I think I speak for everyone (for once) when I say:

"ABOUT TIME!"

I'm looking forward to reading it.

Why is the character description page so dry ^^;;

Lycoris
She is deaf, blind, and mute

Because this is Tokyopop we're talking about here, the creators of ORCA IN A THONG! (No, I will not let it go...evah...

)

.... Just when that got out of my head and forgotten about it.

[ On another note, YES, ABOUT FLIPPIN' TIME! ]

Balmung
Balmung a legendary player that is known all over the World. The wings were part of a mod he obtained during .hack//AI BUSTER. He was one of two players that destroyed the One Sin, during the "One Sin avent".

... my god, where do they find these writers? 1st Grade?

"I knows my english gud!"

:3...I just HAD to! The mental images dredged up from the first volume could be repressed in your minds no more! Oh, and also:

Tokyopop wrote:Orca
Orca: Like Balmung, Orca is a lengendary player.

ok now I knew they either wrote it up in 5 mins or used a 5th grader volunteer worker to do it ^^;;

Will the translation be a good one? >_>;;;

But at least the spelling is correct!

Well, it isn't uncommon for books and anime to come out well before their street date. From my experiance, .hack//L.o.t.T. Vol.1 came out a week before for me, Gantz vol. 5 came out a whole month before, Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex Vol.7 w/Tin came out 3 weeks before, and //AI Busters came out apparantly a week before for my as well. It really all depends on what you do: who you buy it from, when you buy it (preorder or not), how much demand is for it, etc. I'll be going to B&N tommorow to pick up my copy (t'was in Mexico for the past week ^_^)

Ah yes I just got my copy. The translation was quite good, even though it's much shorter than I thought. (The japanese one was like 1 cm thick tho, so it makes sense) =b
