Of course the world is a completely different place to what it was just a few months ago and those who committed to help translate this have all but disappeared due to world events (can't blame them). However, as it turns out I'm between official projects and bored so I've resumed translation on this slowly chipping away at the branch school till my next official project comes along. So some progress will happen in the interim, and perhaps eventually it will all get translated this way.

I don't suppose you've compared imopara 1, 2, 3, etc...

Welcome aboard. Fan translation is not for the faint  hearted as it requires many many many hours of dedication to what is entirely a volunteer project for sometimes harsh ungrateful audiences. If you want to try it out, you can see about joining our project which needs another dedicated translator, but you'd have to take the translation test first. That should also tell you if you're up for the task. Here's a link to our project:

Machine translation is a lie, and Japanese translation is an oxymoron.

she finally arrived, after about a full month of waiting.
a little disappointing, as i was expecting her to be based upon an OBITSU 24,
much as her companion Lucy Maria Misora was, but alas,
she's based around the very same archaic OBITSU 21 design as the one
that i had gotten a couple of years back for my VOLKS UFS To Heart 1 HMX-12 Multi.
naturally, her head, being rather perfectly scaled for the 21,
looks rather awkward when mated to an OBITSU 24, old or new design.
perhaps someday OBITSU will roll out a new 21cm. design,
and that will be poor Konomi-chan's salvation.
for now, however;





fully dressed photos to come, soon as i finish working on her sailor suit...
 
a bit of Fun, Fractured Phrasing for those amused by such things;


 
those "stretched" proportions on Konomi just kept continually bugging me,
so i got her an OBITSU 24ver. 2 body, and... IT WORKS BEAUTIFULLY!!!

 
at last, the Konomi-chan that i've pined for, for years now, has arrived;

a new girl is joining the 1/6 Anime Family; "Lucy Maria Misora" from the 2005 series "To Heart 2"
she should be here by JAN. 02, a rather unexpected late Christmas gift to myself, since she happened to be there at the right time, at a price i just couldn't say no to, no less...

You just don't like its delivery, stories, characters, nor character development. It's time to move on. Me, on the other hand, I absolutely love it and can't get enough of it. There's no poor adaptation, it's just not clicking for you; I've read most of the LNs and the anime is a very good adaptation of them. Not everything works for everyone and unfortunately that's the case here for you. There's something very Gen X about its story and characters, so perhaps that's why it resonates with me more.

This is a relative stinker of a season and mostly it's old shows that are worth watching. Considering how much anime I watch, this is the fewest shows I've been watching in about half a dozen years which is bad. Here's what's left after just one week:
 
Arte (TV) - kind of interesting, harmless, nothing exciting but a nice filler
Ascendance of a Bookworm (TV 2) - Sequel, enjoyed the first season and happy for more. Quality seems to be maintained so far.
A Certain Scientific Railgun T (TV 3) - Sequel of a sequel of a sequel. Nothing wrong here (unlike Index 3).
Fruits Basket 2nd Season (TV) - Sequel of a remake. Very much looking forward to what was never completed first time around of this heartwarming story.
Gleipnir (TV) - Mildly interesting and melodramatic in the extreme and drags shit out. Not sure I'll last out the entire seasonn
Listeners (TV) - Interesting plot and very cute heroine but cheap looking 3D animation
My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! (TV) - Amusing alternative take on Isekai
Princess Connect! Re:Dive (TV) - Yeah not sure why but it survived me watching the first episode, but will probably be dropped
Sing "Yesterday" for Me (TV) - Interesting drama romance with mature adults, if a little depressing it is still interesting.
Tower of God (TV) - Battle royale for the season. Probably drop it.
Tsugumomo2 (TV 2) - Ecchi hijinks sequel with almost no meaningful plot to speak of.
Shokugeki(TV 5) - Another sequel of low budget pans, wipes, and zooms and very little animation, but can we just get on with the Erina x Souma romance already? Kinda bored of the foodgasms now.
Still waiting on:
Re: Zero S2. Despite its flaws, Re: Zero is an entertaining watch and I'm interested to see (what happens to Rem.)
Oregairu S3 - most anticipated anime of the last few years for me. Delaying it is killing me, but it's given me time to rewatch S1 and S2.
 
All in all, no real new stand out gems at all. If I was to recommend anything new this season, it would be Sing Yesterday and My Next Life as a Villainess. Cue up those sequels if you've been watching them though.

I'm halfway through W'z, the Hand Shakers sequel. I still don't understand how this show became a thing, but damn, it has all kind of stuff. Yuri bating. Yaoi baiting. Wierd romantic tension between the new protagonist and first show's main couple. All the absurdly cliched and dumb characters from the first series in supporting roles...
Pretty much, it's everything you would expect a Hand Shakers sequel to be, but infinitely more competent. I mean, it's still clunky, visually inconsistent and at times plain ugly, but words can hardly express how barfy and cheap the original was. Even the writing and characters are a major improvement, despite by no means being good – it's a step-up from the ultimate trainwreck of all time to just being amusingly bad. And I somehow find it very fun to watch, probably because of the memories of Hand Shakers being so very much alive in my mind. I'm not sure any bad anime will ever be able to beat it and while this second season is not the same, it satisfies my twisted nostalgia. Maybe it wasn't a mistake after all...?
5/10 so far, and I think it'll stay there. But the joy of seeing arguably the worst anime in history spawning an actual franchise? Priceless.
Edit: After finishing W'z, I have to lower my score to 4/10, because some of the new characters proved incredibly obnoxious and once more, the rules of the world and character motivations were all over the place. To be honest, I still don't really know what was the main villain's deal... But I know that the heavily-implied yaoi ending he got with his butler was one of the most glorious things I've seen in crap-tier anime. Generally, the second half of the season was a little bit more of the side of "plain dumb" and less "amusingly bizarre". Still, I have no regrets about watching it, as the "so bad it's good" entertainment factor was never fully gone.

Hope you all look forward to it ^^
 

All Best Wishes To You @ittaku! 

Thanks a lot! It's a big one, and thus the first and last one I'll make a very big deal about online

@ittaku Happy birthday! 

Happy birthday, @ittaku! Ruu \(^-^)/
