look at it.
(One of the highest manga-selling Borders in the nation, I heard).

Volume 1 is about the E'S military troop's first Gald-related assignment.
And, of course by manga law, it goes wrong.

Yuuki is "kidnapped" to find that he has a job offer (which is more baggage than he asked for), then later Asuka finds Kai, another baggage Yuuki has to deal with.


At the end, there's extra manga by the author with SD (or "chibi," to be PC) Shin-lu and Shen-long.

And then there's Asuka introducing the city of Gald.
Even if most of volume 2 will be in Gald, it's there for people who can't wait until volume 2 is released.
