There's just the four pages, and no dialogue, so not much to "release" there. Maybe we'll include the pages with the chapter once some decent scans of that show up.

>>8 doesn't seem to work. http://mangahelpers.com/downloads/read-online/36351/1 seems to exist, though.

>>9 is a bit lacking in detail. If you're going to scan manga, here's a good way to do it: Scan at high resolution, like 600 DPI, and completely ignore colour curves. Then run a threshold on the image, picking a value that gets you a good reproduction of the screentones and lines, and after that, scale down to a more manageable size. The results will be a lot better than most other techniques.

11 Name: Zhukov : 2009-06-23 01:44 ID:y3hLpeLz [Del]

If you do your scans the way I described earlier, which will get you almost perfect whites and blacks, you can use PNG with just, say, 16 colours, and get files that are almost as small as, or smaller than JPEGs, and are much better quality.

Also, that Miku video is awesome. XD

4 Name: Zephire : 2009-02-02 00:50 ID:iEty/1cx [Del]

You know, I still prefer your Whisper's Guide over the guide that came with the season 1 Emma boxset (I haven't managed to find the second season). Not to say the official guide is bad (I particularly liked the fashion and building layouts in it), but it doesn't really touch on much of what you did.

Thanks for posting those =) It sure does bring me back. Any plans on posting your guide for the second season as well?

5 Name: whispers : 2009-02-02 04:07 ID:LKSStE1a [Del]

In time, I will post the second season's guides, yes. If I get particularly ambitious (and can find raws) I might even do three more at the end for the episodes we didn't do.

6 Name: Zephire : 2009-02-04 01:26 ID:iEty/1cx [Del]

I was about to say I had the raws, but then I remembered that I forewent downloading the raws for fear of seeing the ending which I wouldn't understand. I have the subbed ones the other group did, but not the raws, unfortunately.

Ms, Kaoru Mori new manga (64)

1 Name: Servidor : 2008-09-30 12:35 ID:lqkWV8Sa [Del]

From Anime News Network:
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2008-09-30/emma-kaoru-mori-launches-otome-katari-manga

"Historical work about horse-riding, arrow-shooting princess on Asia's Silk Road.

Kaoru Mori, the creator of the award-winning Victorian-era Emma manga, announced on her personal blog this month that she is starting a new manga in the inaugural issue of Enterbrain's Fellows! magazine on October 14. An advertisement in the September 25 issue of the free Toradayo magazine further revealed that the new work is a historical manga set on the Silk Road that connected Asia with Europe before the modern times. The story will center around a princess who knows archery and horsemanship. According to a flyer for Fellows! magazine, the manga is tentatively titled Otome-Katari, and the princess is named Amiru.

Fellows! was originally the name of a spinoff publication to Enterbrain's Comic Beam magazine. Mori drew Emma in Comic Beam, and she later drew Shirley, a manga set in Edwardian England, in the Comic Beam Fellows! publication. CMX Manga publishes Emma and Shirley in North America."

Would you guys at IItran be translating this new manga from Ms. Mori?

55 Name: Lotus : 2009-01-17 21:01 ID:8bIsoPi0 [Del]

Whisper, I'm not sure research on the Ottoman Empire will help much here for your notes. I think the characters in Otoyomegatari are Central Asian Tartars, not Ottoman Turks. Maybe Volga Tartars would be my guess! Research on Tartar tribes in Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, and Uzbekistan might help! My knowledge of the region doesn't really extend past the Buddhist period, wish I could be of more help :(

56 Post deleted by moderator.

57 Name: whispers : 2009-01-18 06:45 ID:BAKTC4em [Del]

Yes, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan are the two most mentioned by others, too, usually the latter. What keywords should I look for when researching, I wonder? It's a shame I know so little about this area. And any books that might help, that I can find at the library or bookstore?

58 Name: Lotus : 2009-01-18 18:21 ID:gifZwzAq [Del]

I'll see what I can dig up and then report back soon! By the way, I think it's great that there is a foreign Orientalist (the light-haired fellow) in the story! Around the late 1800's, scholars specializing in Asian literature and culture like Sir Aurel Stein traveled through Central Asia collecting texts to be translated and often living with the local populations for a number of years. This is nice for me, because I am an Orientalist-in-training myself! :)

(And it really is worth buying them, there's a lot of good manga besides Otoyomegatari in Fellows!. It's even a lot better than Beam.)
