Damn it! I hope this makes them speed up the translation

 

[aki]

In addition to the Sword Art Online light novels, Yen also will be releasing both the SAO Aincrad and SAO Fairy Dance manga arcs. Publication of the first novel and manga volumes is slated for early 2014.

 

[Tokyogirl1996]

They're airing SAO on Cartoon Network in USA. First time seeing a show with Yuki' s music being aired on American tv.

^ It has actually happened with .hack SIGN, Noir too but that was in the past

ontopic: I hope they translate the volumes fast so that someone can scan vols 11+ because they are not translated by fans yet

 

[KimH]

Wasn't .Hack//Root and Gundam Seed in Cartoon Network? Haven't watched the former and watched the later in DVD. (And the fact Carton Network as is is not available in Canada!)

 

[Tokyogirl1996]

Hmm. Maybe, but I'd never seen them. Also, I'd never seen them translate to English dub so fast.

 

[aki]

Vol.12 is now complete on baka-tsuki!

 

[george1234]

^ wow, link please?

[george1234]

I meant link for the pdf they usually share in the forum because I am lazy to search for it

 

[aki]

I read it on the site, so you'll have to overcome your laziness this time :P

Great way to spend the new year with Kirito and co. don't care on unnecessary fanservice though lol

 

[george1234]

There will be new song by Aoi Eir titled Niji no Oto (The Sound of the Rainbow) for the Extra episode. http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/20 ... theme-song

I think its the first time an episode that's basically a recap has new music

and fb post from Aoi Eir herself http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid= ... 157&type=1 ( her good english keep surprising me )

Re:

Huh? Are you talking in general? Specials like that usually have all new songs. See Gundam special edition, Fate reproduction, etc.

 

[george1234]

ah ok then (its just that I hadnt spotted any myself) ^^

 

[george1234]

There will be some kind of special program before the episode airs

bump

there's a new streaming site called Daisuki, made by some anime publishers (Aniplex, Toei, Bandai, and 2 others https://www.daisuki.net/company/) it still has very few anime though (considering it opened in April). Aniplex has offered Madoka, SAO and Kill la Kill, while Bandai has 4 Gundam series.

If that all sounds a tad too rosy, consider this: The biggest new player on the horizon is a streaming-video site called Daisuki, which will go live in late April. Here’s the current team: Toei, Sunrise, TMS, Aniplex, Nihon Ad Systems and Dentsu. That’s a lot of content and a significant investment to build a bridge to anime’s growing international audience.

“We’re not just another streaming site,” Daisuki President Kunihiko Shibata tells me in his Ebisu office. “We’re committed to connecting fans with creators. Daisuki will be a brand that both Japanese artists and overseas fans will recognize as a home for anime and its human creators. We have direct access to the studios and artists, and we have lots of plans to bring them directly into contact with non-Japanese fans. We’re going to offer exclusives — interviews, insider stories, behind the scenes stuff. I think you know how valuable this could be.”

The site will have the SAO extra ep on simulcasst after it airs in Japan. https://www.daisuki.net/topics/view/10166 I plan on supporting the site (by watching the anime), since its my only way to support them, (since I dont buy stuff from stores), the streaming quality is pretty good and the y all come with subs.

P.S: They also have interview of the seiyuus that play Kirito and Asuna as well as of the (lame) director. https://www.daisuki.net/tv/saointerview
