It would be great if they would translate the fmp novels or better let Brandi send in her translation. :)

With COTS they used fanconsultants for the first time, I hope they will do the same with FMP .. atleast splat bullets will be out of the question if they do.. :twisted:

Then again it took 10 years before the first official COTS novel translation .. So an ETA on FMP would be around 2008 ~ 2009 <g>

"Can I help you?, "you know this section is.." she broke off her sentence as the man walked towards her and nodded, "I think you can Captain".
Tessa looked down, "I haven't been called Captain in 4 years," Wha..what do you want?"
He gave her a devious grin, "I'm here to make sure you keep your promise."

Meh... the wording is less than clear in some places though... and gah, the Gosroth battle was a downer. They need a quicker release to other English speaking nations... had to ask my cousin stateside to send me the cursed thing. And you'd think they'd improve the paper quality...
Remember kids, trying to start Armageddon is dangerous. Do not try it at home.

[14:57] Katyusha [Love Through Superior Firepower]: Nope, cant see a thing.
[14:57] Katyusha [Love Through Superior Firepower]: Not using MSN remember?
[14:57] Silver Lynxy: Oh right. You're one of those Trillian people, aren't you?
[14:58] Katyusha [Love Through Superior Firepower]: trillian people? =.= What are we, an ethnicity now?
[15:00] Silver Lynxy: Yes. An evil race.

As much as I liked the series, I have to say the first GitS novel was pretty stale...

Only other anime-based novel I read aside from that was the MSG novelization. Didn't like that either, since I thought the whole White Base crew was made a little too... uh, randy then they should be.

I read Battle Royale, but, IIRC, that came before the manga and stuff. Dunno if it would qualify as "anime based" in that case...

It didn't feel I was cheated out of my money. :)
But I'm highly biased when it comes to the GiTS universe.

I hear Tokyopop's bringing the 12 Kingdoms novels to the US in 2007. :-P I highly recommend them because the anime adaptation was made of win, and if the source material > adaptation... you're in for a treat.
